Since it's the radicals who follow the book as written, yes, they are the only true muslims. Paying lip service and calling yourself a muslim does not mean you're really one. You're confusing this with Christianity which is impossible to follow without thorough cherry-picking; Koran sends a pretty consistent message.
People try to take some passages out of context, like 2:109 which calls for forgiveness for christians and jews, but nearby you're told it is only because no one should be denied a chance to convert to Islam. And if they refuse "the truth", then well, what to do next is reiterated so many times inside the Koran.
Or, putting it another way, 86:17 "So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.". Further explained in 9:5 "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
Considering the effect of patents on drug availability, pushing worse drugs just because the old one's patent expired, and so on, I'd say: let's abolish patents ESPECIALLY on pharmaceuticals.
I do not want targetted ads. For two reasons: targetted, and ads.
You say "ads are a part of life" -- so is pollution and diseases. Proponents of pollution say "but it allows the industry to produce cheaper goods this way", proponents of diseases would want to ensure steady income for pharma companies.
I've only been waiting TWELVE weeks for the delivery of my Pi.
That's about right: take 1kg raspberries, 0.5kg sugar, 0.5l 95% alcohol, put into a jar. Four months later, filter out the fruit (give it to your mom/wife/grandma for a cake, or whatever). Let the liquid sit for eight more weeks. Filter again, pour into bottles. Ready to drink.
This one is so much simpler than my family's usual tincture recipe that takes multiple steppings and eight months, and for raspberrries, gives good results.
They disagree which additional hadith should be obeyed, not about the Koran itself.
This said, Koran is not strictly without contradictions -- it's hard for a text 1400 years old to be clearly understandable by a modern reader. Skeptic's Annotated Quran lists 32 issues -- as opposed to Bible's 462 ones. I'd also assign Koran's contradictions a far lesser weight (as opposed to, say, whether afterlife exists or not), and in many cases dispute them entirely (like, "Allah cannot possibly have a child" doesn't contradict "Allah is omnipotent", it sounds more like a description of his nature, as a being transcending the world).
The difference is, the Bible is a big pile of inconsistent self-contradicting works, it is impossible to follow it without cherry-picking. With Koran, this is not the case: it's the work of a single man, Uthman (ok, text selection, nameless scribes did the actual editing). And it contains very few contradictions, making the message clear. And I really don't like what that message says.
In other words: there are no good muslims. Islam and peaceful coexistence with others are mutually exclusive. There is plenty of good folks who call themselves muslims, but they're sinful cherry-pickers who are muslims in name only. You don't murder infidels? Then you don't deserve to be called a muslim, as you don't do what your scripture demands.
You're getting the Nazi comparison wrong. It's not muslims who are victims here, they are the offenders.
Let's see: * vicious hatred towards jews, to the point of utter annihilation * hatred towards everyone not of their race^Wreligion, considering them not good for being anything but slaves (dhimmis) * demand for all the land * personality cult of the Glorious Leader (uncle Adolf vs Muhammad) * mass-murders of any perceived opposition *... especially of civilians
From the blurb: "it seems the iPhone 5 is faster than the S3", from the linked article: S3 has a higher score than iPhone5 by roughly the relative clock ratio. Most tests are single-threaded so the number of cores doesn't matter, but in the few multi-threaded tests, S3 gets far better edge (duh!). The only part where iPhone5 wins is memory bandwidth.
Whoever misquoted the results this badly must be some incorrigible Apple fanboy.
dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update apt-get install wine-bin:i386 apt-get install qemu-user-static # or non-static if you register binfmts by hand, it's a packaging issue
You may need to apply a NPTL patch to qemu, in most distributions qemu lacks NPTL when emulating i386. I heard qemu-linaro has that patch applied by default but I didn't try that.
Of course, it's more traditional to emulate arm on amd64...
If port 53 is unhampered, iodine will just put the traffic there -- but its primary purpose is encapsulating packets in real DNS packets.
Imagine queries like "TXT packet.123.dns-encoded.contents.are.abcdefgh123456.iodine.slashdot.org". The encoding is similar to uuencode, except for a different set of legal characters, and not all characters being legal at the beginning or end of a word.
Hey man, quiet, please! Like every single airport/etc which tries to charge (exorbitantly) for connectivity passes DNS through, so they can intercept connections and display their paywall page. If more people know about iodine, these holes will soon be plugged. A good part of countries has nazi laws forbidding open hotspots, so you can't get those, too.
The old rules were pretty clear: a woman reaches maturity when she's menstruating. Having sex with a child younger than that was a strict no-no, while afterwards the woman was considered an adult -- and biologically, she is, being able to reproduce.
lives are being threatened and people have been killed, and this silly video causing this stays on
So because violent murderers are afoot, we should cower in fear? By your logic, Hitler and his merry party should be given free reign because jews could, in theory, run away?
You don't have second amendment rights for any practical purpose anymore in most states (and countries of the world, for that matter).
I for one live in a country where a retired army officer managed to get a handgun permit, shot a knife-wielding burglar, and lost in the court because he "used a weapon in excess above what was absolutely necessary for self-defense". The US had the 2nd amendment but it squandered it together with the rest of the Bill of Rights.
And, except for a circus of fake issues (like [D] picking just one of alternative modes of sexuality and promoting it, with hatred towards all others, or [R] promoting one sky fairy over others), they are essentially a single party once again. Before, democrats used to side with Big Media while republicans with Big Oil, but nowadays both get copious donations from either -- and it's Big Finance who became the primary mover. So it doesn't matter whether you vote for the populist or authoritarian wing of the NeoCon party, the result is the same.
the "Wikitravel community" was migrating to Wikimedia Foundation, which is obviously different from claiming that "Wikitravel" (the site) was migrating
Pretty much identical to an attempt to mutilate the Encyclopaedia Dramatica as a two-bit site whose name let's not quote to not give it undeserved attention. The community moved out, and the old domain's owner threw a fit, threatened lawsuits against anyone involved (as if people related to AnonOps would care...), and to this day we have enemies of ED claiming it is dead (like a furry community member SilverSeren, repeatedly abusing his WP admin right to vandalize the "ED" page against the wishes of pretty much everyone else involved with that article).
BtrFS is ready for serious use, there are just additional goodies planned for it.
ZFS exists in some form for all relevant server platforms -- on Linux, the kernel module is indistributable except as source[1], but installing dkms doesn't even require knowing what a compiler is. Unlike BtrFS, I wouldn't use it for production use yet (on non-Solaris non-BSD) because the kernel module is quite new, but it's there.
Both of them can do RAID better than the traditional models as they know the filesystem's layout. Also, they can store some files as JBD and some as RAID on the same filesystem.

Or rather, "someone higher up got some favours from a Microsoft rep".

Er, s/four months/four weeks/, sorry for breaking the joke.

Drilling techniques typically not, but drugs to cure widespread diseases tend to massively suffer from "intellectual property".
Also, while saving a life is good in the short term, the war on culture causes damage that will last for thousands of years.
good causes like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
They not only have ties with Monsanto, but also support male genital mutilation instead of fighting it.
I second EFF, but you may want to give some money to The Pirate Bay as well. They're another front of the war against MAFIAA.
ACLU does some good work, but it's tied in a ridiculous degree to the populist branch of the neocon party.
EFF doesn't have that problem.
What's wrong with manually assigning IPv6 addresses? That works just the same as it did with IPv4:
iface eth0 inet6 static
address 2001:6a0:114::9
netmask 64
gateway 2001:6a0:114::1
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
You just get a much bigger range to choose from, which you may use or not.

Er, what? The broadcast is available to everyone, no matter if you asked for it or not.
