I don't know who people are getting their weed from, but this sounds ridiculous to me. Google seems to have a lot of hits on the glass weed issue, but I'm unable to determine in a quick search whether this is real or just paranoia and urban legend. If you can't find some reputable people to deal with, you probably shouldn't be buying anything from them.
Um, you can't. It might be available to you, but so was online poker at one point. The legalities either haven't been pushed through the courts or, more likely, the feds have not decided to exert their immense pressure on these on line betting places.
That dudes site has a timeline of the "history of email". He actually puts "pre EMAIL"(he's the one that uses all caps) going back to 1961. What a tool. This seems akin to someone saying they invented physical mail because they started the post office. The idea had been around and in use prior, but it didn't have the same feature set. Seriously, WTF?
George Lucas must be dumber than I thought if he really thought there was a 50/50 chance of survival. What kind of odds does he give for being in a fridge while it gets hit by a 18 wheeler going 70 mph? Gotta be a 80%+ chance of survival compared to the nuclear blast.
Hold your horses here. The victim in TFA was not robbed either. The victim paid the scammer, just like a John would pay a hooker. Don't forget that in most jurisdictions both situations are crimes and the hooker or scammer would be breaking a law. The only difference is that the John is also breaking a law, while the scam victim was just tricked.
This whole thing sounds like a typical double cross. This woman partnered up with some Nigerians to scam the money, but had it worked out in a way to keep it all for herself.
They will gladly arrive at the courthouse at the agreed upon date, but they will need some help. They need you to front them some money for a plane ticket so that they can get this $33000 back and split that with you.
We aren't talking about some bum in New York City living off the government. We are talking about people in poor countries where them providing something economically useful nets them about $1 a day.
A successful scam is enterprising and clever. Its the dishonest and illegal parts people disagree with.
Why doesn't the TSA declare a no fly zone over Alaska if this law passes? I'd love to see them try that. The state has small planes everywhere and flying is the only way to get to many places. A no-fly zone would force people to choose to either fly to get supplies or possibly starve in the middle of nowhere. That would be some wonderful PR for the TSA.
It seems to me Santorum is confusing Science with Technology. He says things about using resources and improving quality of life. Science can help with that, but science is also learning about the effects those things have on the world.
Consider my comment 100% baseless then. For some reason I was thinking it was some kind of phone that plugged into a tablet body and shared processor power. Now that I think about it, that doesn't make a lot of sense.
There are plenty of animal activists that are against doing exactly what you say (population control). Aerial wolf hunts in Alaska are regularly protested by them. These hunts aren't for sport, they are to reduce the population of an apex predator to prevent population crashes in prey species like moose and caribou. People seem to really catch on to the aerial idea and claim it would be okay on foot. They say this knowing that the locations are so remote no one will be out there wolf hunting on foot and then no wolves will get shot.
Game management is a complex system. Using hunting for the purposes of culling (usually used if a predator species is too numerous) can be combined with some peoples desires to shoot an animal for sport.
Hypothetical situation. A hunter kills a wolf. His desire was purely to kill a wolf for a trophy and the experience. He was allowed to do it because of an overpopulation in the area. That overpopulation would have led to wolves starving and dying a slow death in winter due to lack of food sources. The small picture here is that an animal was shot and killed for fun and sport. If you look at the whole picture, that wolf that was shot was going to suffer a meager death and was spared. In addition, the deer in the area will not have a population crash from overpredation by wolves.
Is it okay to shoot a few wolves for sport if it benefits the remaining wolves and their prey species?
Generally, there are laws against shooting across a roadway. I believe its set by the state. If you are interested in a particular state I suggest you search for it. It's doubtful someone will post a state by state summary of gun laws here for you.
IANAL, but I believe shooting across a roadway is a lesser violation, opposed to say using a firearm in an armed robbery. Gun laws can carry serious penalties so I would suggest people become familiar with their rights before hand.
Yes, and it sounds like they are just complaining to try and get attention to this story. It's like a kid hitting his sibling and then complaining to his parents when he gets hit back.
I was under the impression that the Atrix was a touchscreen tablet that would use the Unity interface. That would be touchscreen but not small form factor. Canonical undoubtedly realized during the development of this that Unity was not well suited to very small form factors, or they knew that all the rest of the user software would not be well suited to running in Unity on a phone size device and found the Android GUI to be a better experience on a phone.
Some of the oldest living plants today are over 4000 years old. Theoretically then, 30,000 years could be covered by 8 generations of one of these extremely long-living plants.
Why have most people decided that the current ecosystems on Earth are as they should be forever? It seems like there is this desire to correct anything that results in population balance changes. Do we really think that we can stop all environmental and evolutionary change on Earth forever?
Things have been changing for a long time with and without our direct intervention.
Invasive species suck sometimes. They can cause a loss in species diversity. They can also be a tremendous driving force for adaptation by the struggling native species. Every species could have been considered invasive at some point in history or they would have never become established. I'm not condoning wanton spreading of species around the world, but I don't think it's going to cause some sort of complete ecological collapse if some weed starts growing in peoples backyards.
Naming aside, it is an actual university. The name just does not include that word. The common definition of a university is a school for higher learning that has a graduate division that awards masters and doctorate degrees as well as an undergraduate division.
Yes, Commonly referred to as Georgia Tech. Considering the summary did not capitalize the word "university" they may have said "Georgia Tech university" and meant: "Georgia Tech, which happens to be a university". Your attention to details of the English language make me question any association you may have to the school.
The article does not mention it at all, but I would wager this was actually done at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
I agree with these sorts of solutions to stop bots. It works on sites I've put together because none of them were very high profile for spam attacks. Get a site that is worth it for spammers to crack and they probably will.
IIRC, eBay does all sorts of javascript loads and changes their HTML layouts commonly to reduce screen scrapers from crawling auctions. This cuts down on the problem, but people are still able to find a way to do it if they want it enough.
Yang said the company had been developing a tablet product called the iPad back in 2000.
"We spent a lot of resources on it. It's the same concept as the iPad today, except that back then, there were practically no LCD screens," Yang said.
LOL an iPad with no LCD? How the hell would that work?
Well, He said practically no LCDs. There were definitely LCDs around in 2000. This may also be a translation issue and he was suggesting that lack of availability of LCDs is what stopped them from proceeding.
Yes, lets make a stupid law that you can't use a computer to do audio and image analysis. I'm sure we'll have some sort of airtight clause about "only for CAPTCHAS" that will prevent that law from being perverted to stop legitimate uses of image recognition. I mean, we wouldn't want anyone but the federal government doing video analysis would we.
What does breaking CAPTCHAs really do that's so bad to society? Comment quality goes down due to spam? a ticket scalper buys up a bunch of tickets to an event on Ticketmaster? I fail to see any major need for an additional law to stop this. You don't want spam on your message boards? Don't let ACs post, and ban users that spam.
When the melt value of pennies and nickels got close to the current point the govt passed legislation outlawing melting of pennies and nickels and exporting large amounts to be melted elsewhere is also a no-no.
