bumped··on Ask HN: How to make sense of death in Rangers game?
As inhumane as the treatment of animals has been, you should see how we've treated each other. That being said, let's not question the importance of deaths that are relative to one's background or focus. Death should never be devalued no matter how "freak" or "accidental".

Yes. $1$salt$ciphered-text

The $1 is for MD5, the salt includes that $1 and the last $, so to crypt the text in php you do crypt($password, '$1$salt$'). Use single quotes to prevent $ from turning into variables. $password in this case (according to mtgox) was md5('password string').

Aha. But I did, so I get all of the negative karma points. They are all mine :)

I love human life too much to celebrate the birthday of a soulless corporation, managed by evil people at that time, that knowingly profited from atrocities.

As destructive as the concealed gun has been, it has saved man from both beast and himself. The colt revolver was a practical device that allowed individual parts to be replaced, fired multiple shots in succession (as one inaccurate bullet could not down a giant bear), and was used by law enforcement and villains alike. The principles of interchangeable parts had a huge impact as well as the revolver as a means of protecting life and liberty.

That was the exact one I was thinking of. I really think you should look at the source that I linked to though. IBM knew what it was participating in and has since apologized (though never paid for it).

The internet brings people closer to facts than they have ever been in history; yet no proximity will ever exceed what you already believe to be true. IBM knowingly participated, and apologized only a few years ago, but never returned any of the profits. The distinction made throughout the responses here is that IBM knew nothing so are as non-culpable as someone who invents a weapon or a utility that is later weaponized. This is untrue, as you read, but that disbelief is part of what allowed the holocaust to continue. I read a narrative once of someone who was watching World War I brew, describing it as a non-event that would not transpire because he could not imagine people with top hats engaging in the brutish behaviors of their predecessors.

Out of curiosity, what makes it the first modern genocide? At what point do the other genocides leading up to the holocaust not count as modern?

While their jew counting, Nazi profits turn 66.
