It does, because the goal of the Nazis was not to decrease the population, it was to actually increase it.
It depends. They sterilized groups based on many criteria.
They even had lots of projects going on to promote childbirth like the Mother cross and the Lebensborn. Their zeal was to have as many as possible healthy (from a racist point of view) and fertile children, and they wanted to reduce all the unproductive and sick (again from a racist point of view) offspring to make room for the alleged super race.
Notice how many heat records have been recorded since 2000, and how most cold records are much older.
Yet, everybody agrees that earth has been cooling down since around 2000.
By the way, single list doesn't help, we need a graph with evolution and trends, which this link isn't giving. Also, what this list shows (by a quick read) is that there's a lot more abnormal warm events in the northern hemisphere, which isn't surprising (the north has been warmer when the south has been cooler over this last decade).
Last, you've talked about ONE event and I didn't agree, and now you're talking about a bunch of them, with a global view of earth. This is totally different, and I may start to agree if you go on the wide scale thing, with multiple years results. Know what I mean?
I'm not. I'm just talking about the biggest eugenic case of the history of mankind because we're talking about it, please don't serve be the godwin point on this case, it just doesn't apply.
Please don't make assemption based on your FEELINGS. That's what we get on the news each time there's a weather event, and it's not at all a scientific way to understand the issue.
No! Climate is not related to local weather event, it has never worked this way, and it never will. Yet, each time there's a weather event these days, people blame it on global warming. EACH SINGLE FUCKING TIME. I even heard or read many times this when it was too cold.
It's more appropriate to say "It's almost all US" at this point. China, having produced less CO2 in the past decades but now producing more, has only just started to catch up. It's got a long way to go.
Right. And don't forget to compare population size too (to get a 5 times factor)!!!
Why do people always think that reducing the population requires some sort of genocide? You realize it's also possible to just have a birthrate below replacement level?
Do you mean like the Germans before and during 2nd world war? Or like in Communist China? Or that movement of Eugenicists in the beginning of the 20th century were they believed non-smart people should be sterilized? Or maybe you agree to put poison in the water to increase miss-carriage? There's not so many ways, and most have been tried already. Take your pick...
My pick: allow development in poorer countries, so that growth reduces by people will and conditions.
First of all, that's bullshit. There are some IPv6 only services (google for it if you don't trust me). Then, having so many IPs at home for your own use *IS* convenient. I have my wife's laptop IPv6 in my/etc/hosts, so when she need, I can ssh from work to her laptop, and do apt-get dist-upgrade for example. Yes, I know, I could have also setup a port forwarding on my router, but why should I remember the port and all? It's just more convenient to just ssh the standard port isn't it?
Yeah, and by the way, Apple owns a patent on toasters that "realize that the toast is burning", so you can't make one (even though Apple didn't release the iToaster yet).
Addresses are a commodity, to be leased for a profit.
That's what many ISP and hosts are trying to let you believe. In reality, when you get your IPs from APNIC / ARIN / RIPE, that's not the way it works. You wouldn't pay more if you were needing more IPs.
No longer, the target for 12.04 is 750MB. Too big for a CD, small enough for a 1GB USB stick.
Can't 750MB CD be burn? I through that was ok with a bit of over-burning. If not, then why 750 and not 999MB (so your 1GB would argument makes sense then)?
Well, Java (from Sun/Oracle) got recently dropped from Debian in the favor of (by the way really free) alternatives (if I'm not mistaking, because of security issues not being addressed properly). Are you sure of what's going to happen in Ubuntu?
If you need upgrades without reinstall, Debian is famous for being good with that. I have few friends that started to use Debian Potato (that is v2.2, released in August 2000), and went all the way: potato -> woody -> sarge -> etch -> leeny -> squeeze. I'm talking about a real Desktop usage here, not just installing the old version to try if upgrading works...
If you want to try LXDE, then I don't think you should use Mint or Debian stable (remember: Mint is based on Stable). The latest version in testing has lots of new features that you may want to have. Just give a try to Wheezy...
It all depends. Over here (Shanghai), street value would probably be less than the $2.48 in the first place (and depends on how long you agree to spend bargaining for a better price). And by the way, I don't think shipping would be free if it was CD or DVDs that you'd be buying, so it's a very silly argument.
If I can find a bug in the network code in your hypervisor that allows the virtual machines to communicate with the real networks
Then you need to be root to start a new network driver module...
You simply don't understand security, sorry, its unlikely I could teach you enough to make it clear anytime in the near future.
Thanks, but I don't need a teacher. Your condescending tone is quite impolite by the way.
I can safely say this because you seem to think that the fact that you are unaware of current root exploits that they don't exist.
NO! I've been asking for past security exploit that have (not) been found for Xen, in order to be able to compare the kernel exploits and the one in Xen. OF COURSE, you just tell in reply that you can't show me... Easy enough...
I don't understand why you keep bringing up SONAME when I mention hard links.
Because thanks to the SONAME mechanism, your hardlink idea is useless. You just load whatever SONAME you need, and that's enough to know what library to load.
The point when most stuff becomes open source comes when there's no money to be made by keeping it closed source.
I'd rather say that sometimes, it makes more sense to be open source, and it can sometimes even generate more money. It's especially interesting to see projects starting with an open core, then deciding to release everything (see Xen for example...).
The Microsoft monopoly on OSes forced Linus to write his for free.
When Linus made one of his first presentation, he said that proprietary Unix were so expensive, that it takes less money to write one than to buy it. What motivated Linus wasn't Microsoft, but other Unix, and especially Minix.
If someone had said, "Linus, here's a lot of money for writing our next proprietary kernel", I suspect instead of Linux, we would have had to wait for the next guy who wanted to write his own kernel so bad he'd even do it for free.
We would then all be running Hurd, FreeBSD or Minix.
How much better would it be to write your own kernel and get rich at the same time?
Well, Linus got rich...
Eventually, even for free or low cost, open source projects can catch up to teams of paid developers, but only if those developers stop innovating.
I don't believe so. Also, it's plain false, today, to think that open source isn't ALSO driven by money. Many big projects are (and some aren't). I'd be very careful with all these generalities, because the open source world is full of exceptions.

Google for "resource based economy" and you will learn a lot.

How isn't this eugenics?

These aren't fantasies. I have to advise you to (re-)open your history book, and maybe as well read "Ecoscience".
It was 71 degrees the other day on November 1st.
We're talking about climate, not weather (events). You're off-topic dude...
Capitalism is all but resource based!!!
It's more appropriate to say "It's almost all US" at this point. China, having produced less CO2 in the past decades but now producing more, has only just started to catch up. It's got a long way to go.

Simple:
ifconfig eth0 add YOUR-IP-V4 netmask A-NETMASK
But that's a bit retarded. You should use "ip" and not "ifconfig" (and shame on me, I never remember the syntax of "ip").
Yeah, and by the way, Apple owns a patent on toasters that "realize that the toast is burning", so you can't make one (even though Apple didn't release the iToaster yet).
Addresses are a commodity, to be leased for a profit.

That's reverse thinking. If you need a firewall, setup a firewall, don't setup NAT instead.

Oracle is OK (Java)
Well, Java (from Sun/Oracle) got recently dropped from Debian in the favor of (by the way really free) alternatives (if I'm not mistaking, because of security issues not being addressed properly). Are you sure of what's going to happen in Ubuntu?

Yes MiNT rox: http://sparemint.atariforge.net/ I'm happy finally, people are going back to Atari computers.

And by the way, I don't think shipping would be free if it was CD or DVDs that you'd be buying, so it's a very silly argument.
Because Fuck You, thats why.
