Ah, I see you're mistake. This budget has absolutely nothing to do with terrorists. As with all government programs its primary goal is in justifying its own existence.
No, you're talking about governments that have over-legislated the people. They've tried to micro-manage the citizenry to the point that they can no longer enforce the laws and have to pick and choose. That should never be the case. If everyone ignores a law, why does it exist? So the police can enforce it selectively? They enforce drug laws on the poor, minorities, and undesirables under the false assumption that throwing the drug dealers (i.e. all the adults) in jail will somehow lift them out of poverty. Meanwhile enforcing those same laws on those who have the means to conceal their use is almost impossible. I'd be willing to bet 90% of the pot grown in this country is grown in suburban basements and amidst corn fields. You can have a $100,000 crop in a 10x10 indoor area in 4 months if you know what you're doing. There's no way they're ever going to stop that... but they sure can bust the 16yr old black kids that pick up a Quarter pond and take it back to the hood so they can pay rent.
I have some understanding of Quantum Physics and I've been told by every Quantum Physicist that I've ever talked to on the subject that the field is beyond all of humankind's comprehension. Granted, that was a total of 1 Quantum Physicist, but she was very smart.
I disagree with that. That statement is more along the lines of "no false idols" I'm sure there are those that see the devil as a God but it's certainly not main stream.
There are those that believe there is God, and the spirit and son were instruments of God. There are those that only believe in God, and the son was just a dude, prophet, whatever There are those that believe The father son and ghost are all the same thing. There are those that believe that The Father Son and Ghost were 3 separate Gods all equal.
I suspect that there are people that believe in just about anything you can think of.
er... not to quote the bible or anything but... you've no idea what you're talking about. The devil was chained in hell for 1000 years. So... he's out now. Secondly, God/Jesus gave mankind power over Satan. Previously the only way to ward him off was through ritual (the weird stuff the jews do) After Jesus you could simply command the devil to leave you be. The "tempting" you're talking about are the lies and deceit the devil uses to get you to invite him in. But all along the power is yours to be rid of him.
If you're going to try and say a religion is full of it, at least know what you're talking about. There are some basic philosophical problems with Christianity you should be attacking first. Nit picking at the bible never got anyone anywhere.
The point is, the Atheists are identical to the theists. 2 groups of people obsessed with the nature of the afterlife to the point that they identify their entire existence by it. Christian, Muslim, Atheist. It's all the same damn thing.
There's 3 points of view on this: Christian: I believe! It's a fact! Atheist: I don't believe! It's a fact! Normal Person: I don't know, don't care and don't think it's possible to prove a damned thing leave me alone... why do the two people above me have weird shit on their heads?
It's not as fast as you think. Some angle-grinders hit 20,000rpm easilly. RC car and plane motors can be rated from 10k up past 100,000 rpm depending on the application and load. I question their claim of "The fastest spinning object ever created" as it would be extremely simple to purchase a $100, 100k rpm motor and hook it up to 10 to 1 gear... viola - a million rpms. I'm not sure how long the bearings would hold out but it'd definitely hold out longer than their spec of baking soda.
From what I understand, the "island of stability" in terms of super-heavy elements is a relative term - it just means the decay of elements in the island of stability is measured in maybe hundreds of milliseconds instead of a few microseconds.
they are expected to have radioactive decay half-lives of at least minutes or days as compared to seconds, with some optimists expecting half-lives of millions of years
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability
The answer is, we don't know for sure. That's why we're trying to get there. If their half life is anything longer than a few minutes they would revolutionize chemistry.
Backward compatible is almost never backward compatible. I go through enough "backward compatible" upgrades that fail almost monthly to know better than to believe that bullshit.
You mean drunken night-time culture. Visit nearly any rural area on earth and you'll find vastly different cultures in nearly every place. Visit any bustling city at 11pm and you'll find the same drunken assholes in all of them.
better yet, fire people who don't get their work done and not worry about the details of "Why"
I don't care if you're running a nail salon and a tattoo parlor from your smartphone while you're at work as long as you're getting quality work done on time for me. The idea that an employer can monitor and badger a bad employee into a good one is one of the oldest, most idiotic myths I've ever heard. Enough already.
That's because they aren't trying all that hard. I once thought security at a place I worked was lax because of several reason I took to the security director. He then explained to me that security in a corporate sense is not about securing anything. It's about shifting responsibility away from your employer. For example, your company has a large customer contact list. Is this really important or secret data? No. You don't want it just laying about but if it did get swiped it's not that terrible. But you're under legal and civil obligation to "Secure" it. So, instead of going through a multi-million dollar project to protect this data you really don't give a crap about you farm it out to the lowest bidder. Some off-site place that will store it for you. If they screw it up and the data gets stolen, they and their insurer pay up. You blame the event on them. Etc... You're legally and financially off the hook.
For things that we really needed secure, there were locked cages, palm prints, 30 digit passwords and key cards. There was no taking that information off site. Period. Data was encrypted at rest, the OS was a custom build. Not only would you have to decrypt it you'd be working in a strange environment devoid of all sorts of basic utilities that would make your life difficult. You can make things secure. It's just a real pain in the ass to do so.
Every single person that I've ever met that has attended burning man has been an insipid, self absorbed, liberal yuppie that thinks living in a straw bail house would be great, though they've never actually been in one. It's to the point where if I'm at a party and someone starts talking about their last trip to burning man I leave. Terrorists, please, there some areas of the country that we'd be ok with you crashing airplanes into. Please check with us next time.
I have history turned off, and when I had a form partially filled out it re-opened it with the data I had put in so.. yea, it appears to store the entire page.
When cargo ships routinely get ganked with in excess of $15,000 worth of ISK or ETC I think it's rather obvious someones doing something other than playing the game with all that. The only logical use for all that ISK/ETC is money laundering. They're buying up ETC cards with illegal funds then selling them for ISK, then selling the ISK for cash on a website and count the proceeds as legitimate income.

No, fuck that. It's our moral responsibility to make sure this shit hits every wall in the room.

You're completely wrong. There are plenty of christian religions that do not believe in the trinity.

apt name eh?

no, they are doing the shutter technique. Every other frame is left - right left - right. You just have to blink each eye 30x per second alternately.

Sounds like the plot of Red-Mars. Environmentalists don't think we should be messing with mars and sabotage efforts to terraform it.
scuse my shitty math. 1000 to 1 gear ration. lol

no, it's about trial lawyers trying to find more wallets to empty.

Yes: Drive your car at 100mph into a palm tree in the middle of the night for no reason... oh wait...

that is what they are supposed to be doing right? Gathering intel? The problem is when they do it against their own citizens.
Fuck that. Let's not spy on anyone's residential phone or internet traffic.
