... is this guy suggesting you shoot the TSA agent for taking your water bottle? leaving aside the fact that you knew you'd have to forfeit your bottle before you bought your ticket... does he imagine that this will somehow, let you fly?
you want those rights? convince enough people that they're important, and when enough people make a stink the legislature will legislate a gaurantee for privacy. until then, it's up for grabs.
:) so you're chopping your parents decision in half and are only presenting the part that wasn't terrible? and you're using it as an example of "wisdom"?
way to undermine yourself.
"he decided to leave the US by blowing himself up, shows them, can't take his liberties" - wise decisions
no you wouldn't. they'd have to determine that you called for imminent violence and that a reasonable person would have anticipated it.
If you say that MLP dolls are on sale, and it causes a stampede where kids are trampled to death, you're fine. If you tell a group of your fanatic MLP followers to go go fuck up a store and to let none of those kids in their way stop them from getting their hands on swag. you'd probably be looking at a lot of jail time.
terrible example. america has has a race issue for the better part of 3 centuries. longer than it's existed. the legacy of slavery impacts race relations to this day.
Our president is black, and people were wondering if he was a real american... It was a huge thing for a reason.
i'm fairly sure germany has effectively outlawed the national socialist party. that's solved one problem, but they have a bit to learn about free speech.

competition for real estate on our skin and in our gut by benign flora is one of our basic immunological defenses. it was an example of competition for one of those basic resources, space.
again. my point wasn't not to look. My point was that until you find something, it's really not worth mentioning. especially since they don't really talk about novel techniques at all outside of a paywall.
At this point, the main topic of the article is pure speculation, the journal publication may be more focused on technique, and i seriously hope it is, but Science lists it as "Perspective" so you know, fingers crossed. The claim made in the article has as much positive evidence as aliens. The title is sensationalist, and everybody except maybe the actual authors of the paper do a poor job of summarizing their work. Also it's 2 pages, so that better be some dense fucking prose to get into any detail of any actual science.
There's are place for novel techniques to be discussed in a niche field. Conferences and lab meetings. This probably doesn't belong on slashdot because it's light on actual news, light on details and... wait never mind, whens that ever stopped things from being on slashdot? Being published already puts it in front of the eyes it would need to be put in front of. This isn't ready for public consumption.
I'd be more than happy to read about truly novel techniques, but i'm odd that way, and this article doesn't actually talk about any.
pc does actually stand for something you know. Just because it's been shorthanded to "windows" doesn't mean the original definition isn't still valid. Also, the newest definition is being delineated in the pc vs console continuum vs the pc vs linux vs mac continuum.
I wasn't complaining that they were looking for it. I was complaining that it was worth reporting on. Looking in the unlooked at corners is standard practice. As far as i know.
The deep waters are inhabited by our cousins, as are the boundaries of space. Inside rocks, inside boiling sea vents. The very idea that some things outcompete others is one of our basic immunological defenses.
That we haven't seen something already, on the bacterial stage at least. Seems to indicate that our current scheme had some competitive advantage over others in the distant past. Or we would have found a bit more evidence of radical genetic diversity. That means for the most part that we could only find these kinds of organisms in extremely isolated environments. Which is why i brought up the extremophiles.
the bottom of the ocean, is pretty damn connected to the rest of the ocean. Competition is fierce for resources. And unless you can suck down sulphur compounds you're going to have to compete with everybody else for scraps.
I doubt you'll find much outside of novel viruses because bacteria infest every corner of our world. around you, on you, inside you, above you and below you.
my point being, they're not reporting a new discovery of any kind. they're announcing the start of a new line of inquiry... which, you know is exactly the thing that you do when you're not satisfied with the old line of inquiry.
the title and summary are specifically highlighting that scientists think other life forms exist that may be more novel than we previously thought.
my question would be... did this thought just occur to you? that maybe we don't know everything about the way life can be expressed? it's news that some people have suddenly decided to stumble upon a realization that most people have already had?
my first thought when reading the article was "no duh"
looking for signs of life that we don't really understand is a wild goose chase. We know that life as we know it... you know works, we can't check for every type of "maybe" that exists.

we spy on them, they spy on us. :) trust but verify. It's the most conservative and safest way to operate on the international stage.

to be fair,
"Lincoln faked his own assassination, travelled forward through time and became Adolf Hitler."
i would be very interested in this movie.
i apologize for nothing.
Dirty hippies, and dirty rednecks.
US is great, it's not perfect, but you know... if men were angels.
each law on the books is one more restriction on your liberty.
it's never used? then purge it.
no you wouldn't. they'd have to determine that you called for imminent violence and that a reasonable person would have anticipated it.

I can't deny the holocaust in germany. they still have something to learn about liberty.
did they infect this time?
always knew water was out to get me, now i've got proof.
not that many out-of-the-way places left to look... except inside things, and talk about hostile environments that bacteria dominate.
:) :)
i wonder how they knew where to look?

:) one real question. FF on? one thing that i never got over. FF off going mainstream. Covies just lost so much playability after that.
god, i loved the fact that in that game, it was most often the right choice to kill/revive your teammates rather than throw down med packs.
medpacks are for me... see this frighteningly big sickeningly green syringe... that's for you, after i kill you just a little.
personally i don't have a problem with that.
I really would like someone to make a good wolf ET clone. that would be baller.
that was my previous go-to. left it after i upgraded my computer.
played on a single server for the better part of a year... but the community was a bit too small by the time i left.
I played that game until the game could not support me :)

well the new methods were kind of behind a paywall. It they weren't i'd have to reevaluate their newsworthiness.

me too, kind of. my go to fps these days, community's dying. i'm hoping this lets me port some of my q3, while being a bit more active.
i also hope i don't encounter all these rude COD players i hear about.
:) was being a bit snippy.

i specified find, because i did read a bit of the article too.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
