This really reeks of some extremely-poorly-thought-out false flag silliness on the part of the Feds... if the intelligence services themselves are at risk, then surely we need more draconian "security measures" to protect ourselves...
who live roughly the same lifestyle humans did in the Paleolithic
Anthropologists have been telling us for nearly a century that we were fruit eaters before the Neolithic era, yet few are willing to listen (ask a dietitian or nutritionist and they'll equate "Paleo" with a diet high in animal protein). There isn't even consensus regarding our diet during the Paleolithic... and diet would have greatly determined lifestyle; therefore, the above statement is passing off mere conjecture as fact...
Israel, we are so proud of you: in your efforts to wipe out your fellow Semites (let's ignore for now the fact that most Jews aren't actually even Semitic), you've been remarkably restrained in not breaking out the nukes that you developed (well, with the help of pro-apartheid South Africa and very likely the CIA). I can't even imagine how you weren't tempted to use these in Palestine; rolling over unarmed civilians in armored bulldozers must have seemed so anti-climactic compared to the kind of fun you could have been having.
When has Israel ever used force? Only when provoked.
Your Koolaid is lacking effectiveness; it's beginning to smell like [gefilte] fish.;)
Logic would force me to conclude that while those places are pretty safe, anywhere with a large percentage of politicians and youth pastors is another story entirely.
You realize this. I realize this. I'm sure plenty of German cops realize this as well... those that are smart enough to be doing actual policework, that is. Those in charge of [whatever passes for] Hagen's police public relations department? Clearly not so much.
I'm very much looking forward to VR gaming, but have no intention of getting out of my seat.
I don't understand what the debate's about; I'm pretty sure this product will eventually be targeted at those who do want to get up and out of there seat. For those of you that don't, I imagine we'll eventually see you cruising around in cyberspace on those little fat-people-scooters...;)
Gotta love it when someone demands a simple explanation to a complex question. Incidentally, you're not from the area in question, are you? Simple explanations reign supreme there; accuracy, not so much...
I can already tell you at least some of what happened:
Regardless of whether they were trespassing or not (it certainly sounds as though they were), the journalists clearly assumed they were being detained illegally and were thus allowed to drive in the manner they did. However, the Tesla employees were clearly up to the chase, to the point of being willing to literally block the journalists' vehicle with their fucking bodies (WTF?!) and then there's the automobile vs ATV vehicle warfare... As to whether the damaged window happened during or at the conclusion of the chase is debateable; the seatbelt is clearly not.
They all come across like a bunch of fucking assholes.
Its a stupid bullying attitude that actively alienates cops from the people so IMHO actually does way more harm than good.
It's a well thought-out bullying attitude that actively alienates cops from the people (that clearly being the objective) and it does more good than harm to those in charge (even if it isn't immediately obvious) or rest assured things would be different. Mind you, to truly grasp any of this, you'd have to understand the world for what it is, not what you've been led to believe it is.
BTW, SRB's don't leak (they use solid propellent). I believe you guys are thinking of the o-rings that connected the hydrogen tank to the main engines; they'd become misshapen at colder temperatures thus causing liquid hydrogen to leak.
Too much Science Fiction in your statement. VR has been out for quite a while in TVs.
There's at least one difference between you and I: you see what is and I see what will be. I'm not wishing for it nor am I imaging it; it's where we're headed and all your reasoning and justifying won't make the least bit of difference. In fact, this greatly reminds me of a conversation I had with a camera shop owner in '94 when I warned him what the coming of digital would mean. Like you, he articulated all the "valid reasons" why I didn't know what I was talking about."
I think what Microsoft may not be understanding, or may be trying to ignore, is that people aren't buying new hardware because their old hardware meets their needs.
Their old hardware meets their needs for now but wait till everyone and their brother wants portable augmented reality in their pocket and fully interactive VR rooms in their homes. I was hoping to see Linux become the dominant platform for this emerging scene but politics prevailed (Linux support from Oculus/Facebook has obviously taken a back seat to DirectX); there'll come a day in the not-so-distant future when families will be getting second mortgages to finance upgrades of their Microsoft Home Worldservers or whatnot...
By "votes" I trust you are referring to the number of greenbacks in their wallets? Rest assured that they will soon, as the song goes, go separate ways.;)
FYI, to anyone who gives a fuck: this post was not meant as a reply to my own above post but rather to someone else's [fucking retarded] assertion that fixed objects such as trees are more dangerous to birds than wind farms(!)...

The former US president Ronald Reagen
I'm glad you were specific; otherwise, I might have gotten him confused with the former belly dancer Ronald Reagan...

never piloted a plain before
I've driven across Kansas and Oklahoma repeatedly; does that count?
How many times have they used one?

It just doesn't happen.

how is a Pepsi phone going to make people drink more Pepsi?
That's exactly what this guy wants you to be asking...
Your response was orthogonal to mine; you're talking about the what while I was referring (perhaps too indirectly) to the why.

This is actually the way I'd like to see all businesses work. Distribute profits among all employees
I'm sure all businesses will be leaping that the chance to implement this just as soon as the shareholders give it the green light...
Phrased differently: "What can we use to replace guns (which we kill people with) that we can't use to kill people with?"
By now we should be building the rockets in space and just delivering the materials from Earth.
By now we should be building rockets in space using materials from space. FTFY.

Why wouldn't you?!
Guess if he didn't want his code audited, this guy shouldn't have marketed his software to this particular industry. Dumbass.

No love for A3D? It's a far better codec!

Modded down by a total moron it would seem; what's that noise a sudden gust of wind often makes?? :p
