In Canada, we had this thing called "lawful access" which allowed the police to initiate a search and seizure without a warrant. Including tracking a person without a warrant if there were exigent circumstances. This was struck down by the supreme court. But that's not tinfoil is it?
Hell, have you even bothered to look at some of the app updates recently for say google maps? Or some of the QR readers? That's just giving away info. Here let's take an example of the latest google map update that was pushed through: Disable keylock on the phone Disable phone from sleeping Broadcast location Directly call numbers Records audio Manage accounts lists Read phone identifier information, including phone number and serial # Allow NCF and full internet access Discover all known accounts, google accounts on phone, and view all configured accounts
And there's another 8 or so things I didn't bother to list.
And yes, I was brought up around farms and farmers, and I find it's mostly "big city" types who go all misty eyed about how fucking wonderful they are. They're not.
Of course it's not fun. It's hard work, and half the time you're making next to nothing while doing it. That's what crop insurance is for, I can remember at least twice as a kid when my uncles kids stayed with us because they couldn't afford to feed everyone at the same time but we could. But the following year when they needed the help we were out there helping.
Peh. Work in civilized places is reserved for adults? There's a serious problem with that mentality. It teaches kids that they can coast through life. My other uncles kids are a fine example of this. They're in their mid 30's perfectly fine and just "coasting along." I started my first apprenticeship at 13, I completed it at 17 nearly a year later, while still being in school. I've got my pipefitters ticket, and my mechanics ticket(A&D). I started my mechanics apprenticeship when I was 16, though I didn't complete that until I was in my late 20's because I kept putting it off.
Two incredibly stupid people, with desires of godhood or their desires for destruction on their mind. Are just as dangerous as two smart people with the desires bent on world domination. The difference between the two is luck, funding and skill. Luck, can make the first succeed, and cripple the second. Either because the first is getting "help" from the outside, and because the second because someone is working against them.
If you combine them, you might not get pre-war nazi-germany. What you might get is cambodia with nuclear tech, or per-aparthied south africa. And if you're blind enough to think that neither of them was a threat, you're simply fooling yourself.
I'm guessing you haven't been to China anytime in the last 10 years, and only listen to what the media here keeps telling you. That bulging middle class, that didn't exist 15 years ago is exploding as much as we didn't have one 200 years ago here.
They get them from China. The elite are very well off, it's very similar as to how it was in the USSR. The peasants are broke, poor, and downtrodden, but the elites? You know, they get a pat on the head and a few hours of luxury. And if you're in the inner circle, you get even more privileges.
Don't worry though, through years of careful brainwashing they teach that the western world is out to "steal" their(n.korean) paradise.
children driving a tractor or whatever is NOT abuse.. While I did not grow up on a farm, I was driving the family 12hp workhorse to mow lawns and haul wood and such.. I was around 6 or 7.
Of course it's not child abuse. Only in the warped mind of some government nanny is it child abuse, and the worst offenders are big city liberals who've never spent a day working on a farm in their lives. I spent my summers working on my uncles farm, either getting into the typical farm type trouble and in turn getting myself out--such as just how do you get a field beater that you just got stuck in 6" of mud out(that's easy, you go get the dozer and hook up some chains and pull it out)--to yeah and now we go off and harvest the corn. Enjoy that there 12hr day kiddo, by the way this is the CB...enjoy talking with your nieces and nephews, and the truckers along the highway(the 401 was nearby).
I've cut myself, sliced my fingers open, gotten more stitches than I can count. Never broken a bone though. Meh I've been spit on by horses, pissed on by cows. Hit and smacked around by sheep and goats. Had a bull charge me, because I was walking by. I've been up at the crack of stupid milking just about every stupid animal you can think of that can make milk, I've sheared things, I've busted my ass and done hard work and learned a major work ethic doing it. And I learned how to make silo-shine as they called it.
And I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world.
Schools were out during the summer so that children could work in the fields. How relevant is this now?
I don't know about where you live, but in my neck of the woods(Ontario), kids still work in the fields here. In fact, kids will still be working in the fields here until about the end of September and sometimes right up until mid-October. The provincial government doesn't like it, not a single bit, they've tried reallllly hard to piss all over farmers who have kids who do this. In most cases, the answer of parents have been to homeschool. It's gotten exceptionally bad in the last 6 years since the Liberals(left) have come to power over it, and they keep sloshing around the "try to ban kids from working on the farm" it keeps getting knocked down by the PC's(Conservatives who are right of centre) and NDP(far left).
Though I shouldn't be surprised at this response from the odd ball American. Especially since Obama dept. of agriculturehad tried to ban kids from working on the farm, and driving farm machinery.
Yes. Are there many? No. But if you look at STEAM's HW survey for PC's you'll see that about 57% of the market is Windows7 these days. Now there's at peak about 4-5m users on, there's 30-35m accounts. Probably be a lot more since they're getting into selling retail applications through steam too. Which should give an even broader picture.
The only thing holding back DX11 in gaming is...can you guess it? Consoles.
Yep works fine. This is what my uncle does, he works in heavy industry and in the very rare case when he has to do this that's what he does. He gets his backside shipped all over this rock fixing heavy machinery for the company he works for, and usually get treated by "x company" while there. Sometimes they have odd rules, one of the compounds he was staying at in Jordan no less, where they put him up to stay had a rule about no electronics inside. Which of course made no sense.
All of his schematics are on his laptop, which he needs to fix the machinery but he can't bring the laptop inside to look at it to figure out what's wrong. He ended up spending an extra week there because the only time he could look at it was either out in the parking lot at night, or when he was at the site.
They're all over the place still, the difference is the average person doesn't care and for good reason. You can only take so many lynching, murdering, arsonists, attempted terrorists in one go.
Pretty much. The UK only has as much free speech as dictated to you by government. Much like Canada does under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms via S.1.
I'm pretty sure that China and Russia along with countries like Venezuela have done a very fine job of setting an example of not respecting individual basic rights.
It's 911 in Canada as well. Just so you know, it's not "American" only. You can also use various *numbers in Canada, for instance in Ontario you can use *OPP(Ontario Provincial Police) for emergencies, other provinces use both as well. This is because the country is so freaking large, and resources are so freaking scattered, that sometimes 911 isn't always your best option.
Considering the majority of the country is islamic, with an increasing swing in islamic extremists? Hardly. I'll bet $20 that if you look at the chief architects of the bill, much like the ones in Thailand(who were directly linked to the monarchy--and have a similar law), these ones have deep links to the extremists. These types of laws exist to stifle dissent, nothing more nothing less, and there have been exceptionally brutal crackdowns in Malaysia on people being critical of muslims and islam.
I play games to shoot people in the face. Call it end of day "stress-relief."
I honestly play for a different reason, you know those studies that were released showing that people who game also gain the benefits of being distracted from their chronic pain? Well I figure that gaming is probably better than popping drugs all the time(it is), I can only take so many narcotics in a day before it really starts wearing on me pretty heavily.
I couldn't care less about some busybody and their "gaming for the right reason" I care that it's distracting me long enough that I'm not taking either Tylenol 3's, Hydromorphone, tencal-c, or two or three other things depending on the situation between migraines and my back which is so fucked up I can barely get dressed some days, let alone walk down the stairs, to try and make something to eat. Besides, stress in itself is healthy for you. And it all comes down perceptions of how you deal with it.
Iceland is? Didn't they just finish having a gigantic banking crash. Why yes, I do believe they did. In fact, I believe it's still so bad there that people in their 30's and 40's, with families are stuck moving back in with their parents because the currency is so devalued that it's hard to make ends meet. In fact it's so bad, that Iceland keeps looking at going to the Canadian Dollar to prop up it's currency.
And those Scandinavian states? The ones with those uber high tax rates, they're not doing so hot either. I'd start writing out why, but I'd actually hit the post limit. So let's just stick with Iceland for now.
There's plenty of stuff that I've been taught, but simply didn't understand. But could understand it after a night of sleep, heck. I've been woken up by those flashes of "oh shit, I get it" moments as the brain is working through something very complex that my conscious mind couldn't grasp. I believe that would fall under the "learning while you're asleep."
Funny enough if you go digging through the old Inuit stories, there are a few where entire groups have been wiped out because of the sea ice or lack thereof. Again, that's oral tradition and people don't like to consider that or anything. This stuff really isn't earth shattering to people who've spent any time in the far north of Canada and talked to them. It's wax and wane.
Records kinda mean squat just like you said, we've got plenty of stations here in Canada, which are only 10-20 years old. Some no more than 30 years old, and those are included in the weather sampling data. Heck, we've got some places that record temperature data for places that are 30-40km from where they state. Or are in bad locations, like next to cold mountain rivers. Or are in the shade for 80% of the day, or other inane things.
Beh. I liken most of this stuff to the jump in autism. Sure there's been a jump, because the diagnosis standard was changed. In turn, of course we're seeing a difference and warmer weather. We have more stations(well kinda), in fact some countries are removing a lot of them. But in others, they're so poorly placed they're useless.
Samsung's lawyers failed to do their job when he was selected as a juror.
Perhaps not. The real problem is where the trial was being held. I mean really, this would be about the same as getting a jury pool for a murder, from the people in the same neighborhood they lived. Or heck a jury for kiddie diddler, from the same neighborhood. It was a poor choice of venue, which makes me question why there.
No, it's not incorrect. I could dig through nearly a decade of news stories and posts and find repeats of what I just said. Where people, articles, and even scientists have said that the sun has no variation on the temperature as a whole.
Then again, in those special cases where posts like yours come up perhaps we need a "group think" moderation label.
So, you're saying that 50 years of data is enough, when the agu article disagrees with that statement. You did read the brief and perhaps the paper listed there right? Because if you did, the first thing you'd find is that your statement is inaccurate.

No tinfoil required.

Don't worry, Apple no matter what can do no wrong. Never any wrong. Just ask the people making Apple stuff who keep jumping to their deaths.
Yep works fine. This is what my uncle does, he works in heavy industry and in the very rare case when he has to do this that's what he does. He gets his backside shipped all over this rock fixing heavy machinery for the company he works for, and usually get treated by "x company" while there. Sometimes they have odd rules, one of the compounds he was staying at in Jordan no less, where they put him up to stay had a rule about no electronics inside. Which of course made no sense.
