Very interesting definition you have of "all the answers"
Well, if Slashdoters need further definitions for understanding what "all the answers" of the Bible are about, and try to learn how to code in C++ from it... i can't help them!
Sir, this was a message from God* for humanity: a human publicly thanking some other human.
As a PROUD frequent blood donor, i PROUDLY deliver this message: EVERY CAPABLE PERSON SHOULD DONATE BLOOD - some person may privately thank you in his prays... or even publicly in some/. comment that you most probaly you will never read, but it would be in your "record".
* Mister "sconeu" (64226) is the messenger - that's how i see it, no need for anyone to get upset.
I understand the need for data to become information (and knowledge), but, since the particular data not only are meaningful while examined clustered and in large scale i think but also have an impractical 15.5 mile (25 kilometer) resolution for a farmer (singular), the farmers (plural) must wait some NON-farmer(s) to make the convertion of data to information (and knowledge).
I hope that 1+1=2 is "settled" because important things in my life depends on it being... settled! Plus: that "2000 year old book holds all the answers" is a fact - it just does not deals with that 1+1=2 issue... no need to try to prove that you are more clever than a religious person (like i am) by making such stupid comparisons between science and religion for unrelated domains.
Thank God... and NASA of course - i did not checked them, but, for things like this issue, what the world needs mostly in my opinion is raw data... enough with just opinions and/or simulated projections based on measurements (from the summary: "The data includes both historical measurements [covering the time period from 1950...] from around the world and simulated projections based on those measurements").
I think that farmers would be interested in their local projections but we need tools to see them.
I can't think why a farmer may need this data, plus, at 15.5 mile (25 kilometer) resolution, even if he is interested, he can better understand the projections by just reading the raw data "cell" - what kind of one to four pixel(s) visualisation would help a farmer!?
With your track record of condemning all members of a particular religion based on nothing more than conjecture and projection, you might have a fight trying to appear objective yourself...
But i am objective when i object to Islam* (objectively projected to Muslims who their faith is my proof needed for my objection - do you know any other way?), plus....
* i hope the fact that i am a Greek nationalist does not make you think that this "particular religion" is the Jewish - of course you may need to read here, but i must ask you to pull any stick out of your ass that *may* exist before reading it!
Heh, my only criticism of you mentioning that you are Greek is that you do it in like, every thread:P
My criticism to anyone criticizing me for mentioning that I AM A GREEK in every thread (!), is that this criticism was not able to make me a better human being... i still do it!
I don't know what you understand when you read that someone (e.g. me) is nationalist - and even that is effected in many ways and in much degree by YOUR nationality (which i don't know so to answer specifically). But in any case i can not accept this "cultural equalism", i.e., every invividual and/or every group of invividuals (e.g., nations) are "the same". What "makes nationalism worth it" is simply this: a *civilized* invividual and/or a group of invividuals (e.g., nation) remains civilized preserving its civilization, plus an *uncivilized* invividual and/or a group of invividuals (e.g., nation) has the chance to be influanced by the civilized and be civilized itself (of course the civilized must preserve itself, i.e., exist, so it can be a model for the uncivilized).
Still not realistic cause for legal requirement to disclose information pertaining to all those individuals who made comments.
You may have read that other Greek replying and criticizing me for mentioning that i am a Greek... but anyway: i don't know what are "the legal requirement to disclose information" in USA, but in Greece (and -most of- Europe?), just implying that you will kill a judge is valid reason (and has been done numerous times for less threatening comments) - plus, it is not about "all those individuals who made comments", but about "all those individuals who made threatening comments".
I have a Slashdot account for 2 months now, but i used to read it (and wrote few comments) at least 2 more months before that, and i don't remember being able to read signatures (and now i like -and try- to reply to all anonymous commenters).
2. I'm fully aware of your political beliefs which you rightly guessed that I do not espouse.
Well, i was sure you was "fully aware of my political beliefs", and it was *really easy* to "guess that you do not espouse" ("espouse"! just checked it in the dictionery...)
"We" Greeks did jack shit, the ancient Greeks built the Parthenon along with a number of other really impressive feats.
O.K., lets try something else: when barbarians still eat bananas, we Greeks already suffered from high cholesterol...
And the Telly Savalas thing was indeed funny, but that's not what prompted me to criticize your taking pride in an ancient civilization's accomplishments, just because you happen to share some traits, out of dumb luck.
Relax boy, you don't have to prove to me that you are a sensitive "antifa"... i already know it. But even barbarians can get the jokes i make (and already done it in many other comments i made... i would not like to be in Slashdot if your Greek "antifa" malakia was the norm!).
Ran out of mod points but discussion is encouraged anyways, and it's not like my getting slightly off-topic can mess with the site's currently declining quality (even though this particular news article isn't half bad).
So... don't blame me for ruining this site with my Greek jokes when it is you who gets off-topic - get some mod points and moderate (how is this done? when i will get some, so i could mod down Microsoft haters, left-wing libtards, SJWs... AND TURKS? Don't forget fucking Turks... are any here? We must join forces and mod them down you stupid libtard)
Yes, that was not the worse article i read here.
My political views (asked in Greeklish) are not relevant, it's best you judge my remarks on their merits.
You are correct, but we know your political views - you even stated them in the beggining of your comment: "I'm fully aware of your political beliefs which you rightly guessed that I do not espouse"...
The problem in Slashdot is that there are too many non technical articles. I avoid starting conversations with Greeks (in those 2 months i already meet half a dozen), and i directly write to them "lets not continue any discusion between us because we will end up in ante gamisou re malaka, e.t.c", but there many non-Greeks also who have their strong political views act like... Greeks! You will have to tolerate me when i will mention Greeks and barbarians, in the same way i tolerate every stupid Slashdoter with their anti-systemd stupidity. Try to get some mod points to mod me (and fucking Turks! don't forget them malaka) down.
The dude keeps mentioning his nationality at every chance, as if dumb-chance geographical placement at the time you pop out is somehow a point of pride. His choice of quote is the least of his problems.
Also, sharing some geography with a cool civilization that lived a few thousand years before your time, whose accomplishments had absolutely nothing to do with you, does not increase your cachet one iota. Yes, iota is Greek!
Since you are also a Greek (yes you are - i just noticed it), you can understand at least 2 things:
1) (which is the less important) i have serious problems with my English (not like you who your English are very good), and mentioning that i am Greek may hint someone reading my comments that i am not so stupid (i may be of course!), it may be just that i can not express my thoughts as fully as i want.
2) (which is the most important) i am a Greek nationalist (you know: Xrysaygitis!), something that you are not as i understand from your comment... so, out of cultural honesty (and pride) i like mentioning that when we Greeks built Parthenon, barbarians were still hunging from trees, PLUS, that Telly Savalas quote was funny re malaka!
Anyway: mod points - get them... and used them! Isn't how this "Slashdot" thing works? Kai mias kai to sizitame, den mou les kai ti politikes sou thesis?
"A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes."
You might be inclined to read that as a threat, but it isn't. It's a quote from a text which continues like this:
Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which conveniently fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as:
"A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."
The phrase "first against the wall when the revolution comes" (or similar) has a long tradition in expressing complete and utter disagreement. It's much older than the Hitchhiker's Guide from which it is quoted above.
I understand that, but i understand also that the proper authorities must make sure that the message "It's judges like these that will be taken out back and shot." is not a threat - i think that making sure judges (emphasis added!) are not threatened is important for every civilized society.
These have to be considered in a cultural context.
O.K. - so, the proper authorities should find the people who made those comments and consider their culture - right?
The phrase "People like this should be taken out back and shot" is a colloquialism. Really a dysphemism. It may be a jerky, insensitive, and ugly - but there are people who utter that phrase but have never thrown a punch or held a fun in their life.
Who was that English king who said "will no-one rid me of this troublesome priest?" just before some of his knights murder Archbishop of Canterbury?
Even the person who changed "should be" to "will be" is just trying to add emphasis.
I already wrote about that Kojak quote when answered to someone who felt threatened by him: "Greeks... they don't threaten - they utter prophecies!"
The Agammamnon5.3.15 statement above is similar to someone posting "I'm going to ream that guy's asshole so hard he can't walk for a week." If you really take it literally, and look at what they said, that is one of the most horrible awful things a human being could ever say. And yet, it's probably uttered daily by a lot of people talking about their boss or a politician, with no intent of action.
O.K., if you say so - again: the proper authorities should find the people who made those comments and make sure everything is o.k. - right?
Excuse me. You are from the country that "is home to the first advanced civilizations in Europe and is considered the birthplace of Western civilization" (Wikipedia), and the best you can come up with is a Telly Savalas quote? Now, where to begin...
Hah, you may be right, but in my defence: it's not "Telly Savalas"... it's Professor of Phychology Telly Savalas (from an interview in Greek tv - o.k., "it will be all Greek to you", but you can read a translation in the comments)!
An irony... i can't think a way to define "intolerant" without being... intolerant!
My guess is you can't do most things without being intolerant.
I must agree... and i don't have a problem with myself being intolerant, nor anyone else intolerant (except maybe when they are intolerant to me!) - AND i am ultra intolerant to any intolerant "tolerant"...
You "forgot" mentioning in your examples the first two messages:
AgammamonI5.31.15 @ lO:47AMltt
Its judges like these that should be taken out back and shot.
AlanI5.31.15 @ 12:09PMltt
It's judges like these that will be taken out back and shot.
FTFY.
So: "It's judges like these that will be taken out back and shot." - I am Greek, and this makes me think a quote from that Greek actor, Telly Savalas, while playing Kojak and answering to someone who feels threatened by him: "Greeks... they don't threaten - they utter prophecies!"
Oh now I get it, you're one of those Golden Dawn dimwits. Well, how's that working out for you. Let me tell you, the jews, immigrants, whoever you choose to blame, have nothing to do with the fact that you GREEKS have dug yourselves into such a deep hole that no one is willing to help you out any more.
True story from Greece (about Golden Dawn): one of its members is arrested for his anti-immigration activities, and, among other things, he is accused as being an "anti-Semitic"... turns out his mother is Jew, and "magicaly" the prosecutor "forgot" to include him in the trial - he, the half-Greek/half-Jew Golden Dawn member, had no problem been accused, but then the prosecutor could not accuse the rest of the Golden Dawn members as "anti-Semitic"!
Nobody give a fucking shit about your stupid Greek Nazi bullshit.
Isn't a bit pointless to reply to a stupid pointless fucking moron Greek NaZi? Just "don't give a fuck" about my bullshit, and any of your issues with me are solved
I get it now, this is one elaborate troll account.
Well bravo, it took me a while to catch on.
Well, let's not make it so complex, i am just a guy making comments, not an "elaborate troll" - stay tuned and you may catch on some other comments where i will not be so "elaborate" (nor a "troll", even if i will modded as such).
"Intolerant" is defining "intolerant" as: "Intolerant is baking a cake for a person that's on their fourth marriage while refusing to bake one for a lesbian couple that is finally able to marry after twenty years together"...
Passing moral judgement on the act may be intolerant, but providing an example of behavior which is objectively intolerant is not, itself, an intolerant behavior.
I like to read signs! And i'm proud both for your (Score:5, Informative) comment AND the moderators (R.I.P., since i guess that was looong time ago...) - sorry for the off-topic, i wanted to write you about it from the first time i read it.

I can't think why a farmer may need this data,
If you spread it on the fields, it helps the crops grow.
Oh... then we should make sure they are free of any chemicals.
I understand the need for data to become information (and knowledge), but, since the particular data not only are meaningful while examined clustered and in large scale i think but also have an impractical 15.5 mile (25 kilometer) resolution for a farmer (singular), the farmers (plural) must wait some NON-farmer(s) to make the convertion of data to information (and knowledge).

I see only the raw data on the link.

Intolerant is saying "we don't serve your kind round here".
That was a more tolerant definition of "intolerant"!

By mentioning such a phrase of text as that death threat, they should de-anonymize your account as well!!!! lol, that's how these things work.
My God, i think you are right! Well, my defence would be: i am a broke Greek, i could not afford to travel in USA and kill that judge...
1. Says so in your signature already.
