Just last week I found myself playing Duck Hunt briefly, for the first time in probalby around 18 years. Is there any equivalent sort of game on any other system? I don't see how that genre could have possibly been a dead end.
It's quite funny really hearing the bit about a more moral spokesman when half of the USA is listening in wonder to the deranged words of a former cocaine addict on Fox.
"AS MANY NAMES AS THEY COULD."
Even you are implicitly admitting they did not succeed in redacting them all, and as a consequence, Wikileaks told the Taliban who to kill.
Wrong. If I were attempting to place infected links onto a slashdot forum, I would probably use something targeting Linux, as it has a significant market share in this community, and the targets tend to be more confident that they won't get viruses.
Most Western countries have birth rates at or below the replacement rate. Those with positive population growth only have it because of immigration and/or an increase in life span. Those with birth rates above replacement usually only have it because the immigrants who come in tend to produce more babies than the natives, at least for the first generation or two.
Because immigration (at least in the US, although not as much throughout Europe) is enough to keep the population growing, the only way to limit carbon from the countries with the most CO2 per capita is to limit it. In short, in order to help poor countries survive the next century, we will have to forcibly deny them a future they would rather have. Terrible logic.
If you read the original context of the article, it clearly states:
Apple has paid $1 billion to developers. Seventy percent of app sales goes to developers (the other 30 percent going to Apple).
It is clear that the $1B is referring to the money users paid for the apps. Apple says that they paid it b/c it is given to Apple and then immediately forwarded to the developers.
Neither. It's readily visible the way you just mashed your keyboard, in a rather nonrandom fashion. Dividing the left handed keystrokes from the right handed ones, you get:
erg ergerg erergerg greg erererg
and
jpoijpoij hoihoiuh nnuhoihh poiuhiuhoihh hhoiuhih
The 'erg' pattern is near universal with slight variations, and the combination of poiujh (in that order), usually missing one or two of the letters, describes well the vast mojority of the keystrokes with your right hand.
Each user is quizzed on facts about their friends that happen to be online (the account is locked to prevent you looking that stuff up) and whoever knows the least stuff about their friends gets kicked. The online friends judge which is the real user.
The spambot would win. It would just download all the data from the friends first, and then answer the questions with ease. The AI necessary to answer a question from a limited pool of information shouldn't be so complicated.
As a non-athiest, I just want to inform you that probably an equal percentage of my type also feel the need to be smug assholes. I'm a huge fan of agnostics as a result.
There was no 'big rush', the documents were in the hands of reporters for months prior to public release for fuck sake.
And why aren't you buying that it's not the US military's fault? They were given a pretty simple choice; help us redact or risk sensitive information falling through. A simple choice. No rush.
So, you're basically saying that Assange told the military something along the lines of "if you don't redact this information, I will release it anyway, and these innocent people mentioned in these papers will likely be killed."
To say it more concisely, what Assange was saying was essentially "if you don't comply with my demands, these innocent people will die." Wow. He should be shot with Bin Laden.
We complain enough about government bloat. Would you like have to hire 1,000 auditors to review all this information, and another 100 vetters to vet them, and another 10 vetters to vet those vetters? Most of the documents released by wikileaks were the sort that are compiled quickly at a debriefing, and just thrown into a 'classified' bin, often never looked at again. To have the government review everything by default, is kinda psychotic. The FOIA gives the public a means to review classified documents of interest and see if they they should still be kept secret. It might be understaffed with years of backlog, but it's a lot of information.
Look up "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission"
It happened in January 2010 and gave corporations first amendment rights.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The freedom of the speech and press is clearly not associated with "the people", who are only mentioned in the subsequent clause. Thus, I don't see how any interpretation of the first amendment could possibly not give corporations first amendment rights. Even an argument that the founding fathers did not know that corporations could have such power and should be given limited speech does not make sense. There were corporations even during the time of the founding fathers that were farmore powerful than all of the Fortune 100 combined.
Given the way the first amendment is worded, you can make an argument that corporations are not constitutionally given the right to assemble or petition the government. However, to say that freedoms of the press can be limited by the government in any capacity whatsoever, is not really possible..
I think it's already doing that, at least in engineering circles; I can think in either pounds or kilograms equally fluently, and for more abstract measurements like power, I only think in SI. As for how long it will be until other start to intuitively think in SI, there are still people in England who think of their mass in Stones.
They took out significant portions of the footage where the troops actually stopped firing because there were people who were clearly civilians nearby, amongst other things.

Do you mean Glen Beck, or Barack Obama?

But is much safer to be feared (to paraphrase Machiavelli).

I think your post is the only one not saying something to the effect of "duh". Thank you.

Easy! The Supreme Court.

Given that China also has about 20% of the world's people, doesn't this article simply mean that China is more or less average?
