  1. Really ? "Rigging" online poll is 4chan-101. Everybody does this...

  2. define "normal eating schedule" ? Last time I checked it was more "socially imposed eating schedule", nothing "normal" about it.

  3. by definition, it *is*, as "breakfast" is litterally the "breaking of the period of fast" :-/

  4. or as I mentioned previously, "religions" are just archetypes of human biology pattern, and science is struggling to re-discover what has been known for millennia.

  5. or you can assume that our body evolved mechanism to deal with the recurring lack of food and periods of fast might be where you are the sharpest. This would definitively be required to be able to find food. To the opposite, the constant influx of food is not "natural" to the body.

  6. It is not a "contract".

    the files are already available, you just need to know how to look.

  8. Slam fire shotgun made with sched 40 black pipe are perfectly safe. The powder load is pretty low and the bore does not offer much restriction.

    The right to bear arms is already limited because it's illegal to use it to kill people without a valid reason.

    That's bs, restriction happen either due to your age or after due-process.

    The interpretation of the 2nd amendment has been discussed over and over, and settled by the Supreme Court in Heller. Your interpretation is wrong.

    A 16 pack of Phillips 60W (8.5W actual) LED's costs $25.37 ($1.59 / Bulb) on Amazon.

    Probably some non-dimmable pieces of shit...

    In Europe, by the swiss, using surplus cheap nuclear power to pump water back in their dam and providing peak power at a premium when needed.

  13. Indians haven't been there since the beginning either. Early indians were migrants just as well.

  14. Bullshit, All property is acquired and/or inherited. Noboby is owed any property at birth, by default. To some extend, Civil Rights should be earned as well (by abiding to the Rule of Law and not thinking yourself to be above the law).

    That said, just like with the Endangered Species Act, the solution should probably have been to SSS as early as possible to avoid the plague to spread.

  15. I do not condone such nationalism either.

  16. We probably should have force them to assimilate thoroughly , it would have been less troublesome today.

  17. Actually, no. Identity politics and tribalism (quite literally) have no place in the US, and that's good thing.

    if only I could have enjoyed witnessing the spending of close to EUR50k of useless spending for no other sake than spending money to justify the next funding cycle...

  19. Depends. By your definition, being a criminal to get rent money would be acceptable. There is already a de-facto very limited percentage of actual "research" usable in the industry (I'm fairly sure that kernel gurus would technically destroy this patch pretty quickly), so there is no need to keep the SNR as low as currently done by the paper industry... if they really care about usable solutions, and real life practical results. That being said, the universities are living in a echo chamber...

  20. my point exactly, researchers are grant whores, beggars, never wasting an occasion to release a bs paper to get to keep their status, leading to a very low signal-to-noise ratio. (and yes, I did witness this first hands, on top of wasting money on useless crap just to safeguard their fundings... there is a lot of swamp draining needed)

  21. Don't publish a freaking paper, send a goddamn diff on the LKML, and we'll be able to comment. This PR-seeking behavior from researcher is pretty deplorable.

  22. I'm a porn addict, have been for the past 20 years, and it is the only reason I'm a software engineer today. Started with automating the clean-up of my "sessions" back in the day, and it continued over the past few years with either automated response bots on classifieds website, scrapping tools on hookup website, and lately, torrent federation. Porn and sex have been the driver of so much code !

    Anarchy itself would evolves to a form of totalitarianism. All human social interaction structure are hierarchical in nature and a variant of a D/s model, there is no mythical social structure where everybody (as in EVERYBODY) is equal.

    I can go shoot in the wood, own enough rifles / ammo to arms a small squad, read "Mein Kampf" without a silly "safety preamble", can read "Bagatelles pour un massacre", "L'Ecole des cadavres" and "Les Beaux draps", not be compelled by law to keep ID and have to identify to LEO without probable cause, don't have "state sanctionned historical truth".

    Ya, there is a "good side". [and "no", I'm not living in the US]
