When you figure out how to do that, let me know. I'm sure you are far smarter than anybody else who's ever tried to do that. You are the key to our peaceful utopia.
OK, in the time that it took bears to evolve into bears from marmots, humans evolved from marmots into a space-faring species with advanced tool-making and environment modifying abilities.
Even with the bear's thousands of years of evolutionary progress, tremendous strength, and impressive cunning, I can still kill a bear (or any other creature on the planet) at my whim with minimal risk to myself.
Just another perspective.
Of course, the suit is not designed to kill bears. It is designed to protect humans who study bears. How many bears study humans more thoroughly than what is necessary to tip over a trash can looking for food?
That's not really pacifism, though. Or, if it is, it's the sort of morally bankrupt pacifism where you let other people do your dirty work for you.
However, that's not really the case. Canada has a distinguished tradition of military excellence, even though they are not among the largest or richest armed services on the planet.
I think the fact that there was a WAR right before the reconstruction projects makes your argument a poor one.
War is part of the human condition. It is inevitable. So far, the only effective way to prevent war has been to make it too horrible to imagine fighting. Th second most effective way (which hasn't been too effective) is to be so incredibly GOOD at fighting war, nobody wants to fuck with you.
So. In any case, investment in weapons development is a better bet than investing in hugs and teddy bears.
When driving is required for the pursuit of the average person's daily life, freedom from surveillance while doing it is in fact a fundamental human right.
I think the T600's do that today. But to me, that's not an issue of multithreading, but handing off the radio communications to the phone processor. If it's all happening in software, well, that seems kinda silly to me.
Anyhow, it seems like modern smartphones pretty much don't have this limitation.
You proceed from the assumption that I think that visible licensing systems is a public good. I do not. I think an automated license tracking system is infinitely worse.
I thought things that got bigger were referred to as "growing".
I'm trying to figure out two things. a) what part of speech do you think "grow" is and b) what verb would be acceptable to you for "make something bigger".
2. Use a headset. Propping a mobile phone by your ear with your shoulder isn't easy anyway, so you're probably using a headset anytime you're doing something that requires two hands.
I really wish I understood your objection. I've used PalmOS for about four years now, and I can't for the life of me figure out why task switching is a feature. Not like it's got enough display room to effectively use two windows...
Any given police officer might absolutely be a public servant of integrity and character, I certainly won't dispute that.
However, there are ALWAYS bad apples, whether "bad apple" means a dishonest cop, or simply an overzealous one. ("Cop" might also be "intelligence officer" or "federal agent" or "MiB".)
The Constitution was designed based on the distrust of authority. Any time we erode that distrust, we lose our freedoms, and that is a Bad Thing.
By then, it will be too late. This is the thin end of the wedge.
Surveillance is an infringement of my civil liberties, period. Unless there is an OVERWHELMING need for it (which there's not) it is never acceptable to surveil the general populace. It's a matter of principle.

What a pretty thing to think.

I really hope you don't get mugged.

Please provide historical examples of spending money trying to understand "bad men" preventing said "bad men" from making war on weaker neighbors.
Unless and until you do that, I'll trust the freakin' lasers more than I trust your "Give peace a chance" rhetoric.
I'm all for finding diplomatic solutions whenever possible. However, to pretend like it's always possible is to be a poor student of history.
What, you mean like Presidents of the United States? What bizarre behavior. It's almost like people let them get away with it or something.
Do it again. Come on. This time, you'll feel better about yourself. Really!
Computer languages are defined by...what? Compilers. And compilers are...what?
I'll let you figure out the rest.
What kind of idiot would confuse a freakin' computer program with a child?
He wasn't trying to draw a straight line. He was trying to draw an anti-aliased crooked line.

You read funny.
What part of "Shall not be infringed" is difficult for you to understand? The other clause does not modify "shall not be infringed".
Call me crazy, but I consider it a phone if I can make telephone calls on it. I don't understand what other criterion might be relevant.
1. Yes.
2. Use a headset. Propping a mobile phone by your ear with your shoulder isn't easy anyway, so you're probably using a headset anytime you're doing something that requires two hands.
If you think the Treos are expensive, don't go look at the Sony Ericsson smartphones (P800/900). You'll shit yourself.

However, Graffiti 2 is way better at not getting them sued for patent infringement. Unfortunately.
Can't run my HP48 emulator.
Can't run Pocket Quicken.
Can't run my bridge scoring utility, or my disc golf scoring utility, or SkyChart, or YAUC.
Symbian is a great platform, but you can't beat the software support of PalmOS.
Have you seen the two movies I mentioned? I sure wouldn't let my kid watch Grave of the Fireflies unsupervised...

Compromising one little liberty now is going to mean more liberties are compromised later. Why not fight it when it's teeny?
