    Natural selection
    Perhaps the most radical claim of the theory of evolution through natural selection is that "elaborately constructed forms, so different from each
    other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner"

  7. There is corruption everwhere on Will the Next Election Be Hacked? · · Score: 0

    Corruption is everwhere fat cats are used to paying, to get there own way so why should an election be any different.
    Generally they know less than 50% of any country bother to vote, so they only have to get or fake aleast 25% of votes buy what ever means.

    1) Get all the armed forces votes in as there pretty much guanrenteed to stick for the same.
    2) Forget about any votes from ghettos where people from racial or ethnic background are united as a group, voluntarily or involuntarily.
    3) Wait for election, should be a win/win situation.
    4) If you have any problems throw large amounts of cash and heavy boy in the competions direction.

    Elections are just like wars, nowadays.
    Democracy only ever works for people who are willing to walk around with a stick up there arse, pretending there urban dream is not a nightmare.

  8. To encourage you must inspire. on How to Encourage Use of OSS? · · Score: 0

    Create and Inspire.

    Supply the inspiration/reason.
    I have tryed to help encourage people to use or move linux with little or no success
    Most of the success i have had is from showing a the creation GNU/Linux/Ubuntu on my laptop, letting them use the system applications browser/office/game ... then after that only answer the questions they have, stop ramming stuff down there throat. GNU linux free/open source are a community and at the same time it is a very intimate relations between your ethics and most basic principles, this experience/lifestyle can label you as a geek/nerd computy type, and that is out of the question for most society folk, it could mean actually having an opinion.

    The GNU / Debian / Ubuntu philosophy in should be a good enough reason for people to make a shift in culture, but alot of people do not care for ethics or simply do not understand the need, even if you explain reasons.

    Good luck,
    rule 1: Do not hassle hoff the potential linux victim, mimic a coiled cobra and wait for the question then pounce.
    rule 2: Remove your cobra outfit and answer the question, without core dumping on the victim.
    rule 3: Refer to rule 1

    Take the 'military' to court, im sure it would be very easy to swing everthing in the militarys favour and make the project leaders out to be extremists with un nationalistic ideologies im sure this is not the case, but this would not wash in a court room, even with an bearded bloke called Richard Stallman.

  16. Just another day in a police state. on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1, Informative

    Personally i am very secptical about the amount of spin that are put on these "events".

    Quote
    Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson of Scotland Yard on today's anti-terrorist operation.

    "We believe that the terrorists' aim was to smuggle explosives onto aeroplanes in hand luggage and to detonate these in flight."
    "We also believe that the intended targets were flights from the United Kingdom to the United States of America."

    Well the Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson of Scotland Yard is definitely a believer

    I do not trust the uk/us government or the uk/us police, and these vague statments only make me wonder if all this terrorist $hit is just hype, and if both goverments have a self harming problem, that they are using as an excuse to force there ideals and actively pursue them as goals.

    Just my 50 pence
