In a more enlightened atheist society this would never happen!
Only according to a typically immoral, decadent liberal. In a socialist society, both men and women will have respectable employment and not turn to work in pornography to make a living. The reification of private intimacy to marketed commodity is the very height of alienation; on the other hand, it still exists outside the market as a homemade expression of individualist nihilism, the consistent self-indulgent stamp of the culture industry that has appropriated and homogenized everything in its contact. Sex is replaced with watching sex. Social bonds break down as partners become as interchangeable as the URL in the browser. It is the another illegitimacy in the wake of Enlightenment subjective rationality: that only the method by which free speech is achieved may be debated, while the objective remains as a dictator.
Not to suggest that China has much communist credibility remaining these days...
My grandmother, a Southern Baptist, It's amazing that so few people who profess to be Christians miss the whole point of their own religion
It's interesting that the Southern Baptist denomination still exists, considering the whole point of their split with the other Baptists was that the Southern Baptists wanted slavery to continue. Nobody should be surprised they continue to have profoundly backwards beliefs to this very day.
Because the Soviets didn't create those Mujahideen; it was the American response to the Soviet intervention to remove an incompetent and dangerous head-of-state next door (Amin). The backwards people in the hills wouldn't have amounted to anything the Red Army couldn't deal with if they hadn't trucked in foreign radicals to do the serious fighting, which wouldn't have happened without the CIA collaborators in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
That's not the only reason they blew up the statues. They did the final deed after being insulted that they were offered money for the statues but not to fix their crumbling country.
When the Afghani head council asked them to provide the money to feed the children instead of fixing the statues, they refused and said, 'No, the money is just for the statues, not for the children'. Herein, they made the decision to destroy the statues
And don't forget that before the CIA created the Afghan Mujahideen 30 years ago, Afghanistan was a normal society with things like education, electricity, sanitation and equal rights for women (at least in the urban areas). Now those cities and the infrastructure that supported them have been bombed beyond recognition. But of course, none of that matters nearly as much as anticommunism and counterterrorism.
Then offer him a website if you really like the project and have the knowhow. Different people have their own skills and concerns, and his main interest is running the smoker rather than taking the effort to maintain a website on the project (which can easily turn into a big project itself).
It's terrible that people actually died as a result of shoddy programming but I am not surprised.
People were going to die either way; this is the military we're talking about. Seems better that an invader should die than someone defending his home, doesn't it?
The open source driver won't catch up; the open source drivers have never even come near to the closed drivers in 3D performance. They're for people who want to always use the latest kernel without worrying about incompatibility.
I don't think the concern is that the new FF version will break it, but that when they encounter the inevitable bug, support will be refused because they are using an unsupported version.
Is Australia really so fortunate that the users have the ability to switch? In many cities here in the USA, you've got unimpressive cable internet and if you're in the right spot, even worse DSL as an option. I've always been under the impression that people in the rest of the anglophone world were trapped in similar situations.
If you got one in the last month or two, you'll notice that the cable connects in a different spot now, so it's far less susceptible to breaking off. Even before, it was much less troublesome than having the whole barrel connector snap off inside your Dell! Nothing like the nervous feeling of soldering on a laptop.
Gallileos... did more to our progress as humans than all the bible thumpers together
Remember that shortly before Galileo the monks were just about the only literate persons and wrote all of the literature in their time. The church was huge and its right hand often offered a blessing while the left destroyed. It was part of a larger social order that by constant warfare between tiny states (among other savage means) prevented anyone else from gaining education, be it accidental or intentional. Of course, the world isn't arranged by feudalism anymore and its last remnants (the church, monarchy) are only influential in the most backward places.

Netflix doesn't have any serious competition,
Read a book, cretin.
go fuck yourself

Since the politicians managed to antagonize nearly all net activists
Now they really need to watch out! Somebody might start an online petition

They would probably also help in building concentration camps if enough money was in it.
IBM is always ahead of the competition...

Sounds like a problem with Nokia's plugin, not WebCL itself.
No problem! The Android SDK is in the repository for every major distro. Just push out the ROM, and reboot into recovery and flash it.

Why are they broadcasting country music into space??
It's not at all worthless. I come in well below 2 gigs (like most users), but I'd certainly love to have web pages and maps load more quickly.

This would be useful for a window that has the sun shining directly into it during the morning or afternoon; you only need so much light coming in!
yes let's mourn for the executives
Leftover imperial hubris.
They started distributing it on gog.com fairly recently, so yeah they are still getting money for it.
