Well, what's worse? Having a president you did not vote for command the murdering of tens of thousands of people, wrecking whole countries? Or that culture minister and that president, that the french have.
What's it called, when you are so used to bad TV, that a not quite as bad show will look to you like the best thing ever? Or when so many people tell you that a movie is great, that it can never match your expectations?
Well, you have a complicated way or explaining the age-old rule, that everything is allowed, except that which hurts others. But what hurts others has to be determined. Which should be a decision of everybody in the group/community. Unfortunately, nowadays, those groups are way too big for getting even close to everybody agreeing to something. But the laws are created anyway. First only for the protection of those who created them. And then also for the profit of those.
But the fact still is, and no matter what any law book or lawyer says will always be, that if you did not hurt anybody (eg there is nobody who can prove to be hurt), then you did nothing wrong. The best example of this are things you do to your own body. Because you have ultimate rights over your body. Who would be hurt except you? ^^
The whole system is so fucked up that it's more moral to ignore the laws and live by your own moral codex. Which normally is way better for everyone. Besides: It's sad how many people have no own concept of right and wrong. Not even any own reality or self-confidence at all. They think it's wrong to teach children that it's OK to pass a road when the light is red, when there is no car for a mile in every direction on a straight road. They prefer having them act like bots, clinging to fixed rules, but never ever understanding their intentions, standing for minutes on that red light with no car in sight, wasting their life away.
(Maybe one could add, that as the saying goes: Good people already know what's right and wrong. And bad people don't care about laws anyway.:)
Of course those in power support that attitude of ignoring the intentions of laws, or knowing yourself what is right and wrong, because that way, they can tell the people their own views and they will eat and accept them without questioning. Which makes them easily controllable slaves without knowing it.
I think the separation of the aristocrats and the rest never ended. It just became stealthy.
You mean more illegal than monitoring the entire population through cameras and microphones, while already having everybody and his dog being able to access them right now?
Are you seriously stating that losing privacy is no oppressive element? It's actually a world where everybody can oppress everybody else, because he knows something about that person, that was meant to be private.
Privacy and even lies are an essential part of our society. Without them, social life as we know it, breaks down and becomes impossible. So much do we know on the scientific side.
If you eat candy as a replacement for love, you are more likely to be violent because of a lack of love.
Just a theory. And one way of many. But I've seen it too often, that a addiction, being itself a replacement for something else you need, does mean that when you don't get it, you become desperate and do things that you normally would not do. Not specifically violence. More like when you destroy everything around you because you can't stand the situation. (Similar to rage.)
We should be clear about those two things: 1. Candy is a likely candidate for addictions. 2. Addictions always are a replacement for a lack of something else. So find that something else, and help the person get that stuff so much, that they forget the addiction because they don't need it anymore.
For children, this usually is the lack of good parents. (I said for a long time, that social and parenting skills must be an essential skill you learn in a class in school! [Which for the second generation will mean that they also learn it from their now capable parents at home.])
Seriously, business dress codes are the dumbest thing that ever got to that spineless "monkey see, monkey do" "culture" we call business employee.
Nobody needs it, nobody wants it, and everybody who wears it, looks like he's following the dress code of a Chinese communist movement where everybody has to dress the same. The worst sign of despair is the "Please hang me right now! I'm just a slave in the big machine of bureaucracy. My life is completely meaningless!" tie. You're practically the walking dead when you wear it. You just don't know it yet.
And Portage was why I chose Gentoo. It has some features that Ports hasn't (Paludis and others are even better), but still has what Ports is loved for.
Actually ZFS has made it to Linux, as I'm currently using it for my archive disks. It's implemented as FUSE. But it's eating crazy amounts of CPU and memory. An example: It can easily take one of two cores and 600 MB RAM, in normal usage. (It's worth it, as I have data where I absolutely can't tolerate bit errors, and where RAID and backups simply aren't enough.)
Ok, I wanted to link to a comment in a previous story here, where someone complained about everything being "cyber-" this and "cyber-" that, and that it makes you sound like it came from the 80s. I answered, that he then might not like my new "CyberCyber Virtu@l e-Cloud Turbo CoolClick iNetExplorer 2000 XFX GTX - Ultimate Social Web 2.0 Gold Edition"... or something like that.
But strangely, the comment vanished from the face of the net. I searched Google, and even manually went trough all recent articles here containing "cyber". Especially "cybercyber". It's gone! How can that happen? Anyone care to explain, or find it, even if it's OT? Because this is really strange...
More so, to OPEN YOUR MOUTH when decompressing. And keep your mouth extremely dry! Because else, the pressure in your lungs will blast you. And the water in your mouth (essentially the athmosphere you talked about) will freeze to stone. But afterwards, you can easily survive for 30 seconds. Your skin will just begin to swell. But return to normal once inside again.
The biggest problem would rather be radiation, and of course the breathing. But I can hold my breath for two minutes. So I'd actually not be *that* frightened about shortly being exposed no naked space while being "naked". Just have to get in again.
There is a NASA FAQ where I got that information from. As someone actually already tried that. (Man, you must have balls to be the first to just try that without knowing what will happen! But hey, same thing is true about sitting on a huge rocket and blasting to another planet in the first place!!)
Your fault, for still reading the comments. While nowadays everyone else just reads the subjects, and then post an answer. But we're planning to also change the comment language to perl, and make it write-only.
In Germany, they "fixed" things, by simply modifying grammar to be closer to the most common errors students made in the last years. So now "they are no errors anymore". Wait for nature to invent even bigger idiots, and for them to "fix" the language again.
The rule is: If the students are becoming too dumb (500 words is "larger than life"?? hello? do they mean "mentally challenged life"?): Lower the bar.
It worked well for evolution of humanity, so it will work well for education too. Oh, wait...
2015, the year, where the concept of a desktop is forgotten, and everyone plays with tiny tiny colorful clickable "mobile" devices with tons of blinkenlights on them.
At least that's what every "futurologist"* predicts, and thousands of "media" parrots of all colors croak through the ether.
Oh, and every server will be a tiny "blade" made out of even tinier "bladelets" which itself will be made out of flat versions of those colorful clickables.
So it's the same as with the drugs of the pharma industry. You actually want to prevent a disease, but all they ever offer you, is to ignore your problems by treating the symptoms only. So that the next time, you can make the same mistake. And that as soon as you stop taking their meds, you're sick again. (On "good" meds even sicker than you were before.)
<italian mafia accent>Umm... about your subject: Need a bag of English? We've got some on sale. With nice words like "be" and "affected". We even have a special today, where we include a whole capital letter "J" for free! Only $5! Beautiful fonts! Nice kerning! Buy now, before it's too late! </italian mafia accent>
Well, in Germany, electronic signatures issued by your bank are valid signatures for contracts and the like. So you can actually sign an e-mail, send it to a government office, and they have to accept it as if it were a physical letter with signature.
Of course, if you really try that, they will fail, and if you're lucky ask you what that was, instead of ignoring it as an "error". But you *can* sue to enforce it being accepted. But you would have to actually sue. Because they would ignore or not believe that they have to comply and that you would sue otherwise.
I personally accept these digital signatures in my business.

Or that culture minister and that president, that the french have.
You decide.
Joke's on you anyway.
P.S.: Protip: I'd go with both ;)
What's it called, when you are so used to bad TV, that a not quite as bad show will look to you like the best thing ever? Or when so many people tell you that a movie is great, that it can never match your expectations?
In this case, are they really honoring him for not being a obvious visible piece of criminal shit, like that one before? I can only say, what Chris Rock said: "[They] always want some credit for some things they are supposed to do. [...] [Like] 'I take care of my kids'... You're supposed to, you dumb motherfucker!". (Obama does not want it, but they give it to him for the same reasons.)
Long long iz looooong!
Well, where can I get the original source? I mean the model. I'd like to do some code checking. :P
Presidency of the police department of course. ;)
Oh and: What false positives?
I'm doing it since I am 13. So there you go... :/

Well, I also searched for the comment that I answered to. So I should at least be able to find that one, shouldn't I? :)
Because I could not find it anymore, of course. I'm way too lazy to write all that stuff out without a good reason for it. :P
