Now that healthcare is improved, many more people survive their childhood, which actually mean that we as a species are becoming weaker and weaker.
Nonsense. It creates a greater genetic variety which is a bonus.
It seems that intelligence is a negative selection factor, because people with a high intelligence tend to have less children (or non at all) than people with an average intelligence. When healthcare improves even further, the effects may become even stronger.
Intelligence has a strong environmental component. If you're worried about this, help fix this component.
Who knows in 200 years we will not be able to walk anymore and all sitting in personal cars for most of our lives.
I'm not trying to be insensive or anything here; I'm just talking from a biological/evolutional point of view. If you let those people live, you're working against natural selection.
You're speaking from an incomplete point of view. I'd say a species that can allow this many of its members to survive is a very succesful species.
People have decided that 24fps is "cinematic" since that's what movies have been for so long and so they expect it and hate on things that aren't. They need to STFU and just take some time to appreciate a more real format.
If I want things to look "more real" I'll stick my head out the window.
Terrorists, as the name implies, operate more on the psychological impact of what they do than the physical impact. Hijacking a plane and then crashing it wherever they want has a significantly higher psychological impact on the populace than just bombing an airport (not to say that doesn't have an impact, just less of one).
It would seem as though white males are always singled out when it comes to issues of tolerance and acceptance. I'm curious to know why that is.
White males have been, and continue to be, in a position of privilege.
All this whining about white males being under attack, or "white males are always singled out when it comes to issues of tolerance and acceptance" simply stems from the erosion of this position of privilege. This erosion is long overdue by the way.

Sneakernet didn't protect Iran against Stuxnet.

Remember, time-based split spectrum encoding goes back to Hedy Lamarr's patent from the WWII era.
That's Hedley.
It's not McDonald's. You don't just drive up to it. Like a beautiful woman, you have to chase it... No, I didn't really say that.
Swiss Tony, is that you?

Silly pessimism.
Genetically, race is a completely meaningless word.
That's the most depressing post I've ever read on Slashdot.
That's like saying "'water is wet' is a depressing statement".

Chances are you're looking at Gnome 3. Welcome to bleeding edge rolling release distros.
Not gonna work.
They are doing a job. Then need to do it following the policies as best they can.
That alone is enough reason to hate them. Without their compliance, those policies wouldn't be carried out.

Short history lesson.
That was last year, a month ago he had progressed to 45%.
Everybody needs to get past the whole "bulling is bad" mentality.
Everybody needs to get past this whole "hardship builds character" nonsense. It stopped being fun in the early 19th century.
You're out-voted. Since this is cultural rather than a measurable scientific fact, the vote determines truth and thus you're obviously wrong.
Ah, tradition then.
Tradition is the worst excuse to do anything ever.
I think I can safely say that no one would really understand that comment.
What's a tortoise?
[...]because what he has done has been done by others before him. He has done commendable hard work used by many people[...]
Of course, this is true for every innovation everywhere by anyone. So let's stop give prizes then.
No, for that you'd need a gripon.

No.

We (TINW) prefer not to speak of such vile revisionism.
