In other words, they don't exist. Because you may think you have a right to live, but anyone can take away your life. If the right to live isn't a natural right, nothing else is either.
If you want to prevent heart disease, stop eating saturted fat and cholesterol and stick with a low-fat whole-plant-based diet.
That helps to reduce the risk, not prevent heart disease. That's something that makes me cringe - this idea that diet is a panacea for one's ills....
Genetics also have a lot to do with it, too.
Yes, eating more plants and less animals (even fish) is better for our health, our ecosystem, and our wallets, but let's not over state the benefits, please.
Not your wallet. Check out the prices in the produce aisle some time. Meat is often a cheaper source of your necessary nutrients than vegetables.
When we talk about vegetarian diets reducing your heart disease risk, it's frankly irresponsible to not provide information about how much it reduces the risk. There is an answer: 32%. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2013/02/04/vegetarians-have-lower-heart-disease-risk-study-finds/ That's significant enought to take into account, and not even close to enough to think you've done everything you can to reduce your risk if you are a vegetarian.
Also, there is little if any evidence that vegetarianism is any more healthy than eating meat a few times a week and mostly avoiding red meat. Researchers aren't sure whether meat is harming people or they are simply missing important plant nutrients.
We do. They're periodically required to demonstrate that their license is in the public interest. The rules for demonstrating that their service is in the public interest are extremely liberal, but they do exist.
If that were all Aereo was doing, there would be no issue. The legal issue is whether Aereo has a right to retransmit copyrighted information without consent of the broadcasters and other copyright holders.
There's no discipline in software development. It's slapped together to meet an artificial deadline. It's considered done if it compiles. It's shoved out into the marketplace so everyone can stuff their pockets and then all the developers are fired to make way for the new employees who will design the next piece of shit.
The only measure of how good software is depends on how shiny and "innovative" the user interface is. What the software actually does is utterly irrelevant.
All deadlines are, by definition, artificial. Aside from that, your comments are disturbingly descriptive of the status quo in software development in many organizations.
Why should I need a smartphone to park my car? All the necessary electronics are BUILT INTO THE CAR. It comes with a tiny remote control built into the key or fob. Put the button to park the car on the fob.
Well stated. It's remarkable that so many physicists have adhered to the Copenhagen interpretation for so long, stating it as fact when explaining it to laymen and worse, to students of physics when in fact it is a subject of debate among prominent physicists and has been all along. The interpretation itself makes a lot of untestable claims and for that reason alone it ought to be regarded with great skepticism and no conclusions should be drawn from it.
I also find it remarkable that it's named for Copenhagen. There is or is not a lot of weed to be smoked there.
It would be the law. The only reason these laws are still in place is we haven't changed them yet. There's a process for doing that. Using illegal drugs will not help make it happen.
Let's be clear about this. Silk Road operators had a guy killed. They are no different in that regard than the thugs running any other drug gang. When you buy on the black market, you are paying with blood money that destroys other peoples' lives and livelihoods. You know this is the consequence of your action. You can go ahead and blame the government if you want, but YOU are providing the money that gets people killed.
Yes, maybe the product should be legal. If so and you care, talk to your representatives. Start a political campaign. But DO NOT pay the murderous racket that brings you illegal drugs.
Yeah, but this is HP we're talking about. Given their recent performance, an outside observer could be forgiven for asking if the majority of employees are working for HP at all.
On reading, the USA in 16th place average 270 points compared to leader Japan's 296. American/Japanese score = 91%. On math, the USA placed 21st with 253 to Japan's 288. American/Japanese score = 88%. On problem solving, the USA placed 17th with 277 compared to Japan's 294. American/Japanese = 94%.
So yeah, Japan's education system works better than ours. What are they getting for it? A public debt problem that's worse than the USA's, per capita income that's a little less than ours but purchasing power significantly worse and almost twice our suicide rate. But hey, they're working, right?
It matters WHAT you learn. Americans learn that they are entitled. Japanese learn to be effective cogs in the corporate machine.
How dumb is it to have the bank offer you a loan so you can afford to live in a house you couldn't afford? These people were mostly former renters. That's their frame of reference. The banker, knowing full well the situation and the buyer's mindset, explains, "You will have fixed mortgage payments of $600/mo for 3 years and then depending on interest rates, it can go up or down." The buyer hears, "I will have fixed rent payments of $800/mo for 3 years and then the rent will go up (because it never goes down)." He compares the house he's being offered with what he can rent for that amount and decides the house is a better deal -- because it is. He makes a possibly rational decision that even if he's foreclosed on, he's way ahead taking that mortgage over the $1200/mo mortgage with traditional financing -- $14400 over that three years. He's a RENTER. He was figuring to move every 3 years anyway.
So what? What did he lose when he stopped making payments after they ballooned to $1200? Nothing. The loan company didn't lose anything either; they MADE money on the fees that they rolled into the note. It's the "smart" people who bought the mortgage-backed securities that the bank fraudulently sold to them as AAA that lost money. They are checking their math over and over and it doesn't add up. They should have studied harder.

That's a false choice. We can do both and one doesn't interfere with the other.
If you're voting for politicians who support the war on drugs, the blood is on your hands too.
Corrected.
I'd raise my price to what he re-sells the lemonade for. But we're not discussing lemonade. We're discussing copyright.
We do. They're periodically required to demonstrate that their license is in the public interest. The rules for demonstrating that their service is in the public interest are extremely liberal, but they do exist.
It's not similar. Fox set up another television network that did not use the signals of the other 3 networks.
No, it's not. You don't own the antenna. That's a potential legal distinction. And you don't own the DVR. That's another potential legal distinction.
Because the minute they do that, somebody else will set up Beereo and Ceereo to compete with them.
Are there free television sets broadcast to peoples' homes that I'm missing out on?
If that were all Aereo was doing, there would be no issue. The legal issue is whether Aereo has a right to retransmit copyrighted information without consent of the broadcasters and other copyright holders.

Enjoy the human blood on that joint.
Also, if we all just "sat around" and obeyed the law, there would be no black market and no drug gang killings.

These guys are also murderers. Still not interested?
Yeah, but this is HP we're talking about. Given their recent performance, an outside observer could be forgiven for asking if the majority of employees are working for HP at all.
OK, maybe not forgiven.
Oh, so you still think you work for HP?
Just so you know, noplace else in the United States wants to be considered as similar to Mississippi.
