I'm assuming you saw the line 'nuclear fusion as an energy source is even less probable than large-scale breeder reactors' and thought they were confusing fusion with fission. That is not actually the case, go and re-read the summary closely again. They are not confusing the two, they are comparing them.
It can be rephrased as: don't do something unless you believe everyone can do that thing without the world falling apart. So don't steal unless you think everyone would be able to steal without society collapsing.
I would sincerely like to thank you for your compassion of my position as a male, and would like to apologize to the women that I may have tried to hard to be non-offensive around because I am too afraid of the one who will call me out as sexist when no such intent is meant.
Some guys get defensive because they might identify with a group (FOSS) and get labeled sexist (as above) while not exhibiting sexist behaviors. Some people consider this unjust and become offended when unjustly accused of something. Many women feel offended by sexist behaviors, just as some men feel offended by by being accused of being sexist simply by being a male and not because of any actions they have taken.
I think we're just far more sensitive to racism than to sexism, which makes it a bit harder to pick up acts of sexism.
Yeah! It's not like we are biologically hardwired to think about sex and procreation, so obviously sex should never be thought about by any random person. (end sarcasm) Think about that, and ask why racism seems like a more identifiable topic again.
So you are saying that electronics don't start fires? You forget about sparks that can fly off the circuit boards and components that can fail and burn before the leads do. Also, liquid solder will still keep an electronic connection. Cardboard just sounds like a dangerous idea without some kind of fire retardant in the cardboard, which generally makes it unrecyclable.
Because someone hasn't read 'A Modest Proposal', has no sense of humor, and thought the 'politically correct' thing to do would be to mod it troll. Ah, the uneducated/politically correct crowd!
It sounded more like it was a response to someone trying to gain entry to his house without invitation, not someone simply knocking on the door. I know I'd not feel comfortable in that situation. Would you?
Actually, adultery is illegal in many states in the US, and I would assume there are many other countries that also make adultery a crime. As for it being immoral? That really depends on the people involved; many couples are ok with their partner having sex with people other than themselves. While current mainstream US society might frown upon adultery, in some societies it is viewed as moral.
Wow, I can't believe I am referencing this, but they could do something like in Neon Genesis Evangelion where the 'mechas' are powered primarily by cable with a battery pack on board to provide power for a short time if the cable is cut.
Add to this the fact that there is a prevailing sentiment in a lot of the smaller rural communities here that the entire world should be Christian (and they are willing to trample the civil rights of others to that end), that anyone less conservative than W is causing the ruin of this country, that all Muslims are evil and want to destroy America (I kid you not. Actual comments from the local paper), and, frankly, that if you're not a white, "God fearing", good ol' boy that you should just get out.
I've seen just as crazy and worse people in large cities. The mix of crazy is slightly different in a large city, but there is plenty of crazy in any metropolis, suburb, or rural town.
Don't try to idolize the small towns as bastions of everything good in the country, because it's just not true.
Small towns aren't everything good, but from my anecdotal experience, they are a fair bit better than large cities as far as personalities go.
I know privacy is very important, but there are two sides to this argument. To do a good job, the doctor is going to need to know as much about your history as possible even if it is embarrassing or potentially irrelevant - especially in a system as complex and dynamic as the human body.
Good points. It is also easy to see what information the hackers are gathering and see who that information is most relevant to, especially when these attacks are as systemic as they are. The US intelligence committee are pretty experienced in the field of intelligence. If they really these actions are coming from Chine, chances are really really good that they are.
Plus, the kids that go to private schools almost always have parents that care about their education, which is sure to help the kids do better in those private institutions.

Why yes, it actually is. Reading glasses not only work on computer screens, but also on: newspapers, magazines, phones, and reports!

I believe sterility would be sufficient in this case, and it would be much more agreeable in the current culture.

Probably not, why would you assume that?

and that 160gig is flash?
What kind of flash netbooks are you buying with that much storage?
327 feet? I was hoping it could fly higher than that...

Apparently the GP did read the article, because that is what he said. Go back and read the article and the comment, you'll see that they match up.

It's not like the us vs them mentality is ingrained in us as children is it?
