Imagine this were the USA and Western Europe situation: there is no www.google.com, yro.slashdot.org, www.facebook.com, or similar. Everything you do in in the *.cn domain, with IP addresses assigned by the Chinese, and physically located in China. Would that be a good situation for the USA or Western Europe?
It's no different for Belarus.
(bummer, because I **like** the USA having more control over Belarus)
Let's put all medical info on the internet, publicly accessible. Let's include DNA sequences and video of all medical procedures. This would be wonderful for accountability (billing fraud, malpractice, etc.) and research. It would increase continuity of care, particularly when you show up unconscious far away from your normal care provider. It would cut down on the spread of disease, especially if we added mandatory testing for disease: you can look on the internet to see if your date has an STD. It would cut down on crazy people and drug addicts going from doctor to doctor in search of one (or a hundred) who will cave in to some demand. In short, the benefits would be astronomical.
records are hoarded by doctors, pharmacies, hospitals
It's offensive how this works. Take my X-rays for example. My surgeon sent me some place to get them done. He's the one with a clue; they just take pictures. Despite this, they insist on having me wait for some on-staff radiologist to "interpret" the X-rays. They claim state law requires this. (if so, surely because they lobbied for it) Then I'm not allowed to truly own the images, physically or by copyright, and neither is my surgeon. (again by state law, which they surely lobbied for) I'm allowed to borrow the X-rays, taking them to my surgeon so he can see them. I'm sternly warned that I'm violating some law if I don't bring them back. WTF, is somebody covering the storage costs? Fortunately I didn't see a due date, so I'm still "borrowing" my own damn X-rays a decade later and I don't remember who the "owner" is. If I had foolishly been a good boy and returned them, I'd currently have no possible way to access them. The X-rays would be gone, preventing future surgeons from being able to compare them with newer X-rays or being able to make an initial guess before ordering new X-rays.
The same goes for the dentist. IMHO, it's a racket to encourage repeat business. Come back to us, or you suffer extra X-ray exposure and it won't even be covered by your insurance.
Biology influences culture. DNA makes our brains, with well-proven gender differences, and our brains lead to our culture. Our culture is created directly by our brains, and also by the interaction with other people (brains).
Ironicly, pulseaudio and Network Manager are the fault of people like you. You demanded a non-CLI way to control things, and you got it. Now you don't like it. Well, thank you very much for fucking up my formerly-reliable and formarly-understandable CLI. I hope you're proud of yourself.
how the fuck am i supposed to fix her box if Linux takes a shit on Tuesday? with windows she simply calls me and gives me the code for remote assistance and BAM! I've got full control, just like i'm sitting at the box.
VNC works everywhere.
The traditional way is remote X11 forwarding. You ssh in with forwarding enabled, and then you can run GUI commands. This is about to be broken too, by Wayland, again because regular GUI users don't do remote X. Thanks buddy. Your influence is just peachy.
Oh and before you say LTS allow me to say FUCK LTS, its a code word for "runs old shit" and most of the software is NEVER backported so you're looking at third party security risks, no thanks. ALL of my machines MUST have the latest patches, no unpatched software allowed.
By that standard, you're running the Windows 8 beta now. No? Well surely at least Windows 7... what? You run XP? That's the Windows LTS.
Now download the version from 3 years ago, get all the drivers working (CLI is allowed here, after all you're the builder ATM not the buyer
It looks like you are installing unsupported drivers. It's the only explanation for why you'd even notice the lack of a kernel driver ABI. Well, don't do that. Unsupported drivers can fuck up any OS. Drivers downloaded from some random web site are NOT supported.
all i have left in SATA drives is a single 80Gb and that one is going in the new quad i'm building my GF for Xmas. All she does is FB and IM anyway so 80Gb with win 7 HP will be just perfect for her.
Not Linux? Do you just not love her or is this some S+M thing you two are into?
On the Green Line at least, the number of cars per train will vary according to predicted need. Probably lots of places do this; it's a damn obvious solution.
The poor are already popping out kids, and nothing short of imprisonment or forced sterilization is going to change that. Do you really want to disincentivize the people with good jobs? Those would be the people with intelligence, mental stability, drive, ambition, work ethic, education, and so on. In other words, those would be the people who make decent parents and produce children who grow up to be decent humans. You want to disincentivize that?
They consume far less than 5 people in 5 separate households. Since 3 of them are nowhere near retirement, they also have a far greater projected contribution to society.
Note that all people, even single gay people, start life as children. Helping children helps all of us as we start our lives. It's not right to benefit from that as a child, then decide (now that you are grown) that the next generation doesn't get the same help that you got.
It is implied that you want to do more than just run your CPU to replicate a binary that you already have. In other words, the goal is to tweak. The goal isn't to waste electricity.
On the Linux side, "make menuconfig" is pretty darn good. It nicely deals with prerequisites, provides you with allowable values, and even gives you help. FreeBSD has you editing a makefile with minimal documentation.
This would tend to make people grow up in poverty if they come from large families. Here, a fix: each person (babies included) gets taxed according to their share of family income.
Example: Bob makes $100,00 and Mary makes $50,000 for a total of $150,000. They have 3 kids, so 5 people in the family. Each family member thus has a $30,000 share of the income. This family pays the same total tax as 5 individuals who each earn $30,000. Normally this would be less than the tax on 1 individual who earns $150,000 because of tax brackets.
It's even easier and faster, since you can just tweak the stuff that matters. Install something sane, perhaps debian-testing, ditch the background daemons you don't need, compile your own kernel (way easier than with FreeBSD), and compile any app that you really really care about. Done, easy, and you still get fast/easy access to the gigantic Debian software collection.
There are plenty of quizzes, a directed graph to help you pick the next topic, great hinting when you get stuck, silly awards for different types of progress, the ability to create student-teacher account associations ("coach" feature), etc.
Of course, lesson one is that you need to lie about your birthdate if you are under 13. This is because nobody under 13 is allowed to use the Internet, including Khan Academy. Unfortunately you need subtraction to do this, but I'll help you just this once: say you were born in 1969.
Already there: sign of for Khan Academy, and you get a chart of topics ordered (as a directed graph) by prerequisite. Each topic provides a quiz to let you know if you are ready to move on, plus links to several videos in case you need help, and a wonderful hint system that shows you step-by-step how to do the problems.
It's thought to be the same team, this time gathering the needed info for stuxnet version 2. Instead of attacking SCADA, Duqu researches SCADA systems. It's getting passwords, certificates, and other goodies needed to make stuxnet version 2 a huge success.
You'd rather these adversaries fight with regular weapons???? (rifles, air dropped bombs, car bombs, silenced pistols, choke cords, polonium tea, cruise missiles, tanks, nuclear devices...)
I don't like the effort, and I don't appreciate the tool. I'm sure Mohamed Saher would like us to help out with his tool, but no thanks. Some countries sorely need to get pwned, and I applaud all efforts to do so.
It's always had serious bugs. Mailboxes get corrupted. It crashes. The developers don't "get it" at all. They focus on adding lame features while serious data-eating bugs remain for over half a decade.
I suspect the developers are in over their heads regarding concurrency and atomic updates. Evolution has **lots** of threads.
So OK, bugs happen, but why keep pushing people to use it? That is offensive. There should be a "DO NOT USE" warning until it isn't horribly unstable.
Homosexuality is no longer in the DSM because psychiatry/psychology is a profession like "interior decorator" or "actor". It's loaded with them, and they get to make the decision.
A reasonable analysis would note that the behavior tends to prevent offspring and dramatically increase STD occurrence. It's thus clearly harmful, even ignoring the social effects and suicide rate. We also know it appears to be mainly caused by the womb environment, making it a birth defect. Leaving it out of the DSM is pure politics, not evidence-based medicine.
Psychopathy could easily be removed from the DSM. Notice who makes the laws that regulate this profession? All it takes is a non-discrimination law passed by the psychopaths we elect, and psychopathy leaves the DSM. It's all political anyway.
OTOH, you'll never see ADD/ADHD removed from the DSM. There is too much money to be made from people wanting methamphedamine (Adderall, a.k.a. speed or meth) and other drugs.
Slashdot Mirror
Sure that film was the original? I wouldn't want some degraded 2nd-generation copy.
Fortunately this issue is going away with perfect digital copies.

There is no justification for "obliterating countries"
I can think of more than a few justifications.
A few of those are batshit insane, while others are pretty darn reasonable though certainly cold and calculating. Nice leaders don't always win.
Biology influences culture. DNA makes our brains, with well-proven gender differences, and our brains lead to our culture. Our culture is created directly by our brains, and also by the interaction with other people (brains).
the young cohort pretty much proved
Right, and no gender-specific changes occur after third grade? FAIL.

Grey means you haven't done the prerequisites. Green means that you have done the prerequisites. Blue means that you have mastered the lesson.
None of this works unless you get an account of course.
