I can imagine that fossilized bones are often broken or crushed, or locked in a substrate that makes removing them problematic. So, take a CT scan, remove the substrate digitally, then maniplate digital copies. Multiple palentoligists could have acces to the same samples and attempt differing configurations, without the logistics problems or dangers of sharing and manipulating the source material. Further, while a rich collector may want the real thing, I bet many people would love to have a copy.
You really need to get off your high horse. I am not waving the rainbow flag, nor do I believe it entitles me to anything. I would like to think I would feel and act the same regardless of my orientation. I am not 'out' except to a very select few people.
And I wholly agree that the level of respect should be the same regardless of gender (or gender identity if it differs from your physical one). I just do not believe that we should ignore the fact that sexuality exists and colors practically every human interaction, even if we try to bury it in a compartment somewhere.
I have had two LG phones that either keep a static charge or lose charge when plugged into a cheap car charger with the GPS on. Without GPS it is okay, but I guess GPS and the nav app are such a drain that the poor charger can't deliver enough current. It would be nice to be able to test a charger to see what it's actual output is.
'If I take my cruiser and I meet [reluctant witnesses] to talk, eventually they can follow me and say why were you in a back dark street for 45 minutes? It's going to open up a can of worms that can't be closed.'
Then moron, you log and report it like any other part of a proper investigation, and your commanding officer will be fine. If however you were on that street using your authority to extort sex from a drug addict prostitute, I can see why you are concerned.
Personally, I think all law enforcement officers, with exception possibly of undercover operations should have constant GPS and video surveillance of them (perhaps wearing google glass). Unless it is sensitive information to a current investigation it should be public domain. Once an investigation is complete the same shoud apply.
Law enforcement types tend to be abusive bullies that think they are doing things for the good of others, much like the father/spouse that is beating you 'because I love you'. There is less and less accountability for law enforcement, we need to change that.
I happen to be bisexual. I notice, and comment, relatively politely (depending on company) on the looks of both sexes. I have a co-worker who is gay. I tell him good job cutie all the time (and he says similar), even though there is nothing relationshipwise between us (we are both otherwise involved). We are both fine with this, and if we weren't hopefully one of us would say something
I would much rather live in a world we we can stop pretending our genitals do not exist. Certainly things can be taken to the point where people are uncomfortable or harassed, and that is unique to each circumstance, and needs to be dealt with appropriately. However, wouldn't it be nice to be able to chest bump a guy without fear that he would take it as a come-on because your breasts touched him, or do a football ass smack without connotation (unless it was desired as such)?
I do have much respect for her accomplishments, regardless of how she looks, the fact that I called her cute, or female, or a dream girl adds rarity and value to her accomplishments in my opinion and does not detract from it. Now if I had said something overtly sexual and crude you may have a point, but that pseudo-feminist crap has echos of our overtly puritanical (and hypocritical) culture that would have us all asexual and demote sex just a bodily function that needs to be endured if it were taken to its ultimate end.
I just had to post this. Limor Fried is a cute, smart, hardware hacking, gadgeteering, successful entrepreneur chick. Pretty much most geeks dream girl.
You go girl!
That said, when I was a youngster, being a geek was nearly a death sentence. Especially in the rural jock culture where I lived. Now it seems geekdom is chic. Even though it is not as much a target of bullying as it was, it still seems that there is a lack of women in many geeky hobbies/fields.
My question is how do we change that and engage more females in our culture? What drew you to this, and can it be applied to draw in others?
I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the corporate States of America. And to the studios for which it stands. One copy, under law, with DRM and Miley for all.
Sell this device now and get a cut for immediate gain. Watch as devices sold slowly render your main business dead, and only have residual income after that.
I mentioned photoshop as it is quickly becoming cloud based and there are graphic design clases 'on the inside' that will be affected. If you think you can go to a company with only GIMP and Inkscape experience and get a job, even without a felony strike, you need to open your eyes.
That aside, this should tell you a bit about 'education' in the correctional system.
Thank god this state is like this. I am in VA. Let us just say that I -was- in prison for a 'short' while. I am not a good coder. I am a hardware and network geek. I had a friend inside who wrote an application to track offender good time, housing, release dates etc. It spread from that prison to others (he worked in a computer class, and it was passed off as being written by the instructor). Later, someone found out it was inmate written, they gave him 'institutional' charges related to computer fraud - no real legal system charges -, transferred him to another prison and revoked -any- use of a computer for a job.
The system continued to be used by various prisons in the state (not all but most of them). Then the decree came on high that the state IT management corp (headed by northropp grumman) would write a new system. Guess what? It still contains code written by him.
We have both since been released, and guess what. It is hard to get a job. So I started my own web design (mostly template wordpress and drupal), and pc repair/consulting business. It has been slowly and hard, but now I am contracting to one of the bigger (but still small) repair firms in town and I am doing okay.
My friend is in a different part of the state and doing pretty well too. We are both lucky that even without internet access, we had and for a while at least, maintained jobs as classroom aides or other computer related jobs and were able to keep our brains relatively up to date with that and trade magazines/books for the decade +/- we were incarcerated.
As we become more and more connected, this becomes less possible. How can you teach an inmate office or photoshop when it requires a live internet connection? Or basic internet literacy for that matter? When an inmate has been inside for 10-25 years and has no clue how to even turn on a PC or tablet, much less send an email, how is he even supposed to apply for more than a day labor or dishwashing position upon his release?
For many it is easier to mooch, steal, or deal than reintegrate, and the educational prospects inside prison are severely hobbled for many reasons. Sure, most of the people who are there did some bad things, some terrible. Some change, some do not. If a person has the true desire to better himself and does not have or is denied the resources, then it is not much better than modern day slavery, and when you look at 'prison industry' it pretty much is.
Now the question is, who is surprised that there is an ex-con on/. ? I was here before too, but under a different name.
It is 'free' if you own OSX. Therefore it is a free update. In terms of the number of changes it may be larger, but in actuality it is no different than windows 8.1 or a Service Pack.
Open source (free as in speech), as a different beast entirely, and we are doing very well, TYVM.
This. And there is a good possibility that some rich law firm or other entity will purchase them off to troll with them. I would like to see Google pick them up, or perhaps even MS, as long as they don't go to a troll that will stifle further growth and innovation in the mobile market.

You don't even need this when most people willingly carry a remotely accessible microphone and transmitter in their pocket.

Why not just download the CAD files and print it yourself at whatever scale you want that the printer can handle.

And public education is consistent with more pricier education options.
Congress has found a new way to accept 'donations', eg graft and bribes, and quietly deposit it in an account in the Caymans.
A filename like Game.Of.Thrones.S03E04..VOSTFR.HDTV.XviD.avi perhaps?
