I don't see what's the point really... the optics are the bulkiest parts. Instead of focusing an image on a tiny CCD it would have to cover the entire display. A normal camera plus LCD display or HUD projection on the windscreen make a lot more sense.
Ultimately judgement is the lords, they can forgive sin... but they can't judge whether repentance is genuine even by their own standards (well maybe the pope, but not the rest of the clergy). Putting people they know were a risk to children back into a position of authority among children goes beyond forgiveness and into the region of culpable negligence. I don't expect the church to sell out their clergy to the law based on what is said in confession... I do expect them to put more effort into making sure it does not happen again.
I'm afraid that the sad reality is that they are afraid to demote simply because they already lack enough clergy to start with, a reason which is hard to morally justify.
You're not pointing anything out. To argue that belief in "no such thing as right or wrong, merely commonly help opinions" should lead to the belief that everything is "OK everywhere" is just pure sophistry. OK is just a synonym for right after all. Ultimately a moral relativist does not have a reason to believe his opinion is more important than yours and deserves to be forced on others... but that does not preclude him from believing so any way.
I'm romantic, not a pure rationalist... my opinion is more important, just because.
I personally think that is the problem with some of the smarter religious people. They can't accept that anything based purely on feeling, so they rather hide all the little non-rationalities of life under a unifying big one to make it easier to handle. Their need for rationality is what drives them to religion.
"The openness of the MPEG process does not exempt you from your duty of calling things with the proper names. ISO/IEC 14496-10 | ITU Recommendation H.264 is called Advanced Video Coding or AVC."
Something regularly copy pasted on MPEG mailing lists a couple year back... they are just a bit but hurt over people ignoring their hard work on it (coming in a couple of months before finalization and rubber stamping it, basically... oh and providing the container format of course, which originally came from Apple).
Has there been a Fatwa condemning the use of violence for blasphemy from any of those Imams? There was the one lonely Imam from Pakistan, but that's about it as far as high profile religious decisions.
Not condoning it can just as well mean that he personally think they should not do it... but that is not the same as considering it Haraam.
Trying to do home automation on an iphone based architecture will save you neither... even if they released it in a headless mac mini format it would still come with all the existing limitations, to expose the I/O at all you'd have to jailbreak it, trading an ultra cheap plug computer running Linux for a jail broken Apple monstrosity for embedded programming is insane. The clients wouldn't even be touching (or wanting to touch it).
Allowing an iPod touch or iPad as an interface to the home automation system, great... some clients will love it. Trying to develop the home automation system itself on Apple hardware, completely and utterly insane.
If the wages had not fallen due to inflation they would have simply been reduced out right. Supply and demand work regardless of inflation. In the long term inflation is a zero sum game unless you are in debt (inflation is good) or have a lot of money in the bank (inflation is bad).
What has changed is automation... labour is just not as valuable as it used to be.
You do know that the Zynga model is pushing scams on your customers right? It's abusing the naive and defenceless in society. Nothing wrong with micropayments, but Zynga is unadulterated evil... is your sig just for show and are you a sociopath?
If you can block on sockets and do processing on received data you can do IRC/SSH in the background as well... but if you leave that running you are going to be eating into battery life. Perhaps Skype just gets preferential treatment?
EA PC reveneue isn't on the same level as XBox 360, but it's pretty equal to PS3... frankly Joe Kreiner is an idiot. No "giant publisher" can ignore that kind of potential in this day and age of multiplatform games.
How is it justified that I should pay for a road if I take my car out once a month? It's not, and putting a black box in there to register how much money is due isn't really a very attractive way of making it just.
IMO the only taxes which make sense are land taxes, mining taxes, pollution taxes and import taxes.
Lawyers are always trying to hollow out the non-obviousness test, TSM basically removes the expert opinion from obviousness. US supreme court bitch slapped the lower courts for going along with lawyers... but they are already trying to find loopholes in the supreme court decision.
The EV of the action is still harm until all the evidence of the action is wiped out, which in practice will be never... statements like "never sharing them" (and "never abusing knowledge from them" and "never exposing the fact they were taken to the victim") are unrealistic.
To take something equally unrealistic to make my point... If we could observe aliens with similar lifespans as our own through a telescope from 100s of lightyears away, then voyeurism would not be substantially immoral IMO.
How is that an OODBMS? AFAICS, it's embedded so I don't think the MS applies and to get object storage you'd have to layer that on top yourself (as well as code your own garbage collector).
That's always the problem I have had with SQL as a (below) average programmer... passing a query string over a socket for retrieving data which can be serviced from memory with a native function call 99.99% of the time. Then throw in an opaque automatically optimized indexes with untold number of tuning parameters, ugh. I've never quite understood how web developers thought that was a good idea... especially a over decade ago when MySQL was not exactly stable and hardware definitely wasn't fast enough to make the inherent inefficiency irrelevant.
Unless the collapse brings with it the collapse of automation there will be no next growth without some extremely interventionist and protectionist measures. A 20 hour work week and enforced balanced trade for instance.
Without that kind of intervention the median wages can't be kept at the level of the old blue collar economy (or the debt fueled economy which temporarily replaced it as the blue collar one died). If the median wages go off a cliff (which they will without government intervention) then the economy goes off a cliff with it.
The majority of people need jobs to put food on the table, not investment opportunities... the people who invest will re-invest their profits for the most part, with no local investment opportunities it will flow right back over the border. Nothing stays except the job losses.
The only way the trade balance is a non issue if government adopts an extreme redistributionist policy, taking the investment profits and spreading it out across the population.

Despite what the article pretends, it fundamentally can't work that way.
In essence this film is a a CCD with a LED display the back ... like a CCD you still need a lens in front to get an image, and the image is only 2D.
I don't see what's the point really ... the optics are the bulkiest parts. Instead of focusing an image on a tiny CCD it would have to cover the entire display. A normal camera plus LCD display or HUD projection on the windscreen make a lot more sense.
Forgiving is not the same as forgetting.

PS. not OP though.
Fuck Mohammed and his nine year old kid fucking condoning followers.
Saying Mohammed is not going to be judged obscene in any court in the US ... so legal's opinion in this matter is neither here nor there.

So now it's just a question of who is willing to fake the date on a piece of paper to prove priority the most.

I complete agree in preserving the current system ... which in my neighbourhood means software is unpatentable.
Once patents stop being absolute monopolies and lasting 20 years we can start talking about extending it to algorithms,
