I would not consider Sanders on the moderate right, rather in the center-left (but he's honest and has a spine, that's why he stands out that much, especially amongst centrists).
But yes Stalin is definitely right-wing, can't you see how he destroyed the Russian revolution and many others?
Yeah, I'm not good enough at fundamental physics to understand what is valid in the multi-dimensional proton he introduces, but globally the book felt like a lot of very interesting ideas clumsily assembled together...
I only read the first book though, and the translation may have lost part of the wonder.
Strangely enough for a book that is so political and in a country with such a history, the author seems to have very naive assumptions too about how a conspiracy works...
If you're talking about "I you were a dinosaur", I really liked it, and I don't care much for transgender issues...
Sure, it wouldn't have been published by Hugo Gernsback, but it's definitively worthy of New Worlds for example - and less esoteric that some of what was published in the 70's.
I don't think the solution is to get everyone to move to a particular new platform, but to devise a way where people on different platforms can connect to their whole audience.
I obviously know the name of the disease but won't disclose it since it's family I'm talking about, not publicly available information.
You're absolutely free to call bullshit though, I was just trying to help.
That is definitely not true for modern vaccines.
I have family that used to work on the marketing side of one of these fancy new vaccines for those rare diseases and I can assure you that the company they were working for is not a charity...
Plus, I did check what I could of the science behind it (disclaimer: I have a scientific formation, but am not a medical doctor) and the choice of vaccination was for the least controversial; apparently it did not bring better results than early diagnostic by a simple test done annually on at-risk patients.
But nothing on the other ways of dealing with that disease than vaccination ever surfaced in the marketing argumentation towards health professionals made by this company, marketing which was more about fear-mongering concerning this disease and praise about the new vaccine.
ProtonMail asks for a cellphone number "to verify that you are not a bot": since there are other ways to verify that, the whole thing seems a tad sketchy to me...
This is 95% of MS home users. These people should all have Windows Update on at all times and what's more, they could care less about the crap that Microsoft packages in along the way.
False analogy...
Newton tried to observe the world and deduce how it works from his (and others) observations. And so did the scientists that followed, how mistaken they might have been at a point or another.
Aristotelician science was deducing how the world works from how it should work (and yes, "God doesn't play dice" is part of that tradition, note though that Einstein did not use that phrase to demonstrate that quantum mechanics was wrong, just that he felt that it had to be wrong somehow). While obviously they had to include some actual observations into their conceptions, still it's philosophy, not science.
Actually, Galileo's answer about some of his thought experiences that he needed not to carry them in the real world, as he already know the result, is vastly anti-scientific too... which is an argument on how he helped invented the scientific method (namely, if he invented it, it didn't entirely exist at his time).
It's not about film, it's about the movie experience.
As Godard says, "La télévision fabrique de l'oubli. Le cinéma fabrique des souvenirs."
He may be right or wrong, but there's a full theory about how movies are different from television (the line may be blurred by home cinema, though), so there are some rationals behind a decision to keep them separate at a film festival.
The US was really big on foreign covert action in the 50's, and it took the bay of pigs to make people realize that there were ways that things could go horribly wrong.
It's a bit far-fetched, but apparently the CIA operations of the time went MUCH wronger than that: we have the AIDS epidemic to thank them for!
From Nuno Faria's epidemiologic work, it seems that the worldwide spread of AIDS came from the Haitian volunteers to Congo who had to come back home after the CIA crushed the democratically-elected Lumumba government...
To be fair, the church is unable to stop embryonic research, they might do it if they get the power to.
To be even fairer, they are not very uncomfortable with it because of the scientific part of it (they do not consider "unfaithful" to try to understand how embryonic development work) but because of the actual actions that are taken (they consider embryonic cells as "human beings in development" and so consider that these should not be treated as raw material), which is sort of a rational position if the premises are accepted - and there is no rational answer to "when does an embryo becomes a human being", everybody has to make up his own stance on it (and to quote an atheist scientific, Claude Levi-Strauss, "I'd rather accept the humanity of a stone than deny it to any human being").
It's worse than that: married Catholic priests do exist, and there is no problem with that, but only in the Maronit rite (which is fully integrated in the Catholic church, they are just allowed to keep their own rite instead of the Roman one, for political reasons: this was done to take them away from Orthodoxy).
Though Catholic priests of the Maronite rite cannot marry either, to be entirely honest: they are ordinated already married, those who did not marry before ordination will never marry.
So the hypocrisy is complete: it's not against any theological belief (I mean, not only is it not against the Gospel as you pointed out, but it's not against any theological belief of the Catholic church itself, since they consider it okay for the Maronite rite) for a Catholic priest to be married, but it's still not allowed in the Roman rite, with all the consequences you pointed, because reasons - or maybe because rite trumps theology?
They are either so woefully ignorant of all aspects related to technology that they are similar to an orangutang performing brain surgery, or they are attempting to criminally line their pockets.

I'm getting used to MATE since I switched from Cinnamon (beautiful, but heavy on the system) some weeks ago, but the default settings are really ugly and I have trouble finding a good theme to replace it...
I use Black which has some good things in it, but on slashdot textboxes (like where I type this message) the text appears white on white, so it's really not practical.
What would be the best UI settings to use then?

Well, if they had more time they could use it to think, and we couldn't allow that (cough cough television)...

Interesting, but you miss the irony here: Trump just called other world leaders on their hypocrisy, that's where the outrage comes from...
This is 95% of MS home users. These people should all have Windows Update on at all times and what's more, they could care less about the crap that Microsoft packages in along the way.
Or they should not have Windows at all...
and the only way to avoid having your PC pwned is to not have a PC in the first place.
Or not to use Windows...

Doesn't this means that Secure Boot as much as UEFI is moot now and that only Coreboot or Libreboot have any legitimacy on a computer?
