VoIP is usually filtered out by the mobile phone providers, as it would severely lower their revenue if everybody used VoIP over GSM or 3G. So no chance for that.
Everybody hates Israel. But not because they're jews, but because they kill UN peace-keeping forces. And don't come with this "oh, those poor jews, those poor jews" bullshit. They were bombing the fucking place for hours even though they exactly knew that there were UN soldiers in that outpost. Oh, and just in case anybody thinks that Palestine or Lebanon started the whole thing, this is not true: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/07/1 4/146258
4 UN soldiers, I would like to emphasize on that, because the fourth one is the Austrian officer that is still missing. I recently finished my basic military service in Austria, and during that time I learnt to know quite a number of people that took part in UN peace-keeping missions, and to hear that one of my fellow citizens and (more or less) comrade (well, formally not really, the missing Austrian is an officer, while I was a private...) had to die because of the IDF bombing the place all around the UN outpost for hours. This is so sick.
That's right. I know a lot of programmers and hackers who smoke weed. Not every day, but e.g. on weekends. And it's not bad(tm), after all. They do their work, they're successful, so no real negative side here.
Tinfoil is not a good idea. Recent studies showed that tinfoil actually _amplifies_ certain electromagnetic waves, like certain frequencies exclusively reserved for the US government...
At least it's more honest than the usual "it brings world peace and helps improve your stamina" attitude I see with other frameworks, especially within the Java community (that last clause will probably start off a flamewar:->).
The TCP port that will be used for it is obviously 69. Actually, this is a great help, as a simple "tcpdump -w pr0n.log 'port 69'" writes all the porn downloaded by your colleagues to a tcpdump file, from which all the video and image files could be extracted later.
Please have a look at some encyclopedia and get a clue. Mosquitos are typically nectar feeders, with only the females sucking out your blood. And they infamous for transmitting illnesses such as Malaria in some countries.
Why should they move anyway? Moving those people is such a crackpot idea. Hey, Austria is structured that way! A few big cities (still small compared to international cities), and most of the towns are located in valleys, with mountains around them, and they were built 700 or more years ago (my home town has roots 2000 years back).
Slashdotters, Austria is not the USA. Austria is small, and many things rely on how it is currently structured. Relocating people would be just cruel and inhumane, and the bigger cities would be overstrained by all the people moving.
As I'm Austrian, it is also _my_ money, and I want it to be spent on such a project. One of my grandmothers also lives in a similar valley, and while she lives there very well, it would definitely be a quality improvement if there was a bit more sun during the winters.
You've obviously never been to Austria, otherwise you would know that the majority of all towns were built in valleys, many of them facing exactly the same kind of problem as Rattenberg. And what's the alternative to those mirrors? Migration into cities? No way.
I would do the following: tell it the Department of Homeland Security. And that's the logical reasoning to get Sony fucked: - terrorists install spyware and rootkits on computers to use them for terroristic acts. - Sony installs rootkits. - ergo: Sony is a terrorist organization. - ergo: nuke Japan and put the local Sony employees into detention camps. - problem solved.
If they (the neo-Darwinists) had remained silent on the issue, like Darwin had, then I would agree with you. But since they insisted that variation in evolution was soley due to random mutations (with a considerable lack of evidence to back them up) and there was no other possible cause, then, yes, it is clear that they were explicitly trying to remove the possibility of any other mechanism acting to produce variety.
Uhm, have you actually looked at what happens with the DNA during cell division? On this point, "copy" errors happen, so that's where some of the "randomization" happens. Another important thing is the way the DNA of an ovum and the fertilizing sperm is intermixed, which is in fact a very efficient way to mix the different variations within a very short period of time.
What I find very interesting, BTW, is that you try to attack the whole field of evolution just because Darwin's approximation of it isn't as good as what can be observed today? It has been shown that the variations can be explained by relatively simple processes which can be observed, so what you call "materialist philosophy" was probably really philosophy and ideology at the time it was first verbalized, but hey, science moved on, and was able to provide observable evidence, and that is something that you cannot deny.
Darwin's hypothesis, and especially the neo-Darwinian synthesis, had as an implicit goal of removing a Creator from the evolutionary hypothesis
No, it doesn't. Darwinism is agnostic about a god or creator, as it is totally "outside of the system". So, only religious people claim that Darwinism is "anti-god" because it is not as "pro-god" as they would like to have it.
Scientific materialists have ulterior motives. They want to deny the existence of God. This leads to frauds like Piltdown Man and Haeckel's embryos. And creating "theories" on the skimpiest of evidence.
Um, they? Sounds like a conspiracy... Oh, and you're mixing up "theory" and "hypothesis". A theory is actually the strongest thing science has, only IDers want to weaken this term, and you fell into that trap. Theories aren't formed that easily and quickly, it usually takes years to form them from hypothesises (is that the correct plural? I doubt), and a theory is only then a theory when there is strong evidence that the hypothesises (again...) are a good approximation to how reality is, and can be used to do predictions which then can shown to be true (that's what experiments are all about, or findings that fit into that prediction, like in the case of biology/evolution).
You could say they were the first Jews, which is reasonable, but not necessarily the first humans.
That is not quite true, as Abraham is seen as the patriarch of Judaism, i.e. the first Jew, and that is also questionable, as he is also recognized by other religions like Christianity or Islam. Even though Christianity resulted out of Judaism and Islam out of Christianity, these three religions are called the Abrahamitic religions. Also, IIRC, Islam explicitly calls Abraham not a Jew, but the first true believer in God, unaware of any religion.
It shows a high level of abstraction when you access the DB by simply loading/persisting objects instead of having to handle queries, result sets, records and all the other low-level stuff. And abstraction (in this case) is good, as it helps the developer concentrate on the relevant parts of the program.
No, as I wrote, "the article is currently unavailable", you know, slashdot effect and stuff. Anyway, if X is involved, then it's pretty lame.
To my knowledge, all *nix systems run KDE on top of an X windowing system.
Yes, _currently_. But since Qt is available for X11, Windows and OSX natively, a native port w/o any X11 involved would be really cute. Maybe next time.
Uhm, as far as I understand it, the interesting thing is that they probably used the native OSX version of Qt instead of relying on X11? I read about people trying to achieve that a while ago, but I can't verify that, as the article is currently unavailable.

I don't know what's your preference, but I still have more trust in my good old Safe Action system.

Dear Mr. Crackpot AC,
Please have a look at some encyclopedia and get a clue. Mosquitos are typically nectar feeders, with only the females sucking out your blood. And they infamous for transmitting illnesses such as Malaria in some countries.

Boy, I don't know where you live, but in central Europe, problems are hardly ever monocausal. And how could more kids generate money, anyway?
