You can try this [google.com] tool to check your existing DNS for performance and behaviour. Google's is very well behaved by the way, so please don't spread FUD.
"I wouldn't trust Google" isn't FUD, it's common sense. Remember that you are not Google's customer. You are Google's product.
I do trust them; including trusting them to data mine the f**k out of everything since I'm a resource to them like you say not their client. I do however have split IDs so limit what I share and don't contaminate either. Even for the machine I use some of their services on I use another DNS (opendns), noscript/ghostery/flashcookie control blah blah all in palemoon. For stuff I'd rather not share it's all VPN and Tor with the unix browser bundle and zero google services. Even with the limit set on the google use machines it is amazing how accurate they profile me; I occasionally disable adblock etc to find they have ads for hobbies or recently purchased things etc based on the stuff I shared, if anything my approach cuts out the noise and makes me a more accurate profile but again none of the stuff I don't want linked is in that that I've seen and I'm happy to do what I have in return for "free" services in return for such details.
what about users like myself who switch between mouse and graphic tablet use on particular day depending on workflow. When I have lots of illustration or retouch work that day I tend to do a lot with graphic pen but prefer switching to mouse for other tasks such as mail and web browsing, gaming whatever. Also with graphic pen in hand I type differently too as I don't put the pen down so do more with left hand and single finger stabs on the right unlike mouse use where I use more fingers on the right.
Many around me do similar things, not just graphic tablet/mouse but stuff like switching up pointing stick/touch pad on thinkpad, mouse/trackball, mouse/touchpad and so on and some I know use more than one mouse since they prefer different button actuation force/ergonomics/weight between different stuff such as gaming and other stuff one one machine.
Seems a silly way of locking machines to me. Sure I've seen the code fob in keyboard thing you have to pull when leave terminal fall down as people can't be arsed removing it when leaving it unattended near members of public for under 1min but plenty of other existing ways which are efficient with less room for error and more flexible than this idea yet require just as little input if any when user walks away for a moment to lock it.
Obama has castrated the military by letting in faggots. I'm surprised they slept without chastity belts on what with the fanny bandits now allowed to publicly flaunt their perverted lifestyle.
While I hate to dissapoint you, gays were in the military long before Obama took office.
Also he is confusing gays with rapists by the sound of it. I can honestly say I've never been raped by gay nor straight friends or colleagues when I've fallen asleep around them. It's not sexuality preference that makes people into sex offenders jeez, secondly plenty of fellas been raped by otherwise "straight" men as happens a lot here for instance in UK organised drug and crime scene as a power and shaming thing.
So long as your bike looks like shit it should not get stolen. I once had a $300 bike I rolled out of Target and it was gone in less than a week. I got a beater to replace it that looked like shit, hard forks and tail, frame scratched and covered in dirt, mismatched tires and rims, etc. Little do they know the "beater", even with it's mismatched wheels and paint ground off an "aluminum" frame is worth $1,200. I've had it for years now, and I don't even lock it at this point.
Make everyone think it;s a worthless old huffy at first glance
some know trust me, I peeled decals off and on rides home covered in mud I'll still get the odd groups of teenagers name the exact part to each other and shout "sick bike mate" to me. I also know someone who sprayed their frame matt black and made it look junk and they still named the exact model. Thieves and like know what they are looking for. I simply don't leave my bike anywhere it's guaranteed to get nicked. Even my decent D lock and cabled for wheels are poppable with folding cutters and a mini bottle jack which a lot of thieves have on them when scouting.
Problem is expensive components and frame have unique tubing shapes and geometry, good weld patterns and so on. To modify everything is impractical and also adds more weight, eg. to make formula brake calipers and levers look none recognisable you'd need to add a serious amount of epoxy putty r something on and it'd be hard due to keeping access to pads clear, same for all bolts locations and so on.
ah I'll look into doing that since I've been meaning to register it since close friend who cycles professionally had 3 stolen from her house in a row. Hard to hide it when people know you cycle and correctly assume you have expensive bike. My advice was to put a shotgun shell in a shim inside the seatpost and a piece of wood with crude firing pin stuck in it. Loosen the collar so it slips suddenly under full seated weight and byebye bike thief rectum. Of course I was joking but now I think about it;)
The UK police have regular bike registering events where you can take your bike and register it for free, otherwise the service is commercial and costs money ( http://www.bikeregister.com/ ).
Wiggle.co.uk simply put the serial number on the new bike check list which came with the bike, so all the customer has do do is keep that list, Can't say if other bike merchants do the same.
problem is custom builds as you can't register all the serials of every part. My heavyduty XC is a self build and the brakes alone cost more than a lot of frames, it's a high end frame and my BB and crank alone is £180. I hand picked everything right down to proper heat-treated steel bolts and the type of grease in different parts and most those parts are sought after. Even the partially worn chainrings are still saleable since they are the 7005 blackspire 5 arms on an adaptable spider (takes any rings with right spder change) and ony the weaker 4 arm are common these days. I noticed as always on the lookout to get deals on the 5 arms as I prefer the strength and don't want to swap to the 4's and know the 2nd hand ones sell pretty well.
desomorphine isn't so bad if you purify it, or at least take a lot of the crap out like alkanes it's often cooked in. Krokodil is bad due to the lack of purifying step, I first heard of it a year ago but deso has been used in likes of Australia due to heroin shortages for much longer just not in such a dirty form hence lack of necrosis associated with it now.
My degree was in biochem but even I know enough drug purification techniques to separate enough of the desomorphine from the crap and generally it wouldn't be so bad for you even IV, so i'm surprised no-one street level has figured out something similar. I mean even cynical view the customers live longer you sell more. The active ingredients are fine in right does, the impurities downright nasty and some of the adulterants/deliriants are not so great for the body such as the eye drops it's mixed with.
Some adulterants are not so bad in opiates such as diphenhydramine (1st gen antihistamine to make it dreamy feeling) and benzos etc although much of the heroin and opiates knocking around on the street has too much shit like that in hence many users I know say the nod off it is shit but alright legs (duration of the hit). Obviously stuff like temazepam mixed in also cuts the craving somewhat and is noddy still so means you can drop the amount of actual gear in the mix. Some of the bulking agents are ok like lactose but some is downright shitty to cut with, there are always some too. Recent outbreak around city centre where i live of heroin with suboxone in (the buprenorphine is fine but the naloxone causes major issues when injected and has killed or hospitalised a few local addicts and a lot of outreach workers I know are warning about the batch).
Tesla's 18650 cells are different than the cells you see on Amazon. For one thing, they do not have the protection circuits built in. The protection circuit is for each group of cells in the pack. Second, they lack the bump on the positive terminal since a wire is welded to the positive terminal. Tesla has done a lot with the cell design to minimize the cost. While it is the same form factor as a laptop battery it is not the same. The chemistry is also a bit different in order to be suitable for an electric car.
It has been estimated that Tesla pays under $2 per cell but nobody except Tesla and Panasonic know the actual cost. Tesla also gets the economy of scale. They go through 3-4 million cells per week acording to one of the techs I spoke with at the factory.
stores I use such as fasttech sell those cells too, they aren't made for tesla to keep cost down; they are made for people who need cells minus the protection circuit or a shorter cell (for instance in tight fi flashlight with spring/button on driver so none needed on cell). Many just solder on buttons if needed but many people use little magnets on buttonless cells I notice
doubt it, they have no real benefit in making this kind of malware as far as I can see, it is bottom of the barrel stuff we're talkign about here. Admittedly they do have a hand in a hell of a lot of the other stuff like zeroday exploit kits which the vendors of admit US is one of the biggest customers in buying such kits. The money is no issue to gov funded group so pocket change from making such malware is pointless, besides any other reason to compromise mobiles they can get access to that data already without your phone being compromised
actually classical is more forgiving, now technical metal on the other hand has a lot more sound going on and stresses the drivers a lot more. I listen to both metal and classical an have experimented with lossy/lossless boundaries and it is easier to here degradation in metal at reasonably higher bitrate compared to even multi voice classical. Artifacts, bass muddying and bleeding into everything, stereo compression and so on really take it's toll quickly under 200kbs. I listen on sansa clip+, HP amp, sunrise xcape v1 out and about but at home on my PC with headphone amped soundcard and FA03 clone cans I can hear it and especially on denon ah p372 which don't tolerate lossy artifacts very well at all and show it up. As above it depends on mastering of source to begin with as well as ears and equipment.
TBH the standardised times worked pretty well for the railway thing since before then you needed myriad clocks in stations showing times at current station and other stations and even other lines maintained by another firm in same place. Setting standard time for all to use in particular place was good thing for synchronicity but I wholly agree it is meaningless as far as amount of daylight workers get as oft doesn't work out that way.
I sometimes think they don't want to believe it since even given proof they wont listen. I have few friends who seen it more than me 1st hand, one of whom was from rather well off background and turned his back on it as he correctly believes you cannot "fix" a system designed on a f**ked up foundation, you are right it is indeed by design. The same guy was educated with one of the Rothchilds btw, sad thing is she was prob one of the most unhappy girls they'd met so I guess even the industrial families at the top of the pack don't win despite having everything. It's the same in UK and rest of globe as in USA, nothing will be fixed until the system is removed and a new one in place which wont happen since all the people in position to destroy it buy into in for short term profits or long term profits of elitist minority. Corps control most govrnment level stuff where it matters and essentially 2 families and some affiliated groups have members in everythin' from IMF to goverment bodies. Still have none doms running show in London, still set up in UK province tax havens, still exploiting tax difference moving raw materials and finished products between tax boundaries (on paper at least, in reality they don't cross borders at hence bananas in Uk come from hondura to here NOT half way aroudn the world through several tax havens as paper trail looks like). Makes me f***ing sick tbh.
but with the purpose of a targeted marketing pitch you wont see, sending you ads you don't see kind of nullifies it. I have ghostery/noscript/abp on when check through browser but use imap/mailclient generally so either way I forget there is ads until these stories come up.
If they change tos in future to strip personal sensitive data and use it against me by kicking my door in then I'll likely leave their service, it prob wont be retro active and only a mug would email sensitive data like that esp through something like gmail.
Honestly I don't give a rat's ass if Manning was gay or Assange is fucking goats, all I care about is the DATA, that is what matters. Did everyone forget that Woodward and Bernstein were treated like shit by many in the editorial column, even being called communists which back then was like being called traitor? Didn't change those canceled checks from CREP to the plumbers though, did it?
At the end of the day there are thousands of documents that NOBODY disputes the reality of, even the government whose dirty laundry they bear, and THAT is what we should be focusing on. Spending all our time giving a shit about Assange would be like an investigation into whether Woodward fucked around or Bernstein cheated on his taxes...who gives a fuck? Its not ABOUT them, its ABOUT the bold faced lies we have been sold for decades, going all the way back to the Gulf of Tonkin and probably beyond. thousands, maybe even millions, have died because of lies by men who stood to profit from war, yet we are supposed to ignore this? Fuck you, lets focus on the real issue and that ain't whether Assange is a dick or not!
someone mod this up please, if only i had points. Exactly how I feel and am tired of telling people since people get distracted from the issue so easy by irrelevant points
Well, here's someone never in.mil nor looked at a map. Even wargamers know tanks are dead meat in cities under any circumstances other than a peaceful show of force, and more generally without infantry support they don't last long even in the "open" countryside. Generally speaking tanks vs infantry turns out pretty well for the infantry as a group given identical intelligence / experience / skill. Stupidity or desperation can force infantry into being slaughtered by armor, but it usually doesn't turn out that way. Basically tanks can't see very well, can only shoot in one direction (and slowly) and are remarkably fragile other than frontal armor hits where they are, admittedly, pretty much invincible. Tanks are really good at helping infantry take out a hard position like a machine gun bunker, plus or minus the bunker having some anti-tank rounds or more hilariously anti-tank minefield in the "obvious" firing positions.
Combined arms only works if... its combined... not just merely exists or deployed separately in complete isolation
Now what infantry really doesn't like is trained experienced snipers operating defensive at time and place of their choosing on their own very well known turf aka gun nuts.
Also if you think the supply line for a bunch of, basically, overgrown hunters, is insecure and easy to cut, you surely have never seen an armor supply line. The best way to fight armor (and air!), if you're in no great hurry, is to hide from / avoid / ignore it and go after the fuel / food / water / supply convoys. Hmm sound like a scenario where the US has recently lost the war? A broken tank is basically useless tactically and the MTBF isn't as good as you'd like to think under combat conditions.
exactly, cocks who think ied's don't work against tanks as it's small HE charge forget or don't know they often put a dirty great penetrator in the mix esp. if it is set on a road. Easy to obtain metal in various & shapes to carry the force into a vehicle no prob and they DO f**k up vehicles. Not just tanks but lot of other shit rolling around too which stands even less of a chance.
The head of Israeli intelligence ran an interview on it years back, first came across links to it in "new scientist". Shame i don't have the article now, was about how torture yielded useless info and undermined progress, in fact good cop bad cop doesn't work and without torture they would have got MORE info. Hard to open up and trust someone or let your guard down and accidentally slip info when guys on their team had previously pissed all over your basic rights and their so called anti torture conventions.
The primary way of getting good info was really getting close and learnign their back story inside out, getting to know where they are from etc then making out you already know blah blah and are interested in deeper info. They started revealing more info as they assume the interogator knows that so cut the bullshit. Kind of thinking along the lines of he knows the family across the road from me, the fact the 2 sons are involved, all about their cell etc so he knows their primary backers etc as alludes to knowing so no longer guarded on such matters and spill all kinds.http://politics.slashdot.org/story/13/01/26/1620230/julian-assange-pans-wikileaks-movie#
Clearly getting the meat to resemble its cell source will be the critical problem. Using something like a massive 3D Printer to build large masses of artificial muscle (using electrical stimulation to exercise it and give it real structure and density) and controlling its growth to include extra nutritional values for instance high Omega 3 content. This meat would be much healthier than the meat we eat now, and because it was grown in an antiseptic environment, there would be virtually no possibility of food contamination. Also using different cell stocks gives you chicken, turkey, pork, beef, fish or shellfish. The efficiency of meat production would an order of magnitude greater than current livestock farming. The meat would be with any luck, healthy, inexpensive, delicious and environmentally friendly. So yes, the vast majority of people would eat the syn-meat. Real meat would be a luxury commodity for the super wealthy... like Kobe beef taken to the limit.
problem is it probably wont be so pure as I'd imagine the growth stage would involve a very high level of growth hormones and the like. Probably end up worse that animal origin. Ethically it isn't objectionable to me but I don't see the process being as simple as few cells and a nutrient broth goes in and meat comes out much like the early quorn where it was just the fungal hyphae bound with eggwhite (that changed long ago) that was vat grown with little but nutrient "soup" kept warm and filtered to remove longer strands.
they also don't get there are a lack of fucking jobs in the UK, I know many people trying so hard to get work but even minimum wage unskilled labour wants not only several years experience but industry specific. Example we laughed about a cleaning job in factory that wanted "3 years+ cleaning experience in the food industry" as an essential and wouldn't consider other xp. My borther has a degree in programming and works as a shop clerk ffs because of lack of jobs, another friend is struggling and hopping software companies with periods on benefit due to all of them laying off staff
Careful. A lot of people object to the Daily Mail because of a mistake a subeditor made with a headline in 1934. The best response to this is to say "WHAT'S THE MATTER? TOO TRUE FOR YOU?"
Actually, a lot of people object to the Daily Mail because it is a right-wing, xenophobic troll publication masquerading as a newspaper. The whole "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" thing is not considered anymore, because gay paedophile immigrants who hate the queen are destroying society.
yeah my thoughts exactly, only you forgot the fact they're also dole cheat drug dealing gay paedo anti royal immigrants. Well except the newspaper masquerading bit, that rag never even tried pretending to be a newspaper hence everyone I know would instantly discredit citation upon seeing the name (as I did)
I'd doubt, it if it came to the crunch you'd still take liability rather than the company. The business (in this case adobe but stands for all) would just shrug off whatever all the same and claim the fault lies with either you since someone representing you did it, even if it wasn't a direct order you still gave them available access and installation rights so you installed it by proxy of someone so it's still on you. The guy who said he got his young kids to do it would be held as legal guardian etc etc and responsible still, you'd have more chance taking your kids/person who clicked ok to court in private case to shift whatever onto them and no way to make it stick to corp.
"You're assuming the function of the police is to fight crime. The function of the police is social control."
No. The societal function of police IS to fight crime. The fact that they engage in social control is what prevents them from properly performing their their function.
no the function of police IS social control and property protection in effect to be system maintaining. They turn a blind eye to so much crime because it doesn't impact the system or its not in systems interest to curtail. The function of much of the developed worlds police has always been enforcing such order and protecting property. Solving crime is naive view IMO, besides it'd put the police and all linked to law enforcment out of work if they did hence they don't tend to actually take routes which lead to reductions. A friend who is a senior parole officer recently said they'd had concerns in work since newer legislation was confirmed behind closed doors to have been drafted to make "more crime and increase sentencing" because that's where the money is for the establishment.
I have seen issues in linux with levono thinkpads when I installed zenwalk on an x61 for friend, had a software fault/incompatibility that had in known bugs info it'd cause hardware damage IIRC hence blacklisted it so my mate wouldn't accidentally install it. Can't remember the package but if you didn't read up before putting it in then you'd get probs. It was a fan and temp monitor application.
Not true, reduced calorie alone doesn't shift it so easy, body shifts weight much more efficiently if you combine with resistance training as opposed to cardio workouts combined with calorie watching (or either cardio or calorie watching alone). Dropping your calories alone can actually make it much more inefficient way to lose it since your body may start storing fats. Resistance with short cardio mixed in is best since resistance makes loss of weight easier and cardio burns up calories too.
Obviously it's complex and changed a lot since I was a student but not that much (degree was in biochem btw). This has been my personal experience too since I lost 2 to 3 stone and due to working sitting down I have put back on then lost again over the years; it has been almost effortless when combined with heavy resistance training, not to mention I gained more muscle doing this the past few years so the weight I lost to get back to 13stone odd from 16stone (I'm 6'4" so not dramatic but definitely shows) was easier than calorie control alone which I've done fair bit off on and off for health reasons and cardio I always do pretty much since walk and cycle a lot.
The muscle weighs more so you'll put weight on is a myth. You'd need to be SERIOUSLY hammering weights for long hours along with increasing calories to bulk like that. A lot of friends compete at various levels in cycling and running (all amateur in running but some are pro cyclists) and they do the same when getting in shape for the season (some are in shape all year round but get super tuned for season) and not one has gained weight through increasing muscle by this method. Cutting very gently by managed & moderate calorie drop to usual with adequate training in most cases means you'll lose mostly fat and small amount of muscle too but not load. Starving yourself along with most the diet fads you see are the worst ways to lose or keep it off. Biochemically they are bad I mean, the bs in most of them doesn't take into account any hormone responses to dieting nor does it account for fats being burned at rest as prefered muscle energy source at rest; free blood glucose and glycogen stores being used for high aerobic activity and for brain since fats wont cross blood brain barrier although during starvation the body can use ketobodies although not as efficient as glucose (about a 3rd IIRC) since krebs with glucose is most efficient. Obviously this is major oversimplification but you know what I mean.
There are other matters too including the money big pharma makes off addicts for addiction and maintenance treatment along with secondary health treatments related to use of various drugs. That's a lot of money to throw away. There is also the matter of the instability in the areas the drugs raw materials are produced which fluctuates due to feudal natures etc, organised means alternate sourcing or stablizing such regions which drives those out of power, leads to higher prices as such regions get their shit together and get real infrastructure and so on. Mafia would still turn a tidy profit though just in counterfeit goods (including repackaged to look like branded tobacco, alcohol, the newly legalised drugs no doubt, racketeering, human trafficking, sex trade, legit fronts etc etc).

Admittedly they do have a hand in a hell of a lot of the other stuff like zeroday exploit kits which the vendors of admit US is one of the biggest customers in buying such kits. The money is no issue to gov funded group so pocket change from making such malware is pointless, besides any other reason to compromise mobiles they can get access to that data already without your phone being compromised
actually classical is more forgiving, now technical metal on the other hand has a lot more sound going on and stresses the drivers a lot more. I listen to both metal and classical an have experimented with lossy/lossless boundaries and it is easier to here degradation in metal at reasonably higher bitrate compared to even multi voice classical. Artifacts, bass muddying and bleeding into everything, stereo compression and so on really take it's toll quickly under 200kbs. I listen on sansa clip+, HP amp, sunrise xcape v1 out and about but at home on my PC with headphone amped soundcard and FA03 clone cans I can hear it and especially on denon ah p372 which don't tolerate lossy artifacts very well at all and show it up. As above it depends on mastering of source to begin with as well as ears and equipment.
TBH the standardised times worked pretty well for the railway thing since before then you needed myriad clocks in stations showing times at current station and other stations and even other lines maintained by another firm in same place. Setting standard time for all to use in particular place was good thing for synchronicity but I wholly agree it is meaningless as far as amount of daylight workers get as oft doesn't work out that way.
I sometimes think they don't want to believe it since even given proof they wont listen. I have few friends who seen it more than me 1st hand, one of whom was from rather well off background and turned his back on it as he correctly believes you cannot "fix" a system designed on a f**ked up foundation, you are right it is indeed by design. The same guy was educated with one of the Rothchilds btw, sad thing is she was prob one of the most unhappy girls they'd met so I guess even the industrial families at the top of the pack don't win despite having everything. It's the same in UK and rest of globe as in USA, nothing will be fixed until the system is removed and a new one in place which wont happen since all the people in position to destroy it buy into in for short term profits or long term profits of elitist minority. Corps control most govrnment level stuff where it matters and essentially 2 families and some affiliated groups have members in everythin' from IMF to goverment bodies. Still have none doms running show in London, still set up in UK province tax havens, still exploiting tax difference moving raw materials and finished products between tax boundaries (on paper at least, in reality they don't cross borders at hence bananas in Uk come from hondura to here NOT half way aroudn the world through several tax havens as paper trail looks like). Makes me f***ing sick tbh.
They're still reading your email.
but with the purpose of a targeted marketing pitch you wont see, sending you ads you don't see kind of nullifies it. I have ghostery/noscript/abp on when check through browser but use imap/mailclient generally so either way I forget there is ads until these stories come up. If they change tos in future to strip personal sensitive data and use it against me by kicking my door in then I'll likely leave their service, it prob wont be retro active and only a mug would email sensitive data like that esp through something like gmail.
Honestly I don't give a rat's ass if Manning was gay or Assange is fucking goats, all I care about is the DATA, that is what matters. Did everyone forget that Woodward and Bernstein were treated like shit by many in the editorial column, even being called communists which back then was like being called traitor? Didn't change those canceled checks from CREP to the plumbers though, did it?
At the end of the day there are thousands of documents that NOBODY disputes the reality of, even the government whose dirty laundry they bear, and THAT is what we should be focusing on. Spending all our time giving a shit about Assange would be like an investigation into whether Woodward fucked around or Bernstein cheated on his taxes...who gives a fuck? Its not ABOUT them, its ABOUT the bold faced lies we have been sold for decades, going all the way back to the Gulf of Tonkin and probably beyond. thousands, maybe even millions, have died because of lies by men who stood to profit from war, yet we are supposed to ignore this? Fuck you, lets focus on the real issue and that ain't whether Assange is a dick or not!
someone mod this up please, if only i had points. Exactly how I feel and am tired of telling people since people get distracted from the issue so easy by irrelevant points
Well, here's someone never in .mil nor looked at a map. Even wargamers know tanks are dead meat in cities under any circumstances other than a peaceful show of force, and more generally without infantry support they don't last long even in the "open" countryside. Generally speaking tanks vs infantry turns out pretty well for the infantry as a group given identical intelligence / experience / skill. Stupidity or desperation can force infantry into being slaughtered by armor, but it usually doesn't turn out that way. Basically tanks can't see very well, can only shoot in one direction (and slowly) and are remarkably fragile other than frontal armor hits where they are, admittedly, pretty much invincible. Tanks are really good at helping infantry take out a hard position like a machine gun bunker, plus or minus the bunker having some anti-tank rounds or more hilariously anti-tank minefield in the "obvious" firing positions.
Combined arms only works if... its combined... not just merely exists or deployed separately in complete isolation
Now what infantry really doesn't like is trained experienced snipers operating defensive at time and place of their choosing on their own very well known turf aka gun nuts.
Also if you think the supply line for a bunch of, basically, overgrown hunters, is insecure and easy to cut, you surely have never seen an armor supply line. The best way to fight armor (and air!), if you're in no great hurry, is to hide from / avoid / ignore it and go after the fuel / food / water / supply convoys. Hmm sound like a scenario where the US has recently lost the war? A broken tank is basically useless tactically and the MTBF isn't as good as you'd like to think under combat conditions.
exactly, cocks who think ied's don't work against tanks as it's small HE charge forget or don't know they often put a dirty great penetrator in the mix esp. if it is set on a road. Easy to obtain metal in various & shapes to carry the force into a vehicle no prob and they DO f**k up vehicles. Not just tanks but lot of other shit rolling around too which stands even less of a chance.
The head of Israeli intelligence ran an interview on it years back, first came across links to it in "new scientist". Shame i don't have the article now, was about how torture yielded useless info and undermined progress, in fact good cop bad cop doesn't work and without torture they would have got MORE info. Hard to open up and trust someone or let your guard down and accidentally slip info when guys on their team had previously pissed all over your basic rights and their so called anti torture conventions. The primary way of getting good info was really getting close and learnign their back story inside out, getting to know where they are from etc then making out you already know blah blah and are interested in deeper info. They started revealing more info as they assume the interogator knows that so cut the bullshit. Kind of thinking along the lines of he knows the family across the road from me, the fact the 2 sons are involved, all about their cell etc so he knows their primary backers etc as alludes to knowing so no longer guarded on such matters and spill all kinds.http://politics.slashdot.org/story/13/01/26/1620230/julian-assange-pans-wikileaks-movie#
Clearly getting the meat to resemble its cell source will be the critical problem. Using something like a massive 3D Printer to build large masses of artificial muscle (using electrical stimulation to exercise it and give it real structure and density) and controlling its growth to include extra nutritional values for instance high Omega 3 content. This meat would be much healthier than the meat we eat now, and because it was grown in an antiseptic environment, there would be virtually no possibility of food contamination. Also using different cell stocks gives you chicken, turkey, pork, beef, fish or shellfish. The efficiency of meat production would an order of magnitude greater than current livestock farming. The meat would be with any luck, healthy, inexpensive, delicious and environmentally friendly. So yes, the vast majority of people would eat the syn-meat. Real meat would be a luxury commodity for the super wealthy... like Kobe beef taken to the limit.
problem is it probably wont be so pure as I'd imagine the growth stage would involve a very high level of growth hormones and the like. Probably end up worse that animal origin. Ethically it isn't objectionable to me but I don't see the process being as simple as few cells and a nutrient broth goes in and meat comes out much like the early quorn where it was just the fungal hyphae bound with eggwhite (that changed long ago) that was vat grown with little but nutrient "soup" kept warm and filtered to remove longer strands.
they also don't get there are a lack of fucking jobs in the UK, I know many people trying so hard to get work but even minimum wage unskilled labour wants not only several years experience but industry specific. Example we laughed about a cleaning job in factory that wanted "3 years+ cleaning experience in the food industry" as an essential and wouldn't consider other xp. My borther has a degree in programming and works as a shop clerk ffs because of lack of jobs, another friend is struggling and hopping software companies with periods on benefit due to all of them laying off staff
Careful. A lot of people object to the Daily Mail because of a mistake a subeditor made with a headline in 1934. The best response to this is to say "WHAT'S THE MATTER? TOO TRUE FOR YOU?"
Actually, a lot of people object to the Daily Mail because it is a right-wing, xenophobic troll publication masquerading as a newspaper. The whole "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" thing is not considered anymore, because gay paedophile immigrants who hate the queen are destroying society.
yeah my thoughts exactly, only you forgot the fact they're also dole cheat drug dealing gay paedo anti royal immigrants. Well except the newspaper masquerading bit, that rag never even tried pretending to be a newspaper hence everyone I know would instantly discredit citation upon seeing the name (as I did)
I'd doubt, it if it came to the crunch you'd still take liability rather than the company. The business (in this case adobe but stands for all) would just shrug off whatever all the same and claim the fault lies with either you since someone representing you did it, even if it wasn't a direct order you still gave them available access and installation rights so you installed it by proxy of someone so it's still on you. The guy who said he got his young kids to do it would be held as legal guardian etc etc and responsible still, you'd have more chance taking your kids/person who clicked ok to court in private case to shift whatever onto them and no way to make it stick to corp.
"You're assuming the function of the police is to fight crime. The function of the police is social control."
No. The societal function of police IS to fight crime. The fact that they engage in social control is what prevents them from properly performing their their function.
no the function of police IS social control and property protection in effect to be system maintaining. They turn a blind eye to so much crime because it doesn't impact the system or its not in systems interest to curtail. The function of much of the developed worlds police has always been enforcing such order and protecting property. Solving crime is naive view IMO, besides it'd put the police and all linked to law enforcment out of work if they did hence they don't tend to actually take routes which lead to reductions. A friend who is a senior parole officer recently said they'd had concerns in work since newer legislation was confirmed behind closed doors to have been drafted to make "more crime and increase sentencing" because that's where the money is for the establishment.
I have seen issues in linux with levono thinkpads when I installed zenwalk on an x61 for friend, had a software fault/incompatibility that had in known bugs info it'd cause hardware damage IIRC hence blacklisted it so my mate wouldn't accidentally install it. Can't remember the package but if you didn't read up before putting it in then you'd get probs. It was a fan and temp monitor application.
Not true, reduced calorie alone doesn't shift it so easy, body shifts weight much more efficiently if you combine with resistance training as opposed to cardio workouts combined with calorie watching (or either cardio or calorie watching alone). Dropping your calories alone can actually make it much more inefficient way to lose it since your body may start storing fats. Resistance with short cardio mixed in is best since resistance makes loss of weight easier and cardio burns up calories too.
Obviously it's complex and changed a lot since I was a student but not that much (degree was in biochem btw). This has been my personal experience too since I lost 2 to 3 stone and due to working sitting down I have put back on then lost again over the years; it has been almost effortless when combined with heavy resistance training, not to mention I gained more muscle doing this the past few years so the weight I lost to get back to 13stone odd from 16stone (I'm 6'4" so not dramatic but definitely shows) was easier than calorie control alone which I've done fair bit off on and off for health reasons and cardio I always do pretty much since walk and cycle a lot.
The muscle weighs more so you'll put weight on is a myth. You'd need to be SERIOUSLY hammering weights for long hours along with increasing calories to bulk like that. A lot of friends compete at various levels in cycling and running (all amateur in running but some are pro cyclists) and they do the same when getting in shape for the season (some are in shape all year round but get super tuned for season) and not one has gained weight through increasing muscle by this method. Cutting very gently by managed & moderate calorie drop to usual with adequate training in most cases means you'll lose mostly fat and small amount of muscle too but not load. Starving yourself along with most the diet fads you see are the worst ways to lose or keep it off. Biochemically they are bad I mean, the bs in most of them doesn't take into account any hormone responses to dieting nor does it account for fats being burned at rest as prefered muscle energy source at rest; free blood glucose and glycogen stores being used for high aerobic activity and for brain since fats wont cross blood brain barrier although during starvation the body can use ketobodies although not as efficient as glucose (about a 3rd IIRC) since krebs with glucose is most efficient. Obviously this is major oversimplification but you know what I mean.
There are other matters too including the money big pharma makes off addicts for addiction and maintenance treatment along with secondary health treatments related to use of various drugs. That's a lot of money to throw away. There is also the matter of the instability in the areas the drugs raw materials are produced which fluctuates due to feudal natures etc, organised means alternate sourcing or stablizing such regions which drives those out of power, leads to higher prices as such regions get their shit together and get real infrastructure and so on. Mafia would still turn a tidy profit though just in counterfeit goods (including repackaged to look like branded tobacco, alcohol, the newly legalised drugs no doubt, racketeering, human trafficking, sex trade, legit fronts etc etc).
