Well, considering that the anthropogenic climate change hoax is a bigger threat in the long run than terrorism I hope the CIA helps bring all the fraudsters to justice. That would be the proper use for any CIA resources related to anthropogenic climate change.
Well, I do not have one or more actual events, but I am certain it has happened.
Mainly, from security question I was asked when traveling to Israel once: Were you given any packages or items from someone and told to deliver them when you get to Israel? (maybe not verbatim, but close). I answered "No" (which was true), then I asked why such a question would be asked? The security person told me that this has been a method used by terrorists in their plots.
I have been reading using "ABOOK" for many years now.
1. Long battery life, in fact, it is so advanced, that it doesn't even have "batteries", in the traditional sense.
2. Sure, you have to manipulate the "pages" by hand, but only when you need to turn the page.
3. Heck, I can even loan it to people or, if I am feeling very generous, I can just give "ABOOK" away, whether to friends, family members or the local library.
For years, I kept the very first edition of OMNI magazine safe in my room at my father's house.
Trips to work in Yellowstone, five years in the Navy and my travels since, last time I checked, the magazine was no longer in the bedroom any more as of about 10 years ago. Seems dad threw it out with a few other things he considered "clutter". Oh well.:/
I read fifty (50) plus books a year, and have since about 1987.
I keep some, re-read some of my faves three or four times.
When I am "done" with a book, it gets donated to a local library or given to a friend with an interest in such books.
IMHO, DRM in combination with the stupid copyright extension act passed some years ago, to me means that more and more books (whether they are entertainment only, or text books or whatever) that should make it into the public domain may never be seen again in any form, of then than already existing books, which will deteriorate over time.
There should be a law requiring that any book published (real book, publication, etc. whether "real" or electronic), non-DRM protected electronic copies should be forwarded for safeguarding by the Library of Congress and at least 8 (if not more) of the major libraries in the country. That way, once the stupid extended copyright expiration happens, these can then be released to the public domain properly. In other words, make it possible for the books to made public domain, as opposed to being obliterated entirely from human knowledge.
1. Teach the kid HTML first (Teach Yourself HTML in a Weekend book). 2. Then, teach him JavaScript. A number of good basic books on it in stores and libraries, plus a lot of online resources. It gives some programming basics, but removes the overhead of a compiled language. 3. From there, with a little bit of work on how a computer handles memory and executes programs, teach him C.
Note: The above is route I taught myself to program in C (eventually) and then C++ and Java. HTML did not take long at all, and I found it useful later on for other things I wanted to do in or with web pages/sites. A gradient approach, yes even the gradient approach of typing in HTML in a formatted and easy-to-read way, pays off when you then have to write C or other code.
Caution: After I learned HTML and JavaScript, I took a stab at Java, that was too much of a leap at the time, I got good enough in Java to create endless exception errors, yeah! However, I then moved to C and that was an easier transition. Once C was done, I then tackled C++ and eventually got back to Java. I tell you, having C under my belt when I went back to Java helped a lot, despite the differences in the language and how Java operates (virtual machine) compared to close-to-bare-metal C.
Well, there are wrist watches that wind from simple body motion.
If you combined the device this article covers with something that "winds" from simple body motion, the combination of the two might be more practical, either generating energy from motion or from temperature differential.
Of course, carrying around the batteries to keep a good store of the energy on hand might be a pain too.

We are going to put the U.S. Government in the ISP business to foster competition by those greedy and money grubbing private ISPs.
The way it works is, the U.S. Government cuts all broadband traffic down to 80 Kbps and then expand the U.S Government broadband bandwidth to 160 Kbps or more.
ISPs can only offer 160 Kbps or more bandwidth, if their broadband plans meet certain government criteria. However, unlike the current health care reform bill(s) floating around, the ISPs are authorized to A) disconnect anyone even suspected of illegal file sharing or any other reason, as they see fit, B) cut of any and all access to such hate sites as "www.usconstitution.net" and any other sites the current Administration deems "objectionable" and finally, C) dramatically raise prices to help cover the onerous regulation and reporting requirements that result form the National Broadband Plan. The procedures for determining who gets put onto the "No Net List" are classified and by statute are not subject to FOIA laws.
Oh, and your excise and any other taxes related to accessing the Internat are all being increased 100 percent, across the boards, to help pay for the program. Yeah, we know, sucks to be you, huh?
Remember, this is helping our children, you money grubbing capitalist pigs!
One day, I ordered a medium pizza (14 inch) with my standard way: Italian sausage, green pepper, onion, black olive, double shrooms and tomato, with the crust well done. I had them cut that into six pieces instead of their usual eight pieces. I ate the whole thing in 12 minutes and 34 seconds.
The next day, I ordered the same pizza (from my same fave pizza place down the street), everything was the same, but I had them cut it into their standard eight slices. I ate this in 13 minutes and 17 seconds.
So, although it took me less time to eat the six piece version of the same pizza, I also felt fuller.
Conclusion: With fewer slices, I ate them faster and, as a result, felt fuller.
From now on, if I am really hungry, I am getting the six slice version.
|| I would argue we as humans in a civilized society are obligated to provide basic necessities to our fellow man. Of course the libertarians will gnash their teeth at the thought of being asked to be part of a civil society at all. ||
You could argue that all you want, and you would still be wrong.
I am a Libertarian, I take responsibility for myself and family. And, to the degree that I can, my friends as well.
I live in a civil society, so how would "asking" me to do so make me gnash my teeth?
Are there things about the current state of government that I would like to see changed? You betcha!
Do I contribute to causes and activities that I see would be beneficial to others? Yes.
Do I actively oppose and refuse to support activities that either detract from or would do away with individual human rights? Yeah.
Do you have a very narrow and wrong view of Libertarians as a whole? Most definitely.

Not sure, but the first issue I had of OMNI, was the first issue named "OMNI". /shurg

No he isn't.
He is just an asshole that happened to be elected as a Representative.
He could be Democrat, Republican, Bozo-ian or whatever political party, and he would still be an asshole.

Nothing to see here, move along, move along.
O.K., I will take your advice.
I'll get back to you in about 18 months.
Well, or I will have the attorney handling my estate post a message as to the results, after my demise.

You really do not know much about Libertarians or Libertarianism then, based on your statements.
