There are no neutrality laws. And they fear them for good reason. It's a bitter pill to take, but out internet connections can either be controlled by those who covet power, or those who covet profit. Personally, I think profit driven individuals are far more predictable and less likely to throw me in prison for saying the wrong thing.
FTL is not possible. Period. In fact, even traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light is impossible unless we discover some new, amazing lightweight power source. Short of that, I doubt we'll ever get faster than 5% the speed of light... I think what people fail to understand is just how fast that is... 5% the speed of light is incredibly fast.
It's fun to read Sci-Fi books, but FTL is not possible irrelevant of any advances we make in science. If you think it IS in fact possible, then you fundamentally do not understand what the speed of light is, why it is, or how space-time works.
Now the whole, freeze people/hyper-sleep thing, travel for 4000 years and wake them up... THAT'S possible (or at least, not impossible from what we know about science at this point.)
Dude, he failed multiple drug tests on multiple occasions. They allow you to retest if you fail. He always passed the second time around. These tests are made to let you pass. They're nothing but theater. The do not want their top athletes, the ones making them all the money, to get caught. After those athletes retire however... now that's a different story. Now they can wave Armstrongs name in the air and claim "See what we're doing about drugs!"
This entire process is just silly. They do not want to catch offenders. At least not offenders that are currently competing and making them money. Notice they always go after the retired athletes? The fact is that they could test, and prevent steroid use. But they don't. They give warnings before the tests, if you fail you get second chances, they only test for certain things, it's just stupid. If they wanted to catch them, they would randomly show up at their door step, take Blood, hair and urine samples, and that would be it. Because of the lax system in place, I doubt there is a single professional athlete in this country that isn't using steroids. I personally am not opposed to their use... why not have "stock" and "modified" classes in sports? But to pretend that Men lifting weights the size of cars, or running at speeds that rival most wild animals is due to improved training techniques it ridiculous.
For anyone interested in a documentary on the subject I recommend "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" it's a great movie.
Vaccines are not like other drugs. They expire... rather quickly. A large percentage of them are thrown out at the end of the year. Then the research for next years vaccine starts again. It's a never ending cycle and it costs them a fortune. Unlike a drug like Viagra where then can spent a bunch of money researching it, then make pills that have a nearly indefinite shelf life and they do not have to start over every year unless some terrible side effect is found.
This doesn't make sense at all. It's clear that the CPU is far more important than the GPU. CPU speed solves stuttering and lag Hard drive speed solves long load times Memory amount decreases frequency of load times (memory speeds, despite what many thing, have relatively little to do with performance as even the slowest memory is far faster than any other component of the system) GPU speed/memory amount affects quality of graphics settings and frame rate when those settings are turned on (i.e. you can check more boxes on the advanced tab without dropping to 10 fps)
As far as "bang for your buck" goes, the last thing you want to spend money on is the GPU. More memory is the cheapest way to improve performance, followed by CPU speed/cores. The GPU is the very last thing you want to invest in because the prices are so hyper inflated and the technology their pushing is usually not even used in most games. The difference in frame rates between a $200 card and a $600 card is usually less than 20% and that video card will be obsolete in 6 to 12 months. That's just not a good value.
And when given a choice to vote, the only people we're allowed to vote for agree on almost every topic so our recourse is what? Civil War? I'd like to think a Judge of all people would stand up and say "This is fucking ridiculous" and just start throwing cases like this out. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
When I was a kid, we'd take.22 rounds, drill a hole in a board, shove them in and then set them off with a rock. We could shoot dozens of rounds like this with no noticeble damage to the wood..22 rounds load is very small. Firing a single round is nothing. What generates heat is the rate of fire. To fire more, I like the idea I saw above about having rotating barrels. If you basically made a revolver where it actually rotated the barrel as well, so you had a fresh barrel every time you fired, you shouldn't have a problem. You could even fire a.50 caliber from plastic if you made the barrel thick enough. I'm not sure you could fire it twice however.
The real problem will be the firing pin. I think this will have to be some sort of metal, stone or ceramic. I doubt that any kind of plastic that will melt at reasonable enough temperatures to work in a 3D printer would be workable for a firing pin.
If you wonder why everyone's capping service, The FCC is why. The Feds come in and pay you to offer "broadband" in an area. So you install T1's, put in some DSL cards, etc... Then the feds are gone. Never to return. Meanwhile you have about 12 people fed by a single remote that has 3 T1s All 12 of them turn on netflix on Friday night and... now you have problems It's not profitable or cost effective to give those 12 people service that fast for the price the feds want you to charge. The only answer is capping their service.
It's clear in their ad that their selling this IN ADDITION to a regular security system. It's just supposed scare off the thief before they break your window and you've got to pay a deductible. When I was in highschool I worked at a pizza shop. Every night the owner would close out the till, take the money drawer out and sit it on the counter, turn the register around and leave the drawer wide open facing the front window. I asked him why he did it and he said he had 3 break-ins where they had busted the front window and destroyed his cash register just to find out it was empty. Each time he had to pay $1000 deductible. Finally his insurance agent told him what to do with the cash register and he never had another break-in.
I'd agree that's what they are thinking. But I think they are wrong. A good example is Neverwinter nights. I bought that game 5 years after release so I could play some of the mods people had made for it. That's money they wouldn't have had. Look at Team Fortress 2... that wouldn't even really be a game without all the player made maps. It would have faded into obscurity a few months after release. The mod community let Valve spend less time making maps and focus more on game play. It SAVED them money.
Design a Game engine. Create basic game mechanics. Build 10 or 20 maps. Release GOOD mod tools. Let the community design the rest of the game for you.
Some of the greatest games in history have been done this way. Quake, Doom, Unreal, etc... etc...
Stop giving the morbidly obese excuses to continue eating and not exercising!
I used to work with a Morbidly obese man that ate 3 LARGE subs from the local sub place every day. He would also order a full sized bag of potato chips along with it which he wouldn't eat with the subs... he'd finish the subs, then need to go to the bathroom to drop a deuce and would take the chips with him and eat them while he was taking a dump. Not kidding. He would sit in there for 45 minutes crapping, eating his chips and talking to people that came and went from the bathroom as he did. It was insane.
One day I walked by his desk and instead of his usual 3 subs he had a full rotisary chicken and a 2 liter of coke (not diet) sitting on his desk. I stopped in shock and asked "Why do you have a rotisary chicken on your desk?!?" He replied "My doctor has had me on a diet for months and I'm just not loosing weight. I've been sticking to turkey sandwiches, but they weren't working so he told me to try chicken instead. They don't have chicken subs at the sub place so I picked this up at the grocery store." He then proceeded to pick the rotisary chicken clean.
If you're over 200lbs it's either because you don't exorcise or your a body builder. If you're over 250, it's because you don't exorcise and you eat too much (or your an Olympic body builder) STOP EATING
So everyone knows Tesla was a hack right? Crap... I'm going to get flamed... but seriously, the guy was a thief. Every single thing he claimed to have invented had been demonstrated by someone else, somewhere else years earlier. Every single one. The brushless AC motor was invented and demonstrated 6 years before Tesla applied for a patent. But Tesla claimed he "though of it" before that demonstration, he just hadn't built it yet. Now if it happened on a few inventions, that's one thing... but all of them? I won't defend Edison, but Tesla was just as bad, if not worse.
I've been on call since last October. I get $50/week for it. It's kind of lame. I wasn't able to start taking vacation again until about 3 months ago, and even then I was required to always be in cell coverage areas, within 10min of an internet connection and carry a company laptop with me at all times. I once had to remote in from a pontoon boat while tethered to my cellphone.
You misunderstand the situation. I don't want to take the blame off the cellular industry, it IS their fault... but you have to understand how the infrastructure works.
I doubt ATT is having a problem in places like downtown chicago. There are A LOT of customers in that area, and A LOT of data infrastructure running everywhere. Data is cheap, and customers are plentiful.
You get out to rural Montana, and to feed a cell tower it might cost you upwards of a few million dollars to run a single T1 to it. And that tower on average only serves 100 or so customers. Upgrading that tower is not profitable at all. The obvious solution is not having 4G service there. But then your biggest competitor comes along and starts splashing their map of 4G coverage all over the place... and your marketing department goes into a tizzy "WE HAVE TO SELL 4G!!!! WE LOOK LIKE CHUMPS!" then you have the feds coming in, demanding rural broadband... well crap... ok, we have 4G there. It'll only work for 4 customers at a time but it's there...
Again, it's the industry as a wholes fault. But it's not as cut and dry as "They're just too lazy"
Sure you can. I've done it. Trust me, it's very rewarding to talk a car salesman down to a price that's relatively near their cost and know their thinking "Well, I'll just screw him on the financing." and then lay the debit card down on his desk and say "put it on that"
I recommend calling the bank ahead of time and telling them the charge is coming though. I've had the bank sit on the charge and call me (literally while I was still standing at the counter) to verify I was really putting $15k on my debit card. Since then they've gotten used to my purchasing patterns and don't question when I do that sort of thing.
I have no debt, other than a house loan... and that's obviously for tax purposes. When I want something like a car, I save up for it and buy it cash. While I'm saving up for it, I put that money into Stocks or mutual funds and earn money on it rather than paying interest. I've had credit cards for emergencies but every single one of them canceled the card on me due to lack of use. Apparently paying for a tow truck every 2 years doesn't make them enough profit.
Unsecured debt is the bane of modern society. Get out while you still can.
Ok, I'll accept your premise. I'm a libertarian after all and agree that regulation should be used solely to educate the public. (i.e. cigarettes should be legal but you should know what's in them) But there is no scientific evidence that genetically modified foods have any detrimental health effects. Quite the opposite in fact. What the modifications do is drive down the costs of production and increase crop yields. Yes, this increases the profits of the producers as well, but that's how capitalism works. So, when these labels go on foods, and naive members of the public avoid those foods out of misplaced fear is that ok? Perhaps it is. But then take into account the fact that the majority of the people that avoid these foods will be middle class and upper income... they can afford to switch to unmodified foods. That's their right of course. But that will then drive up demand for unmodified foods. Unmodified foods require greater resources to produce. More land, more water, more fertilizers. The price of not just unmodified food will go up, but as more land is used for it, less will be available for modified foods and their prices will rise as well. This means food will cost more for everyone. Including the poor. All of this, because of fear.
There are countries in Africa that have refused American food aid because of these very same fears. Countries ravaged by famine. People have literally starved to death in the present because of fears of cancer 50 years from now that are completely baseless. http://www.un.org/en/africarenewal/vol16no4/164food2.htm It's a travesty that this sort of thing happens. People have DIED because of this nonsense. Do you really want to continue this pseudoscience BS? Why doesn't California instead require further studies? More research? Because those that want this legislation have already made up their minds. The science is irrelevant and they wouldn't believe results that disputed their beliefs anyway.
Except the main premise: Apple is the most valuable company in history. If you decide that stock value is the true valuation of a buisness, even though that would be totally incorrect... and you decided that US Dollars, not adjusted for inflation... Then I suppose you could make this claim.
But what is Apples value to the world compared to, lets say walmart? If apple and all its products vanished off the face of the earth right now... would it really cause a problem? If walmart closed all of its stores for just a month or 2... we'd actually have food shortages in many rural areas almost immediately. People would lose their homes due to the lack of a paycheck. Many smaller local business buy their inventories from walmart. Suppliers in China and India would have to lay off workers. Many people wouldn't be able to get prescriptions. Bug spray, insecticides, etc... could lead to increases in west nile and other disease. Literally 3 of the 4 horsemen... it's kind of funny really.
#1. I work, so that I can earn money, to support my life and family. My enjoyment of life comes from my family, not my work. If work significantly interferes with that life... there's no reason for me to go. #2. 12 to 16hr days are ok... when they are rare. I can get a lot done by spending an entire weekend on a major project. #3. 12 to 16hr days consecutively for any period of time are terrible. The only people that find them preferable are the young who wish to have a few extra days to get plastered per week (I used to be one of them) but as soon as you have REAL goals in life, they become untenable. #4. Look at the VPs in your company... look at the president... do they work for 16hrs strait regularly? No? In business there are leaders, and there are worker bees. One set gets paid more than the other. Be careful what you're setting yourself up to be.
