If you really want to make explosives there's pleanty of solid chemistry books out there without the words "anarchist" or "bomb" in the title which will give you vastly better information.
Sure, but to read those books you must be able to understand words with more than five letters. And they don't have nice pictures
And if your friends see them in your room, they may think you're a nerd instead of admiring your cool revolutionary attitude
If it is, then it's a rather big one. This guy Robert A. Sungenis has a wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sungenis
and there is more like this if you follow the "External links" section.
And the book is sold on Amazon
At least some of them are already linked in Wiki. I just checked the article about John Searle's "Chinese Room" and it contains a link to Stanford Encyclopaedia's article by David Cole.
Ok, admitted, my first post wasn't a perfectly clear joke and maybe not the best I ever made. So let me apologize too, for letting this run a bit too far:)
I just thought, that my additional comments would have made it clear enough, that I decide about languages based on project demands.
I hated those fan discussions already back in the 80s (Commodore Atari; Pascal Basic C) whatsoever.
Actually one reason why I don't miss that Ruby on Rails Job that much (though I liked the framework plus the language for the kind of work we did) is just, that they where "fanbois" to the extreme in that company. Not only about RoR, but about everything they where using.
Anyway, no bad feelings, we just misunderstood each others writing style...
Forgive me, I just forgot that I'm on/. where you have to mark ironic comments as such, so that every moron understands the joke... here have some smilies, shove them where they feel good to you...
With the sentence:"We're talking "WebShop for beginners", not "Amazon" I already admitted, that RoR may not be the best solution for every task. Ok, it's slow, but there are cases where that doesn't matter at all. WebShop for beginners is such a case. You have somebody with no programming experience and he wants to setup a shop. Then PHP isn't the best choice, period.
There are many projects I wouldn't do in Ruby, but I have written several Webshops and similar webapps in RoR and performance never was a problem. (not even for an image database with several 100,000 images in it)
But since I'm not in webapps anymore I use C++ for my actual project, and don't miss Ruby or Rails...
"Because there's no copy and paste, if you do something wrong it takes time to go back and fix it," said Joe Gritton. "You cannot take out sections and move them around."
So they have to worry about bad interfaces and editors. You can do simple assembler programming on modern machines as well. And understanding C__ should give you a good deal of knowledge about the basics of a computer...
It's a rather complicated matter what is allowed and what not (and where and when). the word "Nazi" is allowed (as a kind of definition). Any kind of racist speech, text or slogans have to be removed (that's a criminal offense , game or not). There may be slight exceptions, if it's clearly "historical content" . But risky for a game company to rely on that (basically that law is about books and political propaganda, so it allows for historical books)
The fascist greeting gesture (arm stretched upright) can be shown in movies or games. Though doing this as a person in a public place in Germany can bring you serious trouble with the law.

Hmmm, Colin Powell must have read this before his speech to the United Nations...
Anyone can send what they want out the /. newswire for free...
No, Switzerland would lose too much Iranian customers doing something like that...
As for March 2010:

You could let people vote on the judgment as well. Broaden the juror base.

it will give you Hemolysis and survival of autologous red blood cells salvaged after cemented and uncemented total hip arthroplasty
Though sniffing martian organics could be an interesting experience. Spacing you totally out...
I only sniff powdered milk... At least the guy who sold it to me said it is... Is it normal to pay 50 bucks for powdered milk?
Same for the article about Alan Turing, you find te links under "References" or "External Links"

How about that: Make the planes remote controlled and then let people volunteer (or even pay for it) to fly them through a Flight Simulator interface.
And finally it shuts down the company servers...
(for the educational value)
At least they could have omitted the windows logo.
And why did they exchange the FF logo with the one from IE?

Take a seat, take a cookie... calm down...

webshop for beginners in PHP? Isn't this that language everybody forgot luckily, since we got Ruby on Rails?
right. and root access can fix everything...
don't you have some packages to pack?
I thought we had a patent on that here in the States. ;)
you have, here in Europe we have bootlegged retards. sue them ;)

not exactly. only certain symbols (the swastika, the ss runes) are illegal. game companies simply replace or remove them.
