Why the acid trip Alice in wonderland analogy? Does it convey additional information about what they're doing, or is it just obfuscating what they're doing. I vote obfuscation, but it might just over my head right now. Stupid, grinning cat with no head.
If it was just random peoples opinions then there wouldn't be much of a problem. But Yelp is serving a function as a Mob Ruled Psudo Court. They only go after business, and punishment is served by the mob choosing not to frequent a business based on the testimony of anonymous users. Your suggestion that the comments could actually be Yelp itself only reinforces the reasoning behind the 6th amendment in the first place.
I seem to recall a story about some place in Russia that just had to simulate a "worst case" scenario. Something about the machines safe guards to prevent the very scenario they were trying to cause forced them to dismantle a significant portion. I think something important happened. Maybe one of these researches could look it up, and explain why this isn't a similar stupid procedure.
I want Killer Robots that Kill only Killer Robots. Having an army of Killer Robots that kill people is just asking some to run the "kill all humans" command while logged in as root in the All Countries Directory on accident, or on purpose by an anarchist wanting a lot of death.
It's the Navy that's doing the current experiment, and NASA that didn't get very far. Your article doesn't even cover any positive results worth reporting. They expected 15 to 20 percent success rate, but do you notice the lack of a follow up report? That was back in July of 2012. How much was actually successful. How many careers did they actually salvage? Why if this was all so successful have them moved onto an experimental Jell and Mist? I know why they keep trying because the Navy and NASA have jobs the put people in situations that cause Motion Sickness, but the rift is an optional leisure activity. It's not worth the drugs needed to suppress the symptoms, and there are too few people who have zero side effects.
Most people have experienced motion sickness. You are mistaking the most sever cases as the only occurrences. Most people like myself stop doing the activity when it sets in. It only takes a few minutes once you stop the car, turn off the TV, or just look at the horizon.
Show me actual experimental results. Your link actually states -
The experiments didn't get too far, in part because the training required making astronauts sick enough on rotating chair tests so they could learn to master their body's responses.
When your only successes are people who's careers depend on being able to "handle" the situation your going to get slightly different results. I can certainly force vomit back down my own throat if I had to. It doesn't mean I've overcome it. Just that I'm tolerating the discomfort.
There is no training to "overcome" motion sickness. The arrogance, and lack of understanding of the problem is going to make the vomit helmets so much fun to watch. There is a genetic predisposition to get past motion sickness which is why British tend to handle it better, and Asians tend not to. Ballerinas technically "adapt" to the spin that normally causes motion sickness, but it's just a trick. They learn to lock their eyes on a distant object though a portion of the spin. You screw up the trick and you get a dizzy ballerina. Which is why you always see a Ballerina keep they head locked in one position and quickly whip it around. The same trick is for sailors. Just look at the horizon for a bit and the brain will regain it's balance. Not possible on a Sub though underway, and it's not possible if your not able to see the real horizon like with the Oculus Rift. You can take your dramamine, but personally I don't like being drowsy when I play games. You can get lucky and be British and not have a sever case of motion sickness. Or you can avoid things that make you sick like the rest of us.
A lot of the older Atari era games are far too solo, and don't allow for family bonding. Back when I was a kid this was done with board games, but there's no reason why Mario can't do the exact same thing. It doesn't really matter if it's a Video Game, or just playing Catch. As long the Video Games aren't being used as a baby sitter, and the game helps the family communicate. My daughters current baby sitter is her grand pa, jinga blocks, and Japanese educational tv programming. Video games are still a few years off.
It was a standard parabolic bubble. It's happened three times with bitcoins now, and they always have a 40 to 60 percent drop when they pop followed by a random walk as they deflate. The 3rd one just happened to occur just as the second finished its random walk, and China just had to be the last to say anything about bitcoin before it poped. These will just keep getting close, and closer until the fun begins. My bet is the next one in 3 months, then a month, followed by... fun. Who would have thought that one of these with the modern era of communication, and education would still be possible. But I guess without a modern example with that perfect bitcoin transaction log to watch it all go down it was probably inevitable to happen at least one more time.
Really? The NSA is what it is because we didn't want the CIA with that power. All you're suggesting is infinite recursion on the creation of spy agencies.
You know, it's probably just as easy to post anonymously and put in some politicians email. Really, who posts anonymously and uses their real email address.
There are parts of the bible that are highly pornographic, and if the Police arrested anyone over handing it out there would be an immediate backlash from it. Written speech is what has the most protection. Music is censored for profanity, and not for content otherwise "Caress me Down" would be banned for a highly graphic description of sex. It's played fairly regularly on one music station in Conservative Idaho so sex isn't as big of a deal when dealing with Music. None of the art galleries have been burned for having full nudes, or depictions of Roman debauchery. Last I checked minors were allowed in, and there has been no issue with the Police. However, things like Hustler and Playboy would cause an issue. The intent and market for Porn is sexual gratification, and where we draw the line with that has more to do with the culturally accepted age of consent. If you think that the US position on Porn is strange just go take a Hustler down to the Red Light districts in Japan. Most US porn is illegal in countries like Japan that somehow are able to accept much more extreme porn culturally, but show too much of one thing or another and it's illegal for even adults.
Someone failed to get the Alice-In-Wonderland-Opium-Wars-World-History reference. As much as you may want to believe that you can just do away with prohibition on "taboo" things and we'll all go to a Winter Cokefilled Land the truth is far worse. Some drugs have been literally been used to destroy countries, and before we just say open the gates of ecstasy lets think about the consequences of the past.
Tolkien didn't die before he could complete it. Tolkien stopped because it wasn't the hobbit anymore. It wasn't a good direction for the original story. Tolkien ABANDONED it well before he died.
If we're arguing about places like Middle of Nowhere Northern Idaho not having broadband then yes it's too big. The terrain is too obtuse to put Phone Lines, or Cable Lines out to every little place. Every town or City, sure. Every farm, ranch, or cabin? Not happening.
Passing an Amendment is difficult enough, and you want to repeal the First Amendment. As bad as Lobbying sounds not having the law that allows Lobbying to occur would be much much worse.
There there little buddy. Correlation doesn't equal causation. The iCult has little to do with what you're seeing. Quarter by Quarter sales and major events show's clearly what happened. For the US there isn't and really hasn't been an issue when you compare the DS to 3DS. Both for the americas has a launch starting at 1.3 million for their first quarters. Going to quarter 10 the DS was at 11.74M vs the 3DS at 10.6M. Very close and much of the difference can be attributed to different start times. The DS has an extra Christmas in there that the 3DS does not. When you look at world wide sales you're dealing with 32.5M 3DS sales vs 40M DS sales, and ALL of that is attributed to the DS having One extra Christmas in its column. The 3DS is walking the exact same sales pattern that the DS walked and if the iCult was sucking off the sales then it wouldn't be walking that exact same path. As a note Christmas is just as big if not bigger for Japan sales.

I seem to recall a right somewhere.. what was it... Something about the right to confront ones own accusers. Must be some communist or European thing.

What do you expect when hubris is considered a virtue?

They'll just be ignored by people citing the anti-HD arguments were wrong. There is no rationalizing with mania.

I'm not even sure if my Motherboard will accept a Floppy drive, or do I have to go looking to see if anyone makes SATA floppy drives.
Just a recursive one.

Yes, lets repeat the energy deregulation that California did. That worked out great for everyone didn't it?
