Yes, but who is he going to vote for? Strange - strange - bottom would be a submissive with two tranny masters (strange tops)? Is this an independent or just a typical Democrat? heh heh
There are mistaken hidden assumptions in this "thought" process. First, they are assuming that subatomic particles are solely what we are made of. If this is true, then the reasoning is not too illogical. But if subatomic particles are only one part, one view of what we are made up of, then particles' free will or the lack thereof, does not extend up to us. Many people believe in spirits, souls, gods, demons, and other things not made of subatomic particles. Some (foolish) scientists believe in dark matter and other undetectable things, not made up of subatomic particles. So what if subatomic particles havee no free will? IF the other stuff has free will, then so can we. THe real problem here is there is no meaningful, logical definition of free will which can be used in a logical discussion. So all this is just philosophical babbling.
I used to work on satelite recovery equipment. Specifically pingers that were attached to the frame of the satelite, so that when they crashed into the sea, they could be located and retrieved. What made it thru the atmosphere to the earth's surface was typically no more than the frame, but there was always hope that the recording media would make it. Satelites never made it back nearly intact, which is what it would take for the hydrazine tank to be a hazard. This could easily be found out with a little research. So, yes, hydrazine tank hazard is BS of military stupidity level and size.
The Vatican may only have billions in cash, but they have trillions in real estate. Not just what they seized from the Knights Templar, but also all the Inquisition seizures, and many similar land grabs down through the ages. I think they should be forced, in the international courts, to give up all their lands for which they cannot show provenance. Like most old churches, monasteries, abbies, etc in Great Britain, for example, were built on the razed remains of pre-Christian temples, etc. I do not care that they got much of their lands with the connivance of the government. According to Church law, they stole the land, and so should have to give it back. Their own laws convict them. And all they seized during the Crusades. Any properties they have that are not Christian should be released, and any Christian objects (books, scrolls, artifacts, etc) should be on display, with open, free electronic access.
Actually, although I do believe (I do, I do, I do), I find it impossible to believe that advanced civilizations are talking to governments, because, if they were, we would see some level of enlightenment form our gov, and others. But what I see is en-darkenment, not enlightenment. Our govs are getting more and more uncivilized, crazy, and creepy, as well as more violent and abusive. This just does not sound like what would happen if enlightened info was coming in.
The Feds also stood behind lie detectors, as well.The fact is, the FBI, like every other law enforcement agency, is looking for ways to make their jobs easier, and for ways to look better. they don't spend much time or effort figuring out the difference between the two different priorities.
A surprisingly accurate assessment. What are you doing on Slashdot? Also, this just shows how easily the building blocks of life are to assemble, even in extreme environments. So, yes, they were created on Earth, in space, and probably on Mars. But the probable source of our earth life, according to Occam's razor, still is Earth.
On the moon, fast is dangerous. There is not much gravity holding you down, so if you speed up a dune, you go sailing off into space for a while. While you are off the ground, you are not in control of your movement, or your landing. So slow is the way to go. Great bounding leaps look cool in videos, but they are a great "here's your sign, stupid".
Most technology which claims to solve problems also creates a new set of problems. Recycling computers, disposing of nuclear waste, easy creation of synthetic life forms enables bio-warfare, computers enable far greater loss of privacy and hackers, etc. So our approaching a technological singularity in problem-solving is also approaching a singularity in problem-generation.
One time pads can be used in any circumstance, with any transmit method. Each communication includes the next one time encryption key. It also includes the last key. That tells the receiver that this is the person he last talked to. An unbroken link of communications. Since each key is very long, there is no way it can be broken.
If you had paid attention, and knew how to read, you would have noticed that the first part of my comment was not referring to Slick, but to currently standing senators and congressmen, even gay ones, who still are getting caught messing with the availables. I abhor both repubs and so-called dems, because most of them are scum, and the rest who supposedly are not stand beside the scum, allowing them to operate. I do not listen to Rush, so nothing I say comes from him, and therefore is not a rushism. Rush is not part of the solution, he is just making lots of money and fame off the scum It would actually hurt his income for the gov to be cleaned up. So he is actually a scum supporter, for all his anti-this and that speech. I would not know what Rush approves of and do not care. From the sound of your comment, and the attacking me without thought part, you apparently are a good little anti-Rush-bot, unthinking as any political creature, approving of one side of the scum-pond in charge (gov). Why don't you get a clue, and stand anti-gov, anti-scum? Oh, wait, that would require an intellect, and apparently you are challenged in that area.
Actually, IMHO, the supreme court placed limits on general police procedures like this. They said that if there was a reasonable likelihood of catching a bad guy, then the overall process was reasonable. That means something more than one in one hundred, not one in a million chance of success. So why isn't that applied?
And search is far different from seizure. They are seizing laptops.
In this country, shutting down a business takes a court order? But they are seizing laptops of businesspeople on business trips, possibly shutting down a business?
I am not clear on where the constitution makes a distinction on government actions clearly within the borders, and clearly outside the borders. IMHO, the gov, and agents of the gov, have no legal standing to deviate from federal laws just because they are not clearly inside the US.
And if they are not inside the US, then international law covers them? Where does the Hague stand on this?
I do not understand why the feds have the right to convict and punish you for possession of tech devices like a laptop at border crossings without due process of the law. If they can seize your tech property, isn't that a constitutional issue? Why are we US citizens if not for protection from unreasonable gov abuse of power? Isn't that why America fought the British for freedom? IS there a lawyer out there who can clarify this mess? And is there anyplace in the constitution that states that you are only protected from unreasonable search and seizure, etc if you are a citizen? I believe it is the gov who is restricted in their behavior, not just against Americans, but everybody?

Some states already have a law against obscuring plates, but, just like the law against strong window tinting, the law is ignored.

Can we get this out to 100% of Slashdotters ASAP?
A criminal Einstein would make very sure that the email backup system failed mysteriously on a regular basis. Hmmm...
