I've been to a theater with shutter glasses. The effect worked fine but added nothing to the movie (Pixar's Up!). The glasses were heavy compared to the polarized kind and I would have preferred to watch the movie without.
There are two kinds of "magic eyes" images, ones where you focus behind the image and ones where you focus in front. If the stereogram effect is inverted, you need to switch from focusing behind to focusing in front or vice versa.
It is alright if the dedicated 1% (and this is a generous estimate) can work around the censorship. As long as most people don't do it, what good does it do to them? The size of the technically knowledgeable and strongly motivated population is small enough that they can't do much by themselves - moreover, as long as they are preoccupied with overcoming technical hurdles they'll be less efficient at what they actually want to accomplish.
Its a huge difference. Its the same reason that we give higher scores to people who post with their accounts than an AC.
Speak for yourself, I don't value any post more because it was posted with e-ego attached. There's a lot of spam posted as AC for sure, but rating posts based on the name field is bad moderating.
This is a great point of view, that I feel calls for further thought. What does the requirement of being unemployed or a moneyless student do to the credibility of such protests? What then happens to the point about "people feeling so strongly about an issue"? Furthermore, does anybody who has a say in things give a shit about meatspace protests anyways if they're only at some weird emotional level instead of causing actual harm?
I'm sure it was unintentional but even with the strong stigma of scriptkiddiness, grandparent just made me think more highly of LOIC compared to meatspace protesting.
Seeing as canine physiology is adapted to eating shit I don't see how you could consider that an argument concerning intelligence either way. What next, are you going to say it's stupid for birds to fly just because you'd die if you tried jumping off a cliff?
You fail at reading comprehension, it is an example of how little dogs care about wet or cold, not of intelligence. Obviously it isn't killing my dog, and there are humans who take part in the exact same activity FOR FUN too - only they go out of their way to actually break the ice after it has already frozen.
You should try it some time, the endorphin and adrenaline rush caused by temperature shock can feel pretty awesome.
The product of playing "fetch" with a human from a dog's point of view is fun, bonding and exercise. Seems like a fairly productive task to me.
Besides, obviously cats like playing too. Just because dogs are more social about it doesn't tell anything about the species' comparative intelligence.
Considering that we get male dogs trying to do just that to our front door when our bitches are in heat, I can only conclude that you haven't interacted with many enough dogs or tested their abilities.
So your premise is that doing nothing requires more intelligence than performing a task? Makes one wonder what your definition of intelligence is.
Trainability requires intelligence, but it also requires motivation. Just because cats lack one of these doesn't mean they automatically have more of the other. I'm not claiming either side of the cat/dog intelligence debate but your reasoning is stupid.
As far as intelligence is concerned, we have another cat and two dogs. They're each intelligent in their own way. And they're each really stupid in their own way. I typically think of intelligence as the ability to solve problems. This usually requires the capacity to learn new things. My cats don't learn new things very quickly, but my dogs acclimate in a matter of hours. Though, my girl dog would rather sit in the cold rain at the back door on the off chance someone might let her in than go get in her doghouse.
That's because dogs generally mind the lack of company far more than they do bad weather (mine still wants to go swimming even though the sea is starting to freeze). That behavior is consistent with the goals of a typical dog so I don't see how you could call it stupid.
IE has 100% of the Internet Explorer marketshare. Windows 7 has 100% market share of Windows operating systems released since October 2009. Windows XP has 100% marketshare of Windows operating systems bundled with netbooks that can't run Win 7.
I've lived in Europe all my life and never seen a riot. In fact, I don't remember hearing about riots in my country on the news either! I don't assume that's because the news were repressed, because my country ranks high on freedom-of-press lists.
I do suppose "big government" doesn't apply because the population is smaller than that of internationally recognized "big cities".
You're missing the point of propaganda - it is to affect the thoughts of the masses, not every last person on the planet. Wikileaks is only a problem for "democracy" if their leaks can get through to the masses, which they won't because the masses get their info from mainstream media.
You are off by two orders of magnitude in your time estimate - and that's assuming no WiFi/phone data crapouts or whatever leaving pages unloaded anyways.
Opening tabs in the background is a way to avoid having to watch pages load - particularly if you're browsing for images that are multiple megabytes in size, or sites that are too popular for their bandwidth, or sites Japan, or just when your connection is busy with torrents.
Compared to the time used viewing such pages or files the loading time can be very significant. Even youtube videos frequently fail to load in real time.
Most of the sites blocked contained no CP - I looked at some of the links listed and none of them appeared to have any CP whatsoever. Also the blacklist is voluntary for ISPs to implement - last I checked it wasn't very popular among ISPs...

Shawwal being the only non-compound word of the lot. I had never heard of AC's rule of thumb but I'd say it holds true.

Or worse, one could burn the food!
That is why he said "effective" - in this context it means 35mm equivalent.

Based on what you just posted? Impossible to say, none of it concerned intelligence.

According to your logic cats are also more intelligent than humans.
You do realize that nobody else can know shit either, right?

Being consistently right does not make him a troll. I also have a macbook pro and "just works" is a joke if you're going against Steve's vision.
As they bloody well should be - cars are dangerous, pedestrians are not. If you choose to drive one what happens should be YOUR responsibility.

Assuming the links are closely spaced, dozens.
