As they technically don't host any infringing materials, they shouldn't be anything but legit - though I think they get hit with something along the lines of "conspiracy to enable infrigement" or some such muck - in which case, this might not actually have any bearing.
Detained for a few hours, no counsel present, interrogated by a bunch of FBI agents - because he wore Google Glasses inside a theatre? If that's not thuggery, I have no idea what is. Sure, he might not have been taken out the back and bruised within an inch of his life, but as far as proportional responses go, I think this is appaling.
As for "Why was he wearing them in the first place..." - how is that relevant in any way? They aren't illegal, they aren't dangerous and it's his own business if he wants to look a knob in his seat.
I would go one step further - and say that if you are REALLY on top of your game, then you would have noticed this malware running on your system, removed it yourself and the "eViL WiNdOwS" Malicious Software Removal Tool would have done nothing to your PC anyhow.
If you aren't on the ball enough to notice that your system has become infected, don't be so quick to anger when someone else removes the problem on your behalf.
Wouldn't it take longer to be pulled over, explain that you are in the secret service. Wait for the officer to stop laughing, then PROVE that you are in the secret service, then get back on the road?
I mean if something is "National Security" type stuff - where apparently seconds matter, it's so important that you can put your countrymen in the line of danger by whizzing past them at dizzying speeds, surely an interuption of at least five minutes (at the utter least) is going to be much much worse than simply doing the speed limit in the first place....
Oh, snap, I forgot I shouldn't have brought my logic and common sense into this conversation....
Given that a Rational Number is a fraction of a Natural Int and Non Zero Int, isn't there basically an infinite set of Rational numbers between each Natural?
Because it is basically a gentleman's way between them where neither side wants to start invalidating patents too much else the other side comes back at their patents. Both sides want to basically "win" while retaining their own patents intact.
A "win" without holding a deck of patents at the end isn't a win for either of them.
You could also apply the basic premise of MAD during the cold war to this, but replace nukes with patent invalidation.
Hmmm, I don't get it - and if you don't mind giving me a quick lesson, I am more than happy to learn it.
If we start with two particles, moving in a similar direction and come towards a point. Why is it different for the outcome? If the particles interact in a physical way, they hit one another, equal out and move in a straight line together. If they don't collide, doesn't their individual gravity entangle them into a mirrored curve? Over time, the amplitude of the curve would decrease due to the constant force applied to them - and sooner or later, even if they are still two particles, can't they be treated as a single particle with their combined vector (sort of like a flat helix shape)? At that point, wouldn't they weild a greater influence on other particles that they come past?
I mean if dark matter didn't clump due to gravity, it would be distributed utterly equally everwhere in a homogenous manner rather than clumping. And if it does clump, why doesn't it follow the conservation or angular momentum?
The gravitational force between them acts as a perfect friction. The energy goes into accelerating the particles in the ring. I get that an accretion disc around a large body spinning at stupid high speeds gets very very hot and does radiate a lot of that energy away, but something that couldn't radiate would simply rotate faster, and over time expand the radius of the orbit. The gravitational force of the earth will still be tugging on it, effectively slowing it down.
Conservation of angular momentum would likely turn any small particles into an accretion disc - which is sort of like a a ring around the earth that they are suggesting. If dark matter only interacts through gravity, this would actually be strengthened as there would be no collisions to knock this matter out of the plane.
Rings actually do make a lot of sense. Why else do you think all the planets are pretty much on the same plane, why are so many galazies that lovely spiral shape? Why are the asteroid belts in our solar system rings?
If the sun and the moon are acting together, then anything on the side of the earth opposite to the sun and moon would perceive the earth to be heavier.
Each religion wants to erect monuments to their own diety, I was thinking that Atheists don't believe in a god, ergo there would be loads of blank spaces donated by them next to the other statues...
What the Satanists don't realize is that if they build a monument another can be built beside it mocking it.
No, really, I think you are the one that isn't realizing it. The whole, entire, only purpose of this from their part is to mock the ten commandments thing that was donated to that location already.
there is a HUGE difference between a 10 year old tree and a 100 year old tree
But not so much visible difference between a 400 year old tree compared to a 500 year old tree.
Also, there are two places to count clam rings - and the hinge is generally used as the better one (though opening the clam to see the hinge rings kills it), though in this case due to SOO many rings, the ones on the inner hinge were not as easy to count as the ones on the outer shell - hence some (or one in four) were missed.

A Very interesting flow-on understanding.

Erm, you don't have to register to comment. That Anon Coward isn't just a funny nick you know? :P

Thank you muchly, I was actually going to explore it further on math.se myself lol.
Anyhow, thanks again for this most interesting spawn of a discussion!

Am I missing something in your numbers:
* 1/3 - 4 ...
Fourth antidiagonal:
* 4/1 - 5
* 3/2 - 6
* 2/3 - 7
* 1/4 - 8
How is 4/1 = 5?
Given that a Rational Number is a fraction of a Natural Int and Non Zero Int, isn't there basically an infinite set of Rational numbers between each Natural?
Between 1 and 2: .... ....
3/2... 4/3... 5/4... 6/5
How so? Rational numbers can exist between natural numbers. 7/4 lies between 1 and 2. Therefore that infinity is a larger set?
The one where she is Natural is the smallest, followed by the one where she is Rational - and of course the biggest is the one where she is Real.

There's no such word as "incenting".
I for one, am incented by your incenting statement about incent!

Feeling sheepish?
I think sex-ed sites that involve sheep probably could be blocked - and nothing of value will be lost.

I would argue that there are already a dozen monuments right next to the ten commandments one donated by atheists standing there...
