Why would we need another java or flash? TFA is very sparse on details what is so much better about apollo and why that can't be done with flash or java. But their little project is doomed since people will tend to refuse downloading/installing new software unless the added value is clear. So unless they can generate a massive switchover from a lot of websites/developers to apollo, this technology is dead as a duck in the water.
You are just a jealous griefer. I am glad you are not part of the debian team, though unfortunately some people with the same attitude are, and if I were DPL, I'd make that past tense quick. Hopefully next release it will be a completely separate company that sponsors the release team so there will be less jealousy like this.
On the one hand MS tries to make life hard for the small time infringers (most of them), but on the other hand they still need to be number one of most infringed software, so there needs to be a backdoor. They need to be the most infringed because the infringers are the easiest turned customers. If there were no ways to get around MS licencing tricks, there would be no more potential new customers when the next release of Windos arrives. My Father decided to buy a fresh Vista licence after using illegal versions before. That lasted about 3 days, then he decided to switch to linux (no, it had something to do with a 64bit intel compiler that was beer-free on linux only).
Ah, I see you found your supply of straw to make your men. Please do not put my name on them before you set them alight? Indeed prejudice based on race is not the same as prejudice based on culture, hence the "borders on" instead of "is". But does the average Werner make this distinction when he says he hates Turks? In fact you are making this definition very narrow so you can justify your own racism/xenophobia. Besides, you only know your own culture, which is not the same in every european country. In my country for instance, prominent racist & xenophobic populists are routinely shot and we are very proud of it. Which leads me to wish you to meet your Volkert soon. So while you think that you know Turkish culture good enough to judge that they are too different from EU culture, you don't know much about the other cultures in the EU. That makes your judgement about other cultures worth nothing.
Bzzt, wrong answer! You have a very short fuse don't you? Bzzt, wrong answer! Why don't you talk about it with your therapist? Bzzt, wrong answer! So how many times did you actually beat someone to a bloody pulp? Bzzt, wrong answer! Well I'm so sorry I stepped on your uebersensitive EGO-dick. Bzzt, wrong answer!
That is backtracking. First they don't belong because of the armenian genocide, then it's because they have some nationalist laws. Mind you, I don't agree with those at all, but using that as an argument to block entry to an economic union is nonsense. And saying that your culture is better than another is bordering on racism indeed. Did you want to say that there is no nationalism in the current EU?
You are right on that point, Turkey (turkish gouvernment) is behaving very silly in this respect and it should stop this censorship of things that are 'anti turkish'. I doubt that their law directly states that it is illegal to call the armenian genocide just that, but they do have some silly laws that forbid you to insult the turkish culture, nation, or identity (or some bs like that). Sometime after some judge ( the gouvernment) decided that this included naming the Armenian genocide(committed before the turkish state was created) that. Still a fucked up situation, but not one that you can just correct without political repercussions (like legalising flagburning in the US).
Did you know that before Cyprus was to be admitted, it had to reunite with the other half and form one country. So a referendum was held in both parts. The turkish part had a large majority for reunion. The greek part rejected the reunion so both parts were not reunited and as such did not comply with the EU demands. Instead of not admitting Cyprus, they went ahead and admitted the greek part(the part that rejected reunion) anyway. So why again do you want Turkey to recognise that half-nation? Lets not forget that this is a proxy conflict between greece and turkey, both behaving very childish over an island not much bigger than the channel islands. Why it should be an independent nation is beyond me.
This argument is always abused when somebody wants to argue that turkey should not be part of the EU. As far as I know, the EU is most of all an economic union, this argument has no economic merit at all. 'They' can not own up their atrocities, as the 'they' that committed them are long dead and buried. Only if you have very oldfashioned morals you can think that a country (or people as turkey is not the ottoman empire) carries this guilt over the generations. Its mostly racism that motivates these 'Turkey not in EU' plebs.
Sorry, but if you had read the article, you would have noticed that one of the human traits that set us up for believing in religous nonsense, is the the tendency to see patterns and relations when they are not there. Any other comparison of modern day science with say the teachings in the Kama Sutra would be deemed absurd. So why should the bible be exempt, what makes the bible (a 3rd century compilation of various older religious tracts) so special, except that you 'believe' in it? But please remember the fine article was about why people are religious/tend to believe in a god, not whether or not your beliefs are equal to those of children believing in Santaclaus.
Leaving creation out of consideration does upset the church leadership So ff-ing what? religion is not science, the only overlap is that both try to give answers about the world. Religion uses invisible friends and all the nonsense humans can think of, science tries to come up with answers that are provable. should upset the scientific community who are finding a strong corrolation between the two accounts. Wrong. There are no 2 accounts, but billions of theories about creation. The smarter scientists who 'find a strong correlation between the 2 accounts' will know that correlation does not automatically make a causual relationship. Maybe the authors that wrote your big-bang creation story have heard that holy book story of yours too. Even if you don't believe in it, it is still part of your cultural influence. I suggest you read the F-ing article, it's quite an interesting read. But I don't expect that your tunnelvision will allow you to absorb new knowledge. You'll probably distort it in such a way that it fits your fairy tale image of the world.
The batteries used nowadays are LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries. The upside of these is that their WattHours/weight ratio is the highest available. The downside is that these batteries can get in a so called thermal runaway situation, where the chemicals in the battery more or less provide their own shortcircuit. As LiPos can deliver massive amounts of current, this quickly leads to the cell rupturing and venting hot flammable gasses. The heat from this reaction will set off the reaction in the other cells (usually there are multiples of 3 cells in the pack). This runaway condition can be triggered by faulty charging, piercing the aluminium outer layer, or just chance/manufacturing defects. Basically the chemistry of LiPo is asking for these kinds of problems. There is a much safer Lithium battery chemistry available (Lithium Sulfur-phosphate), but that has a lower watthours/weight ratio.
Gosh, an open fissure. So what would happen if some underwatervulcano heated a spot on the seafloor with a few degrees. What would happen to the density of this water? Stay there? In other words: if you heat a single spot of water on the seafloor the warmer water will rise up. These guys measured the unexpected rise in temperature on every dive. Lots of fissures maybe?
If you only vaccinate half of the population, you are sure to never wipe out the virus. So there will always be demand for this $400 shot until the patent expires and Merck patents a vaccine that covers those 4 virusses and 4 new ones. I wonder if this is what Merck intended when they were lobbying for it. It wouold be much more cost effective if a) the vaccine was sold at the true marginal cost and b) the gouvernment would vaccinate everybody under 40. The coverage woould be so much wider that those few percent religio-fanatics that object to it would not matter too much.
Especially if kids did everything their parents, teachers, priests, etc... would tell them, they would end up pretty quickly with an STD. Courtesy of all those men that won't resist the temptation of an hot submissive 16yo. There is no way you can ban sexuality for the human race, we'd be extinct in one generation.
He has to be transformed into a 6 year old, bound, and placed in the darkroom adjacent to the annual peadophiles convention. Or some fat chick should seduce him to make naked pictures of himself, photoshop some kiddie stuff in and post them around his neighborhood. Make him feel how wrong vigilante behaviour is.
So you mean that if you have not heard of it you don't need to know? What about posting the next item about some french software in french? If yo can't read it you don't need to know that either. Both are pretty annoying.
So basically you are saying that you have no experience with apt+ a gui for it? You might think that having your granny click on some file is the simplest thing possible, but that leaves out the complications how to get that file on your grannies computer. How can she recieve updates for it? How will dependencies be resolved for it? The windows way is not an end-all for software management. In fact, it is one of the worst solutions. Part of this stems from the fact that there are so many different providers that do not allow being distributed from a repository. Most software on linux does, which gives you a very big advantage to be able to create a repository with software that works just right with eachother. It's too bad that despite your Linux experience, you cannot see that advantage. That said, it would be cool if you could just send some type of link/scriptlett that made your apt-gui select for installation the current version from your preconfigured repository. Then you could send your granny a link that she could click on and click OK when the package manager asks her if she wants to install package XYZ and their dependencies libxyz and libsooperdooper. However, missing that functionality now does not weight up against all the advantages of a system that keeps all your software on your computer up to date without a problem. BTW: the granny argument is a bad argument as it treats users as if they were stupid. Do you like to be called stupid?
Man, that response was so uninformed, arrogant and dumb. I suspect some newbie manager type is now explaining to the PR department that his move really saved them a lot of money that was well worth losing face over. Right now the message reads: Cirrus products will not support Linux. There, let google lap it up. Lets hope for Lennert that someone higherup the chain will intervene, otherwise he will need to find a new subject to play with.
And like all farming, it has a serious impact on the environment. But we have a pretty massive impact on the environment now anyway, in a way that is not sustainable. So if this ocean farming technique harms part of the ocean, you have to balance that with the benefits of sustainable fuel production. And like all farming, there are enough handles to measure and tweak the amount of added nutrients to minimise adverse effects. And lastly: it is the whole environment that gets extra nutrients, so the whole food chain will potentially profit from it.
