If you follow the literal contents of the books you end up with the 10 commandments and good luck imitating God's killings without being God (a capital sin justified with a sin? sorry, it's downstairs for you).

If you follow the literal contents you also assert you understand them 100% which is quite a feat, but never mind that.

If somebody wrote books like those today, he'd find himself in the same position as the Mohammed guy, where his assertions would either be questioned or used, if fitting some powerful interest's agenda.

So if you blame Mohammed instead of those interests, you make a great favor to those interests because they can change their ideology as easily as you can buy a pair of shoes.

> Given that atheism doesn't give any exclusive right of life and death to man...
not directly, but those are details.
who is the source of any system of values so far? for atheism, man.

> All non-religious texts?
yes, if you follow the rationale behind banning the description of a god's action, you ought to realize that the removal of such god is even more dangerous. In other words, waiting for a god to possess you and make you kill (which is the only way to be sure a god is behind it) is safer than wondering whether to kill or not.

> Why do "people" have a special place in existence again?
Because soylentnews is PEOPLE!
-- oops sorry, wrong site. Let's try again.

> Why do "people" have a special place in existence again?
Dunno, but I asked around.
God simply referred to some of His old press releases, and sent me to the "prince of this world" for more insight. So I went to Satan, which did not reply either, proclaimed "my work here is done" and flew away.

> Seriously the Koran itself should be banned as should the bible or the Torah for any criminal actions it promotes

Some of those books delegate the exclusive right of life and death to a hidden god, so removing it from man.
Which means I'd ban atheism too, as it's far more dangerous in theory, and Mammon, aka money, which is far more dangerous in practice.

Does this seem to you the right place to start a real programming language vs. visual basic flamewar?

They should not bother being behind the attacks. They can just wait a lil longer until auntie and nephew both agree when a politician comes up on TV shouting: Damn hackers! we need internet regulation!

The (cyber) antagonists, are likely useful idiots when two things occur:
1- their target is made of mostly normal people, and does not involve structural damage or structural revolution of the status quo.
2- their act gets lots of attention in the media.

One would be really antagonist if you made useful FOSS, new ways of generating energy, 3d printing breakthroughs, direct democracy schemes.

Speculation becomes news when somebody adopts an official position about it.

My 2c is that either NK is not behind it, or NK is not considered a menace. Else the attack would be downplayed and covered in FUD as all enemy achievements in war always are.

If dyne is a foundation, I don't see why there must be another entity for Devuan, since the objectives are the same. It's like 300â down the drain yearly for mere bureaucracy. If a bunch of devuan devs got elected to "lead" the distro and dyne.org staff did not respect their decisions, dyne would be a hindrance, but I'd wait for this to happen and or provide some substance to your fraud accusation. AFAIK, a foundation would need accounting tricks or no funds appropriation can take place.

Wait, but devuan is the fork, so systemd must be the spaghetti.

Doubts?
man journald.conf and appreciate systemd's implicit mandate for backup suffixes that won't fill your hd undetected as an exercise.

As for me, my init is sh: Still a better log story than systemd.

In other words, life is chaos x time in the context of some rules.
As an oversimplified example, fill a conway's game of life world with noise and let it go for a while.

What aquires, for whatever reasons, characteristics that make it easy for it to persist, eventually persists.

I still prefer the genesis definition grow, multiply, populate (adapt for you dawinian newfags).

I boot linux from a vfat formatted USB stick, you case insensitive clod.

You don't do that, you pick the useful idiots, provoke them a bit and then treat them as dangerous.And even if they are dangerous who are they gonna go after? Hackers have all the info on sony execs, but who really owns it? Who really dictate its policies? PHBs make insane amount of money not because they are worth them, they do because they follow the rules of the system.

What can be explained as a propaganda campaign. Expect this controversial piece of fine art to reach you a way or the other.

Well It would have been pure genius to fake a shark to conduct surveillance. That must be one of the lowest attention grabbing creatures in the sea?

- Hey Achmed, what's that dark silhouette approaching?
- Bah, nothing, it's a shark. What were you saying about our new cell?
