Greatest Success: Installing Heroes of Might & Magic 3 in 2005.
Greatest weakness: Not being able to install said program anymore in 2017.

And sometimes both groups, the poor and the mentalliy ill, overlap with the former being a dominant marker in the process of becoming homeless - at least in a a welfare state like Germaany this is happening. How much more so in the US.

From what I see there is a widespread tolerance towards religious people especially among non-religious people, so every outcome of a study, that describes how remote the points of disagreements between the two are in real-life, doesn't surprise me. Unfortunately tolerance and benignity is more and more a matter of the non-religious. I'm waiting for the day when this is going to change.

It's a pity that those who share this Haplotype do not enjoy full backwards compatibility.

So you have the same serenity and tranquility about your own being robbed, raped (yes, rape is "just natural" for some fellow humans) and slaughtered? Or is it, that your concept of nature is severely flawed by allocating cruelty just to all species except of that you belong to?

It's a sign of human civilization to take responsibility for life circumstances of beings who are at our mercy and understand that they are sentient beings avoiding suffering and pain as best as they are able to. We should help them to minimize their suffering and pain whenever possible.
It is due to ignorance and greed however, that some do not care a bit and even justify cruelty.

The pro-nucular bias of the Slashdot audience is always amazing - technocratic and enomically ignorant.
Germany's government effectively reinstalled the former agreement which hasalready been set up with the German nuclear industry years ago, today. There is nothing new here so stop standing and looking. Germany is researching ways of substituting the meager 22% (before the most recent de-plugs of the older plants) of its Atomkraftanteil. There is a chance that other economies will ask for what Germany has to offer someday - not just on the field of renewables but also how to get rid of defunct plants and other still unsolved problems of nuclear power generation.
What the country is doing now has a grounding, or do you really think the Germans with their fetish realationship to their industry production would do such a thing head-over-heels?

Great example of vulgar-marxist black-white thinking rough-and-ready painted in rainbow colors. Why should a vulnerable society under attack like Israel behave in accordance to your Swedish arcadian gardenplot democracy.
BTW the shameful events in Malmà have been broadcasted and drilled down by left-liberal german tele. Now you can accuse me of putting too much emphasis on the history of my country, wouldn't be surprised, since you even do not have the balls to say, 'yes, islamic immigrants threatened and hunted down jewish citizens, yes, swedish executive did nothing to stop that, officials of the city of Malmà replied what you just replied ("don't THOSE jews deserve a bit of mistreatment, considered what THEY are doing to the palestinians!"), yes a lot of swedish jews fleed the country, because they didn't feel accepted there any more and yes, this is all shameful'.

Well, swedish penguin, following your logic and your word usage, since the swedish governement is either unable or unwilling to protect your fellow jewish citizens from being attacked by hateful islamic immigrants, it is absolutely appropriate to be anti-Sweden from now on, isn't it?

I guess, the way a lot of older folks think is, if I can't be sure of the consequences of pushing this button, because I can't deduce the function from its icon, I definately wouldn't be able to revert what I have done either. That's quite wise actually.

Even with only a single machine running with Centos5, I would have felt much more uncomfortable with that one with all the security updates from the upstream-vendor waiting for testing and release in the Centos domain, while ScientificL had them all out in-time (as quick as they usually offer them to the users). This inexplainable hiatus of bug fix and security update releases hasn't occurred for the first time. I always wonder how this behavior is overlooked by many of Centos' vocal supporters, many of them claiming to use this distro on a number of business machines and feeling happy with it, so everything is fine.

...when you have vast parts of the population living in poverty and uneducated.
Care for the social crcumstances of your people, invest in your country's educational infrastructure and acceptance of and interest for science will increase in the whole society. There are more studies than I can count, putting low educational standards in relation to wacky religious mindsets like those of Christians and Muslims - and vice versa.

"I suspect that the majority of users are more likely to be satisfied with KDE 4.6 than GNOME 3."

Use a distribution that supports Gnome 2 for another 7+ years then.

Let's take away their privacy when they are kids, so they will be accustomed to a life without it when they are adults.

It's disillusionment, really. Most of my fellow westerners have realized, that democracy doesn't have the slightest chance in near and middle east anyway. There is no soil for it.
Some people may call the outcome of the recent events in egypt and tunisia 'a democratic regime', but for us it's not; like the so called Cairo declaration of human rights does not deserve to wear the words 'human rights'.
BTW we westerners are fully occupied with struggling against our governements for our own countries' freedom.

...you insensitive Americans. Seriously, I used to prefer it rare and with pepper. And still today, when one of those mobile sausage grills is near it's mouthwatering for me. However, when I found out I was not that dependent on eating meat as I thought for the first three decades of my life I would be, I just stopped. I feel for the creatures and don't want them to be slaughtered for a tasty meal, so I enjoy tasty meals without meat. BTW this episode of Twilight Zone (or a similar 90s mystery tv show) comes to my mind. Humans had discovered a planet with easy to kill animals living on it and so they started a massacer for fun - until the parents came. Turned out the planet was kind of a cradle for this species. From tough heartless hunters to whining little boys. Farewell mankind!
