I can't swing my arm at your face because my right to freedom of movement is subordinate to your right not to be punched.
There is a hierarchy of rights; some rights are more important than others.
And clearly the right to life is right at the top. One of the reasons for that, is the fact that without life no other right can be exercised.
Therefore, the unborn baby's right to life is more important than the pregnant woman right to not be inconvenienced by a pregnancy.
The right to life for human beings might be paramount. Legally, until a baby is born, there is only one human being and she is an adult.
And I disagree with your claim that the life of a person is paramount. If you are trying to invade my home, I have a legal right to use deadly force to stop you. And that's just my home, not my body.
The most massive black holes ever observed are over a billion solar masses. At 90 million solar masses, the sun could hold together at least with respect to gravity vs. tidal force.
If you were observing this happen, you would see the sun getting dimmer and redder as it fell toward the event horizon, and at some point I think it would just go dark. You wouldn't see a flash or flare because a big piece of matter just disappeared from the observable universe without making a splash.
It's OK. They'll declare war against botnets, and then implement a bunch of laws to combat them, all of which will result in a further slide into tyranny. Eventually we'll have government agents from the to-be established Department of Home Computer Security come into our homes once a week to inspect all of our computing devices. For our own protection, of course.
Department of Cyber Security. They're working like crazy to resurrect that word.
he doesn't think government should be regulating women's wombs.
If you don't think unborn babies have a right to life, say so.
Don't say this issue is about "women's wombs" when you know
very well that the being inside has a unique DNA.
I think there is no right that trumps a woman's right to not have something in her body that she doesn't want there. As long as it's not infringing anybody else's right, the fetus might well have a right to live. But while it can't do it without infringing her right, its right cannot be lawfully exercised.
It's the same principle that says you have the right to swing your arm, right up until the point where it makes contact with somebody else or somebody else's property.
That's interesting information, but it doesn't tell enough of the story because Installed isn't the same as USING. It's the using that's of value to a company like Facebook.
How many people install Opera and then rarely or never use it, or then uninstall it but may still be counted as users? The same question plays for Facebook. They have over 900 million accounts, but many of those accounts are never or almost-never updated, which suggests that their users rarely or never log in, so the value of Facebook's profile is nearly zero. Only active users contribute to the value of Facebook, or Opera.
I think the number of people who install and regularly run a third-party browser must be vanishing small. (My personal experience was I installed the slashdot-touted Opera and decided in a few minutes that it added nothing that I valued to my phone so I uninstalled it.)
For millions of people to install and USE Opera on their phones, I imagine the case for using it over the stock browsers would have to be compelling. And anything less than millions of users just isn't enough to catch Facebook's interest. They have 900 million accounts already.
But I could be wrong. Maybe there are millions of people using Opera on their phones already. If that's the case, then Facebook probably would think about whether acquiring Opera would be a strategic buy for them.
It was explained in my astrophysics class that when a black hole reaches a certain mass that whole stars pass inside the event horizon before being torn up by tidal force.
Then the singularity no longer has a big accretion disk and the radiation emitted by infalling matter is trapped within the event horizon.
So it goes quiet.
Obama is anti-war, he is getting us out of Iraq and Afghanistan as gracefully as possible.
Ridiculous. He escalated the war in Afghanistan.
Obama is pro bill-of-rights. He's signed three laws allowing for better access to firearms (not passed when the GOP was fully in charge under Bush), and unlike Ron Paul, he doesn't think government should be regulating women's wombs.
On the other hand, he has continued and extended infringements on your 4th Amendment rights. Not that I think Romney would do less.
Obama is anti deficit spending. He has come out publicly in favor of making multi-millionaires and billionaires pay at least the tax rates of their secretaries and taxing corporations that outsource jobs rather than those that keep jobs in the U.S.
That much is true, but he hasn't done squat to control spending.
It's not just that. The proportion of matter to photons is pretty respectable. If it were just a matter of a few atoms left over after all the antimatter was annihilated the universe would be much sparser and less interesting.
If it takes 54 million processor hours to compute it, how long is it going to take for scientists to EXPLAIN it?
And who is going to check the results?
And promptly uninstalled when users realize it isn't interesting enough to warrant having two browsers on your phone. Simplicity and consistency MATTER on mobile devices.
China is authoritarian, not totalitarian. While they regulate morality to some extent, they don't watch over people for every hour of their lives. Similarly, in economic sphere, there is also considerable freedom, especially for small/medium business.
But, yes, ideologically that's still fascism, just a more mild form of it (which is arguably why it's so successful).
I'd classify them as one of the most totalitarian states ever. Who else ever tried to control how many kids you have?

That depends on what you mean by quiet. A star getting ripped apart by a smaller black hole would emit more radiation.
For a star the size of the sun, at 90 million solar masses, a star like the sun would stay intact as it fell through the event horizon. \
How do you get a patent on something your competitors have been doing for years?

Personally approved by the President? Will there be video of the drone strikes?
Do I have to write everything explicitly?
An unborn baby has his own unique, individual, _human_ DNA, and the ability to grown into a child if provided food and oxygen.
That's irrelevant. It's in a place that belongs to somebody else and she has the right to remove it or have it removed whenever she wants.

Doesn't matter. The filter that selects political articles for keyword analysis doesn't have to be perfect to find statistically valid correlation.
The regular political parties already do the will of vocal minorities.

It isn't going away at all unless people stop using electronics.
Maybe they can compute wtf dark energy is.

Anybody remember Jonathan Pollard?
If you care, you only buy either directly from the manufacturer or from their authorized distributors.
By near peer, they mean that America aspires to being serious competition to China in semiconductor manufacturing.
If the military publishes it, let 'em try and sue. How do you sue the Pentagon?
