I don't know where you are getting your information about Mohammad but it certainly isn't the quran...

I checked the first few, didn't waste my time with the rest:
Sura 2:191: This is basically self-defence against those who wage war against you. I don't think anyone has a problem with that. It cannot be applied to all non-muslims as you are attempting to do.
Sura 5:33: This is basically capital punishment. Note that it applies to "those who fight GOD and His messenger, and commit horrendous crimes" - again, this does not apply to all non-muslims as you are attempting to do.
Sura: 8:12: This is about a specific battle (the battle of Badr) that occured where the muslims were outnumbered and god sent down some angels to help them. Again, not applicable to all non-muslims.
Sura: 8:60: Similar to the above. Again, not applicable to all non-muslims as you are attempting to claim.
I'm sure the rest are similar. If you really want to understand islam, I recommend you read the quran in its entirety along with some historical context.
Dude, you have totally taken those verses (suras) of the quran out of context. Ironic since christians have the same problem with atheists taking bible verses out of context in an attempt to prove how shitty christianity is...
You're comparing apples to oranges here (ie. factories to countries). For a meaningful comparison you should compare the suicide rate at Foxconn factories to the suicide rates of other factories.
What happens if you try to switch jobs?
Hacker News is NOT "old-school slashdot". Not even close.
It's generally the environmentalists yelling about global warming the loudest, and shortly thereafter telling everyone that the solution is to go back to living in caves (quite literally).
Can you back this statement up? From what I can tell, there are a few extremists in the environmental movement (as there are in any political movement) that might think this but you make it sound as if most environmentalists think this.
If you want to talk about what's "mean" the only thing I don't like is that people can see who you have in your circles
You can change this: go to your profile, click on edit. People in your circles appear on the right hand side - notice that it highlights in blue when you mouse over it - click that area and you can change the visibility. Uncheck the box to turn visibility completely off, or you can choose to just show them to people in your circles.
Yep, and KeePassDroid on Android.

This matches my observations as well.
According to the article the remaining 2% is owned by the state.
Here is another article from last year that's more in depth: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/08/fbi-terrorist-informants
According to wikipedia the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum was a 6 degree rise over 20,000 years. That's a lot of time to adapt. Compare that to the rate of change happening now. See the difference?
