What do you suggest if: * - Our Senators & Representatives are bought off / unreachable. * - Our voting machines are rigged and we're unable to vote them out of office. * - While being monitored, we have no means of collaboration and organization to form a revolution. * - Were a revolution organized, we have no weapons of any signifigance to mount an effective revolution.
Commit murder-suicide on your family because there's no hope?
"I don't think a Red Ryder BB rifle would make a good present for you. They are very dangerous and you'll put your eye out. Now, don't you agree that you should think of another gift idea?"
Meanwhile, the Harley riders, while probably a bit above the speed limit, have more opportunity to enjoy the scenery, and I think end up being more relaxed upon arrival.
You've smoked a bit too much exhaust gas.
Enjoying the scenery and being relaxed on arrival means one thing: Honda Gold Wing.
Perhaps this is more of a survival trait in humans than a superiority in chimps. Growing up, there were a lot of things I needed to know HOW to do which were too complex for me to understand WHY at the time. Too, I emulate my parents' culture, often without a conscious reason, perhaps because their culture has allowed them to succeed.
This was pretty much my first thought, too, when I read the article: So this is how/why man formed religion...
You're saying that hard disks in HP/Compaq or IBM servers have proprietary, vendor specific firmware? Do you have any references to back this up?
This definitely used to happen. DEC was notorious for it. Vendor lock-in, dontcha know, under the guise of "reliability assurance". Their pre-commodity stuff was durable as basalt, though.
Businesses like Compaq & Sun were cheaper, though, partly because they used commodity parts. Maybe they changed, though, after they "grew up" and went Enterprise.
Maybe you are looking for the abortion clinic bombers and doctor murderers
Tell us how often someone shoots an abortion doctor, or blows up a clinic. What, once every 3 years or so?
Then, tell us how often a Palestinian blows him/herself up in Israel. Once a month, or so. Much more frequently. And that's not even mentioning the human bombings in Iraq.

You don't want to go around talking like that, special branch and MI5 will be at you door before you know it.
Move to the USA. You can say/write/publish all sorts of nasty things about W/Cheney/Rumsfeld and no one will touch you.
Just don't advocate harm to them. Then you might get sent to Guantanimo....
I hear they still have a few remaining civil liberties here.
Like the recommendation by the former Ontario Attorney General that sharia be allowed as the law in family courts?
Thank Atheism your post was modded funny!

You've never seen A Christmas Story, have you?
I've yet to see an IT company last for more than 2 years.
Jeez, that's pathetic. I've been working for the same company now for 11 years.
If you must discipline a child by hitting them, do it on a part of their body that doesn't contain any major organs.
The brain is protected by the skull.
Unfortunately, it won't protect the brain from a full male adult strike.
Fortunately, I don't do that!!!
Give me a little credit for knowing how to not to damage children.

When you HAVE raised a child or two, we'll be interested in hearing your opinions about how to raise them.
Well, we do have 2 children, and they do have good manners.
Politeness towards your spouse (teaching by example), patience, persistince, consistency, a big heavy wooden spoon and the willingness to use it.
When kids see flashing pictures on cereal boxes we don't expect them to just ask for the product, but to say, "I want it"
And I expect good parents to whack them upside the head until they say please.
And then whack them upside the head until they politely shut up after the parent says "No".
How far can we get before a solar panel is no longer viable?
Saturn, I think.
Most nerdy slashdot-reading guys I know, (myself included,) are either married or have girlfriends.
I like my women like I like my coffee - purchased at above-market rates from eco-friendly organic farming cooperatives in Latin America.

As a side question, anyone know if humans have the longest maturing period among animals?
Elephants are up there with humans.
To say that chimps are viscious animals, is to say humans are viscious animals.
But people pretty much grok that humans can be pretty violent.
The delusion that needs shattering is that chimpanzees are cuddly little furballs.

all those people a doctor could save if he stayed alive.
You realize what doctors who work in abortion clinics do, right? Saving lives isn't high on their TODO lists.

Umm, no.
A private forum
The organization is the school's atheist/agnostic society. You don't have "private" forums in such places.
All of these are public universities.
Muzak has been around since 1936.
ColdFire
It's 68K based, not RISC.
I don't ever see any tape systems touted for long term storage, but I'd love a recommendation for a system that I could trust for more than 10 years.
SuperDLT. It's what we use for SARBOX data retention compliance.
Unfortunately, that's "enterprise" tech, which means Big Bucks.
Sounds like he meant dual core.
Yeah, good point.
1x dual Opteron
.GT. RAM. It doesn't even mean that the data is a whole lot bigger than RAM.
It'll spend too much time task switching. Better to have 2 "less than half" slower CPUs, than 1 really fast CPU.
16G ram,
Could you put the 16G into one of the 2x boxes?
2x36G 15Krpm SCSI 16x400G 7200rpm SATA
data warehouse type tests (data >> memory);
DW does not mean that data
Althought I highly suspect that mysql is not suited for that sort of usage anyway.
On the contrary, I bet that MySQL w/ MyISAM would be well suited to that task.
