Islam isn't a person and thus cannot be violent at all. Islam is a bunch of words and ideas.
Now there are places where some "less enlightened" people are in power and one of the bases for their power as well as their beliefs happen to be islamic in nature.
Seeing as christianity offers similar words on which similar legislature could be created it is nothing but a coincidence that it isn't the western world that is born from islam and african, arab and asian regions that are dealing with a cancerous interpretation of the bible.
What you need to do is accept that these countries are, in fact, fundamentalist. You need to accuse Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other nations DIRECTLY and not go through the strawman of religion in order to not offend your own: The religion of "Oh goodness me, I am certainly NOT a racist!"
Just stand by your opinion that some people are not as culturally developed as others (or let's say they have other cultural weaknesses than we do). It is a very valid opinion to have, you'll just have to defend from SJWs or be able to ignore the lot.
It's the same thing everybody else does just polished to a higher shine.
What exactly about this will make it more usable, more versatile or give us new possibilities?
Look, wake me when somebody makes a phone that won't start acting strange between a year and a year and a half in (hey, if you make it stop working at exactly two years it would make me less annoyed, if we're clear about the matter from the start), that lets me brwose the web like on my desktop (meaning LET ME FUCKING CHANGE THE FUCKING USER AGENT!!!) and lets me input text with something other than this braindead concept of touching my screen.
I mean come on, if somebody touches your monitor at work, don't you want to strangle them? Aren't we fans of the old IBM clackedy clack keyboards to the point we're paying premium for mechanical keyboards? And yet we think touching our screens to input text, with no tactile feedback, is somehow okay?
I want a phone for an IT guy, that makes remoting into a server not a pain in the fucking ass....
We voted to not build new ones. We didn't vote to turn the current ones off. So we get exactly what we voted for. I'm not seeing the problem you seem to be having with this.
In my opinion, what closed the deal on this vote wasn't Fukushima.
We are currently close to shutting one of the five down due to age anyway. I believe it's one of the oldest reactor types in service currently (and I'm talking worldwide). Suddenly the company operating it says "Uh, no, we haven't prepared any funds for decommissioning the plant. That's your job!"
So not only is this whole thing a bit questionable security-wise, unless done absolutely right, it just goes to show that the private entities operating these things do not want or are not able to handle the responsibility involved. So after paying them for power for decades, now we're gonna have to foot the bill for cleaning them up, too.
And THAT pissed a lot of people off, I'm sure.
While I am pro modern nukes, I don't think they make sense in private hands and anyway, I find decentralized power generation to be much more secure in a variety of ways.
Not primarily. First, the municipalities the plants pay taxes in obviously like the low tax footprint.
And second we've gotten used to the plants. Simple as that.
Personally, I have wanted current reactors shut down for a long time to be replaced by new, modern ones. Since that had not even a snowball's chance in hell, I still want these old things shut down so here we are.
We don't have coal plants. We do import power from Germany and France, though, so we will continue to use nuclear and coal power in the future to pad our production holes a bit.
Right, and electric lighting sure didn't make it far because no real estate owner wanted to spend the money wiring their houses...
When you have trouble renting your stuff out because people keep looking at you funny when you say there is not charging option in the parking lot, it's not gonna take long to install charging stations.
Especially when you have pretty centralized and large car parking, the cost can be more easily spread over the apartments/houses. Then you raise rent a fraction.
It has always worked that way and it will keep on working that way for quite some time.
Excuse me! I happen to like sexual topics and I find it very offensive that you would call that interest of mine reprehensible.
Seriously, though, it depends on the company you are in. If the people around you are okay with it, then I see no problem at all. The question here is how realistically was the company's attitude represented to the employees during their job interview.
I am not trying to gauge the chances of this being the case, however there is a chance of some people being okay with that and now trying to get their hands on a bit of cash after some falling out.
And before you find above post problematic as well. I find peculiar that they exclude single men not because I expect sexism but because I expect at the ratio of homelessness of men to others, that they'd probably be overrun with men if they didn't explicitly forbid them.
I expect there'd be an interesting problem leading to that rule. Every rule has a story.
Well, I think you'd have a leg to stand on if there were about another 10 kinds of people this shelter did not try to help. As it stands, this shelter helps EVERYONE, EXCEPT single men.
'Scuse me if I find THAT peculiar.
Meanwhile, I don't think you got the idea behind the satirical joke I made. I'm neither saying we're not helping men enough. I also didn't say this institution should help single men. If you reread my post you'll find I haven't made a statement toward these questions.
It was a perciflage on extremist feminism. Nothing more and nothing less.
Why? Because morals? I disagree wholeheartedly! It is my job as a parent to prepare my kids for life in this world. Temptation is a constant part of that. Learning to indulge and then stop at the right moment can be an invaluable skill. Also analyzing odds and trying to predict outcomes hones the mind. Not to mention that gambling is fun. And last but not least, abstinence has never solved any problem in this world ever, because abstinence is a pipe dream. It's like abandoning all research into power generation other than a perpetuum mobile.
The amount of factoids accumulated in my brain due to googling everything is greater than ever before!;)
Seriously, though, I don't want to give up my smartphone. There's a lot of waiting to be done on a normal day (you mentioned some examples) and I really see no difference in reading an article that doesn't really interest me in a magazine and browsing 9gag.
It's a way to pass time. Don't tell me you always keep something "new to learn" handy whenever you stand in line somewhere or are waiting for transportation. I, on the other hand, HAVE actually learned something worthwhile by using my smartphone. Once in a while it does happen.
Being able to reach people at any given moment and be reachable in turn has been valuable countless times. I'd say much more so than it has been annoying.
Privacy is a thing of the past anyway. You'd have to live in a cave far away from civilisation and be forgotten by all your friends and family and still they'd probably manage to send you spam mail.
If you like your mobile-phone deprived lifestyle, hey, good for you! I like my smartphone enabled one as well. I would appreciate it if you didn't act like an arrogant prick over it.
First, it's a machine so the word to use would be vandalism and not bullying. Second, three incidents in several years doesn't exactly sound like a real problem to me, especially considering they seem to have more than one unit deployed. And third, who thinks it's a good idea to vandalize something that has cameras, honestly!
Well, if my flashlight app wants to open a listening port on the network, that in and of itself seems fishy to me. Furthermore, the more services are listening for connections, the higher the chance that one of them is badly coded and will allow an attacker to get access to my data.
Going by the name of the show you mention, I'm not sure whether it's more to do with sitting on the couch, the things you eat or your subconscious using suicide to get away from the shit you're exposing your brain to;).

Are you sure you are important enough as a person to warrant that much effort?

...we know why their webapp works so crappily on mobile browsers. Get the idiots to use the apps, which basically want root access.

Thank you :).
So what y'all are saying is that this is Trumps very own Reichskristallnacht?
As a homeless man you're only worth something if there's a family attached to you.
Isn't male privilege great!
Why? Because morals?
I disagree wholeheartedly!

The naming scheme wasn't convoluted enough so far?
Running anything adobe as root seems... Unwise.

I gave TFA a cursory glance only, so sorry if ghis has been answered.
How large is this thing?
And I assume the water it produces is akin to distilled water. Isn't that bad to drink?
