Comment Re:Consensus = valve will die? (Linux will die!) (Score 0) 316

No, to the contrary: Linux will die !

But will then be reanimated by some caring loving zealots, these zealots will wander out into the world. When they reach the golden city of "Shrandunbar", they will dissolve after a brutal and bloody flame war(really bloody!). Then there will be 2 ways of believe, but beware the devil lurks around the corner. He the rich benefactor will then create a new believe of Hakuna Matata and will try to bring Unity but this will lead to dispare, because of the sect of the cross("X") crucifying everyone of no believe. Then there would be another saviour they are called the Borg, they will virtualize you, interpret you and sell you privacy to the highest bidder, and they will use your unencrypted chit chatter for their cube formed space ships to navigate. This will be called Borgdroid, BorgMaps, Borgleing, and after that we will be assimilated. And Linux will be dead again!

And after this war is over, Metrosexuality will be the norm, you will try to buy a classic desktop but the Metroman accuses you of sexual harrassment, and you will be re-educated.

Comment get a proffesional one from eBay (low priced) (Score 1) 118

Hi,

there are many proffessional microscopes availible on ebay, and they come at a very reasonable price too,
- USB--Scopes: forget the USB-Trash .. if USB-Scope.price > 30 US$ then don't take it.

You can get laboratory grade equitment there for arround 100 US$, binoculars and microscopes as well.

btw.
You are operating it ? -> Try it the other way arround, he will learn more quickly from his OWN mistakes, rather than from yours.

You are just a supervisor(to prevent dead serious injuries of course), adviser and the nurse, the guy with the band aid, when he broke the glass and cut himself, and the one whom later says "told you so". Except, he will remember the pain and will likely not do so again.

Comment Re:Educating one's child is a human right (Score 1) 568

a.) The "Schulpflicht" duty to attend a school (public or private) seems not to be instituted by Hitler *wiki-says-so* -> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulpflicht
dates to "Weimarer Republik" 1919, Hilter claimed his totalitarian power in 1933

b.) hate speech in itself is a violation of human rights, and violations of human rights get prosecuted, and the victims of hate speech are not those who give the speech

c.) Saying "Sodomy is wrong" is no hate speech and for saying so you won't be prosecuted in Germany
Saying "All Sodomists should be killed" instead would likely be hate speech.

d.) "abortion is ok", but only under certain conditions, it is no "hate crime" or "hate speech" because abortion is not killing fetus because they are hated, but because the circumstances of the pregnant women might be to difficult to continue the pregnancy.

e.) So teaching a child the own believe or ideology is not a totalitarian act against the child ?

But nobody in Germany will stop you from teaching your own believes to your children, after school, except if you deny your child the public school education, where no religion is taught - can be replaced by philosophy or free study time, and the evolution theory is not religion it's a scientific theory,
you can still teach your children the opposite at home after school.

Human rights, and the right to get educated are not a one sided view, these rights are born to humans and also put into force even against
parents. And schools do not teach ideology, (in Germany at least) there is a christian(catholic & protestant) religous education in school but it can be replaced by philosophy instead or even replaced by free study time, it doesn't matter if your catholic, protestant, otherbeliever or non-believer you can attend religous education or philosphy. By the age of 14 youths are able to choose their religion of their own choice (in Germany).

Teaching is not promoting ideology, teaching tries to make a human being able to understand itself and ask & discuss the worlds governing questions (From where do we come ? Where do we go ? Who am I ? ) on a logical basis.

Human Rights:
Education is not religion. And yes there is a conflict, but Germany choose the school duty because to achieve
the human right for education as 26-1 precedes 26-3 and so has a higher priority. You can found a private confessional school, as long as you follow the basic guidelines of the educational board.

Courts decided to give social learning a higher priority than the parents right to chose the education of their children (chosing -> not teaching). The parents still have the freedom to bring their children into a confessional christian school, but not schooling them at home, because learning is a social act. And
thus article 26-(1/2/3) of the universal delaration of human rights is satisfied.

Comment Re:Americans have greater liberty (Score 1) 568

Well, in germany we try to differentiate beetween prooven historic facts and freedom of speech.

That way Günther Grass was able to publish his critically acclaimed essay about that israel is threatening the world peace, and not being prosecuted.
Freedom of speech does not protected him against the shitstorm that broke out.

If you make a statement that the mass murdering of 6 Million people didn't occured in public you are prosecuted, and not for being politically incorrect, but for denying a crime to facillitate hate against other groups. Those guys which try to counter that it didn't happen, well even modern nazis just use those to facillitate hate speech against certain groups, most newnazis know that the crime happend, but before that specific law those historic researchers were presented at every newnazi conference, just to troll.

Saying that one is PI has the tendency of making yourself appear to be the prosecuted one, and that way making it hard to argue against, or would it make look like the other one is at fault, because he is one of the prosecuters.

For example your "homeschoolers" and "rapists" that is a typically PI tactic for labelling one to be concived as the ill-prosecuted. Why not just write that "homeschoolers are prosecuted in Germany because in Germany there is a law which states every kid shall attend school to the age of at least 14 (Schulpflicht)"
That would be just the facts, because in germany not only hoomschoolers and rapists are prosecuted so are thieves, fraudsters and even speeders.

And by the way, combining PI ideas with the german word "verboten" (=forbidden) is a very clever tactic, as this word is widely understood, even when the reader does not speak german. This term is known to those, because of movies about the nazi-era and that way has a bitter taste as it's connected to certain emotions for you to be concived as the prosecuted one, even if you would be possibly a nazi, and catch22 those legislation is targeted at nazi-people.

Colourfull example:
Nazi1 to Nazi2: "You are a Nazi because you nazied away my freedom of speech, to say that the hollocaust didn't happen. You bad Nazi Nazi Nazi."

Nazi2: "Now I see, my dear Nazi how could I be so wrong to nazi away your freedom of speech to say Nazi things and shit on 6 Million dead jews, 1 Million dead sinti and roma(gipsy people) and 500000 politically prosecuted people. I must have been a real Nazi"

Do you find the Nazi in the story ?

Btw. what was it about ?
Nazi wind turbines !
Naz solar panels !

Actually, you are mostly wrong:

- it does replace power sources (have a look at -> http://www.transparency.eex.com/en/ - seems atm not to be working for actual production)
in that case wind is replaced by solar, as wind replaces, solar the other time of the year,
(when the sun is not shining in summer you mostly have higher wind speeds)

- peak demand occurs while daytime
peak production occurs while daytime

- your "mostly" and mine "mostly" because, yes to match situations which out of the unpredicted range (plant goes dark or else)
you need stored energy to "replace"

- "hydrogen is not an energy source"
hydrogen today is an energy source because +95% is cracked out of natural gas, but it is the target to use hydrogen as a storage media.

Nuclear power really could be done safely but as the history provides proof, it has never be done, because of the cost.

And since when is 20% the majority and 80% the minority. Since a representive inquiry in Japan found that 80% off the people want to phase out nuclear power.

"While nuclear can be done safely, .." is a term for "nulcear can be done as safely as a possibility, but with an event of very low probability that can lead to the highest possible damage".

Ok, you do this next time you spot a predator drone in international waters, I bet 30s later your boat has a big hole in it.

And for being up front against such an unlawfull interaction like shooting something down. The drone is in international skies not waters as long as the drone does not attack or else shooting it down is prohibited.
