I find it funny how people who defend capitalism in this day and age like to say that what we have is "crony capitalism" and if we'd just give real capitalism a try for once it would be super awesome.
No, a camrip is pointing a camera at the screen. A screener means a pre-release DVD/BR version of the movie distributed to movie festivals, celebrity reviewers, etc, usually these have identifying information overlaid at some position on the screen (which the ripper can blur out).
So you didn't even read TFS. If you did you'd see how ocean surface temperatures can affect temperatures lower down.
But you're beyond not trying to answer your own questions. You've become a tinfoil-hatted conspiracy theorist, while a real, factually provable conspiracy operates to maintain your belief.
Anyone who said the drop in surface temperatures wasn't happening was an idiot. Someone should have told you that suggesting that this fact meant global warming had halted or reversed was highly misleading and ignorant. In fact I'll dig through my emails to see if I ever pointed this out to you myself, I know I have to many others.
The "hiatus" is real, but can be presented as a hoax.
Presented as an unexplained break in global warming, it's a hoax. It's been known for a long time that the oceans were absorbing the heat. To suggest that global warming has mysteriously been on "hiatus" due to a drop in surface temperatures alone is highly misleading.
An analogy I've used before is someone predicting that a roof leak will cause a bucket to fill at a certain rate. But then it turns out that there is a small hole in the side of the bucket and when the water reaches it, it starts leaking out onto the floor. The "hiatus" hoax is to say "See, your predictions about the roof leak were wrong, alarmist! Look at how the bucket hasn't filled to the level you've predicted!"
Yesterday I read an article that mentioned the number of Austrian Muslims that have gone to fight for ISIS, and the number of Muslims living in Austria.
I punched those numbers into my calculator and it said that 0.0002% of Austrian Muslims are ISIS-level nutbags. Are you going to label an entire religion over the actions of a nutbag fringe?
I think I'll watch the first 4:23 then. I don't want to see a guy beheaded and I have no interest in fundamentalist Muslim nutjobbery, but now that governments are saying not to watch this, I think I'll have to see what it's about.
If every person tried to ignore this, the media would still harp on it to get us all to pay attention to make them ad dollars, it doesn't make much difference how many individual people watch the video.
You have to wonder if competing search engines could be spurring these claims somehow, culling such vast numbers of pages from Google's index is a great way to degrade the usefulness of Google's search...
Good point. It could be possible to tamper with the embassy's water supply in such a way that the effects would only be felt by someone who *lives* there...
With fast networks it's even possible that the insurance companies could bid on outcomes as the accident was happening. Theoretically my insurer could throw my car into a ditch to avoid damage to a bmw coming the other way.
I might get to see the first car get diverted into a schoolbus to avoid a 50-million-dollar superduperhypercar. I'll have to dress for the occasion with my best fingerless gloves and head-worn goggles.
I think these kids will avoid FPS games like the plague after this, but not because of any moral lesson, because there is almost none to be learned about FPSes here - since as you point out, FPSes are just games.
The real lesson will be "last time I asked dad for an FPS, he took us on an awful and depressing vacation of epic proportions, so I'm not going to touch them with a 30 foot pole now."
To start paying mincome in amounts well over minimum wage, a government will have to start competing with private companies, producing cheap goods with robotic labor essentially for free and selling them at market-competitive prices until all private competition is put out of business. Then they could be sold at-cost - in other words, those items can be part of your mincome. Tax revenue becomes less important as the government transitions to paying mincome in goods rather than dollars - eventually the goal is for most mincome to be paid in goods such that tax revenue from businesses can cover any dollars needed.

What does that sound like?

Deep Learning is the next marketing buzzword, perhaps with good reason this time.

Did someone who isn't a strawman actually tell you that?
Here's an explanation I've posted further up in the thread:

Is bothering to upload a camrip. Just wait for a DVD release or at least a leaked screener copy!

I bet it was intentional, you know the Zuck loves to mock people right in front of their faces.
To the employer that is a huge form of merit that can easily outweigh others!
Haha I see you also work in a business where you have this kind of discussion often!

Your bigotry has been unfounded the entire time.

It would be stupid to just out and hand the democrats a loaded guy and say "Shoot me in the face!"
LOL top typo XD
Came here to say this!
And it sucks everywhere except NYC/SF/Austin/Boston
I probably should have gone into some kind of engineering.
Even if you had the option to pay this, there would still be ads, because greed cannot be satisfied. See: cable TV.

First you'd need to root the car and run "echo 1 > /dev/morality/evil"
Some of the best humor in the world is a result of idiots on Facebook not recognizing satire!
I wish I could find one particular Facebook screenshot of a bunch of right-wingers who took the "abortionplex" article seriously. Just pure gold.
