The customs agent didn't ask about his criminal record.
The Federal Police Officer did, you know the one who was investigating the leaking of some documents. Bringing up the criminal record of someone you are investigating is pretty damn normal.
The man is clearly a fuckwit who wants to big note himself. Seriously someone looked over his passport because it was showing wear and tear and reminded him it was going to expire soon and that's taking away your passport? A police officer does he job on the same day and that's a huge conspiracy?
microbes also eat the dispersant chemicals. And yes the massive increase in accessible oil causes the ones that eat oil to go nuts and use up all the oxygen.
Except it isn't that they are on while you are sleeping, it's that you use them as you are about to sleep.
Instead of reading a book before you turn off the reading lamp and go to sleep, you're holding an iPad a few inches from your eyes before turning it off and going to sleep.
That relief well is the only solution they have that will work.
Everything else is just for show, since doing nothing for the months that will take is not something the public will accept.
So they are doing all the things they know will fail just so it looks like they are doing something (other than the something that is the fix, but is slow wqhich they are quietly going about).
Of course one of those hail marys might stick, you never know. I'd need really good odds to put money on it though.
You state people assume he is a brat. Hence he likely acts like a brat, otherwise it seem unlikely people would assume that. Of course everyone might be wrong hence the "likely".
While autism does not necessarily mean the person has an IQ in the mentally retarded range, it does mean they are "relatively slow in mental or emotional or physical development" and hence retarded. Note retarded != mentally retarded and retarded != stupid.
Actually now that I think about it, it was an NCIS episode: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903471/ though when the car tries to kill you it's not just a hunch I guess...
The bad guy thought he'd committed the perfect crime, little did he know that someone on the CSI team would have hunch to check the firmware in the car and find the nefarious code snippet.
He is retarded, and likely is a brat too. Of course once you realize he is actually retarded the brat label usually goes away since you have a more precise one to use.
Wow, way to miss point and be an idiot at the same time.
You must get really pissed off when people show off their computer programs that do natural language processing. I mean a 6 year old do better, and we manage to teach almost anyone to do it without difficulty much better than the stupid computer can.
Or their little robots doing stuff with video recognition in order to recognize and move blocks around - I mean toddlers can do that!
They own the parts you wrote as an employee of theirs. They don't own the parts you wrote before being an employee of theirs - though have fun proving which parts are which...
No you can't publish the source code that they own or release it under the GPL. If they distribute it then they will need to in order to comply with the license of those libraries and of the portion you wrote before being their employee (though I can see an argument that since you used that code in your work for them you gave them a license to use it as they see fit, not sure if that would fly though). They might never distribute it though.
Yes, IANAL. Yes, trusting me for legal advice would be really stupid. Yes, those are just my opinions and understandings of how these things work.
80% isn't party voting. Has there ever been a congress in which *every* Democrat voted one way, and *every* Republican voted the other way on every vote?
I'm guessing the UK is like Australia (I may be wrong on that of course) in which case it's 100%. *Nobody* votes against the party line, if they do they can kiss party membership good-bye. Aside from the occasional "conscience vote", which really just means its an issue that the party doesn't want to take a side on since either way would alienate a large portion of their voters.
Well you do get the occasional floor crosser in the Senate Barnaby Joyce has made a habit of it - though no one had in the 20 years before he first did. Of course "habit" means 19 times in 5 years.
and secondly degrading to society, who turn sex into the end-goal of life.
Sex is the end-goal of life.
Well reproduction is, but the sex part is pretty damn essential step.
first degrading to women, who are turned into sex objects simply to be used for pleasure
Whereas I think religion is degrading to all people, who are turned into idiots who believe in ridiculous fairy tails and rejoice in being slaves. But I don't try and stop churches from being easily identifiable as churches, and I don't want to try and ban people from believing in their magic stories.
To posting is beneficial when someone new to the chain (or someone without perfect memory) wants to catch up with the history.
You can read every email in the chain without it being chopped into pieces with bits removed.
Sure you mightn't find that useful, and whether the cost of *all* the messages being top posted is worth it for the few that ever need it. But it's a real benefit for lots of people.
I don't disagree, but if you are going to put up a story on it at least find one written by someone with just a little less bias.
I'm sure there are lots, since it's a pretty obvious fact that you get more bang for your buck (and maybe more importantly for your power) from more less powerful units in parallel than fewer big units. Well if the programmers would get with the damn program, anyway. Someone not writing PR for a GPU company must have written one...
Guy at company that does nothing but parallel processing says that parallel processing is the way to go.
Moore's law has to stop at some point. It's an exponential function after all. Currently we are at in the 10^6 range (2,000,000 or so), our lower estimates for atoms in the universe are 10^80.
(80 - 6) * (log(10)/log(2)) = 246.
So clearly we are going to reach some issues with this doubling thing in sometime in the next 246 more doubles...

You found a US immigration agent with a sense of humor?
You truly have great talent.

No one mentioned the EU. except you.
Or are you claiming that London isn't in Europe?
Whereas being drunk makes photo editing so much better.

The articles compares this to a prophecy in the bible. I think you can work out which basket the whole article goes in just based on that snippet.
Don't let that pesky little bit about it being impossible to do hold you back.

Yes, IANAL. Yes, trusting me for legal advice would be really stupid. Yes, those are just my opinions and understandings of how these things work.
If that was the aim, then yes it would be a joke.
But that's not what they are trying to do and hence completely irrelevant.
That's going to add water vapor to the air, I suspect they aren't aiming for water vapor but for particles to act as cloud condensation nuclei.
That's a great "about me" page:
"somewhat moderate on social issues" followed by listing a bunch of social issues that they are extremely conservative about.
80% isn't party voting. Has there ever been a congress in which *every* Democrat voted one way, and *every* Republican voted the other way on every vote?
And it's higher than 80% too, it's 90% in the house http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/house/party-voters/ which outweighs the senate at 80% by sheer numbers http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/senate/party-voters/

I don't think anyone in the US congress votes "99.999%" with one of the parties, given that the parties don't vote as one very often anyway.

I don't care about AI (he says ignoring that his PhD dissertation was in the fringe of god-damn-AI)...
I actually do agree with his fundamental claim, doesn't change that you need to find someone else to say it for an article that isn't just PR.
I don't disagree, but if you are going to put up a story on it at least find one written by someone with just a little less bias.
