The vast majority of discarded foodstuffs being proportioned to cattle feed would not help in the malnutrition department what-so-ever by giving it to humans. Drastically reducing one food source (cattle and all the products that are produced from them) also will not help those suffering from malnutrition, in fact you can make a case that it would only lead to more overall.
Didn't bother to go read your 6 year old post, but I disagree on your last point in the parent. There very well could be another "Hitler" in the near future but he's going to be a religious fanatic bent on completely eliminating a competing sect/religion. Think Iran/Israel or any of the other dozens of groups who have a competing antithesis to their stance. Wouldn't shock me at all to see one of those groups to get their hands on the ability to completely wipe out their opposition and actually do it.
That isn't putting someone in office or determining a bond proposal or your stance on legal prostitution or how you feel about legalized marijuana. The worrying aspect about being identified with your votes on issues isn't that you are found out to be a dirty Democrat or a mentally challenged Republican...or worse yet, a no-good 3rd party voter. It's when you are classified as something simply based on your votes. If you think that some group somewhere won't compile all the data matching the barcode and voter id into a database somewhere you are just naive. There is always an opportunist (or government agency) wanting to know a little more about you in order to see you something or restrict your behavior.
The judge probably is right in her statement that it isn't written into the Constitution, but wrong in her decision. It has become a fundamental right by convention of it have always been the case. For a couple hundred years it was not only assumed your ballot was secret but the whole voting process was designed for it to be so from the voting stations to concealing your ballot afterwards. If being able to remove yourself from being associated with that ballot isn't important then you might as well stream line the whole voting process, remove the enclosed stations and set up an assembly line voting process without the false pretense of having your decision of who to vote for being personal.
Functionality loses out to brand name so often when it comes to the gadgets they buy it's ridiculous. It's all about having the newest, shiniest, most expensive toy to flip out in front of the loser next to you in order to prove your one of the cool kids. Damn to hell you other peons and your more robust gadget...mine's prettier and cost more!
It comes down to personal perception more than the law. EA is the big bad guy on the block, Zynga is the family friendly buddy on facebook. There are no good guys here though, both are greedy thieves who would rob you blind in a moment if they could do so legally.
Welcome to the business of studio game development/publishing. Thank god for indies.
It's too bad this guy went down the conspiracy and lies route...he could have been on hell of a speaker for a legitimate (i.e., not made up in his own head) movement.
The solutions starts with the patent approval process. There needs to be a vast overhaul in what goes on there. All you need to do is come up with a fancy diagram and jargon to describe something that has been in use forever, get a patent on it, sue everyone.
How the hell are you, or any other nation that doesn't get it on day 0, slighted in the least? It's a simple matter of logistics and supply. They are in it for the money in the long run after all. If they could hand deliver one to every household in the world the minute of release and make money doing so you can be pretty damn sure they would. There are always shortages in supply on release of the consoles, and it isn't done purposely as it only decreases potential sales. It is directly related to how many the can produce by a given time.
Don't say they should wait a week then to deliver all of them..again, it's logistics. What you are proposing simply isn't sound business sense...which is what it is all about after all.
This shit is just beyond crazy...First off, nobody in the US would even know this stupid movie exists if it wasn't for these extremist fairy tale worshipers..Second, seriously?? going around and killing people because they share the same nation as some other d-bag? If that is the case we might as well exterminate the entire human race right now because there are d-bags everywhere. Finally, Grow the fuck up and learn a little tolerance for others beliefs or lack there off. How many religions are there in the world? and obviously each and every one of them is the ONLY right religion....so learn to deal with it like responsible members of the human race...where is another great plague, great flood or meteorite when you need one.
That's about all it's worth. It was the first engine I ever used in-depth nearly a decade ago. I then found Unity 3d several years ago and that was a true game changer. I will take a look at it again since it is being open sourced but I can't imagine ever using it for more than the educational value of knowing how they did certain things.
I'm old enough that SSN were our student number in college, it was on my college ID, my dinner card, all my papers that meant anything. When I got out it was my employee number at General Motors. My SSN has been public info for as long as I can remember and have never had my identity stolen.
I agree with the rest though.
I've never been a fan of requiring internet service to play a single player game, However I am ALL FOR the banning of botters and cheaters....they have ruined games (some more than others) that have any online element as far back as UO. Before as well but UO was one of the first games it could have any large scale impact on. Where there is a way for a profit there will always be those that exploit it to the determent of everyone else. Every one of those accounts that they ban brings a smile to my face.
Ah I see...a card carrying member of the the "Macs are virus free" club. I somewhat agree with you until that line I quoted. Pluck a number out of the air and write an equation that predicts the number of Mac users that still adhere to the idea that Macs can't/won't get attacked by viruses...it's still absurdly high. As an example I asked 4 people I know who have Macs about their virus protection and 3 of them insist there is no need. Not that 3/4's of Mac users still believe that but way too many still do.
As mentioned above, complacency is the problem.
"This case has never been about proving an endgame and we may never know what his intentions were, but when you have significant evidence of how to make explosive devices and pricing lists for weapons, we had to act quickly."
Ok...I am all about stopping terrorism and providing for safety from things the average person isn't prepared to deal with HOWEVER...this is just ridiculous...they even basically say We have no case, don't know what he wanted to do BUT...throw him in prison! Where in the hell have the liberties gone from the once free countries around the world? Oh that's right, they don't exist anymore
I have had nothing but a NIGHTMARE with sound in Ubuntu forcing me to go through hell to find the problem at each upgrade. And each upgrade from 8.04 (to 8.10 and now 9.04) have caused me to have to figure out why I get NO SOUND each time. Unfortunately each of the 3 versions caused a different problem so it wasn't as simple as just replicating what I did previously to resolve the issue.
Yeah because a guy who wants to breed giant rabbits to end hunger, shot 38 under par in one round of golf hitting several hole-in-ones in his first attempt ever, kidnapped the South's top Actress and Director who made an even better reality show with a car chase through Vienna to escape, despises everyone taller than him (so pretty much everyone who has made it through Kindergarten), made rainbows spontaneously appear upon his birth, doesn't piss or shit, made the entire country quit smoking because he had to..well you get the idea...needs any help looking crazy!;-)
Just sayin;-)
That is the fault of the student however. No amount of coursework is going to make you master any particular language. Any serious CS student should be programming on their own because they like too and that is what will lead to mastering said language.

Maybe there are access logs for the FTP so the damage can be assessed.

No, it doesn't mean it isn't good. You do realize it was once a furtile, lush landscape right? Just Earth doing what Earth does.

Seriously - don't give it the press.

I don't see one reference to Oregon Trail anywhere. Surely that would be a modern age scenario if the game was made today
Gonna be getting a whole lot of porn adverts in my home
