True, but an encryption key is knowledge held inside your brain. This is usually assumed private by simple fact that there's no way to get it out; the issue only arises now because of torture.
It's not because you're a loser persay, it's because you spent so much time hacking you never learned how to get a girlfriend and now you're trying not to care because you know you have no chance in hell.
Some people don't care about one part or definition of love, but needing it in some sense is only human. Ex: I have very little lust (physical desire) in me, but still have a need to being bonded to a mate psychologically. For some people the opposite is true, or some completely weird personality not involving anything I said.
Point is, (unfortunately) love is a basic need of the human psyche in some form or other, and we can't really cover that up by coding well enough.
Prozac and drugs like it are for raising levels of certain compounds found everywhere in the brain, rather than treating a specific section of the brain.
I agree except for your claim that SSB is obscure. It isn't, and will undoubtedly be included in this service whether or not we ask for it on Slashdot.
Despite it's childish looking graphics and AI that I only get real competition from by typing TIMETOLOSE, that is the single best racing game ever. Unlockables all over the place, infinite replay value, and cheats that are actually fun (two player adventure mode, for example).
I only have one problem I want them to fix: Don't let people click Restart Race on the pause menu in multiplayer Tracks mode. My brother used to just click that whenever I'd get a decent advantage on him (almost always), and this misfeature has discouraged quite a few I know from playing at all.
The highest praise I can give here is that at one point many years ago, I lost my DKR cartridge. Once I had the money, I bought another one.
The Jewish point of view is somewhat similar. If temple members want to use the synagogue Social Hall (the non-religious part of the building where we meet, talk, gnosh before and after services) for something they can, but it wouldn't count as a synagogue function. These people celebrating Darwin's birthday are doing so AS A CHURCH, rather than as a few parishioners using the church building.
The part about your hand or forehead refers to the ancient Jewish tradition of wearing tefillin (little boxes with scrolls of Sh'ma in them, attached to you by leather straps) on the hand and forehead. The writer of Revelations was probably referring to Christians and/or Hebrews wearing the Mark of the Beast instead of their tefillin.
That was my very point. Emo kids don't commit suicide, but hikikomori do.
Of course, a lot of (supposedly somewhat) knowledgable Slashdotters here say that Japanese culture has always found suicide far more acceptable than Western (ie: European-derived) culture. Apparently they've just got a higher proportion of the same number of depressed people who kill themselves.
I don't just mean those killing themselves via internet, I mean the notoriously high general suicide rates of Japan. They are quite real, and I'm quite curious as to why. I'm also curious as to why nobody in Japan (who would have some understanding of the issues) hasn't asked. The last statement applies to itself recursively as well as to why the suicide rates are high.
That is true. The idea is that we make sure to only take things derived from the original Torah as real religious texts, thereby nipping many of the people who want to "extend" Torah with their own teachings in the bud *cough!*.
3. It sprouted from an older, less "open", religion, many of the followers of which are still around today.
Less open? How is Judaism less open? We allow people to look at our books and even convert; we just don't force it on anyone like Christians have time and time again.
I would just like to remind those out there who still believe in an Abrahamic faith that having your church/synagogue/mosque celebrate the birthday of a human being not associated in any way with God is idolatry. Darwin is not a religious figure, he is a scientific one. You can believe in evolution and be religious, however.
I would also like to remind the people who wrote my Biology textbook, a Miller and Levine of Prentice Hall, that their treatment of Darwin and evolution is rather idolotrous. Details of earlier theories (inheritance of learned traits, geological theories that led to "Earth is billions of years old" in the first place, Darwin's actual evidence) are left out, and the authors practically declare Undying Love for Charles Darwin. Declaring Undying Love for anything is unscientific.
This has been a public service announcement because idolizing people causes problems, such as reading the National Enquirer, stupidity and electing the stupid "National Enquirer" readers you idolize to high political office.
As a 16 year old who knows when to shut up about technical topics he doesn't know about, I agree with the parent poster. TFA is immature, but that shouldn't reflect on all 16 year olds.
Wrong. It would no longer matter what Local OS you ran as long as it could connect to the Network OS, but which applications you could run would be restricted by which Network OS you ran.
It would just move the application/OS problem off the PC and onto the network. Developers have to face that the only real solution for that problem is writing portable code.
Does this explain why religion is on the decline? As less people are infected, less display symptoms of schizophrenia, such as "feeling the divine presence", and "talking to God". Maybe true devotion in the middle ages was a neurochemical imbalance caused by a parasite, and now that humans are living more cleanly, the "faith" we have left is just residual from the earlier teachings?
Religion is on a decline now? Not in my neighborhood. YES, religions have become much less strict and "kill the Other" nowadays, but the fact is that most people still believe in some kind of religion and try to either worship according to it or live by its principals.
Thought I had to mention this to cover my back: There are of course assholes that act like kids anyway, I'm not suggesting the world suddenly turns strictly rule-obeying and correct the day you turn 25. A lot of people just get different priorities/ less time on their hands.
Not all adults are adult:)
Of course there are assholes! I've met enough real adults to see some.
God forbid, however, that all adults should ever be adult! If everyone obeyed all the rules we'd have hell on earth, a "1984" of social mores! After all, isn't the very definition of 'hack' "To make something do something it wasn't designed to do"?
Unfortunately, the number of children (those not legally able to consent or withhold consent for medical treatment) forced onto drugs is quite a bit larger than it should be. I've met quite a few who would probably be much happier and less "mentally ill" if they could just live somewhere outside their parents' jurisdiction for a while.
Did you know that a parent can sign their child into a psychiatric hospital on "voluntary" status? This means that the hospital can keep the child indefinitely without legal recourse, because legally the hospital has the patient's consent! It also means that the normal privilege of voluntary status, that of being able to sign oneself out any time and leave giving only 3 days notice for the hospital to get a court order to keep one, is also delegated to the parent rather than the child. The end result is that the child is involuntarily hospitalized without the court order requirement of legal involuntary status (they need police or court order to take you and a court order after 3 months to keep you)!

Don't ask other Slashdotters.
Though some of the stuff I've seen under here is genuinely insightful. Perhaps only those who've been in relationships posted?
Prozac and drugs like it are for raising levels of certain compounds found everywhere in the brain, rather than treating a specific section of the brain.
Nice try, though.
Didn't you ever here that sibling violence begets more sibling violence? That feature shouldn't be in multiplayer mode.

I'll be inviting people from synagogue to my next birthday (if I celebrate that much at all), but it won't be a temple event. That's the difference.

If those were American students (and if you're right about student suicides) the homicide rate would go up rather than suicide.

I have to wonder, what is it about Japanese culture that produces these people in such high numbers? In America, they'd listen to emo music.
I have hunches but no evidence. Could somebody explain this tragic issue?

naming them in kiddy porn suits is going to be the next Big Thing.
I'll ask one of the looser 16/17 year old girls I know if she wishes to help bring that about.

You were just rude. Now the Manners Police come and get you.
I'm sorry, but the closest dystopia to my point was "1984". Deal with it.
Point made. Emancipation laws NOW! There's more than one way to imprison kids!
