Yes, but the problem is that some people never have enough food/entertainment/money/power... Once you find a way to stop people like that from existing you can have your utopia.
We *are* in NATO and in the EU already. And yeah, they do whatever they want to us. There are US military bases and EU regulations that don't take into account the way people live around here. E.g. they make sheperds transport sheep in cramped up trucks because moving by foot for a few days would be too "traumatizing" for the poor critters.
Are these things only visible in the north? Maybe something this powerful can be seen from lower latitudes like 45deg north? I'm in Eastern Europe, in Romania, do you think it'll be visible?
Yeah, we used to have guys coming at 5-6am in the morning to deliver milk to our doorstep, just like in the movies/cartoons. They would come to our building and fill up the empty bottles posted up front (or switch them, I can't remember). This was before everything came in a boxes or plastic bags. It was a lot more economical, convenient and more environment friendly. Companies truly destroy everything.
OK, so GM is not the only problem (or not a problem at all)... My point still stands, by buying from small merchants you at least have a chance of getting flavored tomatoes while buying from a superstore will probably get you perfect looking tomatoes but without taste.
As for the consumer part, at least in my country, they're still not that stupid with the most obvious argument being the fact that small merchants still persist and the reason is probably because they grow the good tomatoes.
Obviously you can substitute the tomato with any fruit/vegetable.
I don't know how the big stores in the USA are but here in Romania they suck at fruits and vegetables. (Yes, we have big malls and huge stores, we are not in the dark ages like some of the Americans think).
You are right, they have the fruit and vegetables with a lot of diversity and all year round but when they're not in season they taste horrible or have no taste. They look good because of GM or plain pumping up with stuff for growth.
Even when they are in season they are still not as good as what you can get from small time merchants. Yeah, some merchants try to rip you off, some have bad products but if you know where to look you find great fruits and vegetables. For example, tomatoes that are grown in a simple garden with no fertilizers and pesticides can't even be compared to that shit that comes out of greenhouses. Same goes for other simple things like pickles, bread... We buy them from small merchants or make our own.
I'm not trying to bash you or your country, maybe the stuff there really is right, I wish I could see it. Also I wish you could see what we have here, maybe it will change your mind about small time growers.
Japanese came up with grocery shopping while in the subway - you get your phone out and scan the barcodes for what you want to buy and they deliver your goods some time later at home. (The products are large pictures on the subway wall). Of course, this doesn't solve the problem that you mention, i.e. checking the state of fruit and so on.
That's my concept too mostly - even if you go up or down the scale ladder you get the same format and therefore the same laws for life and thought. But I have to ask why do you call it She? Just for fun or is it something because of your native language?
Look, scientists know we can't "be sure" that dark matter exists. But we can be sure that there is a gravitational anomaly around galaxies and now between them. That anomaly surrounds galaxies and links them with filaments. It should look like a large network of neurons.
Now, that anomaly can happen for any reason but it's just easier to assume that it's some kind of matter that we cannot see yet. What I'm thinking is that now that we know the Higgs boson exists we could try and see if it interacts with dark matter. I mean, if dark matter has mass (and gravity) it should interact with the Higgs boson at least.
Also, even if your game is free to play, I'm sure you can pay the 99$ yourself or get some donations for it. Hosting the game would probably cost more anyway.
It's easy to say "just man up and fight the charges" but when the whole justice system works against you (and I'm pretty sure they do if he's guilty or not) you don't stand a chance, no matter what lawyer and defense you have.
Also, Assange is known to be highly paranoid about his protection which might explain why he tries to dodge going to court. Maybe I'm wrong and he would have a winnable trial but he thinks he won't so he doesn't take any chances.
Well I suppose the point was you cannot say NDB is a viable alternative to MemSQL as a memory based DB if NDB has limitations over MemSQL. That's like when you're going to buy something and there is an asshole of a salesman that tries to sell you something you don't need/want because "it's just as good".
I wonder how fast MySQL, postgresql or any other disk based DB server would work if put on a ram disk? Of course it would make it riskier but it could work if you would use a memory mapped file s.t. it will dump new data as fast as the HDD can write.
Right now, for the first time in my life, the sitting President of the United States, an elected official, is personally reviewing the data on terrorists and personally deciding whether or not to attempt to take these people out. He's not handing the job to an analyst or to an assistant-to-an-undersecretary or some other unknown, non-elected bureaucrat. He is personally taking the responsibility and accepting the ramifications of these decisions.
Unless he also created said data from the start to the end you cannot be sure he will make the right decision since that data might be wrong. What IS happening is they are giving him the responsability s.t. he will take the fall if shit hits the fan, i.e. he is the scapegoat as always was the case with presidents. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a choice, he only gets "instructions".
You will say that that is just a conspiracy theory, it might be but think about Bush, surely they knew how dumb he was yet they chose him as a candidate... They wanted him to be elected so he would get all the shit. It's his fault for the wars, the economy, etc. It's not the banks', the oil companies' or the weapons companies' fault.
No, it was some guy on a TED talk that wanted to abolish patents or something like that. And this was his plan, patenting frivolous lawsuits. Everyone laughed and cheered.

Not a good idea, a contest like that would only make language arts students think their college degree will be useful for something...

Ye, sounds like a way to build some hype around the digital eye glass stuff.
Spot on with the stereotype about me thinking of the Japanese with that stereotype!

I'm guessing because not all desktops have bluetooth capability.

Well if you really want to go there, no... galaxies wouldn't be sentient because they would be the neurons. The Sentient One is The Universe.
I have to ask... The Higgs boson is the particle that gives other particle mass - how can it have mass itself? By interacting with other Higgs bosons?

Those are my thoughts anyway.
Well not necessarily, you can actually find a method of solving something so you don't have to go brute force with or without filtering results
Look up the movie "The Man From Earth" - pretty good one.
