You can even do functional programming or not. That's why Python is my favorite scripting language. For full-blown programs I mainly use OCaml and Haskell. OCaml is really great for games, because it's faster than C++, allows interpretation (scripts), compilation to byte-code, and to the cpu, and allows functional, object oriented, imperative and declarative programming with strict typing like Haskell. OpenGL, SDL and everything is available.
It is NOT stealing! Stealing is when the original owner does not have it anymore, and he has an actual loss. In this case there is no loss, because it 1. got copied, and 2. given no choice but to buy it or not to buy it, the person who copied it would not have bought it in nearly 100% of the cases (the rest are crooks who really steal real things).
There are enough companies that produce "industrial" diamonds for many uses. They can also produce diamonds the size of the largest found diamonds. And they nowadays have such a high quality, that the sole thing that lets you detect the difference, is that natural diamonds have more errors in them.
Industrial diamonds cost next to nothing compared to natural diamonds. But De Beers & co want you to believe that natural diamonds are somewhat special, while even real natural diamonds are not that rare at all.
If you want to buy real rare stones as a gift, buy rubies, sapphires, emeralds, opals and the like. Or naturally colored diamonds (black, red maybe?). They are fuckin' expensive. But here it's because they are really rare.
I for one, do not buy something like that at all. There's no real value in rare stones for me, and if I don't want to sell them to someone who thinks they are valuable...
I like to buy personal gifts. And I like to only buy gifts, if the person does not expect a gift. Otherwise it's nothing special anymore.
Does not matter. McGyver can always build another stargate out of a roll of tinfoil, a bowl of vinegar/oil salad sauce, a golden hairpin, and some dust.
Oh, and I forget one detail: The couch smelled like pussy and girl sweat for more than two weeks after this. Every time I sat down on it, I got goosebumps or a shiver. I wonder what my guests thought tough.;)
Mine actually did. Unfortunately I was sleeping in the room next door.
Why do I know this? Because one of the girls actually told me about the hot girl-on-girl action (rubbing pussies against each other), and showed me the scratches from fingernails on her back.
If only I would have left the web cam recording it, or gone to the toilet at night...
The worst thing is that I do not even make this up. *cries*
So when did you *eat* meat the last time? Or eggs? Or anything else living?
Abortion is forbidden in Germany, if the child is already sentient above a certain level. Sure, that level is different for everyone. Remember: There is to "sentient" or "non-sentient". It's a huge gradient.
I think it's the decision of the woman. With 6 billion (=milliard) people, and soon 10 billion (=milliard) humans on this planet, life is overrated by far. (I specifically do not exclude myself here!)
And I specifically do not "forbid" you to have another opinion or think I'm stupid in any way. I just use my right so say, others are.;)
Seriously. Esther Dyson? EDventure Holdings? Never heard of them. Who cares what he has to say?
Sounds like slashvertisement...
Let my try this too:
I'm Carl Ranseier from CRapload Holdings, an I think that EDventure Holdings are completely irrelevant and that internet anonymity is the only reason the Internet exists as it is.
Hmm... as far as I know, they would have ended up like India, if they did not reduce their population's growth. But i think, two children would make more sense.
When their number falls too fast, be sure that they will stop the policy, and "recommend" as much children as possible. They only have to have the resources for this first. Which seems to work pretty well, when you see how they practically bought the USA and the OPEC countries.
If you know anything about neural networks, and that their whole storage, and thereby their whole structure, is dependent on all previous input, you know that this is bullshit.
They would have to re-work the whole tuning process for every brain, and partially also for two scans that have a certain time-distance, thereby making the whole thing completely useless, except for demonstration purposes.
Or in simple As long as they are not able to learn to know you very well, and feed this data to their software, there's no chance they can ever get any useful data out of your brain. Oh, and it is highly likely, that they change the brain so much in that process (trough having to feed it so much test/comparison data), that the only reliable stuff they can extract, is the test data they fed it before.
I for one will not buy me a tinfoil hat because of this.
The point is, that the original suspicion - the one they got the warrant for - is completely made up and fake. Our whole law system is set up in a way, that there always is something you did "wrong". Always. That's the basic idea of laws nowadays.
So the trick is, that they can put anyone to jail if he does not fit their agenda.
It's like a mafia you can bribe. They will go, make up some "suspicion", search your house, find some obscure thing that's in law book 5000, paragraph 9574 section v, subsection 385, (that of course "every citizen has to inform himself about"), and put you to jail. Same thing with the terms and conditions of contracts. Deliberately written so that you can't understand it, in tiny fonts, on 20 separate pages, that you first have to download on "www.companysite.com" (notice the omission of a direct link). If they can fuck you, they will.
It's the rule of power like in the times where people still used clubs to beat each other. It's just better hidden nowadays.
You're still too far in the extreme other side, because you're assuming a dichotomy where there is none.
The warranty/support should cover everything that's related to the hardware. For example, if you change the boot-loader, and then the display dies for some other reason, or the firmware has a bug, then Google definitely has to do support or fix it. This is another kind of support than the support for a phone's OS. But of course, the companies, as always, cheat the way out of that too. Even if it's illegal. The buyer does not know this and will not check if it's really allowed.
You have no fuckin' clue what you are talking about!
Russia invaded countries in the 70s and 80s, to integrate them into the Soviet Union. The US, being in the "cold" war with them, could not stand Russia growing and growing. So because they could not fight a direct war, the gave weapons and resources to the "freedom fighters" (Mujaheddin) of Afghanistan. Of course the weapons were welcome help. But not the strings that were attached to it. My father, and my uncles, were Mujaheddin. Not because they liked it, but because it was the only choice.
So the US and Russia fought wars all around Asia, in the so-called "cold war". At the cost of our lives! It had nothing to do with "freeing" anything. And still today it never has. Or do you seriously still think, invading Iraq had anything to do with freedom? You don't even understand the system of power down there! People there have hierachies of trust. Created in centuries, and solid as a rock. If you create a parliament down there, what you get, is the chiefs of the largest tribes (or their straw men) being the parliament, and everybody voting for what the chiefs say. Because they are - in a way - the head of the larger family. You will not change this fact for the next century.
Same thing with Afghanistan.
<troll>Arrogant assholes like you, sitting in their corn fields, on their farms in kentucky, eating squirrels (*hint* stereotype *hint*) an praying to the $deity of their schizophreny, are the human crap, that give this once great nation called the USA that dirty look of a fundamentalist theocracy full of lazy retards. Go leave the USA and make your own Elbonia-Texas-Alaska crossover third world country! </troll>

The point is, that this was not the point.
Else he would have written a scientific paper.
DDoS attacks? Are you serious? That translates to "group rape"...

I'm sorry. I meant:

Why would I or my child want to become a servant (=useful) of a society of retards?
I still prefer my own genetics and I ideas to spread and win over everything else. ;)
I just have no problem to die if I lose because they were better.
So I am useful to what helps me. Which includes friends or renewable resources that help me when I help them. But excludes everything else.
So come over for a little fight. It's a much better way than jumping off a cliff, don't ya think. :)
You would have to fly to Germany tough.

Now what language is that? ;)
