I played it just because the ad blitz made it sound interesting. I think I would've found the game much more interesting had it been sudden death beginning to end. Breezing through it to the end pretty much made it coaster after that.
I remember as a kid watching a sparrow fly through a chain link fence and thinking that kind of reaction time was impossible. Plus, when you look at the reaction time of smaller animals to a perceived threat (you trying to sneak up on one), we can't come close at our size.
The problem is both the Green and Libertarian parties ignore practical needs to compromise on strict ideology. And, those compromises are where corruption creep in.
He's trying to blame everything on not getting SOME of the information he wanted because of privacy advocates. Our intelligence forces IMO have used terrorism as an excuse for a 1984ish grab bag approach, even at the expense of focusing on the REAL potential terrorists. Somehow, we have the resources to generate mega databases of all our transactions, travels, and communications, yet we didn't have the resources to track a guy (Boston bomber) who the Russians provided pretty good evidence actually WAS pursuing terrorist ties.
They should be squarely focused on the potential guys and the terrorism outfits rather than trying to dragnet everyone hoping to luck up and find a bomb on a "random" security check of anyone who looks the wrong shade of brown. We're wasting resources and money. A look at the list of so-called domestic terrorism plots they've actually stopped is evidence enough.
Build the rocket and ask who wants to actually take the trip. Lots of people are willing to indulge in a hypothetical sacrifice. BTW, I'm planning to stop eating red meat any day now.
I lived in Raytown around the old drug store back in the early 00s. Lots of JoCo people thought it was the hood, yet Raytown High School was the highest rated school in the metro, I lived in a dead quiet suburban neighborhood (why I moved actually). I'm not saying there aren't crime-ridden neighborhoods, just as you point out this app is going to be overrun with perceptions and not real data.
Probably because the metrics are based on input from users (who are probably simply flagging any of the *them* neighborhoods) and not any rational data. You have to live a pretty sheltered life to think you're going to drive through any neighborhood and get dragged out of your car and robbed. I'm not saying it never happens, but the odds are damned low. I went to a city college in a "bad" KC neighborhood and the crime stats were really low. And, that's for kids walking around, living, and working there, not just driving through.
Maybe there are *bad* neighborhoods where this information is relevant, but my guess is the percentage of these neighborhoods is low enough to obviate an app like this. If you're staying out of dark alleyways populated by shadowy figures at 2am, you're probably safe on just about any street. If you take a look at crime maps for your city, the results are usually pretty surprising.
This is quite similar to the case of the Zapruder film. You have every right to recite the speech, this is an issue stemming back to 1963 when 2 companies started selling the speech and King sued them for the rights.
I'm certain they're the same guy. Too much of a coincidence for a pilot to be the same actor in consecutive movies. And, your chronology doesn't work since the order is reversed.
Just for comparison, Google's UI updates seem to be clearly superior. They're more in your face, intuitive, and I always feel it's a vertical move. Yahoo's updates are so-so and sometimes hide old functionality and just give me the feeling that it's a horizontal change and probably not related to making my experience better. You used to be able to see Yahoo profile updates (I'm on their answers forum a lot), but now that menu bar icon is gone from almost all Yahoo pages (oddly, it shows up as an artifact on some pages entered through only some routes) and you get a batch email maybe once a day.
Ever notice kids don't play outside anymore? That's because parents are worried about pedos and abductors. Now, the risk might be minute, but if something happens everyone piles on the parents like they were out smoking crack and neglecting their kids. That infamous story of the European girl abducted from her hotel room. Her parents were pretty close, yet everyone freaks out as if by not having their child 24/7 within sight they were bad parents.
I watched a movie/tv show from I think the 40s-50s. A woman pushing a kid along in a stroller, stops, parks the kid outside, and walks into a local shop with no fears of abductors or slavers. But, she also had no fear that she's be vilified for it.
I thought that comic was simplistic. The international community has a limited mandate for intervening in the affairs of another country. Take away from that what offenses are severe enough to rally a group of nations willing to use force and commit enough resources to do something substantial. It's not like people are sitting around not caring about what's been going on in Syria.
Wow, if what you posted is correct score one more for 21st century Slashdot dumbing down the conversation. About 50% of the discussion here is predicated on both those points being unknown.
Ahmannadinijad [sic] was never running the country. He was nothing more than a Secretary of State analog. The clerics run Iran. But, it's an ingenious setup because it kept the Western world focused on the short, loud one (didn't he lose his last election?).

Wait a second...yeah me to

That's one google search I dare not try.
Do people actually actively guide ICBMs? I'd figured they were completely automated. And, how accurate do you need to be with a nuke?

It wasn't. The real work was done as it past the gas giants.
Probably confirms the heliosphere isn't static and distorts; the edge has probably legitimately washed over Voyager that many times.
Richard Wyckoff? Dick Wyckoff? Really?
Their insatiable drive for 24/7 dishwashers eliminated the mammoth's ability to reproduce.
Sorry, Mr. USA translate-everything-into-our-outdated-measurements-standard. That's 1.62 LoCs for you, Yankee.

Grant them immunity. Then, you can compel them to testify.

I hope it's not normal to browse porn sites at work. Ewww.
Not as cool as Kronoforms, those transformer watches!
