All moral concerns aside, it is also not sustainable.
If you sell a kidney in your youth, you will probably have kidney problems further in life and need a kidney transplant, in addition to all the other cases not related with early donation.
The demand will be higher than supply in a matter of decades.
After reading TFA there is one thing that leaves me mighty confused.
The only hypothesis made for these artifacts is that they were weapons or parts of bigger weapons, and that they led to a military advantage over neanderthals. TFA doesn't even consider any other possibile use for the bladelets, like being tools for skinning, carving or sculpting. Even the requirement of having developed complex language is secondary to the craftsmanship necessary for the bladelets.
I've seen it is common among some anthropologists to consider the history of humanity in the same terms as the most recent history (last 6.000 years): in terms of war and contending parties. Is there anyone informed enough (more than me) about this topic that can tell if it is actually a trait of human history or an ideological bias? Thanks in advance.
Me thoughts exactly! I don't even think it would be any easier to secure that mess instead of a single browser. Not to mention you would STILL need some kind of browser for general purpose.
8 is clearly not a multitasking os, the UI focuses on one application at a time. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, it matches a tipical use of a tablet, for example. If you want to multitask, the desktop is still there, but it's not the main focus. If on the other hand you need to do complex work, just go with traditional Win7. I presonally think they both will live side-by-side and happily ever after.
I find the title of TFS very, very low standard. It's so prone to misinterpretation, it took me quite some time to get it, despite I've alredy seen the message in my browser.

There is no scientifically objective basis for determining "evil".
... there is no objective good or evil.
I agree on this one.
BUT it doesn't mean that if it's not in science then it's junk, tho. Science has limitations, as honest scientists admit. Ethics don't belong to science, I hope more people could understant this.
But please, try and convince me that "killing people isn't wrong, it's just retarded"
You had me interested until "There is no good and evil".
VERY elaborate troll, good work.
I hope you don't actually want me to elaborate, since you're so much off on so much levels; I'll just point the most obvious:
Pedo material (on a computer) are just bits => pedo material on a printed medium is just paper? Oh, have I already mentioned that to have pedo material on your pc someone, somewhere a child has been harassed (at the least), AND someone, somewhere has harassed a child? There is still "no good and evil"?
2nd: If someone exterminated your family that would be bad, wouldn't it? Still no good and evil?
3rd: Choice. You're ignoring the very root of human nature. "Getting rid of the idea of criminal responsibility" is like removing human nature from human beings. What's left are automata (which is in line with your post)
Bonus Ponts: "Neuroscience will soon reveal all about the brain" HAHAHA! No. Don't count on it anytime soon ("soon" as in my "grandchildern lifespan"). It actually might be impossibile, but who knows.
workrave has been my companion for years now.
It's great, when I use it, but there are times (often) when i'm too absorbed in whatever I am doing to let it distract me.
But the times i'm paying attention, it's a noticable productivity boost and my bones feel better.
My setup:
20 second pause every 20 mins
7,5 min pause every hour
8h max per day (go figure)
Author discusses potographers being biased, right?
There is no such thing as being objective in information. The only honest stance a medium can take is to clearly state it's bias.
A photographer is biased just for covering a situation. Why isn't he covering something else? Why did he choose to cover that event instead of another?
Author is some decades late for common sense. Maybe the only meaningful/interesting thing he states is that photographers are part of the events, modifing the way people act. Also, the way the author states it, they are modifing the way people act in relation to the photographers. Even tho i can imagine ways where things go different (e.g. cops going rampage, since there's no coverage, and such)
Also, his UNstated point is: SOME photographers are muslim, so they are probably siding with the Palestinians.
TFA is rather clear about these two points:
1. The intercepted communications were videos FROM the drone TO the cq.
2. The system is off the net, they need to plug external hard drives to tranfer said videos and other data.
...of military security holes'n'breaches. It definetly deserves a read, or at least a glimpse. It's not just stuxnet and finely crafted computer warfare, it may be plain old viruses and tojans we deal with every day.
I, for one, welcome the fact that the Lulz are not just a buch of common vandals, but in fact are a bunch if libertarians or, at least, anti-racists. Until now I didn't actually fancy their actions, but mere techincal ability, but now I see there's more to it.
This is very wrong.
As far as anyone can know there is no correlation between the GeoHot affair and this one.
Also if that personal data is exposed it'd harm large parts of that same comunity.
Unless this id theft was organized only to prove a point (which is very very unlikely imo), this is no more that a plain theft. As in made by criminals.
Only upside is that it exposed security issues, maybe as a lesson for the future. Or maybe not.

Don't.
Really. There are SO MANY BETTER TOPICS to explore instead of wasting time with this... mess.
Pretty please.

No.

BWAHAHAHAHAHahhaah, no.
Can someone please translate that shit to plain English?
What does the patented "Rubber Banding" do and how important this single invalidation is?
Do you even know what gives Apache Software Foundation its name?
Yeah, it's almost extinct by now... we should just euthanise it.

Thank you.
The catch is: if it's so well worth your praise, it's not so common (among scientists).
Scientists (not this case) can prove some of the most oscuratist, closed-minded dicks. Sigh.
Really.
These things will be awesome, and now, people can write them themselves!

+1 for the editor for TFS.

I'm curious what's the next move.
Agreed.
I fail to see what is interesting in this story.
you've waited 12 years already.
The game is rated 17+.
You just realized you could have been five years old when they started it and play it when it comes out.
Hmm.. I wonder howmuch will it take to develop that one fundamental part of any language. Swearing.
oh shit! Google accidentally my voice data!
