> No, and I think you would have a hard time proving that such an extreme was the 'norm' or even relatively common in Biblical times.
So, you're proving my point. The bible tells us to:
If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear, and be afraid.
(Deut. 21:18-21)
But we don't. Ergo, we don't derive our morals from the bible.
> This is why Christians are not supposed to stone people for breaking the Sabbath
But you are agreeing that it was moral for certain groups of people to stone people who break the Sabbath?
What, like Jesus saying to follow the Old Testament?
"The Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35).
He referred to Scripture as "the commandment of God" (Matthew 15:3) and as the "Word of God" (Matthew 15:6). And not to mention: "Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished" (Matthew 5:18).
The bible says whatever you want it to. You can pick and chose paragraphs to get whatever morals you want.
And even if we say that New Testament doesn't change things - you're still saying that in the old days it would have been perfectly moral and correct to stone your children.
Plus, it seems more moral if an atheist does something good because it's the right thing to do, compared to a religious person doing something good because they are afraid of burning in hell if they don't.
Richard Dawkins had a chapter on ethics, and I think he puts across a very convincing argument.
At the risk of mis-summarising, the basic idea is:
1) Humans everywhere of all religions have pretty much the same set of ethics. 2) The bible has lots of 'ethics' that we don't follow. We don't stone our children for disagreeing with us, we don't treat women as property, and so on. Even Jesus treated women as second class citizens, yet most christians are above that.
The most logical conclusion from these two bits of information is that ethics is a mixture of nature and nuture, and that we impose our ethics on shaping religion, and choosing the parts of the religion that we wish to believe in based on our ethics. Rather than the other way round.
Okay, so the IDE lets you search all files. Just like doing:
git grep someword
How do I now use the IDE to search all the files.. in all of time? e.g. I remember that the code once had a certain string somewhere, but it seems to have been deleted. How do I find that? With git it's a single command.
> This for instance is not something you do while the IDE is open
Then that pretty much rules using an IDE. It's crazy to imagine opening and closing an IDE every few minutes just because I want to backport my fixes to a different branch, or bisect to find a bug, etc.
Even plain old GDB lets you view raw types just by writing macros to display things however you want. Hell, it even has python scripting support, so you can go crazy with it.
I really like the intelliSense etc as an idea. But in practice the whole IDE thing gets in my way.
IntelliSense does let me write code faster, but I find that I don't spend most of the day actually typing in code as fast as I can. I spend a large amount of time using git (revision control tool) on the command line, or debugging and profiling the app, using strace, nm and other command line tools, and so on. The IDE really gets in my way most of the time.
If I switch between branches or revisions (which I do often - git is so wonderful) then IDEs tend to go haywire as hundreds of files suddenly change, and then change again and again..
So, I stick to vim. I know there's ctags etc but I don't even bother with that. After a while I tend to just remember most of the API anyway.
During inflation, The universe increased in size by a factor of 10^26. That is, it became 100000000000000000000000000 times larger in just 10^-12 of a second. That is _much_ faster than the speed of light.
As for zero mass? Well, there certainly wasn't any rest-mass in the universe at that time since it's much too hot for such things to form. Other people have already addressed the 'therefore' part. We pretty much say that everything just stands still, and the universe expands underneath it. Like ants on a balloon.
If it's on the other side of the observable universe, then we'd see the huge energies given off as it collides with normal matter. You'd have to have a boundary where there is normal matter on one side and anti-matter on the other. That boundary would be hugely energetic.
If you mean outside of the observable universe, then it couldn't have gotten there from here, by definition of observable universe.
There isn't really a limit. You just get closer and closer to t=0. The big bang timeline goes roughly (listing the time when the mentioned period _ends_):
10^-43 seconds - Planck epoch - this is where we need string theory etc. The universe is expanding really really really fast. Frigging fast. This is called 'inflation' 10^-36 seconds - Grand unification epoch - this is where gravity starts to become seperate from the other forces 10^-12 seconds - The really-really-really-frigging-fast inflation is now over. We've now just got the normal expansion.
--- WE ARE HERE WITH THE LHC --- 10^-6 seconds - Higgs particles are now able to give particles mass. But too hot for quarks to combine into protons etc. 1 second - Quarks have now formed into protons etc 10 seconds - anti-matter is now annihalted somehow. All the protons etc have been created. 20 minutes - Hydrogen etc is formed. We now have real atoms! (Nucleosynthesis)
99.9% of the world's population is, well, the bottom 99.9% of the world. We're talking about the very smartest and most gifted people. The sort that shouldn't be happy if they do not achieve something.
It's a similar argument as to whether soldiers should do what they are told only. If a soldier disobeys an order because that order goes against their conscience, is that a bad soldier?
31,000 euro for a _kernel_ developer?? Probably closer to 3 times that. I know it's an average, but do you really think the maintainer of a memory system, or the scsi stack, etc are worth less than 6 figures?

Well I interpret "source code" to mean that you don't have to ship a computer..

Source code, not hardware.
It doesn't emulate a platform API. It implements a platform API.
The income gap is a pretty meaningless number, as your own link eludes to.

The catholic church are desperately trying to become our teachers. Unfortunately they misheard what they are supposed to do:

A warp drive wouldn't work by increasing forward momentum. Such an approach wouldn't work, because you wouldn't be able to go faster than c.
Sorry for the delay.

I wouldn't take the new scientist too seriously. They take a single scientist's "what-if" and then run with it as if it is real news.
If it's on the other side of the observable universe, then we'd see the huge energies given off as it collides with normal matter. You'd have to have a boundary where there is normal matter on one side and anti-matter on the other. That boundary would be hugely energetic.

Yes, I kinda over-simplified to the point of being wrong. It is as you say.
