Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is what I was doing.
I don't think what I meant came across:
You accuse people of the over-simplified viewpoint "good vs. evil" (of course, I agree that this is over-simplified), and you also just accused me of over-simplifying by using the word "hate." Yet you yourself resort to what is just as arguably an over-simplification: psychological egoism (the belief that humans are only motivated by self-interest). You present it as "reality," resorting to it in http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1357269&cid=29304575 ("We all fight for ourselves, and there is nothing strange about an organism doing this. By denying this you deny your very own existance and the chain of events which brought you here, from single cell organism to the child of your parents.") and in http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1357269&cid=29303997 ("In reality people are simply organisms looking for personal gain, and not only in monetary means. We are egoistic by nature, though we often keep a straight face, and when we think we aren't -- we still are."), and possibly others.
Claiming that ego is the only explanation for the full array of human behavior is just as hackneyed and over-simple (and naive and lazy?) as calling a corporation "evil," if you ask me. I hope you get what I'm saying.
I'm saying that dualism relies on the individual, and since individuals are vastly different so will the concept be. Thus the concept itself lack substance. Does this not make sense to you?
We all fight for ourselves, and there is nothing strange about an organism doing this. By denying this you deny your very own existance [sic] and the chain of events which brought you here, from single cell organism to the child of your parents. Don't be naive, and don't try to paint the world black and white with this nonsensical dualism.
Don't try to paint the world black and white with this nonsensical psychological egoism. It's a theory open to argument, and has seen criticism from multiple fronts for hundreds of years.
Also, there's no need to call your opponents lazy or naive--that's just rude.
I'm simply explaining the difference between fiction and reality.
This is a joke, right? Someone who hates dualism just said that?
I searched for "clock" in the paper on arxiv and got no results! The abstract there is more informative:
ABSTRACT Top-gated graphene transistors operating at high frequencies (GHz) have been fabricated and their characteristics analyzed. The measured intrinsic current gain shows an ideal 1/f frequency dependence, indicating an FET-like behavior for graphene transistors. The cutoff frequency f_T is found to be proportional to the dc transconductance g_m of the device, consistent with the relation f_T=g_m/(2piC_G). The peak f_T increases with a reduced gate length, and f_T as high as 26 GHz is measured for a graphene transistor with a gate length of 150 nm. The work represents a significant step towards the realization of graphene-based electronics for high-frequency applications.
The real reason they exist is to give the people who actually invent something some power of the people that run the mass produced it. In Ancient Rome or Sub Saharan Africa they didn't have that power. Ancient Rome and Sub Saharan Africa are not exactly examples of cultures that were noted for their artistic achievements. Maybe there is a link between these two things.
Is anyone else offended that Sub-Saharan Africa was just referred to as if it were a failed ancient civilization? You wanna bash on ancient Rome, that's another story, but can we leave geographical regions out of it?
Another side to the safety issue. I'm hoping this is a false positive, as I like OFF

No problem there.

gnash 0.8.4 is the third beta release of the GNU Flash movie player. If you're not satisfied with Adobe Flash, you could check gnash out.
And those who refuse will go right on the master list under "troublemaker/refusnik/something to hide/potential terrorist."
Or they might go on a list under "frugal" for saving $30.
I tried to follow your link: "The Websense category 'Militancy and Extremist' is filtered."
That's funny, every .mil domain for the US military I try works....
Liberty-lovers must be more militant and extremist than the US military. There's hope for us yet!
