The security services uncovered a series of email exchanges between Hicheur and an alleged al-Qaeda member called Mustapha Debchi.
OK, Alleged. Someone alleged to be part of the Al-Qaeda. Why would that be a crime?
After his arrest in 2009 police found a large quantity of Islamist literature at his parents' home.
This is utterly ridiculous! What the fuck? Where is his religious freedom? I'm atheist as fuck, but if this dude had Christian literature it wouldn't have even garnered attention. Fuck everything about this.
What's a sure-fire way to make sure your son abandons your sexist culture and marries someone from a different background who wont abort her female fetuses? Create a lack of women in your culture for them to date.
You forget about a second child being a daughter.
Second children as daughters is what I've heard referred to as "King's choice" (son to inherit, daughter to marry away)
Uncle Owen: "What I really need is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators."
C-3PO: "Vaporators? Sir, my first job was programming binary load lifters very similar to your vaporators in most respects."
It's simply easier to tell people not to eat certain foods with a religious "because God says so" if you cannot really explain it to them sensibly, lacking the scientific means to explain bacteria and parasites.
How about "It'll most likely make you sick." It's not sensible at all to say "magic", and never was - it's an easy, unthinking cop out, and that's the only description that's valid. I'm not trying to argue with you here, I just want you to think outside what the religious nuts are pushing down your throat.
"Morals" are nothing but a convention dictated by society.
I agree with this to a point - if you hadn't grown up in a society, I think you would still have morals. I think there are certain morals it's likely that everyone in the world has - this implies to me either 1) there is a higher order of morality or 2) we all have the same morals, and immorality is a convention dictated by society.
It would (hopefully) still contain the parts about not killing, stealing and lying.
To be fair, I doubt very much those are the parts that made these religions successful. The horrible "kill others" message that is prevalent throughout these "holy" texts is what has allowed religions to fester and build up like a boil on society's ass - those that preached peace and tolerance would very quickly fall away to religions that preached intolerance with physical violence.
So, biologically, I should go over to my neighbor that I hardly speak to, bash his head in and take what was his
What?? No! That's not biological at all! We are as social as we are familial - it's likely someone who is perhaps not a friend today may become one tomorrow and aid in social/economic/biological needs in the future. This is best practise. i.e. maybe your neighbour will become your brother in law some day?
its morals are usually rooted in a religious background
I dislike this argument. Where is there proof that this is true? Who says the morals written in "holy texts" didn't exist before the "holy" texts? Just because it's an old document in which ignorant peasants attempted to codify some morality doesn't mean that the morals weren't there beforehand.
I just want you to consider that religions haven't really given us anything beyond what we may already have had except for perhaps being a foil for certain art, literature, or perhaps, philosophy, and even then, it's questionable that we wouldn't have had those without religion anyway.
I can imagine an unscrupulous government sending our people out to face an anonymous enemy in space for "global security" but ultimately being population control. Heck, the enemy doesn't even have to be real, does it.;)
Well, you're looking at the board from a different point of view than the developers of RaspberryPi - they wanted this thing DIRT CHEAP so any school could buy one - broadcom I think worked out a deal with them so they could keep costs down.
That's the biggest pile of horseshit I've ever heard. If the laws make it such that helping to protect your fellow citizens from negligence is a criminal affair, then you guys need to re-examine your laws.
How the hell is making your OS behave the way your customers expect anti-competitive?
What if MS made their OS inherently secure, such that it didn't need AV? Would that also make it anti-competitive? That would completely eliminate the AV software companies!
fraternties and sororities because some emo pussies might get their feelings hurt if they don't get a bid?
Fraternities/sororities are bullshit. We don't have them in Canada and that's the way it should be everywhere. There are no benefits, there is nothing positive about them except to party like an animal. Is that really what University is for? Pretty expensive party if you think so.
Not everyone needs to use more than one OS at a time, in fact I bet the percentage of people who *do* need to use more than one OS at a time is less than the percentage of Linux users in the world. And we all know how much support linux users get. If you want it you gotta build it.
If you buy the game used or second hand, you might as well buy it pirated - the nobility of purchasing it is gone - none of that money is going to the original distributors. Unless you can purchase the game *directly* from the copyright holders you might as well pirate the game.
Is this supporting terrorists or supporting stockholders?
They're the same in my opinion. No regard for people, only there for a "higher" cause which originates from some ideology.
It could be that when NASA is taking their images with a Satellite, they are making sure the sun is behind their satellite, thus ensuring that any shadows cast by the sun will not appear to the satellite..
Has anyone else recorded a full five years of development including the surrounding environment and parental units? I think this is useful in learning cognition and child development specifically because it can corroborate or negate current models of child development. (I am not associated with this field) Just because it confirms a lot of hypotheses doesn't mean that makes it useless:)
Not to mention he seems to have come up with a novel way to relate the data. Apparently he wants to use this in other fields as well.
RSS feeds eliminate all the fancy pants stuff. Just use one of those. I'm sure there's a CLI RSS reader out there..
In my opinion, a redesign for slashdot has been long in the coming.

Two billion dollars for a photo sharing social network with no business model /facepalm.
It's not the tech he's buying.

There is, of course, one caveat - stealing is wrong if OSS divas don't get recognition.

It's not private information. Divorce records are public. All the things I have read on that twitter account are PUBLIC record.
Who cares if the IP is from the house of commons? It's just highlighting his hypocrisy.
It's a terrible state of affairs when our hope is for large corporations to shed some light to our government.
The best way to find an answer to this is to ask in the raspi forums here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum

It might be to help out with the +1 thing that google's doing.

1kW, not 1MW.
I cannot find anywhere where it says kW and not MW. Look at the Youtube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUXXGbNS8oY&feature=player_embedded
Look at this site linked to from TFA: http://hackedgadgets.com/2011/03/07/diy-pulse-laser-gun/
All signs currently point to 1 MW, except to one comment on hackaday. Can you tell me where you got the kW information?

We also throw a nickel at the rookie Windows sys admins and tell them, "Here's a nickel. Get a real operating system, kid."
Actually, it costs less than that :)
