basically, if you make something look too close to reality, people start focusing on the small differences between it and reality (as opposed to something being obviously not real)
that sounds like variable bitrate compression - would there be something similar for video, and if not is there a reason the concept works for audio better than video?
I wouldn't know about HSBC like the sibling AC said, but Citizens seems to have relatively intelligent security practices. Thing is, even big banks often aren't available in certain parts of the country.
nothing says states can't stick with federal legal tender, they just can't make up their own unless it's gold/silver
"coin money and regulate the value thereof" as one of Congress' powers means the Feds aren't so restricted. I guess paper currency would fall under debt
actually, the House and Senate can pass different versions of a bill, but then it goes to a conference committee. something could go wrong at this step as well.
abuse of riders/amendments is a problem, but what's the legalese for "one thing at a time"? That's another problem.
Yes, the Constitution is often very clear. The literal wording doesn't make reasonable exceptions like that; if it did, the document wouldn't be so clear anymore. Yeah, taking it too literally and making up exceptions both seem like bad ideas
Sometimes it isn't clear enough, especially when dealing with situations or technology the Founders hadn't envisioned.
Amendments to add or remove a reasonable exception wouldn't fly because of the group negatively affected.
I'm saying the monkeys in his example might be doing that for power reasons or something rather than homosexual attraction reasons. Yes it happens in humans too. Yes there's actual homosexual behavior. However, what I posted still seemed like an important clarification to make.
I agree with much of this, may have modded you up if I hadn't posted already.
yes, some people are overly dramatic about it. Getting bullied seems like a nerd thing (that fits with your "slightly autistic", I suppose) A lot of the media hype I see is about bullied LGBT's, another actual issue.
Yeah, it's bullshit when fighting back gets you in as much if not more trouble (if fighting back doesn't lead to death or major physical injury)
Slashdot Mirror
finally, the US government will do more about it?
they'd probably be called 'Minister of Defence' or somesuch. /. is a US-focused site
anyway, stuff like this had happened before,
This did happen to a "tricorder" app, and that would be CBS
I was thinking about about things related to competition and the personal/group development of participants
stuff related to money works too.
maybe it's a lesser of two evils way to handle those human instincts, maybe it's even a positive when done right.
+1 informative.
a different angle on the Titanic lifeboat situation.
Late 30's is not a problem
I'm a straight guy and even I recognize this stuff about beauty standards is ridiculous.
yeah, I know a guy with negative comments on authenticity, but positive comments on the outfit one of the women was wearing. ;)
this was Stirling in NY
maybe sports are a way to channel certain instincts without the massive damage of war

yes, that's part of the conference committee process. I should have been more clear about that.

...start with a large fortune.
I've heard that joke about Vegas instead of Hollywood.
marketroids aside, different isotopes or proportions thereof might come in handy for something.
I am not a lawyer, but:
contracts requiring illegal acts can't be enforced*. yeah, that would probably fall under unconscionable in general
* sex in contracts can be a no-go because of similarities to prostitution.

#5, Cracked is right on the mark (they're often great at humor that makes a point)

and legalese is painful to read compared to even regular documents of similar length.
seemed like a normal possessive apostrophe to me.
"s's" is a mess
a lot of media coverage focuses on analyzing who's winning/losing rather than discussing issues. That's probably why.
