Budda is right about everything, say bad things about budda then you get bad things happen to you / be reincarnated as a worm / or the worse; you go to hell.
Sure, there is a lot of differences with the rest of it however the basics are exactly the same as everything else.
But there still a large number of "my god is better than your god" nyah-nyahs whose idea of healthy debate is killing others who don't agree with them rather than thinking.
I doubt religion is the cause for this though. People kill each other over football matches as well as many other things. Getting rid of religion wouldn't solve this problem.
In a case of uncertainty, maybe, just maybe, we should bet on the safe side?
Please keep this line for Religion. Not Science.
What exactly is wrong with diminishing our emissions of CO2?
What exactly is wrong with keeping our emissions of CO2?
There's no right answer because no one knows. Maybe decreasing emissions will make things worse. There is no way to determine what's going to happen because we have only one Earth to test theories on.
So because SOME scientists aren't making their work transparent, all climate model forecasts are suspect?
My understanding is that it is extremely expensive to collect this data and that instead of collecting their own data many scientists reference the results from the paper that has been falsified. Since it's expensive to collect this data no one wants to share it. Perhaps it's because they don't want to get caught falsifying it too, who knows since no one can check.
So yes, any papers that base all their work from the original findings are irrelevant. I feel bad for the scientists who were duped by this and wasted time doing further research on it.
You're missing the point, if you have two candidates one being "a minority" or a white candidate who is much much better why should companies be forced to pick the candidate with lower skills simply to meet a quota?
What kind of impression do you think that leaves on co-workers when some guy is hired simply for being a different color? Do you seriously think that person will be respected in the company? No, he'll be seen as the "quota guy" and would only make things worse overall.
If someone thinks they were unfairly discriminated against then speak to a lawyer about it, quotas are unnecessary.
Not specifically directed at you however what I don't get is why people think these equal opportunity laws will help.
What's the government saying here? You are too stupid to get a job yourself so we're going to force companies to employ you over someone that can actually perform the job better thereby wasting the companies money.
That's exactly what happens. The patch is sent to in most cases a mailing list. People give feedback on the patch and it's rejected. The patch is reworked based on the feed back and then resubmitted.
What this guy is talking about is how static analysis finds more bugs then eye balls. Big deal, it takes just one guy to do that and attach a patch to correct them in an open source project and this happens often. People use programs such as valgrind to fix small memory leaks all the time.
The article fails to mention anything above security flaws. What about non-security flaws which static analysis can't pick up such as a dialog box popping up at the wrong time or a spelling mistake? Static analysis isn't the silver bullet that this salesman is trying to push on us. Yes, it should be included in the process of patch review however reviewing every change going into the repo is always going to beat proprietary methods of committing junk that barely runs and then just running a tool to find the places you screwed up.
There already is. It's called launchpad.net and it's free from:
- US software patent law - stupid DMCA take downs ala battle net emulator - this silly export law - sourceforge's adverts which take up 40% of the page
I don't know why anyone bothers using sourceforge anymore. It was great when it was the only solution but now there are MUCH better options. Especially now they're blocking non-US connections.
Where exactly in Europe are you talking about because it's the complete opposite in the UK where everyone gets a phone with their 1 or 2 year contract. Another person mentioned it is the same in Germany too. This would seem to invalidate your "everything in Europe claim".
The only place I know where people buy the Phone and then a contract is in my homeland of Thailand.
This is seems to be part of an agreement with the European space agency so it probably was money well spent.
Node-3 is part of the Columbus launch barter agreement with NASA under which ESA supplied two of the connecting nodes (Node-2 and -3) for the International Space Station (ISS) and additional high-technology laboratory equipment and services to NASA in return for launching Europe’s Columbus laboratory to the ISS in February 2008. Cupola is covered by a separate barter agreement in exchange of the launch and return of five ESA payloads by NASA.
It also wouldn't work without a GUI, the javascript engine, image loading/rendering libraries and c++ compiler.
The fact is they still made a web browser and licensed it under BSD. If you think it is so simple then why don't YOU make your own damn browser using WebKit.
Game publishers are simply greedy. Rental Model or Sales model pick one.
You want DRM, the right to restrict your customers from reselling their games, then pick a rental model where your customer pays X amount per time unit Y.
You want to make +$60 per game sale off your customers then get rid of the DRM and don't try to prevent your customers from reselling their games.
Don't mix the two because it isn't working and legit customers being driven away. If game publishers came up with a fair model then more customers would go through the official channels. Instead they're trying to rip customers off by selling them something for a lot of money which they don't own.
I personally prefer the rental model and here's why: - Game Publishers aren't going to change and will continue this BS anyway. - You're not putting down $60 just to find the game sucks. - The more you play the game the more money they make - They have more incentive to make games fun rather then BS you into buying something that sucks.
According to this article [unicef.org], the mortality rate for acute (!) cases in the U.S. was about 0.25% - 0.28%. Between 1993-1999, there was only one reported death.
This is very misleading because the "MMR vaccine causes autism" paper was released in 1998 so I very much expect that if you look at the numbers from 1998 to 2010 you'll find them to be much higher.
It's horrifying really. The risks of not taking the MMR jab and dying from Measles, Mumps or Rubella are very real and many children have died all over the world because of this one paper. However it get's worse. The crazies that are convinced that the MMR jab causes autism will continue to preach their garbage for many years to come. They'll convince even more parents to not protect their children and those kids will die too.
Dr Wakefield deserves more then just being struck down in the part he played. He didn't just release a paper. He actively went around telling people not to take this vaccine on national television. It's his actions that have killed so many children of completely preventable diseases.

So lets sum up here.
This kwaak3, something that runs on most android phones, works, is a game, something you can download right now...
That's less impressive then a youtube video of a game that, doesn't work on the iPhone 2G, 3G or ipod touches, doesn't have networking, etc ...
Why do I get the feeling you're shitting on this simply because it's not related to the iPhone?
Buddhism is no different from any other religion.

Set your boss's default homepage to http://www.crashie.com/
Which would put pressure on to admins to fix it...
This looks exactly like the Axioo's Pico. Is it done by the same company? Are these the factory rejects or something?

I didn't mention pirates in my post at all. Please read next time.
The worse part about this site is that they have recaptcha on it but verify the request in javascript.
Hence you can stick this request on your spam bot...
https://reporting.direct.gov.uk/bin/submitter.php?report_type=1&report_url=reporting.direct.gov.uk&report_desc=GeorgeOrwellWasRight
By that time everyone would be on IPv6 and their site won't work.. https://reporting.direct.gov.uk/bin/url_checker.php?url=ipv6.google.com
It also wouldn't work without a GUI, the javascript engine, image loading/rendering libraries and c++ compiler.
The fact is they still made a web browser and licensed it under BSD. If you think it is so simple then why don't YOU make your own damn browser using WebKit.
WebKit isn't a web browser. It is just a rendering engine so yes they did build a whole new browser.
So it's exactly the same as having to have a CD to run the game but more annoying because now I have more problems running the game. Sounds great...
ah, so the chapter thing is in the paid version only?
