First off there is no such thing as atheism, there's sanity and insanity, the latter of course comes in many flavors. I'm saying this because we only tolerate fictional truth (please don't give me any bullshit about the Bible being scientifically liable in any way what so ever) when it comes to religion, and we tolerate religion because of the magnitude. If you compare the symptoms of schizophrenia to the behaviour of religious people you'd find many, many similarities. I'm not pulling this out of my ass, I actually did research on this a few years back.
This been said there are no facts about a person that remotely fits the description of "Jesus", and the only real documentation we have is the Bible, written several hundred years after his alleged death. So what makes you so sure that this person existed? Because everyone says so or because you have solid proof? We both know the answer. I cannot say for certain that he didn't exist, I cannot say for certain that God doesn't exist. I cannot say for certain that Santa exists. But I refuse to believe just because I don't know. It doesn't help me sleep better at night or accept death, which has been feared by mankind since his birth. We don't say this out loud because our mothers, friends, cousins, colleagues etc. are religious.
My point is, let's say hypothecially that one day doctors prove that religious behaviour is a mental illness. What do you think would happen? Do you think everyone would just accept this fact and live on with their lives, but now without faith? Of course not, which means that it's a dead end filled with controversy, because "god" forbid us ever challenging the beliefs and rationalization methods of our fellow peers.
Now if you still insist that Jesus did exist I would very much like to know what makes you so sure.
Besides 1.0 can't be considered as just any version, even if it is FOSS we're talking about. To me 1.0 means that you've reached a cruical point where you can consider the application stable and functional for whatever purpose it was initially created. Even if the last update to 1.0 was a corrected typo 1.0 should be considered as a mature release, when the application is "out of the lab".
I would assume that operating on a federal scale, having the entire fucking nation as your workspace, would require a vast amount of communication for coordination. Wait I just downtalked something american, does this make me a troll?
Censorship is great for americans, it helps them not to worry too much. You don't want to worry too much or you might hurt your itty bitty head. Remember we're discussing american agencies here so don't scream Hitler just because I dropped the A-bomb. Haha--that's funny.
Yeah because it's not true that the FBI, CIA and Treasury are hiding information that according to law should be published for anyone to view. Where did you say you were from?
Who the fuck modded this troll? The guy just summed the fucking point of the award. This proves the illusion of freedom in the States and you wonder why nobody wants your "freedom".
This sounds very interesting, but wouldn't it be easier/cheaper/more environment friendly/less fucking bad in general to just buy a new video card and memory modules instead?
Then there's the question of author. This sounds obvious to some and strange to others, but just because you're "in the band" it doesn't mean you have a right to claim the song as "yours". The author/composer of the lyrics/song is the rightful owner and truth is niether Metallica nor any band I know of gather up to write a new song, it's almost always one or two members of the band. This/these is/are the rightful owner(s) of the royalties. This is always defined on each album (written by, composed by, etc.) so that there's no question about whom the owner is. Then there's also the question of quota. How many percent of the song does one own? It may sound strange but this is exactly how it works. Upon creating a song one has to define the percentage owned by each party. Let's say I made the lyrics and you composed the music, a 50/50 would sound fair. But what about if I wrote the lyrics and composed the song but you wrote the chorus? This is a common scenario which requires you to define the quota owned by each party. So basicly if Lars did contribute to all the songs in any other way than just performing them it's his right to copy them freely, unless an agreement has been made between the composing parties that allows him to act as such, if not then he just confessed to an authentic piracy crime.
Bottom line is if you presented this to Lars he would most likely laugh at your silly bureaucracy. Perhaps it would then make sense to him why everyone laughs at his.
NASA: We have found dried up canals which prove past existance of water on Mars!
World: Really? Cool.
NASA: We have found ice on Mars! There is water on Mars!
World: Alright cool, thanks for the info.
NASA: We have found gullylike features on Mars that really proves the past existance of water!
World: Alright, we fucking get it, there was once water on Mars. Jeez, what do you want? Acknowledgement? Everybody, these guys found out that there was once water on Mars. Now either let us know when you've found the rest of Michael Jacksons nose, or leave us alone.
...including from companies in China, India and other countries...
My God! Not in China! And India!!! And other countries!!! This is it, all we can do now is sit and await the four horsemen. May God have mercy on our intellectual properties.

Yeah it's really fucking hard to gain share when the browser comes bundled with your OS, way to go Apple, fucking bravo. I think I will spend the day screaming "Go Steve" at random occasions, as a tribute to this fucking moonlanding Apple just did.
Why? Because google links to other than copyrighted material? Well go ahead and punch yourself in the face. The comparison to google is not stupid, it's not identical since no fucking comparisons in the world are, but it's close enough to make a point, which you don't get. This makes you stupid my friend. Now go troll somewhere else.

I don't intend to defend this system but they wouldn't be considered as profit centres if people didn't drive like braindead fucktards.
So, I take it you don't believe
No need to fill out a complete sentence.

Or you can use this moment to try to push through the adaptation of the metric system. How about it? Proud and retarded or logical and unified?
The one from Redmond.
That's a very precise analysis of you, Vista in comparison to "most 'released early' open source software", yeah that's fair.

I'm sane and the fact that Jesus was probably not born doesn't bother me either.
...the energy that might be stored in this way could potentially run a car for miles. The possibilities are endless, Barnes said.
Awesome, I have yet to travel miles by car.
But isn't science ultimately used to produce facts? Such as the percentage of water covering our planets surface?

Well if they win they will surely counter sue for all the costs.

Great, but do we really need a new linux forum?

Houston -- we have a problem.
And then there was silence.
Now it's no harder than flushing your toilet.
There fixed it for you.
