Religion / Re: Understanding The 10th Dimension by mavenbox: 5:39pm On Dec 10, 2009
@KunleOshob: LOL did you watch the video? It explains the physical attributes of higher dimensions. As for heaven, I personally believe it is not in a physical higher dimension. It's like trying to understand irrationals like pi and e while studying the complexity of fractions and recurring decimals?  shocked shocked shocked

@PastorAIO: Glad you like it! Got these videos off youtube last year, it was an interesting view. Thought some people may find it interesting, so I posted the links here.

@Xtristo:  grin LOL thanks, but sha na God get power o, man's intellect is a joke. Like the moon reflecting the sun's light, we really know nothing and can comprehend nothing. By their fruits you shall know them, and not their many green leaves!

Computers / Re: Device Manager Not Working by mavenbox: 5:13pm On Dec 10, 2009
@Nixo: Okay I guessed as much! What the virus does is to edit some registry keys that control the task manager so that you won't be able to use the task manager to end the virus system processes.

I'm not sure if the process explorer will work. What I am sure about is that this can be resolved by entering the registry (Run -> Regedit) and editing the keys correctly.

Method 1
Editing the registry can be fatal to your PC if you make a mistake, so you can just visit

http://www.taskmanagerfix.com/

and download the 76kb fixer file. It is very easy to use, and will simply edit the registry keys for you.

Other methods:

Method 2 - Using the Group Policy Editor (assuming you use Windows XP Professional)

   1. Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
   2. Under User Configuration, Click on the plus (+) next to Administrative Templates
   3. Click on the plus (+) next tSystem, then click on Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options
   4. Find Remove Task Manager in the right-hand pane and double click on it
   5. Choose the option "Not Configured"  and click Ok.
   6. Close the Group Policy Window

Method 3:  Change the Task Manager Option through the Run line

   1. Click on Start, Run and type the following command exactly and press Enter

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Method 4: Change Task Manager through a Registry REG file

   1. Click on Start, Run, and type Notepad and press Enter
   2. Copy and paste the information between the dotted lines into Notepad and save it to your desktop as taskmanager.reg

------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000
-------------------------------------

      3. Double click on the taskmanager.reg file to enter the information into the Windows registry

Method 5: Delete the restriction in the registry manually

   1. Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
   2. Navigate to the following branch

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies\ System

   3. In the right pane, find and delete the value named DisableTaskMgr
   4. Close the registry editor

Best Regards!

Religion / Re: Questions To All The YEC In The House. by mavenbox: 4:52pm On Dec 10, 2009
In truth, one thing I say often is that human beings are the ones limited by languages and forms of expression. God is not limited. So when God communicates with man, he speaks with him in a way that man can understand. God does not speak Urdu, Hausa or Spanish, he speaks to the heart and the heart translates into understanding. Besides, the knowledge of mankind is progressive, and if it is all revealed to him at once, he may not be able to handle it. e.g. some ritual practices declared in Leviticus may have seemed irksome at the time, but maybe if they knew of micro-organisms and epidemiology they would observe the routines with more knowledge.

As such, when a prophet sees a manifestation of something that is hitherto unknown to him, he will write it or say it in the best known way to him. It does not mean what he saw was wrong, it only means the human expression at that time was too weak to convey the message.

Thus unlike some hasty ones here, I will not say that John was wrong in the Revelations, or Daniel did not know what he was saying.

Without going into too much eschatology, I will outline my reasons below. Those two prophetic books contain symbolic and literal expressions and it takes careful wisdom to divide and discern.

In John's case in Revelations, can one infer that the author so-believes that the stars are smaller than the earth? Inasmuch as John may have thought so, it is not evident here. Saying a star fell unto earth does not imply that the star is smaller. The Greek word used is pipto πίπτω, πέτω
piptō petō (pip'-to, pet'-o) which means to fail, to light upon, to collide with. The same way an aeroplane in the sky can fall upon a small isolated hut, assume an explosion and destroy itself and the puny hut. The Bible says

Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

The question then is "How does a fig cast her untimely figs?". Untimely figs indicates that the figs are still meant to be connected to the fig tree, obeying the laws of nature the same way the stars are in the galaxy obeying the force of nature. Until a greater force bends the rules and forces things to go out of sync (by Newton's first law). Here, that greater force is wind and in the case of ths stars it could be any cosmogonical entity or factor now known/unknown to man. Since we do not yet know all such entities in our galaxy and beyond, can we convincingly assume that it cannot happen? In science, I believe "it cannot happen" is a self-defeating statement that has been uttered throughout the ages and yet proven erroneous after a while.

In Daniel's case, the reference to stars was entirely symbolic, and in John's case I believe it was literal. In Daniel, the goat was Alexander the Great and the exalted horn was Antiochus Epiphanes. I was going to start explaining with historical books, etymology of the Hebrew words etc. when I just discovered that the Amplified Bible has simplified the understanding of the passage.


Dan 8:1 IN THE third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that appeared to me at the first.
Dan 8:2 And I saw in the vision and it seemed that I was at Shushan the palace or fortress [in Susa, the capital of Persia], which is in the province of Elam, and I saw in the vision and I was by the river of Ulai.
Dan 8:3 And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a [single] ram which had two horns [representing two kings of Medo-Persia: Darius the Mede, then Cyrus]; and the two horns were high, but one [Persia] was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.
Dan 8:4 I looked and saw the ram [Medo-Persia] pushing and charging westward and northward and southward; no beast could stand before him, neither could anyone rescue from his power, but he did according to his [own] will and pleasure and magnified himself. [Dan. 8:20.]
Dan 8:5 As I was considering, behold, a he-goat [the king of Greece] came from the west across the face of the whole earth without touching the ground, and the goat had a conspicuous and remarkable horn between his eyes [symbolizing Alexander the Great]. [Dan. 8:21.]
Dan 8:6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns which I had seen standing on the bank of the river and ran at him in the heat of his power.
Dan 8:7 [In my vision] I saw him come close to the ram [Medo-Persia], and he was moved with anger against him and he [Alexander the Great] struck the ram and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but the goat threw him to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.
Dan 8:8 And the he-goat [Alexander the Great] magnified himself exceedingly, and when he was [young and] strong, the great horn [he] was [suddenly] broken; and instead of [him] there came up four notable horns [to whom the kingdom was divided, one] toward [each of] the four winds of the heavens.
Dan 8:9 Out of littleness and small beginnings one of them came forth [Antiochus Epiphanes], a horn whose [impious presumption and pride] grew exceedingly great toward the south and toward the east and toward the ornament [the precious, blessed land of Israel]. [Dan. 8:23.]
Dan 8:10 And [in my vision this horn] grew great, even against the host of heaven [God's true people, the saints], and some of the host and of the stars [priests] it cast down to the ground and trampled on them,
Dan 8:11 Yes, [this horn] magnified itself, even [matching itself] against the Prince of the host [of heaven]; and from Him the continual [burnt offering] was taken away and the place of [God's] sanctuary was cast down and profaned.
Dan 8:12 And the host [the chosen people] was given [to the wicked horn] together with the continual burnt offering because of the transgression [of God's people--their abounding irreverence, ungodliness, an lack of piety]. And righteousness and truth were cast down to the ground, and it [the wicked horn] accomplished this [by divine permission] and prospered.

So unlike what you think, toneyb, Daniel's story was figurative and was not meant to teach "abnormal cell growth in the horns of ungulates, and the celestial physics of astronomy".

seun _:

yeah right, i am like that too, i think it is common with people that have a photographic memory. And the regulars on nairaland
can easily figure such things out easily, because there is a limit to which people can hide their styles. Besides, i am not really trying
to hide. Many know my real identity, but there are a certain set of ppl i do not wish to know my real identity so that i will not drag
them into the ongoing war between seun and his clones!

grin LOL now I know who you are. The boldened phrases have given you away!! Hope you guys get to resolve your issues with Seun, though.
