Extreme heat and magnetic forces would make it harder on the payload. Ultra high energy railguns usually need to have thier rails replaced everyfiring. Add in the complexity of, no doubt, hundreds of massive capicitors, it would be like the LHC.
Would they look at my half Scotish side? Or the German half? Or would they look at it and say I came straight out of a chimp via Africa and Mesopotamia?
Provided that you don't give them a reason to pull you over, you'll never have a problem with a cloned license plate. Bonus points if you make sure to use a plate that belongs specifically to the exact same colour/make/model of your car, and you can generally get away with just a ticket if you do get pulled for a moving violation.
Hacking/skimming RFID passports has be demonstrated, and will only get easier. The same rules apply, as long as you don't arrouse suspicion it is often bussiness as usual.
Imagine having to audit their liquidity? I believe thier best practices for an audit involve lots of defrosting and shuddering by a third party accounting firm.
A new expansion drops, and most of the current players are happy. Well of the 4 still playing, Ted perfers things the way they are, but the other 3 are psyched. They will be let down though, the new 4 person raid content is useless unless Ted also buys the expansion.
Lets take a little look at the statistics for criminal justice system.
The 1997 BSJ figures put the number of American's in prison/jail and on parole/probation at a total of 5,692,500.
Of Those 5,692,500 inmates, African American's numbered 2,149,900 or 37.8%. The 2000 census (closest used for comparible numbers) lists total number of African American descent population the US at 36,419,434 or 12.9% of the total population.
The stats say that African Americans are 3 times more likely to be convicted of crimes than they statistically should be.
Statistically, by your standards of proof, I can argue that African Americans are more likely to be convictable criminals, and by encorporating your facts, conclude they most likely have a brain disorder.
So my point is to ask, what do we do with them? Do we just lock them up becuase they are statistically pre-disposed to crime? Or do we perhaps look at some other correlating factors? Like poverty, substance abuse, education levels, income etc? Perhaps we should leave the idea, that expressed genetics controls our lives at concious level, back in the 1900s with the rest of eugenics movement.
I would say its easier to cheat in a video game, but don't forget that pro sports/racing are just as tainted by cheating. If this got bigger, individuals betting on team matches, I'm sure we would be more likely to see point shaving than flagrant hacks. Then again, if the technology existed... Im sure we would see some sort of android golfer botting up the links at least once.
"Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority."
I think thats more of an apt summary which doesn't imply a bias based on data which lies outside the scope of thier research.
They were comparing values of vitamins in one to the other, let those facts stand on thier own. There is no nutritional value in sustainability, pesticide use or ecologically sound farming practices nor should any imply as such.
How dare you put cursive and blacksmithing into the same group... blacksmithing is far more usefull in today's society. How many jobs can you get solely based on good cursive script? None. But I can get a job as a ferrier or artisan blacksmith, bladesmith etc.
More importantly, we are on the threshhold of turning chickens into eggs, thus make the chicken-egg question one of quantum superposition. The chicken can be, both chicken and egg, and many chickens and many eggs *brian explodes*
So we all agree it isn't theft. Its obviously copyright infringement! The penalties in the US would mark it as 100,000$ per voicemail track downloaded.
Murder is defined as the unlawful killing of a human being. This requires the death of a human being, being the ceasation of life. One cannot commit virtual murder.
Further more, one cannot commit murder against an artificial intelligence or even an alien (at this moment in most countries).
To confuse 'killing' avatars in an MMO with murder is rediculous, at its best, rendering an avatar useless against the law would be property damage.
The photorealistic qualities of games do not change the law, or impart more permanent consequences. Even if a computer peripheral sprays blood on my face after shooting a digital representation of my mom on screen, it doesn't mean I killed her. It may not be great for one's mental health, but neither is entertaining to many realistic daydreams about similar topics.
Page me when I can actually press a button while playing a game, and a handgun mounted on top of thier monitor shoots someone in face.
The bill proposes the ability for police to make warrentless
intercepts of electronic information with the aid of ISPs. While I
believe in the best efforts of the police and our intelligence
communities, and I believe in making their job easier, I do not
believe this is the path to take.
This is a fundamental erosion of personal privacy. Warrants for
searches are applied for and executed all the time, and justice is
well served by the judicial oversight. The point of oversight is to
balance the justice of the many against the privacy of the individual.
Wholesale disregard for oversight leads to abuse, the police are only
human and humans are fallible.
I also call into question, the scale of which these are laws are
designed to help the people. Terrorism and child pornography (while
abhorrent) are todays boogeymenm, occupying such a fractional
percentage of actual crime. The value of the electronic intercepts a
law like this would provide would be minimal in cases of
drug/organized crime when compared to phone tapping and physical
searches (both of which require warrants).
There are ways to fight crime; money for more officers, money for
investigations, prosecution and witness protection, and better
inter-agency communication. We can reduce poverty, increase
education, raise the standard of living to fight crime. Eroding the
rights of the innocent populance doesn't fight crime.
What if they could hook a device up to your engine block, and siphon off all the stored heat residing inside and use it to heat thier water? Its useful free energy (not withstanding the energy required to build such a system). And it would provide a valueable service.
Article says they are in their friends and family stage, which is essentially just end of alpha, pre beta stage. And they were going to release in June? I'm not sure who laid out milestones and delivery dates, but they seriously miscalculated the ammount of time necessary to bring a game from beta to polish. Good MMOs have taken at least 6 months to a year from a close beta to a successful launch. What the hell were they going to change in 2 months? What if one, or maybe two features needed redesigning? It's a good thing they are delaying it then.
The situation regarding the prosecution of members Bountiful, BC (to which I think you are refering specifically) is a touchy one. As you say, by prosecuting them under bigamy, they risk having the courts define what is and isn't legal under the charter. There is huge room for interpretation.
In the broadest view, any restrictive state definitions of marriage would be discriminatory. In the narrowest it would limit the rights of homosexuals to enjoy monogomous marriages.
I personally can't think they would uphold a bigamy conviction under the charter. The argument that all bigamy is a defacto case of abuse is absurd, there shouldn't be absolutist moral judgements against lifestyle choices codified in our legal system.
In my new script, a idealogical lawmaker teams up with a mad scientist, and they use his time machine to travel back to Germany circa 1938 in an attempt to ban paintballing. It irreversably alters the timeline, causing Germany to surrender to France, Russia to become a Democracy promoting peacekeeper nation, England sinks into the sea, and America becomes a communist regime after a southern revolt.

No, I think they are the type to try and save the Titanic by drilling holes in the floor, so the water will have somewhere to drain out.

MMO: The Movie
Act 1. Scene 1.
Ext. Bank, Daylight
The Hero, Heroine, Sidekick and Disposable Guy#1, stand outside the bank, hanging around the mail box.
Hero: LF Healer, for heroic movie then gtg! Have geared tank, DPS! Must be keyed and exalted rep status!
Ext. Bank, Night
Sidekick: Seriously, screw this. Can't buy a freaken heroic run on this server. That's it, when a new MMO comes Im jumping ship.
