Statistically, if you had kids you'd be less happy. According to my readings, if you want to be happier, devote more of your time to helping other, spending time with friends, learning new things, etc.
The body (brain) is quite enough to explain what is observable. That doesn't mean we fully understand it, or that we ever will, but consciousness very obviously arises solely out of the brain.
And no, the States CAN'T screw up just as badly, because they are closer to the people they serve.
Ha Ha Ha. Cities regularly screw over their minority residents, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, and a Federal Court often intervenes to protect the rights of the minority. States have no special status here, vigilance is necessary at all levels.
human beings have rights because of natural law, or social acceptance, or convention; they aren't contingent and cannot be revoked.
Wait, what? Rights are from social acceptance or convention, but aren't contingent? WTF? As for "natural law", the only "rights" natural law gives are physics. So what rights are you talking about that aren't contingent? The right to have mass?
All "rights" are established thru force, usually by a minority, but with the acquiescence of the majority. All rights (other than physical laws) are negotiable and contingent.
Eating meat isn't cruelty, it's the cruelty that seems built into the system of getting meat to your fridge. I'm happy to eat hunted meat, or even pasture animals where I know the animal wasn't killed cruelly. Of course I still don't eat much meat due to the environmental damage...

Yes there is. Do try to keep up.
Huh? What's the background radiation have to do with it? Surely "whatever biotech breakthroughs" would include dna and cell repair.

Or spelling/grammar.
Not to mention that if it still runs at all, there's probably someone within reach via Craigslist or Freecycle who would make use of it.
Not true. Many have the same IPv4 address!
No, not trolling at all. Was just in a hurry and flatly stated my beliefs, acquired thru reading about neurology.

Ah. I'm used to NetBSD where cross compiling (the base OS at least) is taken for granted.

Why? Certainly building on a Core i7 with 4 cores and 8 threads would be much faster and result in the same binaries (bugs excepted).
Isn't Greylisting a lot more like port-knocking than NAT?
We got the Web by NOT using OO.
You realize that the first web server and first web browser were written in Objective-C, right?
Yeah, stop playing all fast and lose with your spelling!
What's the correlation with multiple times per day?
my Sony BluRay player is BSD.

Retarded?
Um, yeah, we share a common ancestor. You're equally closely related to all of your 1st cousins.
Not so. See "Ring Species"
Bonobos spent a greater percentage of their lives copulating. I think it's pretty obvious which species is more intelligent...
Woosh!
Well, children tend to share, and share things like pinkeye :-)
That's crazy expensive. When Intel got out of the USB microscope business, I picked up 2 for $60.
