You'd be surprised at what threads people will cling to in depression. Making it illegal most certainly can be that one thread that keeps someone from killing himself.
The simple fact is, suicide was made illegal in the United States because, at that time, the nation and society valued all human life, even that so depressed as to want to end itself.
Those days are rapidly fading away. Now we kill humans in the womb because they inconvenience the mother. We kill them because they may not be 'perfect' (Downs Syndrome) we kill them because they're the wrong sex. We encourage the elderly to "die with dignity." We decided a life isn't worth living and so get the courts to pull a feeding tube. And all the while, the death cult chants about how we are moving toward enlightenment.
As a German, you should study your history better. Hitler SEIZED power in a coup. He and his party were a small minority in the German government.
A more accurate analogy would be if Hillary Clinton, the junior senator from New York, were to cite the terrorist attacks and the Republican's failure to deal with them as justification for her seizing the presidency, whereupon she would immediately send the army out that night to kill and imprison all her political opponents.
You said the word, but didn't pay any attention to it.

Wiretapping known terrorist sympathizers communicating outside of the country with other known terrorist sympathizers is not an unreasonable search or seizure by any rational definition of the word.
If you're more conservative than the MSM, they're liberal. If you're as liberal as the MSM, they're balanced. If you're more liberal than the MSM, they're controlled by right-wingers.
Um, this is France. The government over there has their fingers in every aspect of business. Why do you think they're unemployment is Chronically close to 20%?
Chemical reactions for life go too slowly at our temperature, too, and thank goodness they do or we would all chemically react ourselves into a pile of goo in a matter of a few minutes.
You want reactions that are slow, but that can be sped up using a catalyst when necessary. That allows you to control the reactions and switch them on and off as needed. In biological systems enzymes are the catalysts.
The odds that someone with a certificate knows what the heck he is talking about is much higher than someone without a certificate who claims he knows what he's talking about.
Translation of the original submission:
I don't have a certification, but I think I know everything and am too much of a cheapskate to pay for certification, but want an employer to pay me what he would someone who was willing to go the extra mile and prove he knew what he was talking about by getting certified.
that these retiring admins will never train anyone to replace them, and the only place you can ever learn anything about computers is in your college comp-sci classes.

It's creepy.

That is essentially what Hitler did.

True entrepreneurs know it's not about the money. The money is just the way you keep score.
"No, /. is not the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, "
Ahh, the great cry of the mediocre. "We're not THEM, don't hold us to THEIR standard."

Apple enjoys more than 10% of Microsoft's revenues today. They gross 12 billion a year.
No, that's to a distant observer.
We are distant observers. The parent's question still stands.
More likely, the chimps were not able to comprehend the abstract concept of obedience to an adult authority.
How do supposedly intelligent people believe that the more outlandish something is that somebody says, the truer it must be?
because of course, we all know that remote African villages are just overflowing with modern conveniences like electricity.

Sheesh.

Not all research funding is federal funding.
The reason there is so little private funding of embryonic stem cell research is because it's so unpromising.
Adult stem cell research is producing results NOW and so is what is being funded.
You'd wind up with the R101 Airhsip, version 2. It would be over deadline, overbudget and crash on liftoff.
The best way to get a horrible result is to remove all restrictions.
Parental authority and parental example.
The best kind of discipline is self-discipline. The best kind of censorship is self-censorship.
You cannot give your children what you do not have.

Too few people realize this.
Isn't it interesting that when you talk to an environmentalist, his solution always translates to:
Tell you how to live your life.
Take a look at average donor amounts for the two political parties. You may be surprised.
Last time I checked, we didn't start the war, but we damn well finished it.
Take your self-loathing to someone who cares.
