  1. Re:Atheism. on Einstein Letter Goes on Sale · · Score: 1

    Disbelife in Santa Claus, trolls under bridges and the Tooth Fairy is not generally considered religions.
    Since various definitions of the term "religion" exists, we will probably not agree on it
    - and your mentioning of the tooth fairy suggests a biased view on the term ;-)

    I will however quote the first sentence on Wikipedia:
    "A religion is a set of beliefs and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, and religious law." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion

    A religion does not have to have a deity.
    Therefore believing that god(s) does not exist is in my opinion as much a religion as e.g. Buddhism.

    But I do agree that most people do think of atheism as a non-religion.
  2. Atheism. on Einstein Letter Goes on Sale · · Score: 1

    IMHO the fastest growing religion these days is atheism.

    Even though most atheists will hardly claim that it is not a religion :-)

  3. AAUSAT-II on India Launches 10 Satellites At Once · · Score: 4, Informative

    One of the satellites is made by students at Aalborg University.

    You can follow the status here:

  4. Ubuntu is build on Debian on Study Reports On Debian Governance, Social Organization · · Score: 2, Informative

    having used both extensively, I'd say they're remarkably similar, though in debian you do have to do a few more things manually. That is probably Debian is "the rock upon which Ubuntu is built". http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/debian
  5. GratisDNS.dk on ICANN Moves Against GoDaddy Domain Lockdowns · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you speak (or at least understand some) danish, I will highly recommend http://gratisdns.dk/

    It is free to move your domain to and use their DNS servers, and you get full control of the DNS records.

    If you want to register a new domain, the prices are very fair.

  6. Not about the code on NYC Lawyers Subpoena Code · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The headline is bad.

    To quote the summary (which surprisingly fits TFA):
    "release the content of messages exchanged on the service"

    This is not about the code used to send the text messages, but the messages themselves.

  7. Re:"Invalid HTML" icon on Microsoft Confirms IE8 Has 3 Render Modes · · Score: 1

    I think what you are looking for might be solved with this plugin for Firefox.

    Quote:
    "HTML Validator is a Mozilla extension that adds HTML validation inside Firefox and Mozilla. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of an icon in the status bar when browsing. The details of the errors are seen when looking the HTML source of the page."

  8. Background information on Official 700MHz Bidder List · · Score: 2, Informative
  9. Oblig. Simpsons quote on Where Do the Laws of Nature Come From? · · Score: 1

    In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

  10. Barney Gumble on British Village Requests Removal From GPS Maps · · Score: 1

    At first I read the village name as Barney Gumble.

    What a great theme for a village - maybe that is where I should spend my next vacation ;-)

  11. Why? on GCC Compiler Finally Supplanted by PCC? · · Score: 1

    Someone please elaborate. What makes this C compiler better than the one in GCC? (I am not asking about licensing issues)

  12. Truly free license: WTFPL on Richard Stallman Proclaims Don't Follow Linus Torvalds · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why do we still have this battle of which license is most free? The only truly free license is the WTFPL:
