The sad part is most TSA agents are normal people that need a job.
There are other jobs out there. Jobs that produce wealth instead of wastes everyone's time. They might not pay much, or anything at all, but there's always something else they can do.
These types of walkers might be practical. Unmanned robotic vehicles able to walk up steps and open doors might be the next "drone". Smaller versions could search homes of suspected terrorists without fear of getting blown up.
this was the first conclusion I jumped to. There seems to be a few stories out there about disgruntled IT workers.
Never put security in the hands of someone you're not paying very well. And never tell an IT working they are being sacked until they are already gone and passwords have been changed.
I wonder if large land animals have to be warm blooded to function. One would think if a large dinosaur was cold blooded it would take a full day of sun to warm up all that mass, then when it was finally warm enough, it would be too dark to do anything useful.
I got my start in BASIC when I my mom bought me a book on the topic. However, what really got me into it was modifying games. At our school's computer lab we had a set of games created in BASIC. I would get into the code and make modifications to these games. Back then everything was simple enough I could find my way around as a kid. It was also simple enough I could look at the code, compile it and run it all on one machine without the need to download a bunch of software. I have no clue how to recreate such an experience in today's world.
I've aways felt laws, government programs and things of this sort should all have a time limit associated with them. Once they expire, they have to be debated and voted in again as if they never existed in the first place. This will also keep congress from passing too many pointless new laws, as they will be too busy maintaining the old ones.
"Turning seemingly normal comments into sexual innuendo by adding the words 'That's what she said' is a cultural phenomenon. (If you know what I mean) This has led some to wonder whether it is possible to determine when it is appropriate to add those magic four words to a sentence. As it turns out, identifying humor through software is hard. (That's what she said) Two researchers at the University of Washington, however, were willing to give it their best shot. (Yeah, I bet they are) In a recently released paper entitled 'That's What She Said: Double Entendre Identification,' the researchers describe what they've found and introduce their new approach to the problem (I'll approach your problem!): 'Double Entendre via Noun Transfer' or DEviaNT for short. (heh, short? *snicker*)"
I find it funny when I play multi player FPS's I will get all fired up and yell at the enemy at how horrible and disgusting they are and how our team is so awesome and flawless, etc.
But when it comes time to balance teams and I get automatically switched, I'll start snubbing the team I was just on and start rooting for my new team.
I'm exaggerating a bit, but I do notice the whole us verses them attitude that can change in an instant when I switch teams. Always thought it was interesting.
1. They are already trying to create big bangs in particle colliders.
2. Evolution never states field mice turn into elephants.
3. Not possible with current technology, but theories about the moon are still testable, we just need better technology.
4. We see stars forming in nebulae all the time.
5. We can already create raw energy from matter, but no one is saying it's possible to go in the other direction. Though it may be possible.
6. They have recently found time and space are not curved.
7. We have already proven that when things travel faster, time slows down for them. Now just run through the equations and you'll see your proof. Also, again, this is testable with the right amount of technology.
Just because something can't be tested with our current technology, doesn't mean it's faith. Give me any statement in science and I'll tell you what I would need to see to conclude it's false. For example, evolution can be show to be false if a mouse evolves into an elephant within our life time. Now take faith. What would you need to see to conclude God doesn't exist? Or angels, or creationism, etc.
Is there a definite mostly agreed upon distinction? I remember reading somewhere that geeks tend to like to know stuff about things and will want to tell you all about them. Like a sci-fi geek will tell you all about his favorite show, or a computer geek will know the latest and greatest gadgets, etc.
A nerd on the other hand enjoy figuring things out. Like geeks they might have a primary focus, but they tend not to go around telling everyone about it. They are more into science and technology in and of itself rather than the product of said technology. A nerd tends to think what he or she is working on will change the world in some way.
Unfortunately, I hear the opposite from other sources and even wildly different definitions depending on who you ask. So, here I ask again, is there a widely accepted definition of nerd and geek?
We don't need to kill people to control population, you just have to stop making new people. I'm not sure why this is so hard for people to understand. Is it really that complicated of an equation? I'm serious. I don't get it.
Or is it the program that interpreted the chess game into music? That is, would a bunch of random numbers being fed into the program produce just as good of a sound? Sometimes I wonder about these things.
One month in isolation would be a deterrent for most.
This would likely make things worse. A month of isolation it horrible torture for some. I'd rather have my teeth ripped out. And all for having contriband? The punishment doesn't fit the crime there.
This would be a very unwise thing to do. Putting such a chip in everyone would be very expensive. We'll need to wait for the price to go down a bit first.
Going to the launch site to see what's up? I mean, there's a smoke trail to follow, plus I'm sure there were a few local who could point you in the right direction. Using some form of triangulation, it shouldn't be hard to pinpoint exactly where this was launched from. Then just travel to the site (or see who stops you from getting to the site) and you'll have your answer as to who did this. Or am I missing something?
I agree as well. I've read better articles on quantum computing.
It seems no one can really explain how calculations are actually performed. They talk about qubits and how they have 3 states, but no one ever goes into how the 3rd superposition is actually of any use. It's frustrating at times. I could rant on, but I wont.

Or the sacked were involved in the breach.

So I suppose it would make sense that their supposed ancestors have some warm blood in them too.
What's even crazier is that we know more about outer space than we do about our oceans.
How is knowledge quantified here?
Seems like that would be an even better idea. But what do I know?

I thought of this as well. The Internet should be considered a world wonder long before wikipedia.
Then again, it's kind of like calling roads a world wonder.
One has to wonder what it really means to be a world wonder.

I agree. It seems atmospheric drag would have a far greater affect than solar winds and or light.
That actually clears some things up. Thank!

Erm... The lack of competition is what makes monopolies.
