Someone still has to push a button and watch the grizzly outcome. Only a psychopath would enjoy that.
There is a big difference between state-mandated murder and personal-choice suicide.
According to the so-called halal meat scandal in UK, a quick bolt to stun and then cutting the throat is a very humane and painless method of killing animals for food...
And that's what I call hypocrisy. Dead meat is dead meat. If you're happy killing for food, you shall not quibble on how since the end result is the same. The rest is justifying the means to an end,
Same applies to death penalty. If one thinks some methods are inhumane, it stands to reason that all methods of killing is inhumane - the fact remains, you are killing a human for a cause you are trying to justify.
Having a death penalty leads to less crime? Europe vs. US proves that theory is bollocks.
Especially when they're taking bribes or doing illegal searches....
This is why we know Annie AKA Darth Vader was on the good side from day one since he was involved with the plan & building of the plan, he leaked the plans, made sure they were transported by his own droids across the galaxy.
Yeah, right, retconning will fix anything.
For fucks sake, who uses Sendmail thse days?!
All we owe to them is crap software with reduced functionality. What they intended to replace, KDE with QT, is way better, functional and doesn't try to prevent me from doing things efficiently!
America did not matter during the Battle of Britain, they were out of the equation. The BoB happened in the summer of 1940, it wasn't until December 1941 US of A joined the fight, even then they didn't join willingly.
And I'm sure no one is hoarding the naked selfies... At least, I can be sure, mine...
Au contrarie, the reason Magellan and even Columbus had existed was because the Mediterranean had become a lake controlled by the Ottomans and their vassal Barbary pirates due to their usage of military science and technology better than the rest of the European powers. As a result all of North Africa and significant chunks of the Middle east and Caucuses were controlled by the same lot. That caused problems with trade and alternative routes to India and China had to be found.
First was going around Africa. Then Columbus decided that it would be quicker with the help of the trade winds to cross the Atlantic and end up in India but alas, his luck ran out, eventually he ran aground on a brand new-to-Europeans continent on his way.
Meanwhile Barbary pirates kept plundering all the way to Wales for many many decades.
Have you ever attempted to calculate the tonnage of water, food & air you go through in a single year? Even at starving-Ethiophian-levels of energy & food usage?
Bollocks. People die in Antarctica regularly with no one even thinking about it longer than the usual 24h news cycle. Citation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
If the expectations are carefully managed, even such an endevour can deal with many deaths. The problem with the NASA is the zero-death cult. Instead if they accept these as fact, learn from mistakes and get on with the work like most of them would actually like to, things could have moved significantly faster. It's not a safe business and I expect to have the death rates significantly higher than dying sitting on the breakfast table reading a newspap^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htablet.
Blaming the suit is easy, blaming the national food, the Donut, is not.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
