In all likelyhood you already have Herpes and warts. The infection rates are staggering. Most people never develop symptoms unless their immune systems are weakened. The clap and such are a bit more rare but easily treatable now-a-days. HIV was a whole other animal however, but with this discovery it looks like it might turn into no more a threat than the other STDS are... an embarrassing trip to the doctor.
I refuse any request they make for data. Radioshack, for example, wont stop until you say No. I saw a guy in front of me give them his name, address, phone number, zipcode, I was astonished. Then I get up there and they ask for my name, I say no... they looked confused... then asked for my phone number... I said no... then he started to tell me he couldn't even check me out without a phone number! I told him "I guess I'm not shopping here then" at which point the manager of the store practically jumped the counter and told the checkout clerk to just use the stores number. Common sense prevails for once.
What's really funny about this whole thing is that they looked at me like I were crazy. As if I were doing something strange by not wanting to give complete strangers all of my personal info just to buy a 35 cent bulb for my flashlight. The scary part isn't that they ask for this info, or that people give it. The scary part is that they look at you like you're crazy when you refuse to give it. Society this this level of intrusion into your personal life is not only normal, but expected, and you're out of whack if you don't want to supply it.
And that's why what we're looking for is a water-borne algee that can be converted into fuel. Blanket the oceans with it and watch it soak up the CO2 from the water (where it's doing the most damage) then turn it into fuel. Easy to raise, self reproducing, needs little to no care.
That thing is retarded. Every manufacturing company in the world has a "Lab" where engineers build automation to replace humans wherever possible to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Any tool that is built to do everything, does nothing well. That's what this is. Automation has been in every production plant since the Model T. The simple fact of the matter is humans are cheap. They learn quick and adapt to change fast. Humans are used in areas where you may only have a short run of something, or you need problems noticed and addressed quickly. Robots will never do this. If you're doing an extremely long run of something... lets say you make Styrofoam cups... you'll be making them for years and years and the stile will never change... you'll totally automate that entire line. Now, lets say you're building the newest light-up, sold on TV childs plush toy... well, you're only probobly going to be making those for a few months before the next fad hits so you'll use humans. This robot doesn't fit into either of those situations. This article is just astroturfing.
After Aaron Swartz's Death, the Focus Now Falls On the Prosecutors
The general public has almost knollege of this case. There is no focus what-so-ever, much less on the prosecutors of this case.
Journalists and commentators are now questioning the role of Massachusetts prosecutors Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann in the suicide of Aaron Swartz
Journalists were uninterested in this case until a young man killed himself. Now that they've written their stories and cashed their checks, they'll go back to not caring.
and whether they levied disproportionate charges in order to boost their own political profiles, despite being warned he was a suicide risk.
Of course they did, that's their job. They don't get moved ahead in their career by being fair and measured in their approach.
Meanwhile White House petitions to remove Ortiz and Heymann have already received tens of thousands of signatures.
The Whitehouse has already shown, numerous times that the petition site is a joke. They do not care, unless the petition in question is regarding one of their current policy bullet points. Freedom of the internet, and information in general, is in no way something this, or any administration is interested in.
Should these prosecutors be investigated for their actions regarding Swartz?"
They are lawyers, and Prosecutors, they are horrible horrible people. We all know this. What else should they be investigated for? This sort of thing happens every day, all the time, and it's totally legal. We've put sociopaths in charge of our legal system. This is the result.
I know that the OP wanted to make it appear like the general public suddenly had an interest in justice, the rule of law, fairness, and any number of other noble things. But they don't. They are interested Facebook, impressing their friends and their own insular problems. Comfort has made us weak.
Seriously? You're going to start blaming Nuclear power for depression? REALLY? Sorry, but as if the anti-nuclear groups weren't already ridiculous, I think they've finally gone full retard.
Are you assuming they're to stupid to know the difference between the Martian atmosphere and Earth's atmosphere?
Keep in mind that they did manage to crash a billion dollar probe into the planet because they made a mistake converting standard into metric. Also, one of the original rovers failed after 30 days because of a bug in the software they hadn't caught that would only show up after the clock had been running for 30 days. They'd never run the software for that long before landing. Then there's the entire Space shuttle design...
I'm from LA, too... I can't remember the last Smog Alert we had.... And when I was a kid, most of the summer was First Stage, with a few Second Stage alerts every year.
Outsourcing works both ways I guess. China might get the jobs but they also get stuck with the pollution.
I'm fairly sure it wont be long before they trick us into buying it off them.
Except: If you were traveling at the speed of light, time would stop. So you wouldn't see a damned thing because the universe would end instantaneously for you. Also you'd implode into a singularity and devour all the energy in the universe to achieve light speed, but lets not let physics get in the way.
Yet both are completely fictional and are not physically possible in even the remotest sense... and you're still arguing about the difference between 2 fantasy modes of travel. Next will you give us an in depth dissertation on the differences between Unicorn and Pegasus travel?
I love my job, although the beginning of the year is always a bit stressful. We're always looking for people, just not people with you're attitude.;-) No offense, just trying to point out something that's probably been obvious in a lot of your job interviews. A positive, upbeat person not only outperforms those with a negative outlook, they usually help those around them perform better as well. My one job is to make my boss happy, everything else are just means to that end. Look at it like that, be ok with that, and you'll be amazed how much happier you'll be at work... and how fast you'll get pay raises.
10 seconds? Are you crazy? I can drop my clip and have another in, in less than a second. If I'm not stupid and don't fire the last round I don't even need to rack the gun. Clips are $5 and and as long as I've got plenty on me, I've basically got unlimited ammo. Lastly, in a urban setting like that, the shotgun they had was likely their most dangerous weapon. The assault rifles look cool and everything but that's about it. In close quarters combat, where your goal is to make as many kills as possible, a shotgun with buckshot is the best thing to have. You don't even have to aim. Afraid cops are going to show up with body armor? Keep some slugs on you. Their car wont stop it, the engine block wont stop it, and their body armor definitely wont stop it. As far as the cop is concerned, the best thing that could happen is that it hits him at an angle and it just breaks all of his ribs. Laws wont solve this problem, early intervention in the lives of people with mental health problems will.
I don't know of a lot of Mr. Bean-like millionaires that just stupidly stumbled into wealth
GW Bush comes to mind.
Seriously, you still believe this propoganda? His staff has flat out admitted they intentionally tried to make him look dumb and "Country-boyish" to appeal to his core constiuency. The guy graduated from one of the best schools in the country, lead the entire quite well (allthough you may disagree with the direction) and won 2 terms to office in what's considered to be 2 of the toughest elections in modern history. The boy ain't dumb, he was just fake'n.
The answer is: They already are. You just haven't figured out the new currency yet. Instagram just hiked their prices and people aren't buying anymore.
Except... we're not really in a capitalist society. Capitalism depends on transparency and being unfettered by outside influences, and we do not have that. The government intervenes, controls and is bought by businesses. The true harm that comes with regulation is not the damage it does to business, but the interest in manipulating the government it creates in business. Social media companies will learn this, and their TOS's will not just get worse, they'll become law. We currently have a largely unregulated internet, and therefore businesses that are based on the internet are not really involved in politics yet. But soon, the regulation will start... "Your TOS must include..." and now we have collusive relationship between all the social media sites veiled by government regulation.
Who the fuck cares? The message is still the same: Social media companies be warned. We have absolutely no brand loyalty to you, and if you fuck up even in the simplest way, we will drop you like yesterdays trash. You could be the largest company on earth one month and completely bankrupt the next.

ok... now lets see... 2 years from now will the homicide rate be down? I think we know the answer to that... so what's the point?
Wait 5 years and e-readers will be under $30, then sell them at the front desk.
i only ask because i ride the train with people less well off than me and i see them with iphones and all other kinds of toys
The target audience of libraries...
Lets just thank god they're burning all that coal rather than risking the remote chance of an accident in some super evil Nuclear power plant.
