But maybe to someone who has been alive for a 2000 years, going into a 200 year sleep knowing that i they do survive the trips the people they know will all still be alive if they decide to make the return trip.
Maybe risks become more enjoyable when you will for essentially ever if you avoid accidents?
I wasn't claiming any of my statement were facts, just possibilities. It's so far outside our experience we won't know until (well there's an if there somewhere) we get close to it.
I personally find the idea of "eternal life" as presented in Christian style religions horrifying. Given the stats on religions I'm clearly in the minority there, and it is so far outside what I can understand I'm probably mistaken. I just doubt we can make accurate predictions of what the mental reactions to such lifespans would be.
Or the resulting wars for resources would see governments create policies that make China's one child policy look libertarian.
Or massive lifespans would spur expansion into space - now people will survive to see the results and a 200 year journey is just a minor footnote in your life.
Or the drive to have children would be "fixed" as the same time "aging" is fixed. Or that would automatically as people just keep putting it off (which is as you almost said what is happening in the western countries now - people are having their children later and later, what would they do if they knew they could have their first child with no complications due to age/etc in 500 years time?).
Basically we don't know what would happen. It is so far outside out experience with life that it is all guesswork.
Maybe, but "curing" aging means fixing those genetic and physical weat-and-tear issues. Mental is another story, but who knows maybe massively extended lifespans makes people less cautious. Since we don't have them we don't know.
And of course there's a cure for entropy. Humans are not closed systems after all. Heck the heat pump in my house "cures" entropy.
More cautious makes sense - you have more to lose dieing early, you have more to lose by losing your wealth, etc. Then again you've already lived a long time, maybe you consider it worth taking more risks just for the excitement value, maybe knowing you have huge amounts of time to make up that lost wealth makes risk taking more attractive?
Maybe centuries of wisdom more than compensates for whatever youth brings.
Aspercians are fine if you don't fire the first shot.
In fact their fine when you do too - they just come with some baggage in that case, which isn't usually a problem since usually that's part of the intent.
Ans the simple answer to the question is: "it doesn't interest me enough to do so" or "I make more money doing other things" or a bunch of other equally valid reasons.
But instead you interpret it as a qurstion of your capabilities? I guess that says more than a real answer.
You just gave two examples of what they could do that would fall short nuking from orbit, so no they are not required to nuke from orbit as step one.
Yes they have to remove access to the content. Yes disabling the entire account is probably the simplest way for them to do that. But you can instead choose a provider that uses a more precise method which is more work for them but less damaging to you.
If you don't want your site pulled down due to a DMCA notice, then don't use other people's content without permission. It's that simple.
And don't use godaddy, pick somewhere that doesn't use nuke from orbit as the first step since mistakes do happen (both by the site owners and by the dmca filers)
Did you just not see the "peer review and editing can be done by professors at universities " part what you are replying to?
The basic model of journals (not all use it of course) is:
* Papers are submitted with no payment to the authors. * Papers are sent for review to experts - usually university professors (who often then oass it to their doctorate students) - with no payment to the reviewers. * The journal then prints the accepted papers and sells them to the very places that both supplies the work and the reviewers for free.
Now there is a bunch of administration work the journal does, but we have computers these days, and universities already have a bunch of admin staff.
The return the reviewers/submitters get is the prestige of being published in a respected journal and of being a reviewer/editor for a respected journal. The same thing would apply if the journals stopped being money siphoning devices.
The main issue is certain journals are prestigious now and that takes time to change. If you have what you believe is a great piece of research now, where are you going to submit it? The prestigious journal that looks great on your list of publications and likely pulls in more grant money but that charges a fortune to libraries to buy it? Or that new relatively unknown journal that sells to libraries at cost (electronic copy free)?
Hopefully the newer fields can get the ball rolling since they don't have as much of the existing prestige problem.
Following the shutdown, Mayor Roque used the messages retrieved from the compromised accounts to identify the people who ran and supported it. On February 9, he used his iPhone to call the Hudson County (New Jersey) government official, identified in the criminal complaint as Victim 1, who had anonymously established the recall website. The older Roque then claimed to have proof that the official was involved with the site.
"Mayor Roque stated that he, the Mayor, had a friend in high levels of government who had shut the Recall Website down," the complaint alleged. "According to Victim 1, Mayor Roque stated that everyone would pay for getting involved against him."
is even worse.
When "hack" someone's registrar account and remove one of their domains to take down their website it's probably best not to look up who they are in the registrar records you now have access to and then call them to gloat^Wconfess.
Because psychosis is a common side effect with hip replacements these days.
It's a game mechanic, and a pretty bad one at that, to try and prevent players from getting every cybernetic enhancement available. Not a comment on reality.
Because someone is shitty person doesn't mean they are a shitty teacher.
I had a creationist nutjob for a science teacher back in high school - we did the bare minimum for the evolution part of the curriculum, the read the text book while I twiddle my thumbs approach. However, he taught me mechanics and electromagnetism very well.
And anyway are you sure she's doing a shitty job? Maybe that's exactly what her employer wants her to do?
Having everything on the same clock seems far better than having things on their own out of sync clocks.
Sure that one device says it did something at 1:15pm doesn't mean it actually did, but if another device says the current time is 2:15pm then it was an hour ago since they are both out of sync with the actual time by the same factor.
And of course whenever there's some sort of external check (a nurse looking at their watch) then to fix the device all the devices get fixed rather than just that one. So your NTP server is more likely to stay in sync with reality than any one device.
If the heavy users turned into light users then rates would go down (or more likely profits up).
If the heavy users disappeared entirely then rates might go up or down - it depends on what the fixed and per-user costs are.
If every user of the ISP kept paying their current rates but didn't actually use the internet at all would the profits increase or decrease for the ISP?
It has nothing to do with the college not voting the way the population tells it (though it can do that, it hasn't happened recently).
In fact it's *exactly* the same mechanism that Canada, the Prime Minister isn't from the party that won the "popular vote", they are from the party that won the most of the seats (let's ignore minority governments and coalitions for the moment and majorities versus pluralities and so on).
Just like in the US the President isn't the guy who won the "popular vote", it's the guy who won the most electoral college votes.
So in Canada if you win the seats you won by very close margins, but the seats you lost you lost by large margins then the Prime Minister can be from a party that did not win the "popular vote".
In the US if you win the states with higher electoral votes:population ratios you can win without winning the "popular vote".
Sure, you don't have to like it. But it's a very common idea that is used in a lot of places.
That's metering by time which is completely different than metering by traffic. Batching uploads/downloads makes no difference when it's bytes transferred that is being billed.

Sure for you.

of course not.

If it is that easy why aren't you doing it?
No, it would be the equivalent of a comunity bank saying they lost everyone's information.
Suing a person who has no involvement just because they have money clearly qualifies as douchebaggery.
You just gave two examples of what they could do that would fall short nuking from orbit, so no they are not required to nuke from orbit as step one.

If that's where it is going it is taking the long way round.

Garbage men have a fatality rate of 30 per 100,000 according to http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/pf/jobs/1108/gallery.dangerous_jobs/8.html
Law enforcement has a fatality rate of 14 per 100,000 according to http://www.bls.gov/opub/cwc/archive/summer1999art1.pdf
Different years, but police fatality rates haven't more than doubled in ten years.
http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/cfch0009.pdf has farmers/ranchers at 42 per 100,000
And http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2010/news/1004/gallery.Most_dangerous_jobs/10.html has taxi drivers at 19 per 100,000.
So out of farmers, garbage men, taxi drivers, and police the police have the safest (in terms of not getting killed) job.

I was going to mention that but figured it is so insignificnat with respect to modern data usage as to be pointless.
Having everything on the same clock seems far better than having things on their own out of sync clocks.

So do pigs, geese, and crickets. Yet eating them is fine (well unless you are Jewish/etc).
How is eating dogs morally different from eating cows or pig or salmon?
Heck, dogs are the go to meat/bones supply for my fortresses of dwarfs.
