There's no problem with teaching religion in schools.
Preaching religion is a whole different issue. Any presentation of Christianity should be accompanied by both its feats and flaws; the crusades are a wonderful example. The divisions of the Church in history. The wars. Likewise for Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, Shinto or any other religion. People need to understand how important religion has been to history, and that every single religion has its benefits and flaws. Shinto seems all cuddly and harmonious with nature, and it also seems like a misogynistic sacrificial cult depending on what angle you look at it from.
If you are a scientist, why are you opposed to people learning truthful facts? ID is a hypothesis, one that is equally pushed forward and discredited. Children need to know of this debate; the ones raised by ignorant proselytisers will continue to be stupid, and those on the fence will learn, adapt, and hopefully regardless of their beliefs be useful, productive members of the community, in science or otherwise.
Religious Studies classes are an important part of historical and cultural understanding. I would certainly be more ignorant and bigoted if I hadn't attended such classes. And as an advantage, you can teach basic philosophy and epistemology in such classes. While most kids'll ignore it, for some it'll be the spark needed to ignite introspection and meta-thinking.
I wish scores went above 5 so I could've modded this up. They said that homebrew save files will be deleted, publicly, prior to providing the update link; they basically said "We're going to eliminate anything that could cause system instability, so if you want to keep it, transfer it to an external device. We really don't want to brick your console." No reasons regarding piracy were given, although they probably express a healthy level of awareness and paranoia about the possibility of homebrew leading to piracy. All in all, Nintendo generally seems intelligent about this sort of thing. They're trying to balance the happiness of the power-users and modders with their corporate interests and the possibility of piracy.
Next to the Preview and Submit options, there's the option for "Plain Old Text" or "HTML Formatted". Change it back to Plain old text and it'll be correctly formatted as you've done it within the textarea.
If you do it using HTML formatted, you're expected to insert your own <br / tags to create line breaks.
I'll be tangential here, while the war effort and the weapons themselves were not racist, nor were many of the combatants, propaganda at the time reached hysterically racists proportions: "SLAP A JAP WITH WAR BONDS AND STAMPS" was a common one, complete with imagery that makes minstrel shows look utterly harmless by comparison.
Unfortunately, it seems that the GP ("Why commit one racist war-crime, when a better one presents itself!") has conflated the propaganda with the necessary actions of war.
Whether the nuke, or bat-bombs, were ethical and necessary actions of war is a slightly different debate, but I'm quite sure neither are racist nor genocidal.
I must agree, MATLAB is probably the best answer. I'm a Computer Science undergrad, and I learned it more as a programmer who needed a solid understanding of mathematics and array/matrix manipulation. A number of my physics and even biology student peers have also used it, with varying degrees of success, but I would stand by it as fundamental in university-level science education.
I'm sorry, but "real anime catgirl" falls dangerously close to "furry". You're going to have to give me proof of ID and mental age, otherwise we may just have to nuke the site from orbit.
This was 10 years ago, most of the girls in the class disregarded the computer in general, boys tended to crowd out the machine, and those who did play it didn't play competitively.

5th unique AC in a row -
I thought it was funny, guess it rubbed someone with mod points the wrong way. And the moment one person mods it to 0 or -1, it stays there.

You hope for the impossible and the contradictory.
SCA is just LARPing, only slightly more insane.
I can't stomach much more of this.
Peperami is 108% pork. :D

So they'd be a printer ink company with a niche in corporate products, but otherwise unknown to the public.

Gambling's gone from Second Life now, except for skill-based games. A bit like an arcade with no slot machines, but a Silent Scope Cash Prize machine.
The perverts are still around, and numerous.
As a resident of the weather-blessed United Kingdom, I say: "HAH!"

I think that says more than enough about the ludicrous extent propoganda-racism got to.
Also, this amuses me far, far too much.

This thread is using too many puns in one place, Slashdot needs to learn to pace itself.

Create algae farms. Harvest in sustainable %. Maintain good oxygen output while enabling harvestable fuel.
To repeat the strip-mining, unsustainable forestry attitudes of the 19th and 20th centuries would be foolish, damning and unconscionable.

And you use Linux?

You mean a laser pointer, with a T-shirt for armor.
The indirect unit is useful for informing the public and preparing a transitional stage in common units.
