The reason being that science constantly uderminess the silliness that religion is.
This is not made in purpose, most scientists could not care less about what a mullah, rabi or guru have to say about a scientific matter that has been deducted using the scientific method and corroborated by peer review.
The problem is that scientific knowledge blows away conventional religious wisdom, thus the religious people feel under attack.
Well, they are under attack, and they are not. They are because their ideas and beliefs are baseless and regularly proven so. But they are not because proof of how silly religion is comes by itself with nobody trying necessarily to undermine it in a concerted effort.
For as long as science is free the conflict will exist, until eventually, hopefully, humanity liberates itself from this hangover that served us well while we were ignorant but that is becoming a liability now that we can stand in our own feet based on the knowledge we can use to our advantage.
There is no god, things like the uncertainity principle and Godel's theorem should be enough evidence that the existence of a supreme being is very unlikely.
Your parochialism is so immense that is not funny.
Most of the world uses km/hr and let me tell you something, it does not hurt, and nobody cares. But it is much simpler to do arithmetic with hose units. I will not probe this since it is widely documented.
Poor people in the metric world! We don't have pints! The horror. Guess what buddy, there are bottles of 250 ml, 500ml, 1l, 1.5l, 2 l and 3 l.
Germans seem to be pretty happy drinkers and I don't see them crying for the lack of pints to measure their beer. Of course you could drink beer in 500ml (or half litre if you really are that hung up on English system terminology) glasses and I assure you the 30ml or so difference would be completely unnoticeable, specially after the 3rd or 4th glass.
I think. being reasonably intteligent individuals, we should use the easiest system to stop wasting our time in pointless conversations to a system that lacks any logic whatsoever.
The kind of Imperialism in the 20 and 21st century will not resemble the one of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The US is not interested in getting more colonies, that process stopped in the XIXth century with the forceful annexation of half of Mexico. ALthough the US tried its go as a colonialist power in the Phillipines, it probed so expensive and bloody that cured US colonial adventurism, hopefully for good.
But todays colonialism is different: countries vie for spheres of influence and that is why only big countries will have any and why small countries ally themsleves to bigger ones (EU, ASEAN).
Chatolics are Christians, actually they are the biggest Christian denomination in the world (and the only one that can track its leadership back to Saint Peter himself).
If you don't like them, fine, that is your prerrogative, but sprouting nonsense will not make a patent lie become a truth.
The day you suffer what the Palestinians endure I would like to hear what people like you think about their enemy and the tactics you would be willing to use.
Very easy to criticize others from the vantage point of our own cosiness.
Sometimes I wonder if some people get the full open source,closed source thing at all.
Look buddy, OSS differs from CSS only in how you decide to license it.
The software is the same for bunny's sake, there are no tools that magically will convert your software in OOS or CSS just by using them.
Your question is frankly inane and I wonder why the editors found worth posting (slow day out there guys?).
In regards to distributed development, you seem to have nailed down the tools you need (once you go live plese let us know the name of your software, your awarness of security, telnet????, is pretty reassuring).
Any well behaved apps that use things like LDAP, NIS or NIS+ have hope.
If a smallish company that went out of business wrote an authentication protocolo of their own how are you going to leech your authentication system there? (maybe if it is text based you could use expect and provide the glue, but you are going to invent this, you are not going to find it anywhere).
Where I work we have single sign on, but that is the theory.
In one hand UNIX machines use one system, WIndows machines use another and Web applications uset yet one more (and some of them use Windows authentication). ANd we are a company that can throw resources to the problem and still have not managed to achieve this.
Unles you have the resources to do internal development this is a pipe dream. New application certainly should adhere to a standard that mandates single sign on of some kind, but old ones if they are not easy to convert should just be keot as they are until hoppefully they are retired.

Duh!

It should be either none or all.

If you will not, don't.

What an stupid question.
Chatolics are Christians, actually they are the biggest Christian denomination in the world (and the only one that can track its leadership back to Saint Peter himself).
If you don't like them, fine, that is your prerrogative, but sprouting nonsense will not make a patent lie become a truth.
And at least they understand why this is important.
Chauvinistic countries (and people) clearly don't.
The day you suffer what the Palestinians endure I would like to hear what people like you think about their enemy and the tactics you would be willing to use.

By Margaret Thatcher of course.
And so where the Israleis fighting for their own state.
And so on and so forth.
Be careful, your terrorists, freedom fighters, etc.
Lets ask them unloaded questions, questions that do not force any issues whatsoever.
Jeeeez.

You guys have no hope, honestly, get better informed.
Just for starters Mexico and Germany are both Federal Republics.
Or should somebody down this thread clarify why you are an asshole?
A republic and a democracy are not mutually exclusive concepts.
Who is teaching you this nonsense????
Honestly, now I am genuinely interesting whos or what is spreading this nonsense.
A republic may or may not ba a democracy, both concepts are not mutually exclusive.
Please fight your ignorance, it pains me to see people so misinformed...
They will be delighted to know it is so easy to get in the nuke club: don't sign anything!
... because they are stupid.
ANd based on the responses on this thread, they are not alone.
...escapes your intellectual capacity of judging a situation in which it looses its meaning?
Free elecetions, no ifs, no buts.
My goodness, no wonder people give away their freedoms and liberties for a meagre false sense of security (and bread and circus of course)
.. an electoral authority of some kind?
How is it possible that such a person thinks that it is OK to force people to do something which should be a free individual decission?
Why are there so many idiots on this thread justifying sombeody requiring this?
No wonder democracy is being undermined so badly, most people, even literature teachers, do not get it.
What an amazing and outrageous state of affairs.
No fscking way.
