The group of people that use photoshop is pretty small,
I assume you've heard of these internet "memes" from time to time, have you not? And, you've heard there are often heavily-visited sites where you can post "memes" for others to jest and guffaw at. And you are also aware that most of these pictures are produced through "photoshopping."
So, I think you're not only flat wrong . . . but hilariously so.
I did some reading, and the charges have more to do with creating a perception that the earthquake risk was remote and being negligent in their duty to keep the people educated
Oh, MY GOD. That isn't even a charge, or a crime.
Here's what the folks in L'Aquila have just earned: a rapid defection of scientists on the public payroll because they are now afraid to say, or not say, anything. Because an event that can't actually be predicted under any interpretation happened when they didn't expect it.
These IDIOTS have done a serious amount of damage to people who were trying to help them. FUCK EM ALL, seriously. Fucking MORONS.
It's nearly impossible to make a law that applies equally to everyone, because we're all different, in different situations. Companies, even more s
You say this, but you provide zero evidence that it is so. I'm not sure if you're making a distinction between the law or the corrupt system under which it is implemented, because those are two different problems.
On the topic of could we stop patent abuse, sure we could. Hire more and better patent clerks, pay them a proper wage and encourage them to spend time researching so that they are patenting things that are actually innovative, not just different
Make the process of getting a patent for a real innovation trivial in cost, and the expense of making a bogus patent claim uncompromisingly huge.
I think that would about cover it, though the devil is in the details. Laws are not like computer programs. When written in clear language they do not require complex debugging.
Oh, the final ingredient in this mix is to write the law clearly.
It is transfer but its really only transfer between Wall Street Entities. There is a great deal of hand ringing about HFT but I don't see much evidence it does anything to your typical retail investor.
The fact that this horseshit goes on, is one reason I'll never invest in the stock market. I'd just as soon take my paycheck and sign it over to a Las Vegas casino.
Is Correlative science the only thing that gets done anymore?
Well, it is easier to do a quick study of how 50% of people are of below-average intelligence, than it is to figure out what causes paranoia or depression, after all. I have a feeling that the reason we see so much of this kind of relatively-useless crap is that it generates headlines and gets people up in arms about stuff, whereas actual conclusions often turn out to be boring and infrequent, unless they are revolutionary.
I see no significant opposition from the democrats, so there's no point in trying to discuss only half the picture.
No because they've only been trying to keep the fuckwit retards of the Teabag Party from shutting down our entire country for the last two years.
While I'm admittedly bothered by this, this is a direct result of caving to the "we're too BROOOOOKE" mythology of the retard right that can always find a hundred billion or two to start a fucking war, but has a full-blown hissyfit meltdown when someone tries to fund health insurance for poor kids.
In other words, you don't see any significant oppo from the Dems because they've been fighting a gridlocked, deliberately-sabotaged government for several years now.
But, trying to actually understand what is going on in your little world is probably too much effort, judging from the laziness of your thinking.
Halliburton: Endangering American Lives, With Taxpayer Dollars!
God, if there were ever a corporation that needed to be dissolved in a vat of acid and the remains scattered to the far corners of the earth, Halliburton is it. They are the epitome of casual, incompetent, expensive evil.
Well, it could be that he's trolling on behalf of the anti-union folks in this country who would just as soon see us return to slave labor, and his account is bullshit meant to terrify people who know nothing about unions into avoiding them at all costs.
Why don't you get the directions beforehand and memorize the route? Have people really become so lazy and mentally dull that they can't do this any more?
GPS helps you get around bad traffic, which is why when recently the Sherman-Minton bridge across the Ohio river was closed for several painful months, I used my GPS every single day to go to work, randomly choosing side streets until I found a way to get through all the insanity that I could depend on getting me there in a certain amount of time.
Of course, I suppose it would have been better for you if I had memorized the entire road system of Southern Indiana's metro area, but I actually have work to do that doesn't involve arrogantly critiquing how everyone else accomplishes things, so I saved some fucking time.
In the other study, A Wayne State study by Richard Young, Ph.D, found that procedural errors in the seminal research vastly over estimated the risk.
I think most of the anti-cell phone hype has been driven by people who find talking on the phone in public distasteful. When you peel away their rhetoric, they just fucking hate other people being on the phone. I'm sure there's some kind of reason for this, but it is irrelevant to me.
With cell phone usage exploding from nothing to almost total saturation in the course of just a couple of decades, the dire warnings that we're all drunk drivers now would seem to have necessitated a noticeable increase in accidents, which didn't happen.
The real answer to worries about driving while talking is to take the wheel out of the driver's hands and give it to a robot. Most people are not skilled drivers. They should just let a machine do it for them, while they relax and play fucking sudoku or something.
The planet is going to do what it will, no matter what we think or do
Bullshit. We have the power to re-shape our world. That has been demonstrated. That our environment is ALSO capricious is not an excuse for shitting in our own water, eating our own seed corn, and befouling our own air.
Figures an anonymous coward posted this -- don't quite have the balls to say it with your name attached, do ya?
Of course, anonymous coward in your case also equals ignorant retard. That's one thing that's really frustrating about racism -- the people who practice it seem to actually be mentally deficient in addition to being hateful fucks who serve no purpose on the planet, except possibly as landfill or speed bumps. You almost feel sorry for people so rigorously stupid, but then you don't. It's like a grown man who is continuously crapping his pants and running around, showing off how badly he stinks, as if he's got something to be proud of.
Of course you could be a troll, but since it is impossible to tell a troll from a flaming fuckwit stupid, there's no real difference.
Those things should have been done in 2002 for their 2005 launch date (which was already late). This thing has turned into a huge overrun of budget.
Compared to any military project, I am sure NASA's budget overruns are miniscule. It's too bad military projects aren't subject to this kind of scrutiny. I'm sure the taxpayer would save billions.

It's down to you and me, Mr. Anonymous Coward. Welcome to Slashdot.

It's the kind of car a cartoon coyote, who is also a super-genius, might create.
All in the name of catching that skinny bird.

Given that Helium is the second-most-abundant element in the fucking universe it most certainly is.
It's a manufactured shortage born out of FREE-MARKET STUPIDITY, furthermore.
Computer: Sic balls!
I bitched about that once. Turns out, they are killing time while your screen comes up from their glacially-slow system.
Obviously they hand it out to incompetent fuckwits like Halliburton.

Yes. Really.
Actually, it does since it is factual and true. Perhaps you should try meeting some women.
