I don't know about you, but I think I could arrange a pretty well-to-do outfit of cave dwelling ruffians and merrily go attacking whoever isn't part of our clan.
God bless people with way to much time to sniff around trying to find new green ideas. I say God bless em, cause I don't think anyone wants to print on Womby poo paper any more than people want to print on Kangaroo droppings...
Small Child: Look daddy! Skippy made a gift card!!
Well, while I am keen to help fulfil my civic duties, if I have to take three days off work for a trial, I then have to catch that three days up. There isn't someone else that can step in and do my work which is mainly analysis and requirement gathering.
While I would like to help out, I feel that there are probably a good number of other people that can do just as good a job at a jury box as I could and I am happy for them to do that so I don't have to then spend a week catching up on what I would have normally done anyhow.
And with that attitude, the prosecution lawyers will (or should if they are worth anything) strike you off the jury list for some legally acceptable reason (Does a simple objection do it? I never really looked into it) and replace you with one of the other "lock em up and throw away the key" soccer mums they have lining up for it.
and then you get to see a CGI animation of a large ball on a rubber like grid -drawn as a 2 dimensional analogy
Actually, it's a four dimensional analogy.
You have your x/y dimensions (forwards/backwards,left/right) as noormal, but they have flattened the z (up/down) as it's not important for the visualization. Now, instead of there being an up/down they have used that axis to show gravity.
Trying to draw something in four dimensions and hoping that the audience watching the show will make heads or tails of it would be like trying to nail jelly to a tree.
Burn down a house, go to jail. Burn down the economy, get a fat bonus.
Working out the rules in a system is one thing if you don't know them. It takes a smart man to do that. Working out how to bend them to your personal advantage takes a genius.
WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? Not the food. Not the energy, not the leftovers. Where does the MONEY come from? Where does the 2 dollars come from which you promise to repay? It is BORROWED INTO EXISTENCE WITH DEBT ATTACHED.
To answer, the money comes from the tears of all the capital letters in your post.
Either you scream and yell a lot, in which case you need to learn to speak more quietly (People who do not raise their voices are often listened to much better than those who need to scream) or you need to learn the concept that if you try to emphasize too much, the emphasis you wanted to come through becomes lost in the bold letters.
Maybe you should get the facts before opening your mouth. Less than 5% of the mortages failed.
I can tell you know honestly and truthfully, that if one of the employees where I work got one in twenty things wrong, they would be out the door in no time. What do you think would happen to a manufacturer if five percent of their product was defective?
To use the obligatory car example: What sort of a bailout do you think say Ford would get if they started making one in twenty cars that didn't work by the time they got to the end of the runway? Would anyone feel sorry for them that they were making shit products?
What if Goodyear got into financial trouble as one in twenty tyres it made didn't hold air? Reckon they would get a bailout this big?
Do you think that management who allowed such a level of irresponsibility to flourish would have a snowflakes chance of keeping their jobs?
I'm impressed that I got modded "Redundant" when I had the very first post in the thread.
Look, in my world, that clearly isn't as topsey turvy as your one is, the thread that is indeed redundant is at the bottom of the page, and in no way the "very first post". Sorry to burst your bubble kid, but this is the way the cookie crumbled.
this had to crash independently of the model - problem being that they used the same one. in other words: if all sheeple use the same model of reality then to make profit you need to use different one.
I would look at it slightly differently. The problem with this is that a model, as TFA says, is a simplistic representation of the overall item being looked at. Therefore a model has small flaws and imperfections - and this is fine, until everyone is using this same model. That's because when one of these small flaws starts to snowball and is getting bigger and bigger, no-one is there to pick it up as a problem as no-one's model is showing errors. Until it's too late.
I'm 53 and my physician makes a regular practice of PSA tests for men my age, actually I started having them @ 50. Also just had my first colonoscopy recently and good thing as I had one tumor removed that was pre-cancer.
This is rule of thumb, and Dr. Merenstein should have known this.
Could we please refrain from talking about a colonoscopy and using the phrase "rule of thumb" in one post?
It's the only place on the net where we can have a story about an indie band getting bent over a barrel by governments, and have the posts somehow morph into "God exists"... "No silly!" and no-one blinks an eye about it.
When asked at the border what that huge suspicious file is on your laptop, do you answer..."
Well, lets have a look at that now, and see which is the most fitting answer:
"I don't know, its a encryption contest. First person to decrypt the file gets $10,000."
Guard: A $10,000 reward eh? I better have a look at this. I need a new holiday...
Outcome: Laptop lost.
"Its a raw rendered animation. I am preparing my portfolio to send to Pixar."
Guard: A new animation going to Pixar eh? I better have a look at this, this could be freakin' cool!
Outcome: Laptop lost.
"Its a wadfile I'm assembling for an open source game file."
Guard: A WAD file eh? What sort of open source sick stuff are you doing you whacko? Come into this little cosy room for a moment.
Outcome: Laptop Lost. Arrested.
"It's a dump of an old VAX proprietary database that my boss wants me to port to SQL."
Guard: Oh, really, a secret mumbo jumbo database huh? Are you sure you aren't a TERRORIST?!? Is that a picture of the George Washington statue I see in your pocket? Better come with me!
Outcome: Arrested for being terrorist. Thrown into waiting cell for six years.
"Its a gig of encrypted kiddie pr0n."
Guard: Oh come on, be serious, if you aren't going to do this baggage check stuff properly don't do it at all. Now shove off!
Outcome: Guard doesn't believe such amazingly incriminating answer. Thinks you are obnoxious. Tells you to keep going.
Actual it can't apply to politics the high court has ruled that in order to have a free election politics can't be censored
Sounds simple if it went through. Got a site that is blocked? Want it UNblocked? Add some political commentary to it... I can see it now...

This is indeed one of the most amazing photos I have seen. Yeah, nebula are pretty, galaxies are neato and we all like those quirky things that radio telescopes find, but this is our planet. Somewhere on that black circle with the little white halo... somewhere on that is where I am. My house, my work, my friends. I might have been asleep when that was taken, I might have beer right here at work.
And while I was doing all that, someone took a few amazing photos. Kudos to them!
I/had/ cancer, and I"m still not sure that I'm in favor of it.
And based on your experience, if you could do something that would mean that your child never has to go through what you went through, would you not do it?

Read TFA for one to see how wrong you are, and secondly, if you were a doctor and needed something to practice on, who would you pick? Really?
How do you prevent someone from jamming it, or wirelessly broadcasting horse porn directly into your eyeball?
That isn't on your wish list of things to happen before you die? Freak!
I want a removable eye that I can continue to see from even if it's removed from the socket.

So much for the 1700s ideal of creating a classless society where everyone is treated equally. Politicians still believe they are nobility.

Holy moly, mod the parent here up, that picture is quite amazing!
I might have beer right here at work.
Actually, I believe it's called a Freudian slip.
I might have been right here at work.
There, fixed that for myself.
perhaps even under the guise of limiting/preventing piracy.
Silly boffin! It's for the CHILDRENZ!
