We're talking about vegans here, though, and if they enjoy their breakfasts so much, why do they need fake eggs? What's wrong with their normal vegan breakfast that they have to eat fake animal protein?
They aren't making egg replacements to cater to vegans. Think of all of the processed food like mayo, cookies, etc. which contains eggs. If they can create a cheaper, effective replacement for eggs then it would reduce the demand for factory farm produced eggs (which is how a majority of all eggs are produced).
Having been to one of those factory farms... or rather, having been within olfactory range of one, I can't say I don't like the idea of obsoleting them.
I've always believed the phrase "freedom of the press" to mean freedom of the printing press, i.e. the right to disseminate information freely, rather than any particular group of people.
Does the UK have laws that protect freedom of the press?
Not to mention, even the research in the study is dubious at best, as they completely ignore the 'nurture' aspect of rearing offspring:
Part of the research involved testing the effect of stress on the genetics of mice. A number of mice were subjected to stressful situations and then allowed to raise their children. The children, when later subjected to stress, were more vulnerable to it than normal mice
So, then, was it a genetic anomoly passed down from the parents that cause the behavior, as the "researchers" hypothesis, or was the behavoir learned, i.e. the traumatized parents taught, either through intent or inadvertently, the offspring to react to certain things in certain ways?
used SDLT for years with almost no problems used disk to disk backup for a year as well. very nice except the PHB gets a heart attack every time you ask for more disk. at least for database backups been on LTO-4 for 4 years. tapes are cheap. its fairly fast. and haven't had any problems with data corruption or tapes breaking
looking at LTO-6 but the tapes are still fairly expensive
Hey, now, don't go mucking up a perfectly good Slashvertisement by pointing out how unnecessary the product being slashvertized might be!
Dunno about you, but my phone, laptop, tv, etc do not fall under Oxford's built into my body nor Merriam-Webster's contained in my body.
...And thank $deity for that; could you imagine such a thing, in today's world of proprietary hardware and software, not to mention planned obsolescence?
As I said before this hit the front page (how did such a stupid question manage that?), my advice is to stop wasting your time.
Regarding the line about potential payment (that was removed by editors before posting this to the main page), you can send me $50 worth of Litecoins via the wallet address at the bottom of my homepage, CanHasDIY.com.
Don't bitch; 50 bucks is a hell of a lot less than what my usual consulting fee runs. You're welcome.
Why couldn't they just MD5 the files for the actual game, to verify that they match with the official binaries? Seems a lot less intrusive, and less potential for abuse.
FWIW, it shouldn't matter what information I discover; what matters is what I do with it. Maybe I hack games, maybe I like to visit the sites that teach you how so I can understand what that means; either way, unless I'm using the knowledge I gained from game-hacking websites to.. er, well, hack Steam games, then IMO it's none of Gabe's fucking business what websites I visit, nor anyone elses.
So if they have classified evidence, they have to let the defense have it. Yes, they can have the trial in a closed environment and seal the transcripts, but this is not unfair.
Just keep on spinnin' those wheels, defending a state you know to be corrupt, dude.
I've always been a believer in the concept that you should never attribute to incompetence that which can be explained by greed and avarice.
You sound paranoid.
I am. But that's not to say my paranoia isn't justified; not sure why you say it like it's some kind of flaw.
I would say exactly the opposite applies to >90% of the population
>90% of the population doesn't have the power to manipulate health care costs; >90% aren't running this sideshow. I don't really care about their motivations, because it's not affecting me; the ones I do care about are the 10% who are in charge, and are very much greedy, avaricious fucks.
I see what's going on here: You apparently trust the US government 100% to be honest, fair, and to honor the Constitutional rights of her citizens, for whatever reason.
No, not always, but you *always* have redress in court when they don't.
Unless the evidence presented against him is "classified," and thus not available to the defense for scrutiny, thus violating his Sixth Amendment rights.
Which is definitely going to happen. But hey, let's keep pretending that the courts are fair and in no way biased towards judging in their own (i.e., the government's) favor.
I see what's going on here: You apparently trust the US government 100% to be honest, fair, and to honor the Constitutional rights of her citizens, for whatever reason.
I, on the other hand, have seen far too many abuses of said rights by the powers that be, not to mention the fact that there are entities in government who firmly believe that their job is to lie to the American people, to ever put even a modicum of trust into the feds.
That said, I doubt we'll ever achieve middle ground, and to be quite honest I have no intention of or desire to argue the point.
None of which will happen under the current government.
How on earth can you KNOW that he would be unfairly treated?
You mean, aside from the existence of Gitmo, the repeated threats of death from various US officials, and the treatment Bradley/Chelsea Manning received when he/she was suspected of whistle-blowing?
Do you have a right to an attorney in a constitution-free zone? Do you have any rights at all?
You know, the only reason "constutition-free zones" exist is because the people living there allow them.
So, to answer your question, I'd say "yes, so long as the other citizens around you are intelligent and brave enough to know and stand up for your/their own rights."
Because those making the leaks need to flee the country and take asylum elsewhere, or end up imprisoned for years.
It's not about the presence of the leaks, it's about the way that the government has persecuted the leakers, and the members of the press they went to.
First of all... IF Snowden is a LEAKER then, by definition and by virtue of the paperwork he signed the government has the right (if not the obligation) to haul his butt into criminal court and store his living carcass in jail for long periods of time. If convicted...
The government does NOT have a "right" to incarcerate a person indefinitely, without convicting them of a crime.
Conversely, Edward Snowden does have a right to a fair and free trial, to face his accusers and the evidence they present against him, and to be judged by a jury of his peers.
None of which will happen under the current government.
What the hell are you supposed to say to an obnoxious border guard who won't accept the legal, legitimate truth as an answer?
I'm really not sure about Britanland, but here in the US, the proper response would be "Am I under arrest? And if I'm not under arrest, for what reason am I being detained?" The more you know, the better you can respond to charges or accusations.
Or, there's the ever popular "Can I speak with your manager/supervisor?"
Also: "I refuse to answer any questions without my attorney present."
No problem; hey, maybe we can collaborate! Sure would beat sitting around my office jamming alone, and the prospect of actually making a few bucks off my musical abilities is rather enticing as well.

In order for this to be a *real* issue,
... and we come full circle, back to you insisting that the problems aren't "real" problems, and that the state is 100% fair and trustworthy.
Meaning this "conversation" is over. Good day.
"Transit zone" != "Constitution-Free Zone"
See here for map and details.
FYI, ~80% of Americans live in the Constitution-Free Zone.
It is the height of arrogance to think that US law applies OUTSIDE the sovereign territory of the USA.
That I agree with, like when our government takes it upon itself to extra-judicially murder an entire family during a wedding
'Cuz that's what you meant, right?
Really? You've *seen* this happen before? (and not on TV, in real life)

As I understand this, legally they have to disclose all evidence they have to the defense period.

So if they have classified evidence, they have to let the defense have it. Yes, they can have the trial in a closed environment and seal the transcripts, but this is not unfair.

Ah, the "my mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts" argument. Always nice when people are that open about it.
Tit-for-tat.
At least I'm not ignoring the reality of the world as it exists today, because it doesn't mesh up with my fixed ideology.
Of course, I could have been a real dick and answered his question with a question -
How on earth can you KNOW that he would be unfairly treated?
How do you know he won't?

Keeping the cost of it high seems to be.
That's an uninformed position.

Passenger treated like dirt by airport staff. News at 11!
It's news because she was being treated like dirt due to her association with a particular client. Dur.
