POPSTips for Linux Explorers There are more tips for each topic at the site. Linux is free, but it takes more than an installation disc. Some of the things I had to learn from the start, burning iso, partitioning discs, and black screen command operation and command lines. linux can also run along side windows, and/or run off a live boot CD. I'm still green, so all of the tips I find help. This seems like a great site for anyone curious or interested in Linux

POPSDrug reference information. Facts, uses and dangers. Alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, codeine, and many more drugs are examples of psychoactive drugs. There is information regarding Legal and Cultural influences. I think that before I can comment on or even have an opinion on drugs, I must be aware of the clinical details, and range of effects. This site does not condone or condemn drug use, but is a valuable guide regarding drugs, particularly commonly taken social drugs, illegal drugs, many prescribed medicines and associated cultural use and Law. Always remembering that every persons metabolism has differences, which may make something that seems safe for some,dangerous, for others, such as allergies, genetic differences, tolerances, and social acceptability. It is always best discussed with a trusted Physician.

POPSIntelligence vs. Fundamentalism Isn't this the way it has always been? Blind faith, fundamentally incompatible with, and diametrically opposed to intelligence? But we shouldn't confuse faith with indoctrination. We should draw a distinction between the blind faith of fundamentalism and the true faith of personal realization. After all, doesn't faith come from experience? Although it is personal and subjective, it is ultimately a judgment of the things we have seen in the world and the conflicts we have felt in our hearts? Doesn't faith spring from exploration? Isn't it confirmed by its challenges? Farris and others in the home-school movement think of enforced ignorance as protective, but isn't it actually a weakness? They think rigid ideological conformity can help Christianity "capture America" (wow, a nation that is already over 80% Christian, that should be tough!) But are they helping it or hurting it? Who do they resemble the closest? Thomas Aquinas or the Spanish Inquisition?
