During the joint press conference with Merkel, Obama noted that Dresden had overcome "great tragedies and is now this beautiful city full of hope."
I expect he'll deliver something similar in Hiroshima, an acknowledgement of their suffering, with absolutely no mention of the cause and sugarcoated with some positive comment about the present or future. Why would he change a winning recipe?
Re-soldering a new plug saved my expensive headphones multiple times, simply by cutting the last inch of cord and soldering a new plug onto it.
I would reuse the original plug if possible but they don't make them like that, so i gotta toss it but for 1€ I buy one I can solder and re-solder again later if a subsequent cord cutting patch-job is necessary. When the cord goes to short, any new cord will still only be a fraction of the original price.
If Intel wants to make me adopt this scheme where I can no longer patch up my gear because the connectors has become too small and overcrowded with unnecessary wires and will even cost more to achieve the same level of audio quality as a passive system, because their stupid plug forces every headphone to have it's own DAC ánd pay Intel licencing fees and forces me to re-buy them after 2-3 years instead of patching them up when the wire goes bad, that extra feature better be a sonic screwdriver or a personal time-vortex manipulator.
Oh yes, and they thought these figures are bullshit but they look good enough to cover up the fact we're betting on the EU paying it back another layer of debt used to repay earlier debts...
“I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.”

There's no evidence to prove that it's causing environmental damage?
There's no evidence that it isn't causing environmental damage either...
If i were to build an airplane and never have it tested for safety, I can claim 'there's no evidence it's unsafe', but you'd never fly it if you knew it wasn't 'proven safe'.
Well the earth is a plane with 6 billion passengers, we only got one of them, you can't get off it and they're doing stuff to it which hasn't been proven safe with the pathetic excuse that it hasn't been proven unsafe.
The resource excuse doesn't fly either, the resources they spend now could cost less than what it'll take to fix in ten years from now when it's gotten much worse and they'll finally won't be able to ignore the proof any longer.
There's nothing bizarre or bewildering, It's just greed at work, they wanna make sure games have a 'best played before date'.
They pull the plug on the server after couple years and launch the 'new' version of the game force people to buy their new crap which is the old stuff which has been slightly redone with more boobs explosions and walky talkies as guns..
Here we are with a perfectly self-regulating ecosystem in the prime location with conditions tailor made for us (or rather us for them), and we can't understand it well enough or control our own impulses well enough to keep from fucking it up.... but somehow we'll be smart enough to go somewhere else less opportune and build one from scratch?
"Get us off this rock" attitudes are the product of denial, passing the buck to the our future victims, the ultimate expression of our throw-away consumer culture. We'll use up this planet, toss it and get a new one.
Exactly my thoughts, if we fail to manage one planet in a sustainable fashion, we shouldn't consider colonizing a new one. Period.
That new planet is bound to be a worse place to live than earth, and if we can't make it work in perfect conditions, it's guarantueed to fail if we try it in sub-optimal conditions. But this time the fail will cost humongous amounts of earth resources, "lets waste 2 planets in one move",... still seems like a good idea?
the obstacle avoidance rate would increase if you hire people with surprising bodies or opinions to leap out from behind the obstacle and exhibit and/or explain them at the crucial moment.
You are right when you say that astrology is no more related to spirituality or religion as it is to science, but claiming astrology as 100% wrong is focussing exclusively on the 'predicting-the-future' aspect of astrology. We know it fails at that aspect. Astrology doesn't fail at everything, it succeeds in wrapping up generic good advice into a way that's acceptable by the one who's hearing the advice.
... US agencies are uncomfortable with amateur satellite spotters. Do they really think other countries & organisations don't have the binoculars or math to do their own spotting? ^^
Well it's more like, your boss will know exactly how stressed you are and might decide he can crank it up a notch and give you extra work & stress. And he won't need to look at your screen, he will have a dashboard with stress metrics for all his employees on his own desktop. The adaptive UI story is just a smokescreen deployed at employee level to hide the real intent of this device.
It's the saddening and bleak reality of our current corporate ruled world: someone's word doesn't mean squat anymore unless it's backed up by a legally valid contract.
The result: 4 years of work down the drain from a whole bunch of fans because GW doesn't trust the makers to stick to the original intent of not making profit from it.

You can lead the horse to gold plated diamond encrusted drinking fountain, but if it ain't thirsty it wont drink.
