A person who smoked salvia said that a black hole in reality opened up and their soul was sucked into it. Meanwhile physicists claim that black holes suck in matter and light and it can never escape.
Maybe if more physicists smoked Salvia they'd have a better natural understanding of the universe. They would understand that salvia is an alien lifeform, a plant brought to the earth by the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greys to consume our souls. They would understand that our reality is an illusion and that this force they just discovered is the salvia force, the ultimate proof of alien life. The universe and existence is fake, accept it. You don't have consciousness, you are just a biological machine, please accept it.
So the average pay of $75,000 or whatever is irrelevant. What is the median pay of a tech worker? That being said of course if we can telecommute it's better than wasting time traveling to and from work, or preparing / dressing up for work. Thats a complete waste of productivity.
The papers here seem to be hand-written letter-by-letter, though, which suggests that the cypher procedure is something that someone can do in his head without the help of a computer. If this is the case, it rules out a lot of possible cyphers, and consequently severely decreases the unicity distance.
Which would result in you getting tortured for the rest of your life until you tell them what they want to hear, which is that you are a terrorist and that the more scary message is the real one.
Only if it is innocent information stored. I suspect anything incriminating found is used as an excuse to torture and find out what was said in person.
Many places allow torture to prevent an immenent attack, emails planning an attack would definitely be the type of thing that could be used as evidence of the pending attack.
Many places? Every place, including the USA. Torture is commonly used on suspected terrorists.
Encryption wont protect you from the fucking torture, but it will protect your message to be delivered along with your dead tortured body to your grave.
Why don't they go to the slums, or to the prisons and talk to some liberals in there about whether or not banning violent video games or movies would have changed their life in a significant way.
Honestly, there are neighborhoods which are so violent that kids have to carry knives or join gangs to feel safe. Try telling that kid that banning violent video games and movies will make any difference. It will only make a difference to the kid going to the elite school with the elite parents.
A parent may work for a violent corporation that builds weapons to kill people, but expect that banning violent games will keep their kids from having violent thoughts.
The real world is a violent place, get used to it.
As a result children have less empathy. Empathy isn't rewarded in society. Look at this society and tell me why you'd expect any other result besides less empathy from children?
Do the corporations have any empathy? So why expect it from children?
Such as if you play a game and you play violently, maybe your enemy just attacks you harder, forcing you to be more tactical rather than just trying to rambo your way through the AI.
Also dying in a game should be a bit more painful. You lose all your gear and you start at the first level, thats how it was when I played growing up. They didn't have a "save" feature.
Even when playing a violent game as a child, I hated to lose the game or die and have to start over.
So when you die in a game it hurts. If they don't think it hurts enough then perhaps the punishment for death in the new games should be like it was in the old games. When you died in some of the old school games that was it, or you'd get 3 lives and after losing all 3 that was it, and you had to start from scratch to get back to where you were. So dying in a game meant something.
Ok, seriously: why do so many people harp on the "awesomebar"? I'm beginning to think it's just a strawman for some strange repulsion to Firefox, brought on by something else entirely.
Most of the programmers working on the project are from companies like Google who don't know what they are doing.
It was one thing when AOL worked on it, but the quality of the development has gone down. We need an open source browser on the market.
I admit, I'm using Chrome right now because Chrome is better, and I'm not upgrading to Firefox4 because 3.6 is better. They should have kept the option to use the 3.6 interface or just extended it, than go completely alien.
We need a security and functionality oriented fork ASAP. Performance matters also.
Nobody asked for changes to the interface. The interface to Firefox was never broken and nobody complained about it.
Nobody asked for the "awesome bar" or whatever the hell that is. If it improves productivity then fine, tabs make sense, but the majority of this shit is just gimmicks. Integrating the cloud makes sense but not when it's specifically "facebook" and "twitter", but to allow anyone to select anything and make it completely transparent and open. They are going commercial in a really bad sell out kind of way, and you can tell the developers I said it.
Slashdot Mirror
Prove that thoughts exist in physical reality, and are more real than the electrons flowing through your computer?
Prove that free will exists?
Or accept that thoughts are an illusion, and that free will never existed, and that you are as much of an automaton as any other computer.
I said salvia not alcohol. Drinking wont allow you to experience and appreciate death.
Get in, or else.
What is fire if there is no life to sense or measure heat?
It's all just perceptions and thoughts in your brain. When you die, then it all ends. The universe is your life.
And consciousness does not actually exist. Consciousness is an illusion.

If trains would increase productivity, lets tax workers and build more train tracks?

Unless he invented his own cypher.

And they live in a violent neighborhood? What good would any of this censorship do when they get to see people being shot and stabbed IRL?
But they never make the connection that most violent adults were bullied as kids.

If they would have called it this, nobody would complain.
So, basically do to Firefox what Firefox (as Phoenix) did to Mozilla? Fork to go back to basics?
Exactly. Even if it takes a while to go back to the basics, it has to be done.
Ok, seriously: why do so many people harp on the "awesomebar"? I'm beginning to think it's just a strawman for some strange repulsion to Firefox, brought on by something else entirely.
The God button would be cooler right?
Google's Ninja's have infiltrated Firefox and are ruining it. Sabotage style.
