yea good and obvious counter point. This is also making the assumption that nothing is being done. quick search on google would suggest otherwise. I understand the ACLU perspective on this and not infringing on human rights and all, but we are creatures capable of common sense and my question why would you want video out there of people pretending to rape another. I guess the natrual reaction then is what about violent movies ? The truthful answer to this is what is the intent and perspective. you show such an act as a part of telling an over all story. however filming a depraved act purlry in and of it self is to serve no better purpose than to derive pleasure directly from that act for which quite frankly I believe there is no justification.
I thought the whole point of environmentally friendly fuel was to reduce carbon emissions. Ok so ethanol burns cleaner its still carbon based. Correct me if i'm wrong here. Why aren't we trying to invest in feasabel ways to produce hydrogen or some other truly clean burning fuel ?
simple really. They sell your name and address, ever wonder how those preapproved mailers get to your house ? equifax makes a nice dollar from selling the names of different tiers of people. By allowing people to freeze their credit those names can no longer be sold or used.
well usually you sue the architect, engineer, and contractor. Then they will let their E&O insurance cover it. problem solved. unless your building it yourself in which case your dumb.
The whole purpose of data/statistics is to prove your point. The US government has always misrepresented data to prove it's point. Its the 'tail wagging the dog'. Government makes policy, in order to not seem like a tyranny government creates data to justify policy. Let's see, War in Iraq, Spanish American war. I could go on forever this isn't new and we shouldn't' pretend it is. The problem is most people don't understand statistical data. Its not just a matter of greater than or less than, there are so many mitigating factors. But thats what we get, guess what we are also behind Europe on mmm education maybe . No wonder American's buy everything they here or see as fact. There is a reason advertising is a billion dollar industry, we're jsut a bunch of little fat fish waiting for the magic hook to re-appear
I speak as an expert on this, if the house was sitting in flood water then its probably useless. saturated wood loses its trueness and is susceptible to dry rot. your looking at warped walls which are a pain in the but to finish. I suggest if the house has a second story you put all of your new hi fi equipment up there as it's usually no good sitting in ten feet of water.
Let's put a few things in perspective. a.) outside of society there is chaos. society, as in social liberties, freedom pursuit of happiness did not evolve until some people decided we need to put in controls.
b.) those who are most active (not verbally) in society generally are the ones who impact society and said controls more. So stop acting like this is a new thing its just new technology. Once it was the census, then finger printing. Its just a new technology that is doing what we have always done enforce those controls that keep us from anarchy.
So all that being said instead of crying fowl just because people are using cameras how about getting from around your computer and start doing something active to play apart in how this new technology is used to enforce those controls. Shouting wolf only encourages panic.
wouldn't even attempting to search for the anarchist cook book get you on an FBI watch list. Much less downloading it and printing it out. No thank you I have no desire for a indefinite stay at gitmo's
yea, but only when I pedal extra hard and hold these rabbit ears at 45 degrees above my head, while whistling binaries tones into this set of tin can and strings.
This has more to do with empathy. Picture your enemy is a 14 y/o iraqi girl with an AK. looking her in the eyes will cause you to connect, question and pause. all of which can be fatal under threatening conditions.
back in those days I worked for a graphics design shop and everything we did revolveld around those damn drives. this was before CD's but I recall constantly fighting with either zip drives or SyQuest drives. Reading reviews now they seemed great but I remember it being a crap shoot as you would spend hours copying the file the have to re-read it to make sure it worked. it took all damn day just to copy a file and check it.
keep in mind any evidence submitted can be refuted by the defendants lawyer. So it would be within his best interest to find an 'expert' who could say something like 'she had an open wifi terminal, or my daughter was doing an essay.' I dont know the details of the trial but I'm sure the evidence was supporting.
the idea of degradable logic is pretty enticing for the military. Say you have a spy drone which is down in enemy territory. it woul d be nice to be able to destroy it relatively easy. ie being able to protect technology.
one of the reasons for this is a.) competitive pay, b.) suitable work conditions. I actually considered going into teaching ( BS in architectural engineering) The process involved taking a rather intensive multi discipline test. A test that dealt with college level concepts in everything from math, to the arts, to humanities. You also have to be enrolled in a teaching program. So in order to be a teacher in California you have to a.) have a degree in some field of study. b.) pass the qualification exams (see link) and be must be actively enrolled in a teaching program. or have a teaching degree.
If I did all this i probably would be making around $40,000 a year if I chose to teach in the most volatile schools. After all this I decided to stick with my career, where in pay wise i've faired much better. long story short for what you have to do to get what your paid its not worth it. not to mention the unpaid overtime... bringing papers home to correct, lesson plans. etc.
you don't think like a terrorist. Think of the history, first it was hijack the plane hold hostages fly to neutral territory. They came the no negotiations with terrorist rule so then they started leaving bombs on planes. Then that was effective they took over the plane. Ok, so now we have total control of the plane. Now all the terrorist does is hijack the next, train, cruise ship, oil tanker, cargo ship, good year blimp, subway car, see where I'm going with this ? The only purpose this technology serves is to give people a false sense of security.
Your brother, evidently, is either an idiot with poor eyesight _or_ correct about his TV sucking wastewater -- here's why:
Standard Television signal is approximately 480 lines of resolution, meaning there are 480 different pixels in every vertical line on the television, and the signal is interlaced, meaning that the TV displays 1/2 of the lines in the first scan (1st, 3rd, 5th, so on) and then the second half of the lines in the second scan (2nd, 4th, 6th, so on). This means that at any given time, only 240 of the lines of video on your TV are being updated, meaning that you're not getting all 480 lines of solid resolution. technically speaking yes, but thought an interlaced picture only displays half the frames per second at yoru standard 30 frames a minute. given a.) visual persistence, and b.) your eye seeing 24 frames a sec. you really actually see all 480 frames. Interlacing the image was just a smart way to minimize teh data stream without losing any 'visable' difference.
you, know, after watching quite a few UFO documentaries on supposed reputable stations the only thing I can say is screw em. Until Aliens have the decency to walk up in broad daylight and say hello obviously they dont want to be seen. So leave them be, if they wanted to be discovered I dont' think it woudl be very difficult. So lets assume they don't want to, and up until they send there arrival notice press lets ignore them and go back to our lives.
If this was a case in the supreme court it would be thrown out on the basis of circumstantial evidence.
I think I see where your going with this ie. is it a new event or just a re-occuring event. I'm a guess and say the first. You figure 30 years ago the ice shelves/glaciers were as much as twice as big as they are now. It all comes down to proportion. let say 30 years ago ice shelves represented about 500 square miles of area (ficticous number) this number proportionally wasnt' much. now lets reduce the total square footage of ice sheets by half, then break of the same amout. Yes it's the same as 30 years ago but proportionally it is significantly larger than in the past.
actually SCE sent me a $5 gift card for starbucks for switching to paperless billing. Truth is I spend half my day at a computer to its easier for me to be able to manipulate all this from the computer. plus I don't have to worry about paper every where and shredding info. when all things are concidered paperless is more secure and faster.
I think that is the direction that joe average wants the internet to go. He wants to upload and save all his pics to the net, have all his e-mails accessable via the web from anywhere. He wants his bills e-mailed to him and he wants his banking online. He also likes the idea of accessing his phone messages via his computer.
The traditional desktop was never by choice I dont think. It evolved this way because of technological limitations, lets be honest. If it were from pure design it would be no bigger than a note pad. So my point is yes it will be a reality it's just a matter of companies investing in gurantees. As opposed to just selling a hot service without really backing it up. This applies not only to e-mail but to online sales (security), storage services like flicker and utube (bandwidth and up time).
