A mirror on vertical plane produces a laterally inverted image. OK. Why it does not produce upside down image? Is it in our brain? A mirror on horizontal plane, like a lake surface, produces an upside down and laterally inverted image. Why?
The good guy vigilante is a myth, even in states with open carry or liberal concealed carry.
There was an armed, uniformed police officer at the Orlando club at the time of the shooting. It didn't help. There's not much even a highly trained "good guy with a gun" can do do against a bad guy with an assault rifle.
I ran across this article which reports one Verizon customer used 77 TB in one month. He has a rack of servers in his home. If you allow someone to take advantage of you, there will always be someone to take you up on the offer.
The flora from your feces is supposed to spread on your skin and into your mouth and nose and eyes and ears. Not only your own, but that of the people around you.
Dear Sir, It is my most fervent hope that we never share the same zip code at the same time, ever. Regards, Everybody
The Holy Grail, according to Arthurian legend, bestows upon it's finder eternal youth, happiness, and an infinite abundance of food. It is a symbol of an ideal that every man seeks but can never attain. As such, it's a rather good metaphor for Artificial Intelligence research.
It really concerns me that Congress thinks it knows better than doctors do and now want to "train" doctors how to prescribe opiod pain medications. In my state there's talk about restricting the amount a doctor can prescribe to three days worth.
This issue hits particularly close to home, as I recently broke my foot and started taking opiod pain meds. If my doctor was prohibited from prescribing an adequate course of medication my pain would be undertreated. That's not OK with me.
The problem is there are millions of people who live on fixed incomes, like retirees and the disabled, who will now have an even harder time making ends meet with increased prices. Ostensibly, Social Security is adjusted each year to match inflation, but politicians have played with the formula that calculates this increase to the extent that it's grossly out of step with reality. Prices have gone up, as they do every year, except if you're a Washington bean counter, then they are exactly the same as last year. I'm not wildly optimistic that this trend will reverse any time soon.
A few years ago the US Military decided, for reasons never publicized, to resume vaccinations of personnel deploying to certain regions of the world. If the only stores are in known 1st world labs under high level containment protocols why would they have started doing that?
Because they know it's been weaponized. We're certain the Russians have done it, and it's possible China, Pakistan, India, and Iraq have too.
People around here think the words "the land of the free and the home of the brave" signify some deeply held core American values, but they are really just lyrics to a song. The phrase first appeared in a poem written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key which was later set to a British tune called "To Anacreon in Heaven" and renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner" which as you know was eventually adopted as the national Anthem.
My point is that they are just song lyrics, and while pleasing and patriotic they are really no more meaningful or insightful as Frank Zappa's "Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."
Yeah it's a little too close to Yakety Sax and the first association that evokes in my mind is Benny Hill chasing scantily clad ladies about. "Hard to take seriously" is a bit of an understatement.
I agree that it's not a given, but at least with Trump there is a chance something is done to benefit the public.
There's a 100% chance that his actions would be primarily motivated by what most benefits Donald Trump. Any benefit to the public would be entirely incidental. Fortunately, I'm not the least concerned that he has a chance of becoming president.
She's a vindictive and spiteful old twat.
Hillary is not my first choice - I I'd like to see Bernie Sanders in the White House - but if it's a choice between her and any Republican, I'm going to vote for her. I really do feel badly for the people who harbor such vitriol for her as she's likely going to be our president for the next 8 years. Gives 'em something to complain about, though, so there's that.
As to the article, you know things are bad when even the checks and balances aren't checking nor balancing the persistently abusive and unconstitutional government surveillance of American citizens. This upcoming election is the first time since the Snowden revelations that the majority of the American people have the opportunity to voice opposition to these practices. I sincerely hope (though secretly doubt) they don't fuck it up.
I guess we're just going to have to take it at face value that the CEO of the company, the person who has the most to gain from an increase in stock price, is making totally truthful and unbiased claims about the efficacy of this treatment.
Unless we make some incredible breakthrough in information theory (even bigger than quantum computation), how could anyone even imagine going 'up a level'?
Nobody writes perfect software. There's gotta be some bug we can exploit, escalate privileges, and write "Hello, world" on God's terminal.
Sure, there's a greater quantity available for streaming at a cheaper price than ever before. But if I want to pick what movies I watch, what is the other choice?
The purpose is to practice fighting in the conditions that a war might take place in. In case it happens.
We gathered valuable information about North Koreas ability to jam GPS and some experience doing operations under those conditions. So, seems like a net gain for the US to me.
Right you are. I think we should put all the undesirables in a camp where we can keep tabs on them. Then build some shower areas where the dirty miscreants can get clean - only instead of water, gas comes out and then kills them all. Then we can build some big ovens to bake 'em in since they are taking up so much space with their dead corpses.
On two separate occasions Facebook shutdown my fake name accounts, so I just don't use Facebook anymore.
That's wierd, I've never had any problem with obviously fake accounts on Facebook. Back when I played FFXI I had profiles for each of my characters without issue. I never did get around to making a real account, probably never will.
The vast majority of people are not terrorists, pedophiles, nor involved in organized crime. Why should they forfeit their right to privacy on the specious argument that it will help catch a few criminals?

So being forced to receive oral sex as man doesn't qualify as rape, but as a woman does?
Things you never hear: "Please stop sucking my dick or I'll call the police".

most workers work 40 hrs/week * 50 weeks/year for 2,000 hours...
Not at McDonalds they don't. The vast majority work part time and there's a reason for that. Hint: it's not to benefit the employees.

f I recognized that I'm being replaced by a robot and make the preparations to become a robot repairer, I'm going to be the person who gets the job.
And I'll be the guy who breaks them. Job security for us both!

OK, you've convinced me. It's a great idea. Let's drop many more nuclear weapons on civilian areas. It it for their own good. Woohoo!!
I don't think the Japanese people would agree with your assessment that being bombed by nuclear weapons was to their benefit.

Don't do your own crypto, the wiseman says.
You don't have to. Information about strong encryption is widely available to everyone, for instance here.
