I recall hearing this theory a short while ago and rolling my eyes at the ridiculous reach of "insect repellent." Goes to show you what a great experiment can reveal. Some of the ideas that natural science types come up with to test hypotheses are as simple and elegant as they are revealing.
I just figured out Hollywood was doing this maybe a few years ago. I was watching a scene of a guy modestly speeding out of a parking garage and was jarred by the inappropriate tire squealing. Since then, I always look (and find) impossible "hyper" audio cues in movies.
That would work if municipalities didn't cut yellow light time for more red light tickets. I worked near an intersection where they were demoing cameras (just for research purposes of course!) and they had the time cut so short that you had about a second to hit the breaks to slow down moderately our you'd find yourself jamming them to avoid the red light.
At the time my go-to Yahoo account was getting swamped with about 300 spam emails a day and I was looking for a low-hanging solution (didn't want to get in bed with Microsoft, though). And, I never had a real personal email plan. If I could start all over again, I'd have 3 accounts:
1.) Garbage account when I have to provide an email address and don't care to see anything but an ephemoral conversation. 2.) Public correspondence for long-term email relationships e.g. billing accounts and on-line purchases. If I was running my own email server, I'd probably look for a plugin that would allow me to create temporary accounts to handle some transactions. 3.) Private correspondence for communicating with friends and family only.
Now, I've got a personal Google account that I haven't used with any discipline so it's used for a combination of all 3. Not to mention I'm tied to Google's cookies following me around. I use Firefox plugins but who knows how well those work.
It's not just to F you over to make your life difficult. Seattle in particular has an problem with unregulated cabbies screwing people over (I heard plenty about it last year on a trip there). Now, that's not to say that the sanctioned cabbies don't overcharge an run up miles on you, but you probably don't have to worry about them driving you into an alley and putting a gun in your face.
So, these organic solutions reopen that can of worms. It's interesting to see how these services are trying to overcome the security and accountability problems which might make them viable. I'm just saying understand why the old system evolved.
"Waaah, someone won't let us share another person's products I torrented for free! Now I have to find another free site to find stolen binaries! DropBox is the Man!"
Google makes it REALLY hard to create accounts now that aren't tied to your real identity. Every time I try with nicknames and non-name handles, I get told there's something suspicious about my account (yeah right) and that they're blocking it.
If Yahoo doesn't try to make it a social tracking node (like the Google+ crap ruining the comments section), pays out well for hits, and provides a better interface for screening out the crap (low rated videos that get millions of hits based on a good teaser, duplicates, etc.) I think they stand a great chance of seeing a ton of videos migrate.
People will more likely report problem people than the gamers who quietly participate and cause no problems. And, simple disputes can cause negative reports. However, I would like to see some crowdsourced attempts in other games to flag players for typical trolling; racism, griefing, TKing, and suspected hacking. Admins should *definitely* have the ability to flag people as known problem children and I'd love to see these flags pop up on player names when I log in.
In games like Battlefield griefers have been able to rule the roost uncontested for far too long.
This is the *entire* point of the net neutrality debate. Businesses want to reserve the right to gobble up subsidizes to build out our internet infrastructure, but want reject the responsibilities of being a common carrier and turn around and double charge both the content consumers *AND* producers.
It just seems like they have information that still doesn't make sense for what we're told are the available resources. The public info just seems so selective as if each government is trying to hold their surveillance cards as tightly as possible. And, intel from an old satellite seems like a cover story. This is all just so...off.
Because unlike your latest Call of Duty download, hunting doesn't consist of moving a mouse until the crosshairs are over the head. It's an entire process.
Dude, have you ever tried hunting? Depending on the animal you're going after hunting with a rifle is no guarantee either and slogging around through forests or grasslands all day is no picnic.
And bow hunting can be just as lazy. Dumping bait on the ground then getting into a tree stand waiting for all the critters thinking they've found a free lunch?
If you run that software a few times it does. So, someone comes it with fake pains 2 times for meds and gets flagged. There's a 98% chance it's legit. Three times and there's a 99.7% chance they're faking it. You're not going to stop the one-timer, but you'll nail the addict.
When Apple said they'd never heard of Prism, they were using lawyer-speak to conflate not knowing the official program name with not knowing the program existed.

Or, the flies just move on to the millions of other herd animals around without stripes.
I doubt the stripes help with bottle flies, though.
They should just play Yakety Sax. That makes *everything* speed up!

It's called "mainstream media." Like stock footage they roll when they're too lazy to go out and film an incident live.

I tried downing my tool, but I couldn't reach.

Way to step on the joke, LordLAmecat!

I still can't figure out what Walmart is suing over. How are they being overcharged?

Do you have a choice? Spy satellites aren't geosynchronous so they're going to eventually pass over that area.

I'm not sure what you mean by reactive, but lithium seems way more reactive to me.
Make sure to add VIP hotel accommodations as well. Bear Gryllis don't leave home without 'em!

1. Open Wikipedia
2. Look at a map of US states
3. Compare Montana and Massachusetts.
Now, which one is the bigger economy?
