Nobody said "average". As far as I understood, Valve wants at least 30FPS at all times.

Submission + - systemd starts killing your background processes by default (blog.fefe.de) 1
nautsch writes: systemd changed a default value in logind.conf to "yes", which will kill all your processes, when you log out. And as always: It's not a bug, it's a feature. Translated from the german source: "Bug of the day: systemd kills background processes on logout". There is already a bug-report over at debian: Debian bug tracker (link also from the source)

I like this argument. It's like saying: "Here are 20 heaps of shit. Choose one to step into."
Democracy works on a base of choice. If all choices are bad, you can try it yourself. But I think anybody not affiliated with one of the two parties does not stand a chance. And to get affiliated with one of the parties, you have to play the game and thus become one of those unchoosable choices yourself.
The one thing left to do is not to vote, but that only makes a difference, if everybody (or a very large group of people) does it. And by difference I mean it might be talked about, which might or might not change anything.

Of course you pay the full costs of everything the state provides. Except a small amount, which is covered by state-debt.
Who else do you think pays the full cost of all that stuff?

This is the exactly reason why there are those ratings. After a certain age, it is okay to consume said content. I cannot imagine, that your dad let you watch splatter movies at the age of 6. I am not saying, that the ratings are perfect and there are no kids, that can handle the content, but I am saying, that a 6 year old child shouldn't be made (or allowed) to see ultra violent content.
By the way. I your dad was present during those movies or games it is a completely different story.
And I call bullshit on the character building and strengthening. You sound like you had a healthy relationship with your dad, which probably was responsible for you becoming a "great man" ;-)

Its not about imparting the behavior on the child. its about content that might be disturbing for younger players. Its about protecting the child from weeks of nightmares and not to protect you from being shot by a child which played GTA (which, as you said, is probably not going to happen).
This is also the reason, why I think violence in games is much much worse than nudity or sex. I was mature enough as a kid to watch those stupid late night erotic films, so i think the kids today might be able to handle that stuff, when they can hold a controller without breaking their hands.

Comment Re:And still no death penalty for rape (Score 2) 436
In no way am I saying rape isn't bad. If rape leads to death, then it is worse than murder. Although, it depends on the method of murder. Burning alive would be much worse.
So death by fire: what? 10 minutes? probably much less, due to suffocation; Death by rape: probably hours or days of pure torture.

Yeah prove how excellent our society is by killing everyone who does something we don't like. Put them in prison by all means but killing them just proves that you are no better than them.
I am undecided on the death sentence, but I think theres a huge difference between "something we don't like" and rape. Noone should be killed for stealing a Mars bar, but for rape or murder

(preferred because somebody who really really tried could probably resurrect the old data through a mere zeroing, but it would be a lot harder if overwritten with random bytes, and way harder if you executed this command five or six times in a row).
I have NEVER seen that done or even heard of it. Could you link me to a source, where it is shown, that a zeroed drive could be used to get anything meaningful back? The "overwrite 7 times to be sure" is a myth as far as I know.

Exactly. Biometrics are not secrets. They uniquely identify an individual, but you still need a secret for security.
