Thing is, they are missing the research and citations... For all we know, it could actually put kids who use both early at an advantage. They might not get dizzy in any situations. They might have better abilities to judge distances both real and virtual. They may have better hand eye coordination from "touching" things that aren't actually there. It might take a while to develop those skills just as a bilingual child takes longer developing language skills, but ultimately can get both languages to a near mastery level. I'm not saying this is the case, but that there is no proof one way or the other.
Ape #1: Dear me. What are these things coming out of her nose? Dark Helmet: Hey, hey, hey. Watch my Helmet. Ape #2: Spaceballs. Ape #1: Oh, shit. There goes the planet.
Lets institute laws that apply to EVERYONE equally, it doesn't matter if you are a citizen, the rich, the poor, a police officer, a government official, or a corporate executive. If you are found guilty, the punishments actually apply (including prison time, I'm tired of listening to the excuses of judges who refuse to punish police who are caught red-handed committing perjury).
My question is why he can't get his own account to post from? Then maybe it would be easier for them to allow us to exclude him? Or maybe "exclude by tag" and then tag it with his name... No luck in/. land.
I think you're looking for a Gnostic Atheist... Those would be the ones that claim they can never be convinced. And Agnostic Atheist is explicitly telling you they can be convinced.
Fact is, probably both could be convinced. All it would take is for this magic sky man to actually prove it to them instead of disguising all his miracles as indistinguishable from random chance, hiding fossils in the earth, forcing everything to behave exactly in line with physics, and only communicating via an inconsistent, 2000+ year old fictional book written by people with agendas.
I'll only agree with you to a point. There are a lot of old wives tails in latin america that people follow, but for the most part they would trust western medicine in the case of life threatening pandemics where the men/women in white suits start coming out... Also there are lots of doctors around, so if something that serious was happening then they would be be the ones really helping the uneducated people understand that this isn't just a "government scare" and really quite serious. Their social structure is quite good at disseminating information outside of traditional channels.
In short, my guess is that brujeria would be kept to a minimum if an ebola outbreak started in Latin America.
Every first aid course I've ever taken has taught, and retaught how to take off gloves. I'm sure someone going into such a situation would have been taught as well.
Actually, this is the US, the selling of the evidence and even its seizure is independent of the trial, in fact, it would be handled in a seperate civil trial under a much more leniant standard of evidence, allowing for all of his assets to be seized and kept EVEN IF HIS TRIAL RETURNS A NOT-GUILTY VERDICT.
He can actually be found not-guilty, let free, and they still get to keep his stuff.
I just want to be put on the record saying: "That is completely insane."
FYI Gmail has SMTP/POP service, and has the added bonus of excellent virus/spam filtering and no rational size limits.
I would suggest a linux system with the main system being on a readonly partition. Then use unionfs/aufs to give them readwrite access. Worst case scenario you can blow away the RW partition and it will be restored to your defaults.
As for Window Manager, I'd give'm IceWM locked down with a Windows Style Start Menu. Put anything they can have access to there. (Maybe even a "Restore To Defaults" script.)
If you need remote access setup SSH to autostart on dialup connection, maybe with a No-IP client. If you set a decent password there is little risk for a mostly offline computer, and it would give you access. If ssh port is not an option you could setup some type of reverse ssh proxy connection.. but that might take up valuable bandwidth unless you give them a button they have to push to initiate the connection.
This summary is a butchered summary of a far more interesting article. Here is a far better source! [Cause HTML has Anchor Tags] I'm quite surprised at IBT's lack of knowledge. Viruses killed by antibiotics? Toxins Multiplying?
Wow I agree! Thanks for sharing this! This is much more interesting.. Maybe someone should write up a summary about the actual article....
Much as I'm not a fan of Bill gates, mistake #1 is not following the rules of automation:
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.
So when they say it is producing 300 stars per year, they are really saying that they are/have been observing about 300 stars completing that process? How fine is that line between being "almost a star" and actually being a star? Is there a flash point?
I've been to dozens of AirBnB locations all over Europe. I certainly can say that I've never had a truly bad experience. The only slightly bad experience I've had came from what I think was a hotel trying to sell their services on the wrong site, and that was in Amsterdam. Those that used the site as designed, were generally easy to sift through so we could find some real gems and avoid the cruft.
You get less human rights complaints when you let the children(or entire populations) stave by using robots for your cheap labour instead of paying them a pittance.:(

Just reading through the EFF page on this and it sounds like they got a patent on setting a header to track... Wow. That just sounds, ... , I don't know, but :(

Ding ding ding, I think we have a winner here!

So is "Domestic Terrorism Threat Level" a ranking of how disenfranchised the population feels beyond the level of "Peaceful Protest"?
I don't think so... I've seen all of these, often at the same time.
What like "The Man Who Was Thursday"?
Maybe, and I mean this as a real MAYBE, they learned something from those vulnerabilities...
Giving them more reason to need to improve?

Is it just me, or does this sound like an ambitious Law Professor looking for a new job as head of a newly minted agency?

How fine is that line between being "almost a star" and actually being a star? Is there a flash point?
The growing galaxy core is blazing with the light of millions of newborn stars that are forming at a ferocious rate.
In TFA it states that
GOODS-N-774 is producing 300 stars per year. “By comparison, the Milky Way produces thirty times fewer than this — roughly ten stars per year,”
I'm sure I could find it somewhere, or it is really an unanswerable question, but how fast do stars themselves generally form?
