Wait, all those countries that are pro-US dictatorships are officially denoted as 'jolly nice strong leaders of their happy happy people so it's smooth sailing.
Here's a bit many of you missed since you didn't follow the link:
"credibly impersonates another actual person"
That's a notable word there, 'credibly'
Actually in the bible it specifies that as much as possible and as intact as possible of the body has to be buried. For that reason when there is a suicide attack in israel you see orthodox jews arrive to gather all bits of the victims to ensure compliance to the 'law of god'. And there are certain christian wings that either used to adhere or still do adhere to that biblical stipulation. But many christian forgot all about it though.
But even when not religious it's a freaking asshole thing to do and unlawful to boot, and there is the question why they would remove organs and bones and then destroy them, from workers in nuclear facilities.. you do the math.
How many unique ways are there to write a hello world program?
And the whole idea of programming is to use code examples, everybody does and is suppose to do that, even the biggest companies, in fact everybody including mayor distributors of SDK's and compilers andsoforth, they also create whole dedicated sites to providing plug-in example code for people to use.
That's what programing is, composing the parts into a whole and building on cleverness of the community.
So instead of being shocked at their own country's behavior, shown in real numbers, people here decide to drone the anti-china propaganda they were instructed to drone.
Proud moment.
Yeah we know china does censorship, but it's another country for most here, how about reacting on your own country and own elected officials doing it?
Ah, see here is where such voting systems fails, when people organize (and there are religious groups, christian and otherwise, who do purposefully search comments they feel harm their cause and attack them) they can simply 'mark' someone a troll or whatever nasty title by collectively getting their pals involved.
I say that because whatever you think of my original comment to call it trolling is obviously and clearly nonsense, you might disagree, might think it stupid, but trolling? Obviously not so, especially since I went from 'insightful' then after annoying the anti-atheist guy I'm marked 'troll'.
But that just underscores what's wrong with religion eh, as if it needed underscoring after already being printed in bright bold large letters;)
I'll keep it in mind though when dealing with the religious, thanks for the reminder.
I am familiar with the standard operational campaign and form-statements from the christian corner so I won't bother doing the standard reply, I'm sure you know those by now.
However I obviously believe, believe based on figures and observed trends mind you, that religion has a much stronger foothold on the uneducated and illiterate than on the educated people, and I use 'rational' in my post for a reason, one of which is to basically defuse the predictable US-christian boxed standard response, and although you gave such a response it's nonsensical in regards to my post.
I could say that you argue against education to help boost religion, but in reality you didn't really read or consider my post I'm sure, so to argue about your response would be silly.
Oh and also they use things like the face and nose because then CCTV can scan and recognize on-the-run without asking permission or stopping people and from a distance.
One of the first to use CCTV (security cams) facial recognition in europe was McDonald BTW, to alert them of unwanted troublemakers that tried to return.
They don't actually map the entire DNA of every person, even the british cops, they use some main markers, and those do actually sometimes double up, plus you can fake or spoil DNA very easily by using someone else's hair or spit or some such.
Unfortunately the CIA and such do often infiltrate/use (and even set up) such organizations to sneak into areas where they have trouble getting into, that's been documented and admitted on a few occasions. So in that light I cannot blame iran for being distrusting, and I tend to think they are frequently right, like in that case with those US 'hikers' in freaking iraq (what?) who 'accidentally' sneaked into iraq, that was as believable as, well, uhm, the bible or something I suppose, and I don't think any sane person did not raise an eyebrow on that story.
Most bases in germany have been closed now, and they were there for so long to help guard against invasion by the soviets not to suppress the germans or force the US views on them or collect empirical tax, like the romans basically did.
That doesn't take away the core of your thoughts though, I'm just correcting that error in an argument used.
And the romans of course introduced a lot of advancements in many areas they conquered, baths, aqueducts, roads, organization, and the US only seem to take care of themselves, so that's not very empire-like in comparison. There's a thought in many americans and politicians that the US is an empire though, and has some special right to push the rest of the world around, but in the US's defense you must say that many other countries encourage that thinking too by acting like it is true and being subservient to the US in the political arena (little joke there to use a familiar roman term 'arena').
" 'I think America has a responsibility to maintain its leadership in technology and its moral leadership"
Haha, The whole world knows america is morally bankrupt, and that a large part of the stuff NASA did was done using russian rockets for many many years now.
But that doesn't mean I think america should not try though, but perhaps moonmission can be put on the backburner, I don't know, the counterargument is that the moon has certain economical and practical potential rather than only expanding knowledge like probes do, the planned moon stuff was for 'building infrastructure to power the future', something obama likes to push back on earth.
In classical strict christianity it is taught that the body must be buried whole and unmutilated, and for that reason organdonorship is not allowed, and I'm guessing since that is a classical stand it originates in the old testament? and thus is a jewish orthodox view too, right?
Although you could argue a loophole that the the organ will later be buried 'properly' after the second users croaks:)
I incidentally hear some strict wings of people with such beliefs even want to keep the parts that might get amputated after an accident or something to be later buried with their body.
I think it's the duty of every government to encourage people to not be religious, because a government is suppose to represent rationality and push the advancement of the people, and to achieve such they should do things like encourage education and encourage people to think for themselves.
Unfortunately such governments do not exists so far, and as far as I know there are no movements towards achieving such a state of affairs, and it makes me pretty sad, to think millions of people are being led (or should I say supposedly led?) by people who believe in imaginary superbeings and such things, it is really astounding and depressing.
That people on slashdot are actually defending the behavior of the cops shows you how deep britain has sunk, I'm glad I'm not living there, what with all the expensive moving and finding a new country to stay.
You see the same idiocy in the case of similar nonsense in the US though, and many other countries, it's pretty widespread, and freaking shocking, but britain has collected enough points in my eyes to warrant seriously considering the big move-and-tearing-up-passport decision.
exFAT was adopted by the SD group as a standard for their super-high capacity SD cards, so that's covered already.
And also it's available as an update for Windows XP too.
If you make everything illegal then there is no 'right side of the law' to walk on anymore, I guess that's what they are going for then, quite the radical move.
Sylar's telekinesis is the one you have most issues with?
What about the guy that stops time...
Think what would happen, light would not reach your eyes, air would stop and you could not breath, it would also become equal to absolute zero for you, or would it since your own thermal energy could not dissipate, but then you instead would overheat. Plus the air would not get out of the way, thus locking you into position, the list of issues with that silly thing is just endless but in fact rather interesting if you try to think of it, you could go on for days.
And even the 'simple' thing of a guy that can fly, even if you think up some excuse for the possibility how come he doesn't freeze and faint due to lack of air.
And the speed thing, not only doesn't moving instantly at several times the speed of sound not ruffle their hair or heat them up or flatten them with the impact of the air, but it also doesn't cause a sonic bang or any kind of shockwave, and how convenient their reaction speed nicely speeds up too, going faster than a neuron can physically enervate actually, and the inertia, try going at 10 times the speed of sound and do a sharp turn and be unaffected.
Really you should not even try to link any physical laws to the 'heroes' universe, it's not scifi, it's and adult fairytale.

I'm all for such attacks myself, those 'elements of the market economy' do plenty of harm and are in dire need of some counter-force.
