You like many people say that but do understand what it means.
A big company wants to build a theme park and gets development money from the state. A church wants to build a theme park and gets development money from the state. That is okay because both are treated the same.
If only the church or only the commercial company get money then you have a failure of separation of church and state.
And just so you understand this is the exact wording in the constitution ""Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." and Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." " In other words the original intent allowed states to actually have state religions. It only restricted the Federal government and even those restrictions are very limited and DO NOT LIMIT WHAT A CHURCH CAN DO! Some states have also embraced the separation of church and state but all those laws would make it illegal to exclude a church from receiving the same breaks that a non-church entity does from a state. It is not a law to protect you from religion or to restrict religion. It is a law to protect the church.
True but how many times have you heard that Christians have killed more or that religion as been the cause of more deaths than anything else. Nations and leaders with atheist ideologies have killed the most people. That does not mean that all atheists are mass murders anymore than most religious people are. Any large group will have monsters and saints.
True but it is hard to explain that the idea of more evolved or less evolved doesn't work at all. Or that even the change from simple to complex is not a sure thing but depends on selection pressures.
True but I have used some SSIDs like FBI4395, NSA02395, and BugsBunny as SSIDs. Some kid with a cellphone hotspot set it up as a joke and forgot that it was still on the phone when he got on the plane.
"including discussion of how evolutionary theory influenced Adolf Hitler's worldview" It is called social Darwinism. The rich are rich because the are better than the poor, eugenics, forced sterilization of people with low IQs,physical disabilities, and anti social problems. It is a perversion of science but one that makes sense to a frighteningly large number of people. It does not have anything to do with biological evolution really except that humans have become a very powerful evolutionary pressure for a lot of species including ourselves. Evolution does not have a goal except to reproduce which is by nature amoral. To use it as a moral or social guide is actually immoral.
Don't feed idiot ACs. He has never had a friend die of lung cancer because of tobacco or known someone that struggles to stop smoking. He/She has an arrogance born of ignorance and we just have to hope they grow out of it.
No so I have a bit of warning before I hear them. I would love to have an indicator of the direction they are in so I know where to look when I hear them.
Sheeple, disgusting company, shares your information to make a buck..... Well yes they do share info to make a buck but the have to make money someway to pay all the employees. The rest are just childish words that have no place in any adult conversation. Again no proof and no facts to back it up. Please learn the term opinion. You will live a very unhappy life and annoy a great many people if you keep mistaking opinion for facts. At best you would be surrounded by people that think exactly like you and help magnify all your mistakes at worse you will have no friends at all. Finally if you are are worried about handing data over to governments at all facebook is the really the least of your worries. The number of crazies that post on Slashdot, including yourself make it a great honeypot for low hanging fruit crazies.
" You know those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram, and the holy water, and he's like — Yeah, he's sure he can control the demon? Doesn't work out."" You do not use holy water to summon a demon. Now a moat of holy water around the pentagram might keep it somewhat under control...
Of course this is in DnD in the real world Demons tend to be things like drugs/alcohol/tobacco, abuse, and other such evil that are far harder to control than mythical beasts from the underworld.
4 only applies to computers. You do reach a point of diminishing returns on most technologies. Take steam turbines for example. They are no improving at a rapid rate yet they are still just about the best solution for many types of power generation.
"It may not actually be a tank by the technical definition, but the mistake is understandable." For a commentor on slashdot yes. For an average person on the street yes. For a journalist no, they get paid for accurate reporting.
Hardware:Take a small micro with BLE, add a temp sensor, put in a wristwatch style case with some batteries. Software: once an hour it reads your temp and pushes it to your smartphone. Emails your temps to public health every hour so they know it is working. If the temp goes too high the email is flagged if it goes to low aka the watch is not on the person. Give them two so they can recharge one at night when they sleep and one during the day. No need for locking up health care workers that are not sick.
It was called ATI and was formed in the 1970s. The program was terminated by the Obama administration in 2010 because it was used that often. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U... [wikipedia.org]
No but it you could use a heavy AL case with a lot of fins on the box and mount a large water block to the case. The case becomes the heat sink. Or you could build large custom heat tubes.which would be more reliable.
1. Your constant use of Scumbag. Why? What harm has facebook done?
2 "Better still would be to give them nothing by not using Facebook." Why? I get value out of Facebook.
3. "As does everyone. What is your point? You're still giving them more information than you should." Than I should? You need to learn the term opinion. Your judgment is not backed by any overwhelming proof or frankly any proof at all. BTW calling Facebook "scumbag" is in no way proof.
Fine stay off of facebook. I wonder if you are using TOR to post to slashdot since the time of post could be used to connect your posts to an ip address and then use that to find your identity.
What if we can cure macular degeneration but the cure takes a dedicated team of people 20 days to grow the new cells and then costs $1,000,000 dollars? so a person can see for the last 10 years of life? When that same $1,000,000 dollars can provide clean water to a village of 200 people? While it is not a zero sum game what happens when it gets more and more expensive and adds value for less and less of a persons life? What happens when you can live forever but at a cost of a billion dollars a year?
" It is obvious that any current contributors would be most interested in working on it future, more than any other potential contributor." No it isn't. I worked on a device driver for a Linux based SBC at my last job. I have zero interest in working on that for free now that I have a different job.

It is not a law to protect you from religion or to restrict religion. It is a law to protect the church.
Yet people would probably be okay with a theme park full of witches and fairies getting tax breaks.
But it can cook you. But then water can drown you as well.

Alcohol for many people is harmless. It is the people that are addicted that have issues.
You do not have to convince me. The issue is how easy it is for the concept of survival of the fittest can be abused.

"The people who would find this useful are the sort of crazy asshole drivers for whom I used to keep a grenade launcher."
Okay.....
But this can aid in safe driving. Knowing when an emergency vehicle of any kind is near by can be a very good thing.
I do not see that a false positive. It is good to know when an emergency vehicle is near by.

True and it would be just fine for an average person to use tank for this.
It is not okay for a journalist to put it into print.
