This is what I want! I wish they would do something like this with my bank account too. It would be nice if it were impossible to have a negative amount of money in my account.
You really think a terrorist would spend a ton of resources to shoot down a plane? It would be far more effective to blow up some buses. Or go on a random shooting spree in a crowd.
The big reason to protect planes against terrorist is so they can't use them as weapons. A shot down plane doesn't make a good weapon.
This whole thing is just lame.
I would use the candid camera defense. The idea is, this lawsuit is so ridiculous we must be on candid camera. Everyone involved would break out laughing saying "Oh, I get it!" and "OK, where are the cameras?" Then everyone on our side would proceed to believe it was a joke and not take anything Rupert's lawyers say seriously, etc.
Then again, there's probably a good reason I'm not a lawyer.
Not everyone receives a W-2. Also, there's income from other sources, interest, stocks, dividends, tips, etc. But I do agree it could be a lot simpler.
I have mixed feeling about letting people vote on individual projects, people don't always vote for what's best. Voting on the "lofty goal" however might be an idea.
This however:
Also these projects could have a built in rule/law that the project could not be canceled until X number of years after started and only if it had missed 50% or more of its deadlines/milestones/goals during that time(allows cancellation for those money sapping unfeasible projects, but protects projects making progress).
I would support 100%. Other than hashing out the details I can't really think of anything to say to this except "I agree".
It seems as though our politicians keep changing things. I'm not really sure how I would feel as a NASA employee, or what to work on. Obama says, "Screw the moon, I'm setting up a 20 year project to go to Mars." A few years down the line the next president will say, "Screw Mars, I'm setting up a 20 year project to go to the moon." Meanwhile congress flip flops back and forth on all kinds of things.
We ought to just pick a few projects and STICK TO THEM!
So, if you tattoo equations on your arm, would it be considered cheating on a physics test? On one hand, you aren't memorizing the equations, on the other hand, they will always be with you, which is a lot like memorization. Even better some might say.
Don't take math away. When I was a young man (preschool) I had a babysitter who tought me how to multiply using beans. It was a very easy concept for me to learn at the time. No, I couldn't pronounce 'multiplication', but the concept itself made perfect sense. It wasn't until I got to at least the first grade before anyone tried to formally teach me. You are likely teaching kids math in the wrong way. Don't make kids to twice as much math. Don't take math away. Instead, try different teaching tactics. If I can learn multiplication in a few minutes from my babysitter, surly it can't be that hard for kids to pick up at a young age.
is all he should get. Perhaps he should be rewarded, he was given the twitter account of the POTUS and he didn't even do anything with it. Now yes, the law says blah blah blah, however, this guy was just curious. He wanted to challenge himself. This country needs more people who are interested in more than American Idol and repeating the mantra "yes we can." blah blah blah, blah blah. Curiosity is what science is all about, it's how progress is made, etc.
Bah! I've got a marketing model that can blow both of these out of the water. I'm creating the most awesomest game in the whole wide world. It's name you ask?
Well, that'll cost you $1.50. Would you like to hear more about it? That'll cost you $7.25. Wanna see the trailer?
That is a very good point. Sampling would be taking a short section of text and putting using in quotes, or otherwise acknowledging in your work that you are using something that someone else wrote.
If you sample music to make your own song, you'd better credit properly and pay or else the original songwriter will end up owning your song. The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony is a classic example of that. The music behind the band is a remix of The Rolling Stone's "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and since they didn't license and credit that, The Stones now get 100% of the royalty payments for that song.
However,
In the United States, since 1991, the date of Grand Upright Music, Ltd v. Warner Bros. Records Inc., [wikipedia.org] music samples need to be cleared by the copyright holder. That's what seems to be the real distinction here- you cannot consider literary plagarism to be analogous to music sampling because in fact legal music sampling is nothing like plagarism- works are cited, permission is requested and granted and often a considerable sum of money or share of future earnings takes place.
Let is remember also that information is non-rivalrous, thank god no one can copyright all frequencies of sound, light, etc.
Everything in the end is just remixed bits of the natural world which no one created.
A lot of this has to do with what we call cause and effect and other terminology being used. Reading one side of the quantum pair 'causes' the other side to be of a certain outcome. It doesn't really mean anything spooky or mystical or faster than light is 'really' happening (for some values of reality).
Here's a different way to think about what's going on. Suppose you have some device that fires bowling balls in opposing directions, you're just not sure what direction they will go. So, on one side, you have something large that will be hit by the bowling ball... when this is hit you now know where the other ball will be, so now you know exactly where to set up an apparatus to catch the other bowling ball and convert its energy into something usable.
Remember, this is just an analogy to help you think of it in a different way. There's a lot more to what's going on than this.
I agree. I used to live in a virtual world when I was younger (not healthy btw) but an adult was able to guess my age exactly by the way I was acting. It really made me think about how I was acting and I became (or at least acted) far more mature than most of my friends (at least online). I really wish I was exposed to more adults as a child. Once I graduated high school it felt strange to interact with anyone outside my age group (IRL). I feel I've missed out on quite a bit because I had trouble talking to anyone older (or younger) than myself.
Except they've been able to "freeze" then thaw rabbit kidneys. These kidneys were then placed into a living rabbit and they functioned rather well. With more research, I can see how this could be done to entire human brains, or even bodies.
Also note, the important part of the brain is the structure. As long as it's kept intact, the memories and personality remain intact as well.

I so very much wish I had learned to do this. In general I try not to acquire things I want to keep, but even so, it's becoming a burden.

Don't they call those fries?

I was wondering the same thing. Is there anyone who can break this down for us?

I have no idea. I've been wondering this myself.

I have a similar question,
If someone asked me to (in Java say) print the numbers from 1 to 10, I would probably do something like
for (int i=1;i=10;i++) {
System.out.println(i);
}
So would most other people. Would this flag me as a cheater?

So, I've read through the comments on this topic and from what I'm getting is that correlation is NOT causation? Please explain.
Well there goes my sex drive.

The problem is, with virtual currencies you don't have to pay income tax.
