Erm.. those scumbag leaders didn't *do* what they did because they were atheist.
They did what they did because of political power and stupid ideology.
There isn't some kind of universal atheist you know. There's no instruction manual like a bible (hah!).
All an atheist is, is someone who has decided that there is nowhere near enough evidence (ie none usually) to believe silly superstitions.
So that make you a nice shiny bigot yourself there.
"We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end."
-Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Oh yeah - and making someone chose jesus over their family is a pretty divisive thing to do - obviously nowhere near the level of violence and hatred show in the older parts of the bible though it's true.
"Google made android NOT to lock people into Android but to avoid being locked out of "
Agreed.
Google also seem, to me at least, to be starting to make using their products 'slightly' less refined on any other device to Android devices.
Everything works, just not quite as nicely...
Yet again even if this is true, which I haven't seen proven, why would you justify mutilating millions of babies to reduce the incidence of STDs when they are adults?
Except this is not a valid medical reason.
*IF* these studies were reliable, repeated and valid science, then you would possibly have an argument for circumcision *in the countries where running water/cleanliness was a problem*.
Does that really sound like the US to you?
So, sorry, but this is still mutilation of a huge number of boys, who are not going to be helped by this.
Oops - sorry. Don't bring YOUR culturally insensitive references here please:)

Look dumbass, the USA isn't going to be handing-over a cheque for that fine. It will be recovered, by any nation to have lost-out, via trading sanctions. You know... the same things that the 'good-ole USA' uses to screw the third world nations.
I'm sorry - but ANY doctor that gives antibiotics for a cold, should be thrown out of the profession.
Antibiotics are absolutely no use for colds/flu.
Colds/flu get better on their own. Simple. Your body does all the work.
If you were physically able to get out of bed during the first week then you have a cold - and not flu. Grow Up you jessie.
If you are not getting better/getting worse after a week... then you have something else wrong too, and need to seek URGENT *REAL* medical advice.
You are probably correct... but those same companies sell their products (printers and consumables) in the same marketplace as the others, which means they will probably price things about the same as their competitors.
Our current Xerox laser at work prints colour prints for approx 6p (@12c a copy)... although that is only because the deal we have with xerox for buying/leasing the machine.
If we had to pay for the comsumables (we get an almost unlimited amount 'free' and just pay the ticker charge) then it would cost a fortune and would make running the machine impossible.
Yeah!
Laserbeams that shoot from machines made by????
Oh yeah - the same mofo's that make the inkjets.
Do you somehow think that epson inkjet is a different company to epson laser printer?
Although lasers tend to be a little cheaper to run.. they are still obviously a complete rip-off when it comes to consumables. Toner, EP cartridges, fusers, and whatever else they can come up with to fleece us with.
Sorry - there is no current alternative to being screwed by these tossbags.
If you want to print anything... you WILL be screwed by them - one way or another.
What the hell are you going on about?
Of course there are articles 'having a go' duh! that's what the interweb and slashdot are for?!?
It is called the exchange of ideas - and we are much better-off for it.
I really don't think slashdot or its readers are biased against apple (norton maybe lol) so maybe you should just grow up and learn to read things that you don't agree with.
Just because things are written down - doesn't make it compulsory to believe them.
(by the way - I am probably what you would call an apple fanboy)
I tend to agree with you... (some) sci-fi has raised the bar.
But don't go overboard on the Battlestar Galactica thing... the story and especially the script is complete arse.
Acting good... production values seem excellent... cgi excellent (although far too much use of camera shake)
lol
I agree.. although out of "Age, Race, Sex, Religious affiliation and Ethnicity" I think that Religious affiliation should not be included. The rest are kind of implicit in that you can't do much about them so it should never be an issue - whereas Religious affiliation is just a choice.......
Just a thought... doesn't NASA give up rights to any interesting 'finds' in that anything they do that might actually make some money gets given to big business. NASA is just the 'discoverer' of stuff... then anything useful is used by 'business' and sold back to us? I might be wrong?

Oh yeah... and have you actually read the new testament? Because it's pretty damn violent/nasty.

Arguing about the extent of mutilation is not a very convincing argument, when we're still talking about mutilating babies.
I'm also nowhere near nerdy enough to know the differences. Won't somebody please enlighten us? Just a quickie - not a whole history. Please?
Or just an idiot.
Giganews is also very good. I personally wouldn't know though... honest guv.
LOL. Ooooh my dictionary is bigger than your dictionary :) etc...

Sorry. You are correct. What was I thinking?
Unless they work for Fox... or.... or...
Or - shhhhh - just maybe it's all a load of rubbish... and people JUST DIE.
Wow - what a concept!
