Gigacrete looks like a better material for building in my opinion. I'll just have bacteria in my yogurt for now.
-Several GigaCrete products can be made with recycled waste material such as bottom ash, fly ash, sludge, or dredged materials. And, these waste material fillers can comprise up to 80% (by volume) of GigaCrete products. Usage of such waste materials reduces the amount of these byproducts going to landfills or other waste storage sites.
- Less carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are produced from the manufacture of the GigaCrete cement binder than compared to the manufacture of Portland cement.
- Energy savings can be achieved with the GigaCrete PanelSystem due to the high thermal efficiency and insulating value of the panel material. According to the “Structural Insulated Panel Association in Partnership with Oakridge National Labs,” structural paneled homes can achieve energy savings of up to 70%.
- The GigaCrete cement binder is 100% nontoxic.
- GigaCrete products use approximately two-thirds less water than conventional Portland-based cement products.
- High resistance to mold, mildew, insects, and vermin facilitates cleaner living environments.
All those eco-friendly bullet points, and no mention of the four things that matter: Strength, weight, longevity, and cost.
Not so. The text that you put in boldface does not indicate that the Constitution itself is changed, just that it is overridden. There is a subtle difference. For example, if a treaty expires, or is overturned by the courts, or deratified by Congress, any laws that it put into place that override the Constitution are null, and the Constitution takes over.
No, the text does not even state that the Constitution is overridden.
It states that both the Constitution and the treaties are the supreme law of the land. When the two are in contention, the Constitution is unclear on which one (Constitution or treaty) has priority. But seeing as how the Constitution came first, all potential treaties, which have to be approved by Congress, would be struck down before coming into effect.
The fact that we let shit get through and result in an ambiguous state (not knowing which prevails) is not a bug in the design, but in the implementation (shitty politicians).
The Constitution, which precedes all treaties the nation could possibly enter into, blocks any and all unconstitutional treaties from being signed. The supremacy clause's reference to treaties merely grants Congress designate rights to foreign countries. If we entered a treaty to allow ourselves to be ruled by a foreign nation, the only powers that nation could be granted would be those that are granted to Congress in the Constitution.
This isn't fucking Magic the Gathering - you can't release a game-breaking new card that breaks all the rules and then point to the "When in doubt, the text on the card is correct." rule. The Constitution elevates the text of a treaty to the same level as the Constitution itself - this is like treating the text on the card as a game rule. The Constitution also requires that all treaties be approved by a Congress with limited and specific powers. Wizards of the Coast can print and release whatever fucking cards they want, but Congress cannot legally approve any treaties they want.
The Constitution is neither altered nor overridden by any treaty the Congress passes. All treaties passed by Congress must be in agreement with the Constitution. Any treaty passed that violates the Constitution should not have been passed, and the game state must be rolled back to correct the error.
No, office drone, you do not need administrator rights. No, pointy-haired-boss, I'm not installing an unsigned driver for the shitty business-card scanner you got as a gift. No, family, I will not hunt down a hacked driver for your 15 year old printer so you can use it on Windows 7 64-bit.
So you are pretty much alienated from your family and unemployed for being a dick now?
The problem is, 99% of our society cannot properly decide whether software should be trusted or not, and even with more granular controls and proper feedback from the OS a lot of malware will slip through.
The problem is 99% of society. The solution is to not trust them with any power or responsibility when it comes to our computer systems.

Wouldn't learning to cope with it be the better alternative, as opposed to using the brain's magical hardware to numb it away?
All things being equal, I am glad I learned how to cope with shock. Goatse? 2G1C? 1Guy1Jar? BME? I feel like I am better off handing them as opposed to trying to dull my memories of them with (admittedly interesting) brain tricks.
BME Pain Olympics is fake. (At least, the parts most people have seen and fuss over - name the dick severing, ball smashing, etc.)
No, it is not. But productivity requires brain activity. Tetris and other games actively reduce brain activity to zombie-like levels. Thus "improving" PTSD much like a lobotomy would.
This is WHY the Soviets tasked Pajitnov with creating Tetris in the first place. They saw addicting games as a means to destroy American productivity.
Considering the zombification WoW, Farmville, etc. currently inflict upon our nation, I'd say they were right. Indeed, Tetris on the Gameboy had the same effect. And still does. Over 100,000,000 copies of Tetris have been sold. For cell phones alone.
This would be based on the timeless principle that "you can't hug your children with nuclear arms"?
Should we abolish the entire military unilaterally because it makes you feel all yucky? And will you defends us when it's gone?
Lisa Simpson is the worst thing about The Simpsons, and the worst thing about America.

Export the technology to Japan and you get muscle suits to help nurses and factory floorworkers. The military is not the driving force for technology in every country.
Makes sense since, you know, Japan doesn't exactly have a military. I think it had to do something with WWII. Not sure, since I'm on Slashdot and therefore know an insultingly small amount about history.
This is not exactly new, they've been working on this for a while now. The only thing stopping them from putting armor plating on it and turning it into power armor is the battery life of the suit. Even with the most expensive batteries we can manufacture, there's a maximum opperational time of about 30 minutes on the XOS-2 when disconnected from an external power source.
Needing to be plugged in to operate sort of limits their military applications to grunt work and MAYBE defensive deployments. Still if someone can work out the power issues, functional and deployable power armor is really only a manufacturing run away.
That part where I have to sit inside a sealed tube with you and whoever else comes on board with no easy way to escape the dangers you or whoever else bring about.. Your right to carry on dangerous weapons that I can't reasonably escape from is terminated if you want to ride along. Your right to be loud and obnoxious, again to which I cannot reasonably escape from is terminated too. This is in line just as your right to stick your nose into my business ends about where my fists are swinging and my right to swing my fists ends at the point they make contact with you.
Ah, the old "Your right to swing your fist stops at my face!!!" argument. This is a classic liberal bullshit defense.
My RIGHT to carry weapons NEVER stops. It is my RIGHT. The same goes for my right to say whatever the fuck I want. These rights are INALIENABLE, and it is the government's DUTY to ensure that NO PARTY attempts to trespass on my rights.
I could fucking run nuclearlaunchcodes.com and post our nuclear launch codes and I'd be well within my RIGHTS to do so.
People should be punished for the consequences of their actions, NOT for their desire to exercise their rights.
I'd rather fly on a plane where people had guns and explosives and ferrets than fly on a plane where I'm treated like a criminal, forced to strip down, scanned/groped, told I can't bring food or water with me, etc.
If you live in fear, then that's YOUR fucking problem. Move to a place where people don't have rights. Given the current trends, the US will probably be on that list for most considerations.
It's people like you who actually LIKE being treated like a fucking slave, because it (falsely) makes you feel safe. So here's a personal FUCK YOU.
Does anyone below the age of 18 go through these scanners?
They should charge them with manufacturing child pornography.
Good for a laugh, sure, but we all know that if they were actually charged along those lines, MSNBC would have Chris Hansen conducting entrapment operations at every pediatrician's office across the country.
Then again not likely anyone "needs" a >2TB boot drive. Still most computers sold only have a single drive and eventually dell, hp, and the like will want to sell 2.1TB drives. Booting from >2TB drive requires UEFI.
Don't worry. A drive advertised as "2.1 TB" is actually only 1.91 TB once you correct for the lies.
If you're going to report one uptime as being "6:02", don't just report the other as being "4 hours". Tell us if it was 4:01 or 4:00 or whatever.
When your difference is on the order of 120 minutes, 1 or 2 minutes difference either way is indeed notable.
And if this test was done over wireless, I wonder how much the browser cache played a role. No need to refetch content, right? Did he even make sure all pages served him the same ads?
You can usually pay more to have guarantees. Militaries and industries sometimes do that. Are you ready to pay more money (like 2x or 3x) for software ? Arguably Apple does (used to do) a good job in this area.
Arguably? I think you mean "ignore and discredit all legitimate concerns"-ably.
Apple is like the Iraqi information minister and the KGB rolled into one when it comes to:
Silencing complaints on their own forums Holding press conferences to lie about design defects Advertising about their superior security while silently patching dozens of exploits months after they're made public Releasing products that simply don't work (Time Machine, anyone?), only to patch them to almost working months later Charging for updates and blaming SarbOx and accounting rules (The truth is they don't want to disclose to investors how much development and support costs are for particular products each year, because that will hint at when they're end-of-lifing products and rolling out new ones. Instead, they list those costs as fixed and not continuing, then say the updates are wholly separate endeavors.)
I'll shit on Apple's products all day long because they suck, but if some people like them, that's fine.
But there is no way anyone with a brain can honestly say Apple's products are technically superior, or that they handle their shit better than any other tech company.

Why does everything have to be a kit?
Rootkit. Okay.
Bootkit. I see what you did there.
Would a WoW hack that steals/sells your loot be a lootkit?
Would a viral advertising campaign that gets a bunch of douches to seek out 1930s era fashion for their high school proms be a zoot kit?
Would naughty chimney sweeps toss packages of dirt, grime, and grease down your chimney and call it a soot kit?
Is whatever drug / "treatment" the government uses on every former agent who goes public with stories about aliens called a coot kit?
Are those wooden owls you put out to scare other birds away from your crops a hoot kit?
Is the point of this post completely inconsequential, making the post a moot kit?
