The current population of human beings on this planet is unsustainable.
If that were true, then wouldn't the population be decreasing instead of increasing? It's like saying you are in a plane and you slow down to below stall speed and say the lift generated by the wings cannot sustain the weight of the plane yet the plane continues to fly.
It's like a plane that's continuing to climb even though it doesn't have enough gas to get to the next airport. It's climbing, but it'll reach a bad end soon.
You would have to prove it was knowingly falsely submitted, not just erroneously or even mistakenly.
So.. negligence doesn't count? Well that's very convenient, isn't it, if these are all generated by computer scan, then there's no one involved to make it "knowingly" falsely submitted.
You're just engaging in whataboutism. Trump's health is irrelevant to the question of Hillary's health.
The topic is Hillary's health. I think it looks questionable. What do you think about Hillary's health?
I think that it makes Hillary more qualified to be President.
These are the worst two Presidential candidates I've seen in my lifetime, and the country is in horrible hands with either of them. If there's a good chance that Clinton will die in office, well then, she has my vote. Tim Kane seems the best of the four (with Pence).
As far as Bluetooth keyboard lag, perhaps you need a better keyboard setup... one that does not sleep as often.
The battery life of wireless keyboards is bad enough. I suppose I've never understood the "I don't ever want to have wires or cables or anything. Wireless is better!" It's like they think if you just cut the cord everything will work exactly the same. But it doesn't. That's not true.
Battery issues, charging issues, increased weight because you need a battery. Syncing issues. Having to have a keyboard "sleep" in the first place. Slow wake-up times.
The best way to solve this problem is to create patches of meadows and forest to act as habitat for pollinators as well as predators like bats and birds who could eliminate the need for a lot of pesticide spraying and save farmers huge amounts of money. Of course that would put some major dents into the bottom lines of large swaths of the chemical industry and we can't have that now can we?
The problem is that the bats and the birds don't really eat the mosquitoes out in the wild. They did eat mosquitoes in lab experiments when they were put in an enclosure filled with mosquitoes and nothing else. Out in the wild, they go for larger, easier to find/see insects.
Oh god, SARS, that was a scary disease. It wasn't that easily transmittable, but if you got infected, you had only a 98% chance of survival. Jesus Christ, that was a frightening time.
... because 4 kids who don't know the alphabet can't teach each other the alphabet.
One of my college engineering courses kindof echoes that thought. The course itself was just fine, but the majority of it was lab, and I was a slow learner, and I don't think my lab partner really understood anything from the course. I ended up doing almost all of the programming work. It came to be the night/morning before the enormous project that would decide our grade was due, and I couldn't do it anymore. I had totally burned out and hit some sort of rock bottom, and I sortof gave up. He was quite good at motivating me, cracking the whip, whatever it took. Every moment I stopped and gave up he was there to get me working again somehow. I don't think we got a great grade, but it got done.
Of all of our engineering classes, I think that was probably the one that prepared us both the most for how things would actually work in "the real world."
Mobile doesn't really have a hover event either, at least not until phones can detect the presence of your finger pointing at something before you touch the screen. There's not really a way to enable that for mobile at all (status bar or no)
I've seen this implemented on my browser on my android phone using the standard built-in browser, whatever came with Android 4.4. If I click and hold somewhere on a webpage, it'll pop up a context menu AND it acts like a hover. I hit 'back' to get rid of the context menu, and the end result is I got a hover without a click. It's clunky and slow, but it works.
It is? I thought conservatives believed in local control. All power reserved to the states and cities. I don't see anything in the US Constitution or State Constitution that makes it illegal. It may be a bad idea, but these sorts of zoning restrictions are hardly illegal.. or at least, not unconstitutional.
Ahhh, Caltrain. Where the SF station is a 20-30 minute walk from the nearest BART station, or a MUNI bus ride... at which point you're taking three different transit systems and just getting to your destination takes forever.
Reminds me of the time when a girl at a Fremont Enterprise office suggested that I take the BART to Milpitas
Maybe she was confusing Milpitas with Millbrae? Which was what I just did too, thinking "I thought there WAS a BART station in Milpitas" when I saw your comment.
There is a Milpitas station under construction; it'll be open a year from now (or you know, probably two years from now, given schedule slippage).
Is it some arbitrary dollar amount, or is it the condition of income insufficiency for basic needs, like shelter?
Depends on who you ask.:-P The federal government likes to set specific arbitrary dollar amounts, regardless of how expensive cost of living happens to be. $50k/yr might give you a very comfortable lifestyle out in Nevada, but in the Bay Area, it won't cover a one-bedroom apartment.
About as long as value is provided. Steal my data and I'll click on the ads... It's a simple arrangement that clearly favors one party. No thanks, fun at first and then obviously a one way beneficial relationship.
If you're using Facebook, then obviously you're getting SOME value from it. No, it's not a one-way relationship.
Or, since y'all seem to hear better when it's phrased in famous movie quotes: "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should."
But we're going about it in exactly the opposite manner. Right now the discussion is all about whether we should. The idea has gotten traction; now that there's interest in it being a good idea, the question is turning to "well how would we do this then?"
Open source is not free. Free means free, gratis means free of charge. Use clearly defined words to avoid being wrong.
But those are definitions that are only used in the FSF and OSS worlds. 99 out of 100 people, if they hear the term "free software" think it means freeware, not that it comes with source code. That's what free means.
Even in the FSF world, few people use 'gratis' either. They'll use 'free as in beer' vs 'free as in speech.'
It would make no difference to me if Assange rolled out of Putin's bed each morning. The information leaked has proven to be true time and time again which is the only credibility that messenger needs.
Nothing leaked about those other nations, including Russia, would make the information leaked about Western governments and US suddenly be less bad.
This is a very convenient argument -- if two sides have horrible secrets to be exposed, but only one side's comes to light, then the other side benefits greatly from that. Sure, the exposed secrets were real, and they're bad. But if the exposer is picking sides, then he's a tool of the other side.
That's a pretty bad article that strains credibility. It's an article about and an interview with the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia, who thinks there's no danger, and because there's no danger, a power grab is the only plausible explanation. She says:
“It seems like now it’s just the D.C. media and the bureaucrats, because of the DNC getting hacked — they now think our whole system is on the verge of disaster because some Russian’s going to tap into the voting system,” Kemp, a Republican, told POLITICO in an interview. “And that’s just not — I mean, anything is possible, but it is not probable at all, the way our systems are set up.”
Oh it's not? Really? We've been warning for years about shitty voting systems that even a monkey can hack. We still hear about Internet Voting being pushed despite it being the worst idea ever. China has owned nearly every multinational corporation out there, and we have reason to suspect Russian involvement in the DNC hack. But oh, no one outside the country would dare mess with our Presidential elections! Of course not!
I thought Republicans were the ones who were extremely interested in the idea of securing elections. Boy oh boy, it seems like we just have to totally change our story when Clinton or Obama are involved. Or maybe they only in favor of election security when that security has the side-effect of putting hurdles in the way of poor people voting?
The sheer transparency of the attempt to discredit Wikileaks for its role in exposing the inner workings of the US ruling class is hilarious.
Wikileaks has done plenty on its own to discredit themselves. We're still waiting for those leaks from the Russian government that Assange promised... before he was arrested and started getting public support from Putin. Now... huh, how strange, all he has are leaks from Western governments.
President Obama had the perfect opportunity to unite the USA and go against the Big Bad East. He squandered this opportunity. Instead he has focused exclusively upon internal divisions.
Not that he's done a great job, but it's pretty difficult to do that "uniting" thing when, before you enter office, the opposition's representatives promise there will be no cooperating, only an attempt to get him out of the office as soon as possible.
I don't think either Dems or Repubs believe in honoring the office of the President anymore. Whomever is in there is just going to be declared a sworn enemy of them and the country.
You do know almost all of that global activity on the part of the soviets was because of our pissing match with them, right?
The initial Soviet build-up happened due to their invasion in World War II by the Germans. An incredible amount of Russians died in the conflict, and to prevent a land invasion from Europe ever happening again, Soviets asserted control of bordering countries to use them as a buffer zone.
Why would you laugh? Things will be horrible shit for just about everyone if Trump is elected. Think it's going to be like watching a reality show for the rest of the world?

Wait... lens flare??
Damn you, Micheal Bay!
J.J. Abrams was seen running from the scene.

I advise 100% of people to avoid Florida, and if they must go there, to stay in air-conditioning. Pregnant or not.
So... "I don't want to spray areas of Florida, I just want to depopulate Florida completely."

What exactly *is* "low income?"
Is it some arbitrary dollar amount, or is it the condition of income insufficiency for basic needs, like shelter?

1) The Department of Homeland Security wants to secure our elections for us, aka power grab.

get a paperback book wet and it can be ruined.
Boohoo, you'll be out $5-$10.
Get an e-reader wet and you're out a lot more.
