By "3000 consumers", do they mean 3000 Apple consumers that just bought the IPhone 4 on that site by any chance? Because I really doubt that 35% of "consumers" in general plan to buy a new phone, not to speak of a certain Apple phone...
Unshakable means, that no matter what, these individuals will never become disbelievers. The rest of the population may accept the idea at one point and reject it again sometimes later, but 10% will always stick with it. In the end this is just some simulation that ran with certain probabilities to switch. If for 10% of the population the probability to switch from believer to nonbeliever is zero, then this seeding group will be enough to spread it to the majority eventually.
I am pretty sure that this story was on here some time ago and in more detail at that first appearance... I don't know if it was about ideas that time, but it was the same simulation, with the same result.
I don't quite understand the spin to this. Unlikely to survive? They are still filthy rich, they own all those companies. They are not trying to win a popularity contest. They are not politicians who need votes to stay in power. So, even if that guy gets sentenced to prison and branded as the most evil scum, he can still be the hair to that his father later on. How would public opinion be his downfall? Not to mention that owning most of the media gives you a bit of an advantage when handling that...
The difference comes into play when obtaining this information from a different source (a leak, Google, own investigations...) and then redistributing it. With one definition, this would get you into trouble (depending on your person, things like espionage, treason might get thrown at you), with the other one, you are fine.
What causes this? Are they blacklisting single videos on youtube? But why does changing the connection solve this? Are they listening in on your connection and modify blocks individually just for your session? Why would they block a site (facebook) and then unblock it an hour later? The content is most likely unchanged. Are they using a rand() to decide on blocks?
It was an US court. Scientology is not a relegion in any european country I know of. Germany even considers them a threat to democracy and has it observed by it's intelligence agency. That means it gets the same treatment as neonazi groups and islamistic radicals.
The problem is not with the design. I am pretty sure that it would be possible to get the nuclear technology running in a safe way, if costs would not be considered.
But german nuclear plants are run by energy megacons. As any business they invest only as much, as is required to abide the law and keep the plant running. If they can get away with saving money by any loophole, they do it. Those plants are degrading, we got a high number of malfunctions, that just should not happen with proper equipment. The whole atomic supervision department is so clustered with the nuclear lobby, that I can not trust them to do their job.
Operating nuclear power plants as a business is just insane. How can I trust a for profit cooperation to handle this? The real joke is, that while the power companies make money with operating the plant, they do not pay anything to get rid of the nuclear waste. This task is entirely shouldered on the german taxpayer.
So, how come when I go shopping, the iPods are usually the most expensive players for a given feature set?I don't remind this being different in any point in time either. I always went for the cheap stuff. iPod never was cheap.
How do I have to imagine a "4 bedroom house"? A bedroom is any room I can place a bed in. So does this mean it's a house with 4 rooms that are not already kitchen, bathroom and so on?
Here is the issue though: You can already buy another titan "with just a few bucks" in EvE. Start up a load of accounts, sub them with PLEX either bought directly, or by ISK, use bots to let them farm 23/7 in your alliance's space, use isk farmed by bots to buy those titans. There... successfully converted PLEX into titans.
But you can currently buy PLEX. With those you can buy a character that already has all the skillpoints and faction standing you need. It's common praxis and it's approved by CCP.
Gametime they can use to build up mutiple accounts, because in EvE multi-accounts are legal. Mutiple accounts mean more isk, which means more power in game. You can also use them to straightout buy powerful characters. So yes you are buying in game power with PLEX. Always has been that way, nothing changing here.
Why does a mobile need a chip to do this? Any provider can send me messages. They do that when I go to another country, or when their prices change for example. Why not simply set up a server somewhere with "urgent messages" and let the providers broadcast them to every phone currently logged into their network? They seem to have the infrastructure to do that already.
Actually the link in the OP doesn't mention a chip, only a network. What's up with this?
The fact that he always sent other guys to do the suicide bombing should tell you, that he was not that keen to get the paradise express. He was a typical commander in that respect I guess...
Huh? If Nintendo took their profit and put it into bounds, they would earn money at the exact same rate. Money that comes from online games works the same as money from cartridges, once you "bound" it..

It is a flexible screen, not a phone. The screen is sticking out from a rather huge plastic housing, that includes the actual phone and battery. This may be a demo app for using flexing as an input method (which looks completly useless in the video), but calling it a flexible phone that "conforms to the shape of its user's pocket" is really stupid.

Maybe they give me 10$ for linking to this news.
Time for the botnet owner to cash in with some new, yet unthreatening info?
Maybe those drugs are just super expensive. A total number of consumers would be more useful.

This seems to be a case of the latter one.
Even as a vegan you can't get around eating germs and yeast.

It does put you and me in trouble...
Reminds me of that idea to breed lucky humans. Can't remember where I read that though (I think it was some SciFi).

I mean usually it is an ID. Not a program.

Put every single passenger into their own kevlar-sack, then stack them in those bomb proof freight containers.
It's the only way to be sure.
