"Well that means users have to keep their usage reasonable" I think more specifically, non commercial, and no public services. Sure, you can torrent a terabyte of movies, but don't open up a website offering terabytes of movies to everyone.
I really do not get people willing to spend money on this. Sure, you pretty much need RSS to survive on the internet. But you can get it for free, or do it yourself; On the web their is always a free alternative.
I have been using The Old Reader since before Google Reader went offline.
I stuck with them through month long wanting queues, ubiquitous downtime and slow servers, and extended offline time. Thinking these guys were not amateur hobbyists doing something neat for as long as it suited them.
Then one day I am told that I did not sign up early enough, and that they are closing down because it is too much work.
I don't care if it continues publicly, I will not be using it anymore.
I am sure they can afford Apple products. It is just that they do not get paid enough to always refrains from wanting to stick an iphone in their pocket and make a few extra hundred dollars that week.

AKA up to 20 years old in some instances. But like 100 years ago 12 yo was considered adult for women. The vast majority of paedophiles fall under only this definition, that is why I used it.
Sure there are a few that fit the more stringent definition, but there are a few people who are only sexually attracted to gas cans, or chairs.
And since the vacuum insulated the heat, it matter a whole lot less. Who cares if something is hot, if the only possible way it could be bad is if an astronaut took off his suit in space and then touched it.
How is this heat issue any different than with normal rocket ships.
I Guarantee that it will technically not be a slingshot. They are probably talking about some mass driver type of thing. I am sure that whatever it is, it would have a long long mussel.
No, he is right and you misunderstand. The original printed contract would still be valid, but there is no way to tell when the additions were added, so you could never prove that they were there before or after the signatures, without being initialized by both parties.
But this is not a contract or typical legal document. It is a personal letter. Specifically worded in a legal advise style. And never officially promises anything, that I can see.
And the US goes back on its promises to others all the time. Even to other nations. If you counted individuals, they do so thousands of times everyday.
More to the point, is this even legally binding for the US? I would expect the letter would need to be signed by congress and the president to be an actual promise.
I think this is were the US government orders one of its minions to torture and kill Snowden, laughing maniacally all the while. Then Snowden cries "but, you promised not to kill me!" And the government replies "And "I" won't."
But that is not the issue here. The issue mentioned a few comments up is that someone cannot even get an 8 year old driver for his 8 year old hardware.
He is not so much worried about the bleeding edge, he just wants his hardware to run.
Honestly, I think the main problem was far simpler than high school level coding practices.
When this happens: "The feeling was described by patient Ray Cox as "an intense electric shock", causing him to scream and run out of the treatment room." And then the patient dies of radiation poisoning. And you continue using the machine for years afterwards without understanding what happened, and patients continue to die over a 2 year period.
But the hardware, software, and drivers were all created and tested 8 years ago. There is no reason to retest the same drivers over and over again, simply because time has elapsing in the interim.
They built those back when SUN X4500 was brand new. And it cost them nothing to have the drivers sitting in storage for 8 years. Theoretically, someone even had a maintenance contract for that exact SUN X4500, and had those exact drivers on it. When you need a maintenance contract to even use your 8 year old hardware, you don't really own it. You are just leasing the right to operate it.
The postal service is not really anything more than an advertisement delivery service anymore. And since they have a monopoly, why not just charge more for the service.
Because that $353 is to deliver 99.9% unwanted mail, so it should be profitable.

Shut-up and take my money!
You obviously have not been using TOR.

The younger, the heather (particularly in the past), the better offspring.
The age of consent has been raised over the years to be far far past when the child bearing age starts.
Evolution did not create paedophilia, changing morals and laws (imposed by Western Christianity) created paedophilia.
And there are already laws in place the prevent most of what the NSA is doing.
We do not need new laws, just actual accountability to existing laws.

How about use it as a burial device. Some people would likely pay huge amounts for a space burial.
This all sounds overly specific.

That is your main problem, right there.
Or decide the the best blood flow is from a vein running through your eye.

I think these brain scans prove that they are not pretending. At least not any more than anyone else.
I sounds like they have the best of both worlds.
It might make more sense to train "normal" people to have this advantage.
Being a Psychopath does not make you a criminal, nor does it make you violent.
