Being AC is one thing, but can you at least state where you are from? Liberal in Yurp doesn't mean the same as liberal in the Yousay. For example, the dominant liberal party in the Netherlands (VVD) is considered to be a rather rightwing party, much to the likings of the Democrats in the Yousay. And then I dont know about Asia and other places at all. Please enlighten us with your view of "liberal" and its defenition.
Not a bad idea actually. I really liked face2face feature in sneakernet. Going to a friend and get the latest CD on tape (some of my friends had 'auto-reverse'!) and then go - with the walkman playing my latest freshest copy - to other friends who copied the tape for themselves to their tape (some of those had 'doublespeed'!). Sit down and have a coffee, talk a little until the tape was done. Reverse both tapes. Have another coffee... Great times!
I wouldn't necessarily call it sneakernet though. I would call it a SOCIAL NETWORK!!
> Body disposal (at least legal body disposal) is expensive
We are talking ASTROnauts. If they dont return alive, there is a huge chance that they:
1 - shattered to a gazillion little peaces after an explosion
2 - landed crashbang on the moon, leaving them in several chunks on the surface of a celestial body that no one ever set foot on alive
3 - evaporated in the atmosphere on the return (basically that is an cremation with immediate scattering of the ashes paid for by the taxpayer)
So, I dont think that disposal is the main concern. The thing is that the wives and families lose income, and to make sure they wouldn't fall into poverty one would need a life insurance.
Yeah, I totally agree, regulation is bad. I mean, so far in 2012 (35 weeks old now) we barely had 24 bitcoin (related) stories. And only 9 of those in august alone, a month that is already 4 weeks old now. That is just over twice a week. Bad moderation systems (=regulation of course) is going rampant! http://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=bitcoin </sarcasm>

Just do it. Let them be part of it. That is how I explained it to a few friends, who are now vivid gamers (AD&D 2nd edition, there is no other IMHO). Just do it, let them play along, and explain the rules as you go. Help them out a bit, for example telling them what to throw and which dice is the 1d10. After a bit they will either understand or maybe even join, depending on their fantasie-skills, imagination and interest in the world you play in.
Well mister AC, it actually IS an anecdote. I shouldn't have to tell you that my post wasn't a academic dissertation do I? Again, no trolling intended.
An old employee of mine was Chinese, she was a international student and now again lives in China. I put forward this 'digital great wall of China' argument in an conversation, about it was killing free speech, democracy, human rights etc. She told told me that she just couldn't comprehend. She was living in the west now for about 3 years or so, enough to have a good taste of 'western values'. Her point was: <quote>The west has Muslims with their hatespeech towards jews, and all is well because they are a miority, but if the same thing is said by (white) neo-nazi's then suddenly it is wrong. The western politicians basically tell you what you can or cannot hear, and it is fine. But, the second OUR government decides that WE are not allowed to hear something, THEN it is all wrong. What kind of a double standard is that?<unquote> Then I tried to tell her that I dont want the government to get involved in freedom of speech AT ALL. One can disagree about something, but then lets agree to disagree. This was also strange to her, because: <quote>You chose those people to speak up for you right?? That is what you call democracy isn't it?<unquote> I dont want to start a flamewar here, just give it a thought, try to see it from their perspective. I felt almost felt sorry for her, being between hammer and anvil.
Yes, I think that shutting this down is going to be hard. Remember the days that one bought a CD from his allowance, and the rest of the friends copied it to tape, then from tape to tape (later we had doublespeed)... Now, that was about music, what will a government do if the kids start to print out their weapons, and find a way to manufacture the barrel and chamber and the other parts that need to be from metal? Governments, and especially the non freedom-loving ones (like in Yurp, most of Asia) see them lose the violence-monopoly... Its going to be a great time! Weapons on doublespeed!
Ask Slashdot: What would your I just got back from the international spacestation and I want to go back to my wife and friends plan look like? You are in Kazakhstan and the bus driving you from the Kosmodrome to Moscow got hijacked by Sart separatists from Tajikistan in a bid to recreate their own sovereign state. You dont speak any Russian, nor any Turkic language, but you master US-style signlanguage. All your money is in the US, and you proved not to be such a good 'survival expert' as you once thought. Your friends nor your wife who you just married can help you and you're in a space-suit. and no normal clothing around... Oh, and some jokes on physics are welcome. No McGuiver-is stuff please.:-)
No, what this looks like is... *I am a student 'scenario writing', do my homework* kind of question. I see a lot of those math-students on math forums as well, although this is the first scenario-writing-student-questions I've ever encountered though... I hope it wont become a trend. Before you know it you'll have deja-vu's watching TBBT and QI.
Sure, I do understand that Google is just another corporation trying to make money, and that it isn't some-kind of an philanthropical institution. Just as I know that an individual can choose to opt-out or leave. As well as I know that it isn't google who puts that sick stuff in the intertubes... But this is not your average guy plugging the cables in the servers and stuff... it is a VERY demanding job, and it would be nice to give the guy a free shrink-ride or something, in stead of just giving the boot. After all it is an Fortune500 company with a certain slogan right? Why not give the guy a break? What do you say huh?
So, basically you are saying (and please do correct me if am wrong) this:"Journalism is any free movement of information (not restricted by law) that pin's down the baddies (and is not fit to read if one is an Irish poet/writer).
1 - Contact a ship owner (that is a commercial entity) 2 - Have him make a 'contract' that makes you the contractor to do some work for him off-shore (US in this case) make him a nice deal:-) 3 - Mention your new status to the airline company and tell them that you need to carry around more KG of luggage on your return-flight (due to equipment and spare parts) and show them your contract with a stamp on it, as a maritime/off-shore contractor. 4 - Get an extra allowance for free! (depending on the airline company, KLM and SwissAir have that I believe)
Reason that they do this 'little extra' is because people in the maritime/off-shore sector fly a lot, so they will pay it back after all, and usually their equipment is slightly heavier than a laptop. Bitching about some KG more or less would make you lose that customer.
- - - Disclaimer... I am out of the off-shore business for a couple of years now, but I think this might still be an option - - -
I was about to ask if it is about the high prices, or because of lower income/less purchase power. But with this simple example you just made that redundant. Actually, if any moderator would score this 'redundant' I won't be mad. Honestly, I won't;-)
I do agree with you, if you mean that he shouldn't be put on trail for disclosing information unfavourable for a certain party. And I also understand that putting intelligent statements in 1liners is difficult. That is both a weakness and a strength in the US, and especially for politicians/((anti)gun-)lobbyists/the lot. But could you please be so kind as to disclose *your* definition of "Journalism"? Please forgive my boldness as to enquire, I am just curious.
Minor detail, he actually DID use a condom, but it ripped. Can happen right? In the Swedish jurisdiction this equals rape... Which in it self is ironic: Accidentally rip a condom = rape (+ extradition to a place with death-sentence in this case) v.s. kill 74 people and in 18 years you'll be out on the streets again. Weird is the first word that comes to my mind.
I write to you because you are a decent person, and I need your help. My father was the minister of agriculture before the civil war broke out. In the civil war, jihadists where after the money my father had secured for building a dam. This money...
