Try making jokes about negative female stereotypes and see how quickly your posts got moderated down to -1 troll or flamebait by all the whiteknight pussybeggars around here.
I wonder why there are so few women on Slashdot. Could it be because of all the idiots who assume Slashdotters are always male, and accuse those who defend women's rights of doing it only to impress women?
Decrease of 150 tons of meat. Global production of meat 180 million tons. 150/180,000,000 - 0.00005%. Decrease in greenhouse gasses: 0.00005*.18 =0.000009%. Get a million of those together and you would have something.
Apart from the "I'm just one person out of 7 billion, so my meat consumption/petrol burning car/operating system choice/vote doesn't have impact" replies one could make, I'd like to point out that they are also showing a lot of young people (mostly men) that a meal doesn't have to contain meat. It is quote possible that these men will eat less meat (on average) during their lifetimes, influencing their families' consumption, and so on.
Well, the bible sold a lot of copies, and though it's just one book - its writers *definitely* needed a continuity advisor, and the lack of one is clearly evident in the bible.
The Bible is not one book. It's a compilation of several books.
Freedom or nannying, you get to pick just one.
Freedom or nannying.
Meat or vegetables.
Christian or Muslim.
Coffee or tea.
With us, or against us.
Black or white.
Never a greyscale or a third option to be seen.
Sweden's FRA spying law, nobody could quite figure out why Sweden did that in 2008
While it's no secret that the Swedish government (unlike the Swedish people) acts as the US's lapdog, the FRA law allows only spying on data that crosses the border. FRA has no right to stored data, or data that travels only within the country's borders. If you believe they do PRISM-like spying, then you have no reason to believe the FRA law was necessary in the first place.
And you might be right, because the military more or less admitted they were already doing everything that the FRA law would later allowed them to. Also, I'm pretty sure my Gmail is stored abroad, which means FRA may read everything I get sent to me.
Sometimes the father is not known or wants nothing to do with the mother. Are they still forced to take parental leave? Is the mother penalised if they don't?
No one is forced to take days off. You get a pool of 480 days off (with ~80% pay). Of those, a certain amount can only be used by the father, if one is registered. The rules are (to my knowledge) gender neutral, and work more or less the same for cases where the children are adopted, or the parents are gay.
They've had at lest three weddings that I can think of, although the only one that ended with the couple actually being wedded was Amy and Kif's. (Yes, Fonfun Ru counts!)
They wrote the license so that if you link with the code yours becomes GPL
No. They wrote the license so that if you link with the code and distribute it, yours would have to be released as GPL or any compatible license. It doesn't become GPL. You can't be forced to release the code, only to stop distributing the software linked to GPL software without following the license.
Sorry if I sound angry, but it's wording like that that enables people to get away with calling the GPL viral and cancerous.
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
