To anyone who believes in a religion, your belief is just as nutty as theirs is to you. You seem to be saying that no one should believe in anything unless they agree with you. Your logic will be consistent as soon as you concede your opinion that all religions are "made up" is just as unfounded as the religions about which you claim this.
You are erroneously assume that believing in something holds an equal truthvalue compared to simply not believing in something, and that not believing necessitates a belief. And is it is very commonly coached among religious to perpetuate this false dichotomy.
Also, not telling you children once a week to believe in X, is not the same thing as telling your children not to believe in X, nor telling your children to believe in X.
Get it? It is even logically consistent.
To reiterate my point, anyone who believes and then doesn't respect the wishes of someone else who believes, (and it doesn't matter if the belief is made up, or if the person i crazy and thinks he's Napoleon) deserves no freedom of religion, and is just a lame hypocrite.
Or actually, that is exactly what every religion thinks; that their made up stories, rules, hats and dietary needs are somehow special and real. Well you can't have it both ways. Either concede that your own religion is made up, or respect the nutty wishes of every nut job out there who believes in anything, or else you deserve no freedom of religion.
If you angle the sail of the spacecraft, you will get a reduced thrust away from the sun, and a force in the horizontal direction (perpendicular to the radius vector). Canting the sail will bump the s/c side to side, and will reduce the thrust, but you can ONLY reduce thrust to Zero! You can't go negative. No braking thrust. ONLY if you "luff" the sail, parallel to the solar wind, will the thrust drop to zero, but then you are coasting UP the gravity well. By that time, you are probably past escape velocity, and will not be seen again. And remember, you didn't remove the initial orbital velocity of Earth, so you 'climb' is really a slowly-increasing spiral. At that distance, adding 10% to your velocity is escape velocity (at earth radius, V0 * sqrt(2)... 41% increase is escape, less farther out.)
disclosure: I'm a degreed aerospace engineer and accomplished sailor.
Of course you can slow down. Remember Kepler, the guy who figured out that orbits are ellipses? Angle the sail perpendicular to the orbit on the half of the orbit when the sail is moving towards the sun, this will give you a net braking thrust. On the other half of the orbit, when the sail is moving away from the sun, angle the sail perpendicular to the sun so you get zero thrust. I.e. slow down when going towards the sun and just coast while moving away.

Did you read the link above? The wiki page specifically says that UFS also is called FFS, but anyway, there are tons of UFS:es and the one he should use is -txenix and nothing else.
Here is how science works: Observe, make a hypothesis, test it.
What are you trying to prove here?
I am trying to disprove "CO2 is harmless to humans blaha blaha". I am a scientist and my theory (it's not even a hypothesis) is that CO2 causes global warming. I present to you, Venus, which proves that CO2 causes global warming. Above that, it is also a fact that humans have raised the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. I.e. we are causing this. To deny it means you are an idiot.
Now, in regard to Mars, I say burn all the oil you want there. The only way to make it habitable is to terraform the shit out of it. So the warming of Mars should be manmade, it just isn't right now.
Carbon dioxide is "essentially harmless" to human beings and good for plants. So now will you stop worrying about global warming?...
The original version of the bill dismissed climate science as a "well organised and ongoing effort to manipulate and incorporate "tricks" related to global temperature data in order to produce a global warming outcome".
To all lawmakers in Utah: You are idiots!
Just look at fucking Venus! Explain how green house gases haven't heated that planet so it is now so hot you can melt lead on the surface, i.e. 460 C, which is 40 C hotter than Mercury, even though Venus only gets 25% of the irradiation from the Sun compared to Mercury. And what is the atmosphere made of? COfucking2! These are facts! Anyone who denies these facts is firstly a wanker, secondly an ignorant idiot, thirdly should be publicly mocked and ridiculed.
What you are saying is just as stupid as saying the world is flat.
With 30 percent larger brains than ours now, we can readily calculate that a population with a mean brain size of 1,750 cc would be expected to have an average IQ of 149,'
Hey dude!
You don't really need 1,750 cc. I have a smaller brain than that and they stopped measuring my IQ around 165.
For a moment of clarity, go look at the size of Einstein's brain. It wasn't that big. It still rocked.
Fuck you DRM! You SUCK! The written word is to important to be censored!
For God's sake, fixed that for you. In this of all statements.
In my sincerest depths, thank you sir! I though, in my silly mind that slashdot would censor me, even though I am writing this form Sweden, a supposedly free country. The Chilling Effect of your american new speak forced me to change my original FUCK to a lame fsck in order to evade the imaginary digital censors. For this enlightenment, I thank thee.
I do not however need to get your god into this. I'm not a slave to a god who doesn't fucking exist.
There is something special about old books...Fsck you DRM! You SUCK! The written word is to important to be censored!
The passage of time censors old books more more than DRM. How many physical originals of your prized first edition of Feynman Lecture on Physics volume 2 still exist? Yet, within a matter of seconds, I was able to find a digital copy.
Digital allows the written word to live forever.
Tons. Paper doesn't degrade that quickly you know. Some may be thrown away, sure, but a lot of them are just lost by being in someone's bookshelf, or some random box of old books somewhere.
The whole concept of buying a book is totally different from renting a DRM digital copy. I love the fact that,my oldest book is from 1954 and I was born in 1976. That is a lot older than the first bits I own. I do have a copy of 2.11 BSD, which I have simulated, a copy of Unix version 7, which I haven't simulated and an old ½" tape of some unix, probably System III for 32 bit VAX which I don't have any hardware to read. SHIT I have immense problems justtrying to use my old C64 and Amiga programs I did as a kid.......... but it is no surprise I can easily read all my letters from classmates from the same time.
Don't get me wrong, I love Project Gutenberg. But to this date, it hasn't given me the same preservation factor as in owning old books and keeping my old letters and drawings and notebooks. And I really, really, really try to save my old digital bits, but it's really fuucking hard. My old 5½" floppies probably aren't readable anymore.
So, to sum it up. I have digital bits from the late 70s, and printed stuff from the 50's, and my aunt has my granddad's diaries and he was born in 1896 so that kinda kicks the buttt out of your DRM:ed works.
When you own a book, it's yours to read. Digital distribution is the future, and DRM implemented properly isn't a bad thing. I'll take a cheap digital copy over a bulky, inconvenient physical copy that I can sell or give away any day.
And I won't! Part of the fun with owning books is the fact that you own them. I've bought childrens books that I'll never read myself, but they were some of my fav books when I was an infant, and if I ever get kids I will read them to them, and they will be theirs.
On top of that one of my prize books in the shelf is a first edition of Feynman Lecture on Physics volume 2, originally owned by a student named Marcley. If you know him let me know. There is something special about old books. Sure, some of them are very dated, but some are as fresh as a daisy, like Tensings old books about getting to the top of Mount Everest.
Fsck you DRM! You SUCK! The written word is to important to be censored!
Most of us are justifiably afraid of real terrorism. That's why it's called terrorism
Then stop being afraid! Terrorism isn't dangerous if you compare it to your normal daily lives, like going in a car. Or eating. Or breathing air. Or having breasts or a prostate.
So be afraid of those things instead. You can't justifiably be afraid of terrorism in the western world. The chance of getting getting killed is slim to none.
And I know. I've been to the top of the WTC, and I was in the building for an hour or so. And given that the towers fell when I was 25 that means that it was a 1/1 000 000 000 chance of me being killed. Was I afraid? No.
And my dad took the subway in London on the day they bombed. Was I afraid that he had gotten killed. Not really. I mean I called him later that night, but that was the extent of my worry,
What am I afraid of? Being in a car. My granddad's brother got smashed by a truck in his car. My dad's new wife was a widow because her late husband died in a car crash, and she was lucky she survived.
Be afraid of things you can justifiably be afraid of.
I wish I could moderate the article "-1 flamebait". A better term is "Western Liberal Democracy", that's all the good things that we all agree on, and yet isn't exclusive to a single country.
Why not call it French Democracy? Theirs is the model for the American one at least.
English is also not derived from Latin (although it does borrow a large amount of words from Latin.) Swedish and English actually come from the same language family (Germanic) and share a large number of words.
Not only that. A lot more English words than you think are borrowed from old Norse, the root of Swedish, Danish , Icelandic and Norwegian, and this because we Vikings invaded a thousand years ago.
Don't believe me, check out the etymology on the word window, which means eye to the wind. (Swedish has since borrowed the German word Fenster into the word fönster, but that is beside the point. Norwegian still uses vindue)
Think about that next time you see for instance Microsoft's trademark on a +1000 year old Norse word, vindauga.
Have you ever tried playing one steam game you own on one computer and at the same time play another steam game you own on another computer.
You must be what they call a hardcore gamer.
It's very simple really. My sister's boyfriend owns both Race07 and STCC, which is really the same game so during the Yule holiday we wanted to play against each other on two computers he had.
But alas, steam only lets you be logged in to one account on one computer at a time, not as you would logically think, only be allowed to play one copy of each game at a time.
So in the end we ended up taking turns doing time trials of Nordschleife.
It's only a restriction if you're a cheapskate thief. In other words, it's not actually a restriction by any sensible definition. You're surrounded by "restrictions" everywhere, but I don't hear you whining about how you're not allowed to kill people and run over schoolchildren and blah blah blah. Just shut up.
Have you ever tried playing one steam game you own on one computer and at the same time play another steam game you own on another computer. You would think that would be possible since you bought both games legally but no, that won't work at all.
So yes, it does restrict you in ways buying non DRMed games in a brick-and-mortar store does.
And you're done. Use the normal file handler after that.
Don't want to type in passwords? Use ssh-keygen and ssh-add. Don't wanna type in the mount line? Just put them all in a bash script and mount them all first time you log in. Or get the old ones with 'history | grep sshfs' and tun it by typing in the number in front of the command after an exclamation mark, like so: '!679'

Ok, that is the one I actually meant. The ancient Unix File System called FS, not Unix File System which is FFS. So many confusing implementations.
man mount shows you -txenix so try that if you dd the whole drive over a serial line.
Setting up UUCP on Xenix
Setting up UUCP on Linux
If you really want to try to read the disk it is probably UFS which you can read from Linux.
Hope this helps.

That's why the summary shouldn't have changed 52.22 kWh to 52.220 kWh.
If someone writes 52,000, they must mean 52000 since they clearly have rounded off to 2 significant numbers.
What would be the point in saying that it's now exact to 5 digits, but the last 3 are wrong? (they should be .22 and not .000)
You are clearly thinking about spoken language when what we have been discussing written language about facts of how good a battery is.
A 52,220 kWh battery is 1000 times better than a 52.22 kWh battery.
And when I say I'm using 1.000 mW or 1,000 MW of power, how much am I actually using.
These figures are clear when you _say_ "fifty two kilowatt-hours", but they are totally useless if you get it wrong when you are writing it wrong.
So be exact when it comes to numbers and figures.
I'm gonna go and call my mom and use 20,000 MW while I'm doing it.
