Everyone seems to forget about Malcolm X and the Black Muslims. Surely those are a threat to the KKK, and therefore Islam is dangerous to the American Way Of Life(tm).
An end to tribal wars, and a tradition of law that does not depend on the mood-swings of some king, are not attributable to Islam, nor is the tradition of keeping knowledge alive and expanding on it by studying the old masters, using a common alphabet and language. Certainly these were not the intentions of the author of the Quran, who significantly and permanently changed the economic landscape of his home lands only to get laid.
The Rennessaince, which copied these concepts, replacing Arabian with Latin and Sharia with Roman Law, was of course contrary to Christian traditions, the contributions to science of which consisted mostly of copying the Bible over and over again. Only after the Rennessaince did Christianity install the Inquisition as an attempt at secular justice.
The Christian World did improve on the concepts considerably, however, and successfully, and even China has adopted them by now. And yet, religious believers of either confession are still more occupied with their contest over who has the more powerful imaginary friend, and the Islamic World has suffered degradation ever since the fanatic Wahabite sect got significant influence over Arabia at the behest of British and American oil companies.
Are you so sure that "western values" are that much better? There are far too many people in "western culture" promoting "western values" who sincerely believe that "western values" dictate an implicit Judeo-Christian underpinning to government and law, and that everyone else deserves to die, or at least be subjugated.
I think we need to coin the phrase "MODERN values"
I prefer "secular values". What "modern" means may change over time.
Government is not telling you you can't eat poison. The Government is telling you you can't sell poison disguised as food.
And when you fall ill through no fault of your own, wouldn't it be nice to have an economic safety net to tide you over until you recover? The more people participate, the cheaper it becomes for everyone.
How long until Firesheep implements something that detects a Blacksheep trap, and doesn't respond to it? Will Blacksheep then implement a detection detector?
Never. The purpose of Firesheep is to demonstrate the vulnerability of stupid websites. And Blacksheep does not protect from side-jacking at all, a black hat just needs to go through everything Firesheep captures and check which ones are fake. What Blacksheep does is warn you if someone tries to hijack your session, which fits with the original purpose of Firesheep, and probably does a better job than Sheepherder, at the expense of bandwidth. If you log out immediately it might minimize the damage a black hat could do, except for twitter, where logout is merely cosmetical - the session persists.
a Google competitor would provide the services with the blurring feature
Actually, a German company provides a kind of street view without blurring whatsoever, and has a playground search engine too, and people apparently like it. But when Google does it, it is somehow violation of privacy.
Correct. And furthermore, YouTube already has a mechanism to make Videos unavailable in certain countries upon request or for legal reasons.
I would have expected just that to happen: That upon request by the UK government, those videos will not be available to IP adresses from the UK. Instead, the UK requested the US to make that request.
By downloading a song, you are creating a new copy. If you are not given the right to do this, it is copyright infringement.
Correct me if I am wrong but if someone puts it on the net, I'd assume they want people to listen to it. And in order to be able to listen to it, one first needs to load it down. Permission thus is implicit, provided whoever put it up there had permission to do distribute it.
I thought Firesheep does not do MITM attacks via ARP poisoning, unlike another application for session hijacking. I thought all it required is that the NIC is put in promiscuous mode. That means, packets addressed to other machines are not thrown away, and can be read from user space. Firesheep logs session cookies, which are transmitted in the application layer, which has nothing to do with rings.
Not only are the lists of blocked sites not made public (except on WikiLeaks etc), they are compiled and assembled at the sole discretion of the police, with virtually no oversight by the government.
And in Italy, gamling on foreign web sites is officially blocked as well.
The blocks are easy to circumvent, though. Just change your DNS.
i have never seen anyone twist Maslow's hierarchy of needs to such an extent to support their personal agenda such as you have just done.
What is his personal agenda? All he did was point out that Maslow is wrong. I don't see evidence of any personal agenda whatsoever, except maybe on the part of Maslow himself.
I suppose you have never worked in a developing country, as you would then realize that your argument is without basis.
Except in reality. He also provided examples. From developing countries, no less.
A substantial proportion of humanity is without the personal power, education, and upward mobility needed to worry about lofty things such as social standing, ideology, or material gain. When someone is hungry, all they think about is where their next meal is coming from. This fact is true anywhere you look.
I didn't realize meals are immaterial, or availability thereof independent of social status. Maslow's pyramid scheme only serves the neo-conservative globalist agenda to remove the middle class.
The middle class in America is on the retreat and it is questionable whether it will rebound in the near future or not.
Liebig's Law of the Minimum is a far better model.
Meanwhile, socialist/communist China are making tremendous societal gains.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Your quote refers specifically to political speech, especially the right to criticize government, corporation, and personal behavior. A society demands limits on speech, or it degenerates into anarchy.
So it is no coincidence that the quote in question is from an anarchist originally.
Second, I don't care what the experts say, a kilogram is equal to the mass of one litre of water, which is equal to 1000 cubic centimetres of water, or a 10cm x 10cm x 10cm box full of water.
Does it have to be pure water, or can it have some impurities in it? What temperature is the water? What pressure? When you're trying to do especially delicate measurements, these details matter!
Pure water, at 4 degrees Celsius, at 1000 hectopascal.
I think it is also interesting that the Sidney Mourning Herald writes he was "the first person outside the US" to have bionic arms, and the Kleine Zeitung writes he was "the first person in the world" to have thought controlled arm protheses he could feel with.
I'd rather expect that if civilization collapses that high tech artifacts remain, but know-how is lost, rather than the other way around.
But that was not the point anyway. The point he tried to make was that even in the stone age, people could have had lightning fast long-distance communication.
What he did prove was that people in the iron age could have had batteries.
Either way, it has nothing to do with the collapse of anything, but rather about just how high-tech our cave-dwelling ancestors might have been.
These trolls are the ones who get people arguing with each other over things of no consequence, then laugh at them. You don't defeat them - if you begin to fight them, you have already lost. They do it for the lulz: Everyone has the right to make a fool of themselves, and trolls encourage people to claim their fifteen minutes.

I am shocked to learn from your post that China is extraterrestrial territory.
With anonymous edits, you get the IP and timedate.
With non-anonymous edits, you only get the username.
Using an account is preferable to vandals. This is why you see one of the usernames used for vandalism in TFS.

sign of a broken fiancial system (as if fiat currency based on debt didn't already establish that).
No, debt based currency can be viable.
They are buying low and selling high units of wealth that others have produced. They are not creating wealth, they are redistributing it.
Not just redistributing, but sometimes actively destroying, for fun and profit. This is where the system is broken.
This is the kind of shit that has madmen and economists thinking you can forever grow an economy in a finite world with finite resources.
No, that is not the reason. Just the very idea that wealth can be created gets extrapolated to the notion that it can be created indefinitely.
It's also the kind of shit that encourages people to view stocks as a way to gamble and not as investments.
People gamble with stocks, which leads to people viewing stocks as a way to gamble? Have you thought about this much?
no bubble, no burst.
Wow! This solves everything! Now, if only there was a surefire way to tell which investment opportunities are going to turn into bubbles...
If it wasn't as investment or for financial security, people had no reason whatsoever to buy property.
Correct. These days, it is the US calling the NATO for help.

What features and capabilities make it better ?
The vast majority of Windows machines are "rooted" due to [...] end users running binaries from unknown sources in some fashion.
I think you answered your own question.
Correct.
And furthermore, YouTube already has a mechanism to make Videos unavailable in certain countries upon request or for legal reasons.
I would have expected just that to happen: That upon request by the UK government, those videos will not be available to IP adresses from the UK.

Yes, and yes.

According to whom does the IPv4 pool last a month longer? It does not say in TFA.
And when will it run out?
The estimates I gathered were:
2011-05-28 according to Intec NetCore,
2011-06-05 according to Hurricane Electric.
And now it is a month longer, is that global or just ARIN adress space?
