Hm, interesting point. Yet there are quite recent protestant churches that are of Calvinist inspiration, e.g. numerous evangelical branches in the US. Sure, it does not please me to be possibly associated with US evangelicals, but that is what the metaphor brings.
Where is IRIX in this metaphor, BTW ?
It maps quite well to my own path: I started out with Solaris, but seeing how much such Unices dabbled in simony and venality, I "went protestant", and am a hardcore Linux-Calvinist now ( Slackware, Fuduntu, xfce et al. being the grounds of my daily toil.
Humankind will learn a lot more from a Mars One failure, even now, in this early stage, than from all of us remaining seated on our butts. In the unlikely case that Mars One does not fail, we'll collectively learn even more. Where is the problem ?
Last week, there was news that, although economic growth is picking up nearly everywhere in the EU ( the 2008 crisis seems finally over ), France is lagging behind, and we hear more and more often the epithet "sick man of Europe".
I studied and worked in France, hence I know that society pretty well. The problem has always seemed, to me, that the average Frenchman expects the French state to provide him with anything he needs: health, safety, a job, a pension, vacation. Add to this the curious "cultural exception" France has always demanded for itself to be made within Europe and, indeed, the entire world; add to this its isolationism, and its lack of true opening to what is now the modern world - and you have the recipe for driving an entire country to insignificance.
France, indeed and as a culture, is no more.
I normally do not deign to reply to cowardly and anonymous posters. But this your reaction begs and screams for answer. You, Sir, are so gross toward this courageous person that, if you had an account here, you would have instantaneously merited to have that account closed down. This is SO MUCH below any level of decency and respect that I find no words for it.
"“I acted on my belief that the N.S.A.’s mass surveillance programs would not withstand a constitutional challenge, and that the American public deserved a chance to see these issues determined by open courts. Today, a secret program authorized by a secret court was, when exposed to the light of day, found to violate Americans’ rights. It is the first of many.”"
That is not how beehives are made. I should know, I grew up as the son of a beekeeper. It is the "CNC milling" part in this initiative that may make it fail. Beekeepers have other things to do, and are often too money-stretched, than to invest in such equipment.
Thing is, already 35 years ago the first waves of Varroa mite swept over Europe and killed a bazillion beehives all over the continent. And we still don't have any insight into what CCD exactly is, what combination of factors it is caused by, what factors favorize it. We just and only gained some insight into how Varroa spreads. Apis carnica has hard times ahead...
Yeah, you can anonymously check out the source code from our SVN server, located near the big black hole at the center of the Andromeda galaxy. Please take into account, however, that network latency may delay your project, although network jitter is near-inexistant.
This is the beginning of the end, much more than the end of the beginning, for Twitter. How sad I may find it - I DO think that this sort of ultra-commercial moves will induce a company that was, until recently, a start-up, to be technology conservator rather than an innovator. Interesting times at Twitter are over....
F*****g hell. Now you cast me into depths of doubt: am I a monkey or an ape. I *do* have some sort of tail, but then again, it seems to hang on the wrong side ?
"The world's most free" ?? That is a joke. If and when the journalists of a country - the journalists, for crying out loud - stop to mention certain topics on the phone because their government might be interested in the conversation, then that country is by all standards modern NOT free.
Experienced this ( or something rather similar ) in a deep rock fissure in the Mauritanian Sahara. I had hiked through the desert for days, and finally found this place very, very far away from any human being. For five nights, I slept in there - that is: I tried. The silence drove me mad: I had to go outside to find sleep amid wind-generated, soft noise.
There is also the citation from Job, in the Bible, who has retired to a very lonely place to mourn: "The beatings of my heart subdue me with terror."
Well yes, it all plays upon a certain innate sense of social control that people ( still ) have. I have a dog that once - uncontrollably - shat in the middle of this smaller city's main shopping street. No poop bags in sight, all gone. I will never forget the dozens of angry looks cast upon me and my dog. And yes, I ever since scooped up his poop. So does nearly everyone here. I do not tend to agree with the "conservatives won't play along" response above. Austria is known to be a fairly conservative country here in Europe, yet the principle works. Why wouldn't it work in the US of A ? For sure, you need the initial investment in a media campaign by the city, or county. But then again - isn't this *exactly* what public money is for: the benefit of all, by solutions as simple as possible ?? Or is it exactly this that keeps such solutions from being implemented in the US: the aversion to spend public money on social problems ? [For sure, it *is* a social problem. Ask any citizen in any other major European city about the main social problems in his / her city: dog poop will be among the top 5]
I live close to the city of Vienna, Austria. It is famous in Europe for its campaign a Sackerl für mein Gackerl, literally "a baggie for my poopies". The accompanying media campaign initially played upon civic sense, and still exclusively plays upon civic sense: have a dog, walk it, wait for it to poo, scoop up poo with one of the free plastic bags provided everywhere in and around Vienna's green zones (parks etc. ). Works splendidly. Costs almost nothing. Poop problem solved.
is how, all over the interwebs, comet ISON is being described - and sometimes outright mourned - as if it had been / still were an animated being. Strange. If it had been my dog, or any dog for that matter, not surviving a close encounter with the sun - well then, hell yes. But ISON is only a chunk of dirty ice....

Nation-states will be history, soon enough, I guess ( or fear ).

Ever heard of hard radiation ? Any consumer-grede device would only survive for minutes up there.
You, Sir, deserve a landslide of mod points. Up, that is.
Excuse me. You use an abbreviation I have never seen or heard of. What does "QLEB" mean ?

Amen, bro.
In a New York Times article, Snowden reacts, stating:

Ever heard of the meme "correlation is not causation", dude ?

I do. Alas, the link points to a newspaper article in Dutch: You will need to copy and paste into Google Translate, I guess . And my memory failed me: the man had € 600,000 with him, not € 30,000.
