mpg isn't clear about efficiency. l/100km is. if a car has double the efficiency then the L/Km gets doubled. not the same is valid for mpg. because when going from 10mpg to 20mpg is not the same as from 20mpg to 30mpg
let's be realistic here. the s-300 are defensive Surface to Air missiles. Even if we accept that somehow assad would give them to hezbollah, i highly doubt that hezbollah ( or assad ) have the scientific / technological know-how to transform them to surface-to-surface missiles.
the leader of the gang flew out of the US, and masked gunmen shot him down in the dominican republic. he had 100.000 usd with him and they were untouched. I wouldn't say that the hacked financial institutions didn't get their revenge.
belief_of_lack != lack_of_belief... which is what your "implied exclusion" which.. "does not hold"..was.
( is not means not equal to )
At last but not least, WHO said that atheists believe that god doesn't exist? Atheists THINK that gods don't exist. Keep your precious verb believe to yourself please.
the only part i would disagree with is the "Palestine was a Jewish region of the Ottoman Empire and 'Palestinians' meant Jewish dhimmis in the Palestine region". The Jews in Palestine at the time were only about 16% of the population. The rest were arabs.
yes, because in a country of 24+ million it is impossible to find a body double, or someone who looks enough like him and throw the poor impostor to the wolves
kim jong un, the son of kim jong il who lately became known as kim jong ded, was recruited by the CIA during his switzerland university years and is acting together with the US to bring down the regime by triggering some sort of crisis.
frakking excellent news. For some time now the bottleneck has been in the memory bandwidth, not in the cpu/gpu processing power. This will help a lot problems like raytracing/pathtracing which are memory bound.
thank you gods of the olympus!
p.s. for some time now I've been trying to find again a.pdf file ( which I had found in the past, but lost it somehow ) with detailed explanations and calculations on the memory and flops requirements of raytracing, and how memory bandwidth is very low for such problems
you have no idea what you're talking about. the asterisk just says that any kind of ethics/moral is subjective, meaning that you can't really say that moral system A is better than moral system B, the "best" is the one you choose to believe in.
That is in no way related to my first point, the reasons why one follows his particular moral system. So just because you follow moral code A, you can't necessarily be called a moral guy according to moral code A. Why ? Because you may be following moral code A not out of your free will and judgement but because you fear that if you don't, the invisible guy in the sky will send you to hell. So no you are not a moral guy just because you follow the moral rules of moral system A.
"The most unethical people through history has been highly educated."
cherry picking aka anecdotal evidence aka "any number of examples" do not prove any theory. On the other hand 1 example is enough to disprove such ridiculous claims:
Einstein
p.s. i can point an equally number of unethical people with really low education: Attila the hun anyone ? timur lang ?
(such as history, sociology etc.) gives the potential to people to truly CHOOSE to be moral* or not. You can't be called a moral guy just because you obey 3 thousand year old myths because you are afraid of the bearded man in the sky. People who "are" good because of their religion are in fact immoral people who just pretend to be good under fear.
* whatever moral means for anyone, since morality/ethics are purely subjective.
this is just a trick to pressure the west into giving hem MOARRR aid. none is stupid enough to destroy his own chain of power. There's only one case he must be "that stupid" : he's already agreed with the west ( recruited during the switzerland studies years ) to provoke an event from which the regime will collapse.
P.S. WILL THE FUCK SOMEONE DO ANYTHING WITH THIS MORONIC 10 PAGES LONG AUTOMATED POSTS BY BOTS? CAN'T JUST A MOD DELETE THEM ?
slashdot has always posted significant political news stories. Now, i'm not sure this is important, but could be if it was used as an excuse for a military intervention in syria by the west.

but after Egypt, I'm not entirely sure another MB dominated country in the ME is a good outcome for the West.
what say you?
because if they did airlock him right then, the cylons would have been destroyed and the series would have practically ended. SO SAY WE ALL!

would react. Seriously, who these lawyers think they are ? God incarnate ?
for the same reason that the fox which cut its tail, would like other foxes to cut it too.
Troll.
... which is what your "implied exclusion" which .. "does not hold" ..was.
Atheism = lack_of_belief;
lack_of_belief != belief_of_lack;
which is the SAME as saying:
belief_of_lack != lack_of_belief

then please ask your employer lockheed martin to sell 10 less f-16 to the government to help into balancing the budget.
random troll on the internet tries to make me angry. please stop, my cat is already crying.
if the primates followed your logic we'd still be on the trees.
imagine if a slashdot article had no people who wanted to measure their e-peens by posting smart-ass replies.
if half the budget the US spends for the military went towards space exploration
now i must admit that was a valid point!

wars are not declared with photos of the president and a map behind him showing "squadrons of airplanes" attacking the US .. from N.Korea ( http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2013/03/2013328222926559483.html )
