Ext4 Advances As Interim Step To Btrfs
Heise.de's Kernel Log has a look at the ext4 filesystem as Linus Torvalds has integrated a large collection of patches for it into the kernel main branch. "This signals that with the next kernel version 2.6.28, the successor to ext3 will finally leave behind its 'hot' development phase." The article notes that ext4 developer Theodore Ts'o (tytso) is in favor of ultimately moving Linux to a modern, "next-generation" file system. His preferred choice is btrfs, and Heise notes an email Ts'o sent to the Linux Kernel Mailing List a week back positioning ext4 as a bridge to btrfs.
You were modded offtopic and I will be too, but I feel I have to respond.
So if atheists ran things we'd legalize legitimate behaviors between consenting adults and would stop pretending that religious morality has a place in government?
Except for the disgusting lynching at the end, I fail to see what's wrong with the rest of your post.
I currently have no clever signature witicism to add here.
It's someone who is athier than everyone else within the reference frame. Given that most people aren't very athy at all it's not really difficult to be the athiest for moderately sized reference frames.
USE HOT GRITS WITH STATUE OF NATALIE PORTMAN (NAKED AND PETRIFIED)
I know this is just flame bait but incase anyone reads it. Hilter was a christian but he didn't attend church world conquering is busy work i guess. Stalin Was raised to be a priest, hated became athiest, then later became a born again devoted catholic. Obama is obviously a christian even if his parents don't practice.
Well, it was another copy/paste troll. And I found quite a lot more wrong with it than the lynching -- which was downright comical. Black robes and hoods?!
Way up at the beginning, "ATHEIST KID" is probably meant to be a teenager. I can see where some people might have a problem with that -- especially a parent. If nothing else, there's STDs, and there's the working conditions of the hooker.
Marijuana is almost certainly not as bad as it's made out to be, and I would say the impact of outlawing it is worse than the drug itself. But from what my parents tell me of their own experience (so to speak), it absolutely has a negative effect on memory. You're going to tell me that atheists, who don't believe (or don't know) that they're going anywhere after they die, are going to risk the health of their one and only brain for a high?
Some would, I'm sure. Some Christians would (and do) as well. But I doubt there's a correlation, except in extreme cases -- like Rastafarians, who consider it a religious experience.
And, well, abortions are expensive, potentially dangerous, and time consuming. Even if you know nothing about atheists -- and hey, there's no reason an atheist can't be pro-life -- why would anyone choose a $500 abortion over a $1 condom?
Even if you assume atheists are inherently amoral (NOT true), why would you also assume they're complete morons?
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
If there were an atheist authority, I would totally report you to it.
As for the abortion issue, that is actually the problem I have with abortions. There are literally dozens of effective forms of birth control that can and do stop the majority of unwanted pregnancies. You have condoms, spermicidal foams, the pill, implants, the ping pong ball that a women put between her knees and doesn't let it drop to the floor (abstinence), and many others including snipping the tubes or nuts. All of which are cheaper then an abortion and doesn't require the destruction of life.
Of course it take some personal responsibility to use the method but I sort of think that if you can't be responsible in that tinny way, you probably shouldn't be having sex. Now I do understand that sometimes birth control doesn't work. I'm not sure I can support an abortion in this manor because there is always adoption and people will often cover all the expenses of giving birth but it isn't my decision to make. I just really have a problem with Abortion as a form of birth control.
As for assuming Atheist as complete morons, I wouldn't make that a blanket statement but I do know a few that would likely fit that classification. And the worse part about it is that they actually think they are somehow elite in the process. It doesn't take long to look around and see them. But then again, I wouldn't limit the amount of morons to just Atheist either.
It's someone who practices Atheism
One doesn't "practice" atheism, you silly troll.
