Because sex and sexual enjoyment are fundamental functions of the penis. Certain religious beliefs profess that sexual enjoyment is immoral, but certainly the government should not allow parents to disfigure helpless infants solely for ideological reasons. When the child is old enough to decide if he (or she) wants his sexual functions to conform to his parents' religion, then he can make that (irreversible) decision himself.
leave us parents to decide for ourselves.
What makes you think that I'm not included in that group?
Male circumcision permanently removes normal, functional, specialised tissue. It removes specialised sensory tissue [17], half the penile skin [17] and removes the normal gliding function that facilitates intromission [18]. Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of the penis [19].
Study after study has found no significant health benefits sufficient enough to warrant circumcision.
No one wants to admit any more that the primary health benefit for which circumcision was made popular in the USA was to "cure" masturbation. That, along with cornflakes.
A "servlet" is susceptible to attack since malicious software running on the target can identify and stop it or trigger a logic bomb.
It is possible the "servlet" could be maliciously submitted to malware and virus protection houses. The code would be inspected and signature detection profiles pushed out to millions of computers world wide. Thus a target with active, running virus protection might automatically stop a live forensics investigation.
An owner of a system who does not want unauthorized software running on his computer is "malicious"? Just because some company sells this openly doesn't prevent it from being malware.
I grew up in Kansas. After I joined the Navy, I lived in South Carolina, New York state and Connecticut. After I left the Navy, I've worked in Texas and Oklahoma, both of which were far worse than South Carolina.
Oklahoma by far has the most intolerant people I have ever met.
...the system will thrive even though nobody is even trying to make the system thrive. This is perhaps how Ayn Rand would have put it, had she not been such a hateful bitch.
I have the misfortune of haven taken a job in Oklahoma.
There is a seriously large fraction of the population here would cheer of Obama got lynched. A frightening number of people who would volunteer to do it.
Except for the unfortunate problem of "magnetic fields can do no work".
Magnetic fields can store and transfer energy. If something ever used the energy of the earth's magnetic field as a power source, then whatever process creates the field is the source of the energy.
So are you talking macro or micro evolution? They are entirely separate things. While I believe in micro-evolution (small changes in a species) which most certainly can be proven by science, I think macro-evolution (you know the kind that says we evolved from something else) is bunk and it most definitely cannot be (and hasn't been) proven by science.
So are you talking about macro or micro counting? They are entirely seperate things. While I believe in micro-counting (1, 2, 3, 4) which anyone can do, I think macro-counting (1 to a million) is bunk and is has never been done before.
And and industrial application where you need to stop a motor quickly. Skipping the resistor and just shorting the motor leads is the most efficient type of regenerative braking, but most motors can't survive that much current...
Wrong and wrong again. Your device causes the "measured power" to be reduced only, by adding a large capacitance to the largely inductive load of your appliance. This is effectively lying to the power meter, as your device actually has leakage power associated with it in itself. So you are literally STEALING POWER, and as such, those devices are no longer sold because they were made illegal.
Those magnets on the end of his motor will induce a voltage in the coils of wire that he places in from of the apparatus.
When he shorts out the coils, (relatively large) current will flow though the coil, creating a magnetic field that will oppose the spinning motion of the magnets and thus slow down the motor and cause it to draw more current.
What's odd is that the motor accelerates and draws less current instead.
So far every story like this before ends with either a hoax or a measurement error. While this doesn't rule out the possibility of a major discovery, I know where I'd place any wagers...
4) To the idiot that said something about 'disconnection brakes', in this case the brakes were effectively electro-magnets. By shorting the coils, they became lumps of copper. No more electro-magnets, no more brakes.
A coil of wire (in the presence of a moving magnetic field) with no current flow through it is a lump of copper. When you allow current to flow from one end of the coil to the other, then it starts doing work. The less resistance you put across the coil, the more current flows and the more energy is extracted from the prime mover (I^2*R). Shorting the coils should induce the maximum drag on that motor.

/var/tmp is supposed to persist past reboots.
My point was that people consider libertarianism egocentric because of Ayn Rand.
I didn't mean to say that it was a bad thing to be egocentric, I just think that the statement about Ayn Rand in that article I linked is hilarious.

This is bullshit. With my score of (1.75,-2.82), there's no leaders even in the same quadrant as me.

A coil of wire with 90 volts induced in it and open-circuited (0 amps) will dissipate 0 watts.
Assume the coil has an resistance of 1 ohm. When he short-circuits the coil, it looked like the induced voltage dropped to about 10 volts.
10 volts / 1 ohm = 10 amps
10 amps * 10 volts = 100 watts
Suddenly adding 100 watts of load to a motor should slow it down.
Those magnets on the end of his motor will induce a voltage in the coils of wire that he places in from of the apparatus.
When he shorts out the coils, (relatively large) current will flow though the coil, creating a magnetic field that will oppose the spinning motion of the magnets and thus slow down the motor and cause it to draw more current.
What's odd is that the motor accelerates and draws less current instead.

You need the input amps and volts of the motor, as well as the amps and volts of each coil to really see what is happening in terms of energy.
