I read the book when I was ten. With a ten year old's memory, the main character was the awesome armor the troopers wore. There was no armor in the movie, therefore the movie sucked.
I'm wondering how they would secure against altered video that implicates the innocent or exonerates the guilty if they are not pulling the video directly from the source. It would break the chain of custody for the evidence. Even if only used in the investigation, the ease with which that investigation could be led off track makes me leery. That and the company proposing it.
Trust me...then alcoholism is going to be the least of your problems.
You have knowledge that taking 250 mgs of LSD will so devastate the average person's life that alcoholism will be a comparatively insubstantial problem?
Demonstrably so. Well proven to be less addictive than no-doz and lollipops. All whose comments or arguments cite LSD addiction get a zero on this subject and should do a bit of further reading.
(Funny you should ask. Why no, I am not promoting the use of LSD.)
The study also found a 47% increase in believing they could fly and 39% increase in the belief that they were covered in spiders over that of the placebo group.
The study included Really bad cop shows from the 70s?
Exactly. That's why I spread glass and sharp objects like tacks and rusty nails all over my kids floor. Then I stand over them and smack their hands when they touch anything dangerous.
I believe the question was, "Should I forget my VM server (it will make a nice games machine!) and just go straight to the cloud for all my infrastructure?"
So i'd recommend a nice trench digger. Not sure why it needs to be 18 inches deep. Seems like overkill. I know water and sewer lines should be below the frost line, but cable? Also, make sure you call the building department to make sure there are no important pipes/cables below already.
Really? Even if there is a pre-existing sexual relationship? Even if the person consents ahead of time? (I.e. "Get me drunk and have sex with me, pls".)
pre-existing sexual relationship: No. This is not consent. That would be like, "yo, she was all for it last year at the Chrismas party, so's I knowed her no really meant yes."
As far as pre-existing consent? I'd get it in writing. A person who is passed out can not give consent.
Admittedly, my references are a bit old. But we're not discussing major artists. I mentioned first albums. 5 mil for recording time is ludicrous. I'm guessing the lion's share went to umm... incidentals. My album cost 6 grand in the studio. Lacks some things, and if I cared anymore I'd like to take the masters and spend another 10 grand cleaning 'em up. Regardless of justifications and financial realities, those guys making their first album don't feel rich even though they just sold a respectable half million copies.
I agree with you and don't think it matters anymore though. Musicians that want to make a living now better have the chops to play live. Hopefully without the device that nudges those bad notes into key.
'sides. My entire diatribe was just an excuse to reference Floyd:)
Gold is 500,000 copies and platinum is 1,000,000. So if you go Gold, that's a net of $7,500,000.00. Now the company spent $100,000 to $250,000 recording, $3,000,000 in marketing (mostly payola) and another half million or so on incidentals (hookers, bail). Oh, and stamps. Add a half million.
The artist on the first album will 1 to 3% of the net, so with the remaining 3 and half million or so, that means the artist only owes the company an additional $150,000.00. Luckily there are 4 or 5 members in the band, so it's relativly painless. You should be able to make most of that back on your next album assuming you can come up with quality material in 9 months when the first album took 12 years of writing. (It's easier to just use the same songs with different lyrics.)
These are the things I would attempt. I would likely not succeed as few would contribute money to me to get them done (barring a true grass roots effort.)
Scale back the troops in Iraq. Leave a highly mobile force to deal with true hotspots and aid when specifically asked to by the foreign government in question. These troops need not even be stationed in Iraq. We never should have invaded Iraq and there is no good solution as to how we should exit.
Remove subsidies for corporations to build in a specific area. Building or expansion subsidies allow companies to not only take no risk, but to profit (outright grants of tax dollars) regardless of how bad a decision it is to build in an area.
Repeal laws which restrict the rights of individuals and/or which serve to create criminals out of otherwise law-abiding citizens.

did you just conflate the words of two different people, or did you just strawman yourself? something's not parsing.

you seem confused.
I like being called a lib.
forgot the c. Must have been sitting on it.

Go on...I'm fascinated.

Well... it is free thought. Guess you really do get what you pay for..

My issue is not with blackness or holeness. As I have learned, light does not escape black holes. Therefore, the misnomer here is the term 'brighter.'
ooof. I think I pulled a neuron. I need a nap now.
'The black hole was a million times brighter three centuries ago.'
What is it about this phrase I just can't wrap my mind around? Black hole...Brighter?
I'm seeing more and more projects that simply have me saying, "why?"
Seriously. I think filling my drives with random bits and seeing if there is anything readable would be more interesting.
And this requirement actually came through, I would get my tools out of the garage and renew my plumbing contactors license.
I see storms of shit in shit-canning a guy recovering from brain surgery.
Not that that should be the focus, but it likely will be.

Didn't know this.

Yep. I meant gross.
