"Give us money for a new stadium or we'll move away."
Why cant the city build its own stadium, and make the proceeds go to the city. As someone not familiar with any of these city-sports teams, I am curious.
Exactly, the technology for anonymous virtual currency already exists. But the Govt would never back such a complete anonymity. Taxation, the backbone of the govt, would be tough to enforce. Hawalas and scammers would enjoy. Now if somewhere to develop a semi-anonymous currency (like cash, with enough effort, you could probably trace it), then we probably can hope for Govt backing.
Stealth aircraft have a large radar signature than raindrops. Most are atleast golf ball sized. If the radar can process so much information (which I doubt), then yeah they can detect stealth aircraft.
US is closer to Britain, but it doesnt mean it is easier to extradite from Britain. US can simply request a temporary transfer of Assange from Swedish police. If the Swedish police dept agrees to it, US gets Assange. If they had to do it from Britain, they need a UK court to agree to it. I doubt that will ever happen, since what Assange did is not illegal in UK.
Many people hold dual citizenship. Renouncing your citizenship is not a requirement to get a US citizenship. So GP could at point have held a Colombian citizenship, then obtained US citizenship. US law or Colombian law does not require renouncing Colombian citizenship.
It's rape by the legal definition of the country charging him, which as far as I'm aware, is all that's necessary.
And what's this "english language definition" jingoistic crap? What does that have to do with anything? Are non-english speakers somehow incapable of deciding what the definition of rape is in their legal system?
Even then, it needs to be under quotes. It denotes that this is the Swedish legal version of rape and not the regular definition of rape.
I dont want it to be a human, that is exactly why I am suggesting rabbits as alternatives.
Why is your life worth more than that of a rabbit?
Because I human. Humans have evolved to value a human life more than a rabbits life. Human are naturally social creatures, we connect with fellow human beings. We feel empathy towards the suffering/joy of a fellow human. We are not naturally empathetic to rabbits, it offer no evolutionary advantage. We have also killed rabbits for food for quite a long time. So to summarize, as a human, I value a fellow human's, and my own life (because of the survival instinct I guess) more than a rabbit.
Is a murderer's life worth more than that of a rabbit? Why?
Yes, see above reasons. Murderer is still human.
What if YOU were one of those rabbits? When did you choose to be born a human, and how?
If I were a rabbit, I wouldnt be answering these silly questions. I would look at strange humans, and wonder what they are upto. Then suffer and die.
I am not sure if this test requires suffering. But I would be fine with animals suffering if they are used for real research. The tests have to be performed on *someone*. I would rather it be animals than some uneducated african suffering during clinical tests.
This is something that could save a lot of lives. I am perfectly fine with it. Now, if you are taking about cosmetics research (the one that has the most demand for rabbits), I agree. It is cruel.
Most cops are not trained to understand how these tests work and what exactly they should watch out for. So yeah, there arent worth shit. I have failed these tests twice so far, when sober and fully alert and awake. The first time, I completed the standard tests and the officer asked me say the alphabets backwards. I missed a letter (or two), and office noted and went ahead with the breathalyser test. The second time, I had a slight fumble at about 25 seconds in the stand on one leg test. Again, the office used it as an excuse to get the breath test done.
To add to that, if you are looking for a ready-made solution, Ghostery is worth a look. It claims to block these, but I am not really familiar with how it works.
Yeah most websites have a separate static domain to improve caching. But it does not take long to get to a point where one do not even notice RequestPolicy running. I have whitelisted all request from google & duckduckgo, and all request to most common cdns, and about 300 pairs of source and destination domains (most of these are for news websites). It took me a week to reach very good usability, but after the first week, you rarely notice it.
By "having access to the records", OP means the US govt (or a US court, under the request of some party, say RIAA) can subpoena the records. Not at all misleading.
When I've seen it, the hate comes from the immigrant selling his wares at triple the normal price because his customers have no other store and he acts like a total ass.
Well you already have your answer, he is living the American way of life. The ability to do that was probably the reason he legally migrated here.
And it's annoying as hell when you go into a store and the clerk doesn't speak a word of English, but these folks aren't likely to be here legally.
Speaking English is not a requirement at all to migrate to US. Very often, these people are parents/relatives of legally immigrated folks. It is stupid/retarded of them to not learn English, but no reason to be racist against them.
They are hated for different reasons. The legal immigrants (students, high-tech H1B workers, entrepreneurs) are hated for taking our jobs. As long as unemployment stays at present rate, we will see more of this. The illegal immigrants are hated for using up state welfare facilities and consuming hard earned tax money. Then, as one of the siblings posted, there is occasional display of racism.
Because thickness between two fan blades is hardly thousandth of an inch. There is literally lot of air flowing in the space and speed is way higher than anything seen on fan blades. Also there are spots on fan blades that see very good air flow and there are spots that see very little. The ones that see very little, tend to accumulate dust overtime.

But people do have the right to voice their displeasure and hope for (or start) a new service that does not have these flaws.

IBM Tokyo is not responsible for managing Tokyo's traffic.
Well the US does not have any Gen III reactors. So you dont have to worry about pesky Chinese using stolen American technology.
Buy it used.

Humans hardly produce significant methane. Are you sure, they were not looking for cows, cockroaches or termites?

Thank you. The whole thing finally makes some sense!
