    We need to talk about what will happen when LNUX is delisted. What will hurt are the projects hosted on sourceforge. Is it time to start migrating these projects elsewhere? Where will they go? The party is over, slashdot is near death. One thing is certain, no linux company has ever recovered from such a precarious position.

    Is Linux is better than MS Windows?

    "The two are entirely different and not comparable enough to decide. Also what specific version of the item MS Windows are you referring to? Do you just wish to compare the kernels for capabilities?"

    If free software is better than proprietary?

    "Better in what way? Free in what way? Proprietary in what way?"

    Is sharing music stealing?

    "No. Sharing music cannot be stealing. To steal you must take something from someone else without permission. To share is to give away something you have, you are therefore in posession of it to begin with. If you stole it to posess it originally then you are stealing."

    yes, because an Afterlife is neither provable nor disprovable, therefore out of the scope of any scientific discussion.
    By your explanation, will self-replicating AI, since it creates itself, have an Afterlife?

    Manners are a socially-based feedback mechanism for the neccesary moral structure of any given number of philosophies. The question is what god do you worship and how does he punish infidels; or more contemporary, what science will lie at the root of the next great technological revolution, and what questions of ethics (not morals) will be brought up?

    Here is an example for morality that many of you are unlikely to puzzle on for long, " Which way do you pass a pipe when you are smoking?"

    In your first example an adjective is used; two things are said both to be "intelligent"; in your second example two nouns are said to both be a noun.

    I imagine they have taught it that "animal" has sub-classes.

    We are all Palestinian [sinkers.org]

    Leaving aside the racist and false analogies of the site you link to, just what does this statement mean? That we are all citizens of a totalitarian dictatorship which pays us to send our children to blow themselves up in the children's areas of restaurants in order to distract us from the fact that we live in a state in which we have no freedoms and no democracy? I'd have to differ, really...

    Yup, slashdot. And inflammatory sig linked to a racist flamebait page is unmodded, but a disagreement is modded down.

    How the hell is an anti-racist site racist? Because it depicts a bunch of cruel ass bastards being dickheads?

    Now nobody is defending the VIOLENT palestinians, just the ones who are getting their asses shot up and their children raped.

    Fuck man, look at the pictures some time, both sides of that war are doing horrific shit, and civilians on both sides don't deserve it.

    And he's had that sig for ages now, he might have been originally modded down for it, but hell, that was ages ago.

    Besides, sigs are personal lines, you can put whatever you want in them. Yeesh. As long as it ain't illegal shit, some people link to HC porn
