I've been on various SSRIs, and I must add to this that even on the same person some SSRIs have different effects than other SSRIs. The first one I took (I don't remember the name atm) made my situation far worse in the beginning and I was given valium (or another -zepam) to mitigate the sideeffects in the beginning. However, later it turned out that same medication took my bloodpressure through the roof (250/150 instead of 120/80) and changed medication. I have changed medication a few times since. However, the best antidepressant I've added is bupropion, which is not a SSRI.
Sorry for nitpicking, but:
No one is suggesting that the human species will be extinct from seawater rise.
However, there are many indications that the human species will most likely not survive.
First of all, and completely off-topic, there is the expected heat-death of the universe. If there are descendants of humans still alive when that becomes immediate, they will most likely no longer be humans due to further evolution.
But more on-topic, global heating might itself be a direct cause of extinction if it continues a lot and earth becomes Venus-like. But the most likely cause of extinction is the destruction of ecosystems worldwide, especially oceanic ecosystems at the bottom of the food-chain due to acidification.
This is an extremely dangerous precedent and the government must lose this case. Otherwise, anybody could be prosecuted for anything, merely if some child gets hold of it. Bad, bad, bad.
Which is extremely convenient for an oppressive regime.
I've got the same problem with CRT televisions, less so with monitors. Because of the annoying high-pitched tone coming from them I'm glad they're going the way of the dodo.
I did do a test of which I don't know whether it counts as double blind, with a track in wav and 44.1/16, 48/24, 96/24, and 192/24 flac formats (I think from Linn records as testcase). All from the same high quality master, I played them a number of times in random order, and then checked whether I recognised them correctly. I found that 96/24 was noticably better than the lower rates, but I could not discern any difference between 96/24 and 192/24.
That said, I did do a hearing test a few years ago, which surprisingly told me my hearing was very good for my age (then low thirties). I did suffer from a sudden prolonged bout of tinnitus about seven years ago, and have repeatedly had short episodes of tinnitus after attending metal concerts (before this happened).
The release of US classified information is illegal everywhere. Otherwise anyone who spied on the US Government while in Paris would be fine.
That's not the case with any of the rules you mentioned.
This sounds like a lot of nonsense. If the release of US classified information is illegal in Paris, that is, according to French law, then you're right with regards to spying in Paris. And it could be, since the US and France are NATO allies. However, that does not make the same true everywhere else. I highly doubt that for example Iran has a similar stance on spying on the US.
That's not to say that anyone who spies on the US government in a country where that's legal is safe. The US has quite a record of extra-legally dealing with people.
In addition, if someone who spies/d on the US government were to enter US territory, it's even more likely the person would be apprehended. The US government likely views itself as having universal jurisdiction where people embarrassing it are concerned, regardless of whether this is in line with international law.
I use Linux almost all the time at home, I have been playing some online games recently which just play in a browser. But all in all I game a lot less than some years ago.
Even my USB2 soundcard (Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6) works in Linux.
In my experience the citizen limitation only applies to national elections, not to local ones. A resident in a city who is a citizen of another country, can vote for the city council in the city, but not in the national elections of the country in which that city is located. However (s)he can vote in the national elections of the country of which (s)he is a citizen, but not in any local elections of that country since (s)he is not a resident there. The exact rules do vary from country to country of course.
$0.99 per mp3 is ridiculously high. If an album has say 10 songs that would mean $9.90 for an album in the low quality mp3 format. You can often find hard copies of albums for that price. For a soft copy (which has no production costs per unit, only production costs for the initial unit), the price should be much lower. I'm thinking along the line of at most $2.00 per album in lossless format (possibly including access to relatively high quality lossy), and low quality lossy (say 128k mp3) available as free preview.
Probably none, but you could still buy the cellphone in a shop not linked to one telco.
As it is, the same is happening with prepaid sims. The telco shops refuse to sell it to you, but if you go to a shop selling from multiple providers they will happily sell it to you.
I had samples in 44.1/16,48/24,96/24 and 192/24 all in flac format.
I wrote a script to put multiple copies of two of the samples in a directory in random order under the names sample1 to sample6 (three copies of each). Then I played them back and judged which were the better samples. Result:
44.1/16<48/24<96/24==192/24
In other words: for me, 96/24 makes sense, but 192/24 not. Unless of course you want to process the files further (remixing, adding effects), in that case, the more headroom the better.
So is it pointless to distribute in 192/24?
If the recording was done at a lower resolution, certainly. If it was recorded at that resolution it depends.
It's not pointless if you want other people to further process the music (which I think is not uncommon for electronic stuff).
If you don't want other people to process it further, but want to give them the highest quality and your dithering and downsampling algorithms are good, then 96/24 should be enough. If you're unsure about the quality of your dithering and downsampling algorithms then it's best to leave it at 192/24.
If you just want to distribute a sample with users buying higher quality if they like it, then 44.1/16 should be enough and if the audio doesn't use a lot of high tones a lower sampling rate can work as well. If you don't care about the listeners but only about their money (think RIAA and co), then you can go as low as you want as long as it's not that atrocious that the fools won't buy it anymore.

But my Nokia 6120 classic does everything I read so far, except for the touch screen. I'm sure other smartphones with a touchscreen do count as prior art though.
Studies be damned, there's a huge difference between talking using a handsfree and holding the phone. Handsfree, it's no different or more distracting than talking to a passenger. But the second that phone and hand goes to the ear, it's like half the brain shuts off. It happens to me, it happens to my wife and it appears to happen to just about everyone else. One of our driving games is to guess whether the person driving 20 mph under traffic flow/having trouble staying in lane/driiiiifting over slowly when changing lanes is on the phone. I wish i'd kept records for the "show me the data" crowd here, but after a few years of this game I can tell you that the hand to ear oblivi-bots are winning. It's getting to the point it's not fun anymore, we could just say "on the phone" and most of the time we'll be right. not much of a game these days.
I disagree. A passenger can also see what's happening on the road, and can change the flow of conversation to adapt to the traffic. A year ago or so a friend of mine was talking handsfree but the conversation distracted her enough to cause her to bump into the car in front of her (luckily no one was physically hurt). Of course hands free is still better than holding it to your ear.
The Pirate Bay has advertisements and they generally make better money with them. Especially that large Download-button on their torrent page that is really a toolbar. They get paid for every unsuspecting user who installs it, and it's advertised and worded in a way that less known users will think it's the torrent download.
I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas
I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge
I've got lots and lots of lira. Now the deutschmark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills could buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
There is nothing quite as wonderful as money!
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash!
Some people say it's folly, but I'd rather have the lolly,
With money you can make a splash!
There is nothing quite as wonderful as money!
There is nothing like a newly minted pound!
Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker
It's accountancy that makes the world go round!
You can keep your Marxist ways, for it's only just a phase...
Money, money, money makes the world go round!
Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money! Money!

The UI changes do not bother me that much, but the fact that it's much slower to start up does.

Microsoft will most likely not provide free licenses, just less expensive licenses using an academic volume licensing contract.

Even better, get rid of flash ads. The advertisers should only allow text and non-animated graphics. That closes the flash-malware hole.
Add Better Privacy to that as well, to remove flash cookies.

A bit nitpicking, but even less procreation has an effect on the gene pool. The driver could otherwise have procreated more.
