Further if you ever had to survive like a hunter gatherer. On the move. You eat whatever it is you see thats within arms reach while moving. Grabbing the low hanging fruit as you go so to speak. Or stopping for a moment if you see a particularly good food source. Meaning those were varied diets as well that depended on environment and instinct - tradition - following what you were taught.
There is an extreme difference between first world vegans who refuse to step outside of their diet ever and do not practice time honored tradition and read the "science reports' and buy shit food from American companies.
And real Veganism. Or diets simply light on meat but supplemented with other sources of protein and fat. 1 out of 100 "Vegans" I have ever met even know anything realistic and pragmatic about their diets. That means 99 % of them are idiots killing themselves just as bad as Big Mac Lovers.
P.S. A varied diet is the best diet you can ever have. The more varied and rich (pun intended) your diet is. The healthier you'll ever be. And every individual has a tendency to want foods that are better suited to their individual needs once you take the sugar and corn syrup off the table.
There hasn't been a triple aaa title released that didn't have it's own in house engine developers that was any good.
Skyrim being the last one I played.
Call of duty sucks balls.
Halo, Unreal, Half Life all great titles all releasing stuff all great games, but they have no need for unity3d. Same with FarCry but they sold out and are producing arcade shit instead of military grade simulations so screw them.
50% is not good enough for medical science, they want guaranteed cures with well understood results. But if the WHITE PAPERS were fucking available to us we should be able to sell it as a non-medical treatment without guaranteed results.
Fat chance advertising it though and getting any credibility in our crazy ass fascist SCIENCE ONLY PLEASE culture.
There's also sound waves that break up and disturb pathogens as well. But no sonic waves can't do that... without harming the rest of the host. Bullshit.
-not posting in AC because these two under-rated techs deserve my full pseudonymous support.
I will ignore any people flaming or trolling me for conspiracy, or quackery. Go fuck yourselves and suffer the consequences of the life you chose. But don't chose it for others by lobbying against this stuff.
Actually there are a few other posts criticizing the media's linking this in any form or fashion to Julian or Wiki leaks and not condoning this guys behavior. I just was bold enough to say that it may be more like this guy serving a greater agenda than flaming a republican campaign and doing it badly.
At least even indirectly. So cry me a river if you don't see any humor in any of that or insight.
Note that this is completely unfounded. And a theory;p I don't need a million arguments why I could be wrong, I already know them.
But it is possible that this guy is a plant to defame people like Julian Assange. Or other geeks who may try similar tactics in desperation down the road.
I do not condone this guys actions. He has damaged the reputation of everyone who speaks against the current political regime in everyones eyes.
But please sane people of the world do not associate one mans behavior with another mans agenda far away despite what the press says. Julian and this guy are not even apples and oranges.
There is no scientific evidence to support humans being able to utilize their eyes in such a way. But there is quite some precedent for mystics and auras. There have been a few studies. But they didn't want to say one way or the other. They ruled out the impossibility but pointed out the improbability of humans being able to see effects like these.
Than again. There is training which could make some better than others. But the sample size for people who claim to have this training is abysmal. And MOST are crazy or seeing hallucinations.
That does not mean I do not envision Bene Gesserits or Mentats. But we are certainly headed down the technological path instead of the biological. Those might not exist currently and would require concerted breeding and evolution of people with better perception.
One could use this as an argument to bolster the opinion that America is a society of poor cheap bastards. When are we going to do something about that? Is the press going to say anything anytime soon? Nope.
The wealth of our lives, society, culture, nation, corporations, schools, friends, newspapers, blogs, cakes all depends on the enrichment of our society.
But we are being treated like slaves and even our overlords can't afford the caviar now it seems.
Hopefully a large amount of people continue to elect for Friday surgery keeping the rest of the days safer for us all. Or we would have to institute some kind of National selection committee for mandating Friday surgeries for the good of all the citizens.
Also the Thief series, PlaneScape:Torment and many others have dll overrides which replace functionality from directx to work on modern video cards for games that still work native but have hardware issues.
If were talking PC architecture or similar there are plenty good emulators or hacks to make the games work. Maybe not all of them. But an uncountable number.
I must admit that my assumptions are partially untrue in a logical sense. As we cannot predict alternative time lines. But thank you for the praise =) I suppose in a sense all things we do like this as a society can lead to potentially good (and bad) things. I would like to think that we are all somehow capable of doing this unintentional good however =)
It is just as possible those GPUs could be used to make a weapon.
I suppose like you say it is entirely a matter of perspective. And in this case a good perspective is good to have =)
I am not a biologist or very knowledgeable. However it seems according to this quote from the article:
While no current HIV drugs target the HIV capsid, it is seen as "an attractive target for the development of new antiretroviral drugs" because scientists have discovered that the disruption of capsid functioning via a protein produced by Rhesus monkeys has given them an immunity to HIV.
Perhaps some how managing to introduce something like you said into our biology that would damage the capsid once it was in a cell would allow nature to do the rest. And we would not even need further drugs.
I have not tried the other version since I have a really personalized install of BG and Tutu. Though I read other good reviews on the official bg forums about the enhanced edition so thought it worth mentioning. Thanks for the alternative viewpoint though. And don't get me wrong I don't think BG or BGII are the pinnacle of gaming. I just can't think of any more prominent examples off the top of my head of well loved and extremely long lived games.
I guess all those gamers aren't useless after all. You can thank me later for my donations to Nvidia's profits. So they could research and develop this technology.
Agreed. But this may have not been the right time or place to pursue these individuals. Particularly if the cop could identify they were wanted before engaging them. But if he was in the process of making an arrest and there was a show of force. I could bend the rules and say maybe they needed to be stopped. But fleeing from the scene after one of their fellows were shot by an officer of the law is pretty normal.
I cannot judge them because the information available is limited. Honestly they could have been wanted for any number of crimes. Where would you draw the line?
I would probably pursue if they were very dangerous criminals with multiple murder charges. If there can be a trial after they evade arrest and they can be charged guilty by a jury than it is fair to just kill them on site. This is of course if they were actually served and denied the court summons or fled prior arrest. And if their crimes and judgement befits capitol punishment.
But even dangerous people in this country who were not charged and found guilty for a capitol offense deserve the chance to demonstrate peaceful behavior. Maybe you are afraid that complete lawlessness and chaos would erupt under such a noble gesture. But all they have to do is screw it up once enough that their peers find them unworthy of second chances. This assumes a fair justice system.
Our justice system is not always fair.
That is why many argue that perhaps in this case they should have been let go. We cannot judge this without all the facts. That may come out later if the law enforcement officers are charged. Which I doubt. Question is who gets to make that call as well. Perhaps we have laws and regulations and rules and procedures to help the majority of people make these hard decisions. Again I am not educated enough to say for sure. Personally when someone innocent is killed I think all parties involved should be held accountable and they should be examined by the full extent of the law. It is the responsibility an officer bears by being elevated to the position of using deadly force. Just like in the military a commander can be held accountable for the loss of an Airplane, or civilian casualties. Even if it was not their intention. It is how we select the BEST to protect and serve.
But I would have let them go for anything less than murder.
Oh and additionally with some of the most loved franchises you don't even need emulators or virtualization. They are being lovingly adapted to modern times.
Emulators are already advanced enough for anything done with windows 3.1 or dos back on pentium ones. As we move forward you will get better virtualization and emulation of that hardware. It's worth it to keep the original game data.
There are also projects like Exult. Or Ioquake that keep that data viable long past its shelf life. People still mod retro game engines, like the infinity engine. There's occasionaly a new mod or a patch to old mods from time to time for BGII and BGI. People do stuff like BGTutu.
This is a few examples. There might be others that I don't know about. Everquest I will still be around probably long after the SoE servers shut down in some form or fashion. At least the code for good server emulators exists. Hopefully it will get released to the public when the time is right.
People still do occasionally even play Diablo II over lan play using IP tunneling and an IPX protocol hack or Icewind dale ii. As well. Same goes for the original Warcraft II games. It's fun if you've never played them before. If I had a child I wanted to teach about gaming technology I would involve them by doing that with them. Or teaching them how to mod engines like infinity engine.
I could see a future museum were you can play obscure games like "Outcast". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcast_(video_game) because they were interesting milestones in game development. Outcast being a particularly interesting voxel game engine somewhat ahead of it's time.

An audio video recording device being operated is hardly as technical as leaving a microphone in the ceiling light.

That is cool =) And they are decent photos to boot. P.S. I can read a tiny bit of Spanish and the captions are informative.
Already did. http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/07/23/1819215/people-emit-visible-light lol
Though the Aura in that study is not specifically called an Aura and it different than the other auras.
Though we do emit other frequencies of radiation. None that are proven to be detectable by other humans.
There is no scientific evidence to support humans being able to utilize their eyes in such a way. But there is quite some precedent for mystics and auras. There have been a few studies.

Than they can just reblog official state endorsed photos of everything! Maybe our tax money can go to even paying for the right to view them!
