Could someone who is a lawyer better explain this? Is it not a challenge to forensics if you challenge the method of the forensics? Even highly reliable software averages about 1 error per kloc, seems like it would be easy to have a field day with poking holes in "detection" software. Are Australians not allowed to challenge the devices used to catch them in crimes?
If you get a definative answer of No out of step 3, who is going to want to fund more trips or more trips to different locations with the same goal? Although a definative No would be a start to give corporations free reign to strip resources out of a planet or moon or asteroid rather than here where they are destroying existing life.
Because ET life believers have been painted as nutjobs because of the outspoken ones who had ahem "close" encounters with ET life. Scientifically speaking it is certainly probable we could find something else, getting emotional taxpayers to fund something is an entirely different story. Especially with step 4.
And using a poor fit for a language to make products you are going to sell is management genius? Even if you happen to make that poorly-fitting language internally.
Sorry I lost my sarcasm tags. I do actually worry our anti-agression/violence campaign will undermine our ability to deal with horrific situations on an individual level. Think about how a small child deals with a scraped knee. What happens if you grow up never desensitized to that emotional reaction? What happens when you are in an awful car accident and need to free your family? What do you do if you want to be a medical worker?
Don't you know that using violent discipline teaches your kids violence is ok?
I fear for the generation whose first responders who faint at the sight of blood, because they probably will be responding to my generation.
If the defence industry (building all those machines of death) were nationalised then it WOULD kickstart the economy...
First off the defense industry builds more than machines of death. The machines I work with have been major players in rescue and aid missions in all of the recent global natural disasters. Yep they are used for war but also for humanitarian reasons.
Secondly, nationalizing it would kickstart the economy, but the reason contracting has taken off in our government is because once someone becomes a government employee it is damn hard to get rid of them. The taxpayers don't want to hang all of the contractors semi-permanently on the government payrolls even if a government position would pay less and they would need fewer workers.
Also, maybe there are alot of no-bid contracts but nationalizing it all means that every contract is no-bid. The guys who are hedging their costs in a private market now are going to be hedging their costs in a proprietary market at that point.
Yeah but I can't trust myself either. Who knows how many accounts I have. I don't. Ok so most follow the same general scheme but then you get the outliers who won't accept a normal scheme so you have to have a unique password for their site. There are several accounts I don't even bother to guess I just use the magic questions to log in. Wow you must either know my password or some semi-private information about me to get into say my mortgage accounts or my retirement accounts. I would welcome an entity that would let me have a single login but customer service to reset my password. But I also will have to be convinced it is techologically sound to do that without handing out my info right and left.
Its a no brainer for me too. Both parties have screwed the economy with their agendas. Each side is afraid to attack the other's sacred cows when they come into office because of how the other side will paint them during elections. So you get a hodgepodge of bad policy on bad policy. It is too bad that even when it is obvious that they are being taken by both sides won't drop the party bandwagon and at least open the door for more parties. We hate the crooks in Washington, as long as it isn't our crook.
Unfortunately, at least currently, our public and free to some health care system is also bloodsucking. I doubt that would change even if it was the only kid on the block.
I think it is a bit overdone in many cases. I'm quite free with my personal information compared to some of my friends, but I think it might be a scary thing to provide my medical and genetic history anywhere it might be accessed by my insurance company. And that alone is a sad, sad thing.
Yes and that would be my second biggest gripe. When searching I would find 20 "correct" answers often one was the correct answer. When none of the "correct" answers worked for me then I would post on a forum. However the forums seemed to carry the same assumption you just assigned to me, that I didn't bother to search and hadn't just wasted multiple hours of my life searching for something that seemed to be trivial.
My troubles were Redhat and Mandrake, but I have been creeping towards changing an old xp box into a ubuntu box because we don't use it. I'm just looking for the free time.
Well like the grandparent my attempts at a switch to linux have also always ended in failure. The biggest failure of linux I ran into, however, is community attitude. Wherever I looked for answers on forums for technical issues, I always was met with vehement hostility. Everyone adopt Linux, where we hate all newbs.
No thanks. I have not had a single issue work or home that has not had to do with proprietary software that could not be solved in Windows as well as Linux.
But while representing a single state, he has proven he has the clout to hold sway over decisions affecting groups larger than his state. He is known to be a master of the pork-barrel and there are 49 states that have no say in his reelection that are affected by his actions. Maybe Alaskans don't want him now that he is a criminal, maybe they don't agree with the jury. We all know here, 10 people is hardly a useful survey sample.
The truely sad thing is that if he is reelected then he can serve. Forgetting there being no law against a felon holding office. Shouldn't there be some law to protect the American people from legislators who commit felonies relating to their position?

The good news about this stuff is it will eat what we won't, so we can still sell the food plus sell the husks, stalks, etc as biodiesel.

Do you want it today or after the Florida recount of the recount of the recount or after the resulting lawsuit against Florida is resolved?
That feature itself makes me consider buying through steam rather than buy a physical copy.

I was wondering who used Twitter.

Hope this clears things a bit.

I for one welcome our new cheap, Google-powered, android overlords.
Agreed and good luck ever getting an electric car in the US...

Don't you know anything? You can't win an election without handing out free cash. I mean congress even got a head start this year.
