What ever makes you refer to logic??? The issue here is Religion! There is no logic!

This is, For my part, Not about associating Hitler/Stalin with Religion, But disassociating them from Atheism. The idea that Hitler was an Atheist is a new meme, spread by Christians, And it is manifestly false. The NAZI-Party, And Hitler as a person, Was both very Christian.

As fore; "Religion is a bad thing...", NO! Religion is insanity! And until people stop treating the religious with respect, And start treating them as sick, We will continue to see religious people do the kind of sick, demented shit, That this breivik asshole have done.

You might want to try Mao or Pol Pot, At least with them you could make a reasonable argument for your case.

Hitler said a lot of differenced things when it came to Christianity, Specifically he had a deep hatred of the church (Roman Catholic), This is often used, By many Christians, As a way to "muddy the waters" when dealing with the fact that Hitler was a Christian. Hitler was a Christian. He simply did not subscribe to the mainstream "version" being push by the church, That is; He believed that the church had "strayed" from real Christianity, And if we could only return to the good old days we would all be "saved" from the horror of the godless new world order! sound familiar?

Stalin is somewhat harder to declare Christian, How could the Stalin be anything but a godless commie?!?! Well.. Put on your tin-foil hat and google; stalin+jesuit

Programming

Submission + - 'The Code Has Already Been Written'

theodp writes: John D. Cook points out there's a major divide between the way scientists and programmers view the software they write. Scientists see their software as a kind of exoskeleton, an extension of themselves. Programmers, on the other hand, see their software as something they will hand over to someone else, more like building a robot. To a scientist, the software soup's done when they get what they want out of it, while professional programmers give more thought to reproducibility, maintainability, and correctness. So what happens when the twain meet? 'The real tension,' says Cook, 'comes when a piece of research software is suddenly expected to be ready for production. The scientist will say 'the code has already been written' and can't imagine it would take much work, if any, to prepare the software for its new responsibilities. They don't understand how hard it is for an engineer to turn an exoskeleton into a self-sufficient robot.'

An anonymous reader writes: Pop the champagne corks. The Texas Board of Education has unanimously come down on the side of evolution.

An anonymous reader writes: Oracle has bought Ksplice Inc., the company behind the software that allows a rebootless kernel change. And now it might jolly well be that only Oracle becomes the provider for zero downtime updates.
Google

Submission + - The Great Google+ Gatsbys

theodp writes: While Facebook started out and grew among college students, noted Dave Winer, Google+ is starting out in Silicon Valley and giving the usual insiders the chance to have the most followers long before Facebook-average-Joes are allowed in. And among the most-followed insiders on Google+ are Google execs, whose public posts have a kind of Great Gatsby-vibe to them. Gawker was amazed to see Google exec Marissa Mayer use the service to document how police blocked a key San Francisco artery during rush hour on her behalf so she could upgrade her opulent Four Seasons penthouse with a too-expensive-for-Denver Chihuly glass installation (which did double-duty as a makeshift infant playpen). And the WSJ gushed over how Google+ VP Bradley Horowitz used the service to document how he jetted to Paris to put a ring on his fiancee under the stars at Lasserre (his wife-to-be posted pics of the fare; the menu includes $185 appetizers). Horowitz later used the service to thank Mercedes Benz for making the $138,000 S63 sedan that saved Google+ SVP Vic Gundotra from his own distracted driving, and plugged the ensuing Google-branded buy-a-Benz-or-die ad. Business Insider observed that Google CEO Larry Page recommends kiteboarding in Alaska as a fun way to kill time. And in his handful of posts, Google co-founder Sergey Brin has posted pics documenting visits to Egypt, the Galapagos, and Venice.
Apple

Submission + - Adobe says Apple "needs to catch up" with Flash (cbronline.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Adobe is again asking when Apple will support Flash, and also arguing that Apple's mobile devices won't retain leading market share for long. But Apple maintains there are lots of reasons it won't support Flash.
Japan

Submission + - 70% of Japan's nuclear reactors remain shut (nhk.or.jp)

AmiMoJo writes: "37 nuclear reactors in Japan, or nearly 70 percent of them, remain shut. This includes 2 reactors that were recently closed for regular inspections. Inspections for 11 of the 37 reactors will finish by August, but it is still unknown when any they will resume generating due to the government's new stress-test requirements.

Among the 13 other reactors still in operation, 5 will be stopped by autumn, 6 by winter, and 2 by spring. This would leave Japan with no nuclear reactors in operation by spring next year"

Linux

Submission + - Linus Torvalds Releases Linux Kernel 3.0 (muktware.com)

sfcrazy writes: After slight delay Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux kernel 3.0 on Google +. His one liner was "3.0 pushed out." Linus explains, "As already mentioned several times, there are no special landmark features or incompatibilities related to the version number change, it's simply a way to drop an inconvenient numbering system in honor of twenty years of Linux. In fact, the 3.0 merge window was calmer than most, and apart from some excitement from RCU I'd have called it really smooth. Which is not to say that there may not be bugs, but if anything, there are hopefully fewer than usual, rather than the normal ".0" problems."
Australia

Submission + - Decision: Still no R18+ for Australia (gamepron.com)

dotarray writes: In Adelaide today, the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General was again unable to reach a unanimous decision on the topic of whether or not Australia should have an R18+ rating for video games.
Intel

Submission + - Quarter of laptops to run ARM by 2015 (pcauthority.com.au)

An anonymous reader writes: ARM will grab a nearly a quarter of the laptop market within the next four years, according to analyst firm IHS iSuppli. The analyst firm predicted 22.9% of laptops will run on ARM processors by 2015 as the UK company helps manufacturers give "some real competition" to Intel. Microsoft announced at the beginning of the year that Windows 8 would support ARM processors, as it looks to gain a foothold in the tablet market.

Submission + - Hillary Clinton Offshores Data.gov

theodp writes: ZDNet reports that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's office issued a fact sheet during her visit to India confirming that the U.S. and India will be working together to develop an open source version of the Data.gov project, which was launched in 2009 by off-to-Harvard Federal CIO Vivek Kundra to serve as a central repository of data collected by the US government. The Hindu Business Line notes that Clinton was also pressed to exempt Indian techies in the States on H-1B or L1 visas from US social security taxes, an exemption that, if granted, could reportedly result in savings of at least a billion dollars for the country's software industry.
