Being a serial killer is just "being the way you are" too. Murder should be legal by your argument.
Now that's the stupidest thing I've read today!
No being a serial killer is by definition someone that have murdered multiple persons on different occasions. Having the desire of murdering several persons on different occasions is not only legal (but should be treated as the mental problem it is) but not enough to be called a serial killer.
Being sexually attracted to children is enough to be called a pedophile (technically not but it is used as a catch-all phrase nowadays) even if the person in question doesn't act on this attraction. It is legal to be a pedophile as long as one doesn't act on it.
I'd like to tattoo "IDIOT ALERT" on all idiot forum posters (like you) so they can be avoided in real life. But I'll not act on that which makes is legal.
Really? Isn't it acting on the homosexual urges that are severely punished rather than being homosexual? One need not have sex with persons of the same gender to be homosexual, one doesn't need to do sexual activities (will not call it sex - more like severe sexual abuse) with children to be a pedophile and one doesn't need to have sex with the opposite gender to be a heterosexual.
OTOH Islamic fanatics (as do other types of fanatics) like to claim that homosexuality is a western phenomena (if they even accept it as existing at all). Strange that the same kind of fanatics severely punish what they claim not exist in the first place...
Not really - people that like taking drugs but can't control themselves tend to step up the severity of drugs. Some drugs are almost impossible not get physically dependent on and even drugs that doesn't create physical dependencies can create strong psychological dependencies.
TL;DR gateway drugs are real - almost nobody start injecting heroin from day one.
Yeah the "no free lunch" argument. Unlike the popular meme there are actually many free lunches (really free) yesterday and today but don't expect it to last if overused. Even someone that genuinely want to provide a free service will get problems when the costs for providing it exceeds some limit.
Not that this is an example of the above - this is just another company that tries to get some money.
I don't publish where I live except when it's needed (like buying things). The name was Megol and it have been used as a general nick/tag for over 20 years (more likely 30 years) all over the web and in private. Megol is relatively rarely used in the western part of the Internet. If you are interested enough there are data out there to get my "real" name and (as it is a very unusual combination) then learn my age, where I live etc. Some data is actually spelled out explicitly in my forum posts. But _you_ have to do the work. IOW I'm not a coward but not an idiot either.
In comparison you are using a generic nickname shared by thousands other, there is no sub-identifier that make differentiating between you and others using that nick possible. The only way to track your comments even if you publish personal information is by doing statistical analysis of the text in your posts.
Stupid cowards posting stupid things? How unusual!
People don't want eels to go extinct for several reasons. They are part of the system providing an important function (waste management) but the most important reason is selfish humans - it turns out those waste recycling snakelike fish taste excellent! Even if we didn't want to preserve a species for some specific reason we know from experience that (most) species have functions that can impact the rest of the ecosystem sometimes with great impact for humans.
You just gave the perfect illustration why scammers would build something! Take a token from the "investments" and build something (a model most often or in this case a track segment) - suddenly people thinking like you is interested in investing as the project "can't" be a scam.
Advanced scamming operations tend to produce multiple models/parts as time goes by with no intention to make whatever they claim they are doing.
It is illegal to take and give bribes in China. While it is deeply ingrained in society making it hard to root out the Chinese government severely punish this crime - some are executed.
I'm not interested in this nor am I in love in the FSF and their ideas. While I have contributed to GPL software it isn't my favorite license as it removes freedoms compared to other licenses (but I admit the GPL makes sense in some cases).
This obviously interest you which is good. Expecting others here to be clones of you is however unreasonable.
They aren't saying that - they are pointing out the facts. So it disturbs you people can see that (almost) nobody cares about this certification? Or is it that the same people can comment that the word "coveted" isn't really correct here? Anyway it's ironic (not like rain) given the content of your post...
Hypothesis is a bit strong - it's more like an observation. An observation that have pushed the silicon industry forward by having that continuous improvement as a goal. But nobody thought it was some natural law.
We still have many ways to continue Moore's law. Going 3D with either monolitic (several logic layers per chip) or die stacking (or of course die stacking of multiple monolitic 3D dies). Increasing the size of chips is another way. Most chips aren't near the reticle limit and one can actually make chips larger than the reticle limit even though it gets harder.
Nobody bitches about the web developers as porn site operators aren't a group discriminated against. That's what that case was about - discrimination. If the bakery didn't bake wedding cakes for anybody there wouldn't be a problem, if they didn't bake it for a nazi wedding it wouldn't be a problem, if they didn't bake it because they didn't like the cut of their (the customers) jib it wouldn't be a problem. They refused to do it because the people ordering it were homosexuals. There are laws against discriminating for racial, sexual (and a lot of other) reasons so refusing due to that is against the law.
NB that nowhere in the NT (and AFAIK not in the OT either) are there commandments to refuse homosexuals or other "sinners" service. Actually that idea goes directly against what Jesus preached!
Personally I'd be okay with refusing service to homosexuals if they weren't the only "sinners" refused. I'd expect each potential customer to fill in a huge questionnaire with such questions like "have you ever touched a menstruating woman" and "have you ever said hard words against your parents".
Like those that think a society should protect the people against dangers? Those that realize that a drug addict have no control? Those that knows the costs for an individual, a family and the society drug abuse have?
Celsius and Kelvin are used for different purposes. One is for absolute temperatures that can represent from zero entropy to infinity on a scale that starts at the minimum possible temperature (well there are some claims of negative Kelvins but that isn't using the normal definition of temperatures). The other is a general purpose scale where the zero is the freezing point of the most important chemical we know and the 100 degree is defined as the boiling point of the same chemical under some assumptions.
The uses are different but it is trivial to convert between them: add or subtract 273.15. So in other words they are on the same scale but with different starting points.
The body can adjust, sure. But what you claim isn't possible - the body can burn more fuel to increase body temperature if it's cold and after some temperatures one will begin to shake/shiver as the body tries to increase heat by working the muscles and if that doesn't help blood flow to extremities will be decreased in order to preserve the core temperature as long as possible. That is possible. But the body have no internal mechanism for cooling. Decreasing metabolism just means that the body produces less heat, it doesn't regulate the external temperature. The only way for a human to cool in an environment hotter than the body want to be is using heat exchange with the surrounding world, radiation and conductive transfer are generally not too useful (radiation is very inefficient at body temperatures, conductive: external objects tend to be hotter than the body) which leaves the evaporative cooling by secreting sweat and allow it to evaporate.
The mechanism an ordinary refrigerator use is that compression increases heat and decompression decreases heat. So we have a gas at temperature x, compress it using a compressor which means we have a gas under pressure with a temperature y (y being greater than x). We then cool that gas in a heat exchanger (normally cooled using ambient air) resulting in a pressurized gas with a temperature lower than y. Finally the gas is decompressed via a valve which results in a lower pressure gas with considerably lower temperature, this gas then cools whatever is to be cooled before returning to the start of the cycle.
The poster you responded to is correct in that heat only flows from high to low and if the evaporative cooling of the body (a very efficient process BTW) fails for some reason _or_ if the external temperature is too high, the external humidity is to much for sweat to evaporate* or a lot of other cases then the body will be overheated and one will die. It isn't unusual.
(* so how do people survive saunas? Time is also a factor and some people do actually die from using them)
Maybe you should realize that _good_ quality "artificial" meat could have many benefits for normal people? There could be reduced costs, reduced environmental impact and better control of meat properties.
In theory that is. To reach the point where factory grown meat can have those qualities there is a need for research, if anybody want to eat the expensive _bad_ quality meat possible to produce now so that everyone can benefit in the future I'll applaud those heroes!

No it isn't - conspiracy to do something is the same as collaborating with others in order to prepare doing just that.
Like being gay, it's just the way you are.

Negative time dilation due to extremely slow Internet? They probably use 56k modems over there...
