'Our gravitational model predicts this type of behavior but we are seeing something completely different at different scales. Must be an error in the universe as our model is correct.' That's what I see going through some of these so called scientists' minds as they attempt to sound intelligent. I've always wondered at the arrogance of scientists who, when presented with an apparent problem with their theories, go first to the reason 'it must be something completely new and obviously not an issue with our theory'. If gravity behaves differently between sub-atomic scale and our local scale, how do they instantly discount that it could work differently on the galactic or universal scale? Or how do they discount that it may in fact work the same at sub-atomic levels as our local scale and we just have no idea what the algorithm is to graph the scale? Which could then explain what we see on the universal scale? They are assuming that their previous assumptions are correct, then making more guesses and assumptions based on previous assumptions and are somehow convinced that's not only the right way to go, but the only way to go. And that's on top of the blind arrogance that even though we know that black holes will distort what we see, that obviously every single other measurement we have ever made, (which have gone on to form and build upon our already unsteady model), are not only probably correct but absolutely unimpeachable in their certainty until proven wrong. I hope to see some of these answers in my lifetime but am doubtful it will happen except through blind luck.
hahaha so funny the hate you can get for being truthful. Sexuality is a learned behavior. Doesn't matter if hetero, homo, pedo or necro. No one is born one way or the other. They may develop those desires early enough in their life that it feels like they were born that way, but its never been the case that its hereditary. Every few years someone claims to have found a 'gay' gene and is promptly shown to be a stupid asshole. Its only an argument made by people wanting acceptance. If you put 50 five year males on an island and had them taught and raised by men only, you're telling me that when they all get teen-aged and horny it was just a coincidence that all 50 were gay as they start pounding each other? Bullshit. And I guess, since they were born that way, then realistically only 10% or so would have sex with each other and the other 90% would what? Sit around frustrated all day thinking, "I would really love to not be so sexually frustrated, if only there were females, that I don't even know exist, that could help'. Fuck anyone stupid enough to make that claim.
hahha have you ever actually been to a college campus? The amount of stupidity that goes around as normal group think is astounding. Its irony at its best when college students try to talk against something they feel is intellectually dishonest when the vast majority of the group think going on at campuses is exactly the same.
Can't tell if sarcastic and stupid or intelligent and stating the obvious. Diamonds are going for around 3500 a carat. Even a two carat diamond would be much smaller than ten notes folded as small as you could possibly fold them. They don't show up in magnetic scanners like money does either,(USA dollars have magnetic strips and ink with high iron content but not sure Euros).
Since when, (starting from the invention of the camera until today), has anyone ever took a nude picture of themselves, or allowed another person to take their nude picture and not understood the risks that they might end up in a third party's hands? How completely oblivious can a person be who doesn't get that? The internet is completely irrelevant to the entire argument. No analogy is necessary. If you've hit puberty and don't understand that, bummer for you. You are allowed outrage if someone climbs into a tree and snaps some nudes while you're in your home because you otherwise keep what you want hidden under your clothes. When you take a picture, of anything, you are documenting it for all times.
While carrion technically is any decaying meat that is no longer inside of a living animal, its definition is certainly restricted when talking about carrion eaters,(scavengers). Decay is retarded in aged meats by not allowing natural agents in that would start the normal decay process. Otherwise all meat eaters would be classified as carrion eaters as the instant the chemical signals for life stop, the meat becomes carrion. And they don't age most beef to give it any sort of 'carrion tang' they do it to break down the callogenic fibers that hold the meat together and give it a less tough texture. Any noticeable flavor only comes long after the time limits they put on most meats you can buy in the USA. I used to hunt deer and spent extra money to have some of it aged, and unless you dry age for a long time the taste is pretty much the same as straight out of the animal. Only its lack of toughness is noticeable. That's also why you only find high end places, (that charge considerable amounts of money), selling anything with any sort of aged flavor.
I don't believe any law relating to inter-state trade or hate crimes regulates what people choose to do. If calling a gamer a faggot somehow physically kept them from going to the store it would still be out of scope for those laws unless he also caused physical bodily harm. Solely emotional damage is not counted in those laws. Nearly every law pertaining to hindering interstate commerce have that as a sub-section to get bigger fines/punishments for whatever other crime they are wrapped up in,(hate crimes, firearm crimes,etc), but every one of those deal only in physically hindering or through threats with weapons that can do bodily harm.
That idea has long been an industry proof of concept. Same for using projectors and cameras to display the backing image on the other side of the cloaking material.
I was just thinking that same thing. A reasonably titled 'cloaking device' would need to actively camouflage an object from detection. Limiting not only the viewing angle but also the viewing distance makes this more like an optical illusion or magic trick than the practically useful device the name cloaking device confers. A board covered in glue, then covered in dirt, being used to cover a hole in the ground could technically be called a cloaking device with such a ridiculously broad definition. Maybe more so as nearly any above ground distance and angle would still result in the cloaked object not being perceived.
Have you actually stepped into a hardware store this decade? Look at the packaging and you can find dimmable versions of led's and cfls. You may lock yourself out of choices by only wanting a certain wattage equivalent or temp color but they all have soft white and in multiple wattages. I have three different dimmable CFLs and one that does three different wattages in a touch lamp.
Whoever modded you up as Insightful has never done any real manual labor. I worked at Home Depot for a few years and had to fill in as a loader a few times. That's hundreds of bags of concrete on to carts for people every day,(or 10 skids, 42 bags per pallet in a six hour shift). That's 80lbs, (36-37 kg), over and over, all day long. And reading TFA really didn't give any kind of impression that they were being used as often as that. While the idea of the exoskeleton has been awesome since Ripley first jumped into one, we are years away from anything that will even come close to replacing your average construction worker for strength and ability. That prototype suit has trouble dealing with slopes of any kind, slippery surfaces or can't assist with turning. The key point there being that turning while carrying a heavy load is the quickest way to a bad back. Even at 20kg you're asking for trouble if you turn the wrong way or repeatedly. Add to that the fact that using this prototype suit actually keeps your core from getting use it seems like it will make those types of injuries even more common for the wearer. Until they fix that its a pipe dream for long term use. Sadly, at best, that article is a few years too soon.
Wait, so just because Israel has modern guided missiles they should just stand by while Palestinians get their killstreak up? So its ok that the Jews have had their schoolkids and babies killed by hundreds of suicide bombs because they have better weaponry? Palestine's mission statement was officially, and still is unofficially, that every single man, woman and child Jew must die. Their suicide bombs, that were officially sanctioned by their government, were not targeting military installations. They targeted malls and public places, during the day when women and children were the most likely targets. Bummer for them that they are too stupid to not fire 50's era unguided rockets at a nation with a modern arsenal.
Except the SA farmers weren't sending thousands of rockets into Britain and aiming them at civilian population centers instead of military or government targets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... That's just so far this year. I am in no way absolving Israel for their part in this mess but they didn't just one day decide to lock everything down in Palestine on a whim. Until Palestinians want to live more than they want to hate they will continue to allow their neighbors to fire rockets blindly into Israel.
I thought it used the cd player that was designed to play cds to do this? Or is there a completely separate drive that I missed in TFA? It seems exactly the same to me. A drive meant to read disc based media in order to translate that data into sound can also take that data and store it on a local drive.
I think these kinds of stories are awesome. Fuck people. Seriously. Fuck them. Working for years in a customer service position made me sick of most assholes and their entitled bullshit. If he had a legit complaint, great. Voice it then sue the shit out of them for taking you off the plane. Once I was promoted a few times it didn't take long for me to give up 65k a year to do something else because of guys like that.
Its more likely to be a hard sell to the millions of poor people who don't have bank accounts at all. Or try convincing banks to start allowing people to have checking accounts with less $1500 in them without no fees. Where I live there are a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck that can't even begin to think about opening a bank account because all of the banks around here demand a minimum amount in the account in order to keep it open without charging you out the ass in fees. Because of that we have tons of places that charge even less to cash checks and most people stick with cash and money orders.
The seeds do contain thc. Not only do pot plant seeds contain thc but hemp plants contain it. For hemp it may be less than 1 part per million but its enough for certain governments to make them both illegal.
And even if someone took that as being fact, it should still be irrelevant to a publicly traded company. I just left a large company with its head up its ass when it comes to hiring. I was told, as a manger, to try and hire more women and blacks, then was threatened when the best of those bunches were unable to perform at the same level as the white men they replaced. I couldn't care less about the supposed 'plight' of either group. I went to a high school that had around a 30% percent graduation rate. I went to college and didn't get a race or sex based scholarship. My tuition was paid by working during high school and all through college. To want better for myself and having been forced to work for everything I've ever had makes care nothing for people that claim they could be the best if only some benefactor would step in and pay their way. The math I look at is what are the percentages in the QUALIFIED pool? How they get there is of no concern to the company. You say that a company hiring whites is mathematically denying itself the 'best and brightest' but put forth bullshit math to back it up. I would counter with parents that choose a criminal lifestyle, walk out on their children and do absolutely nothing to nurture them are not capable of producing the best and brightest children as their offspring are almost guaranteed to have the same traits as the parents. If they were the best and the brightest they would look around themselves and use all of those bad examples as what not to be. Some of the people I went to HS with did just that but most of them decided fuck it, I'd rather have a $150 pair of shoes than pay my phone bill. How many people riding around poorer neighborhoods in cars with $3000 sets of rims and tires have a college fund set up for their kids? How many of those kids will grow up living the same selfish lifestyle?
I was a manager at Home Depot for years and can tell you they do the same thing. When I got hired we had a man as a regional manager who didn't give a shit what race or sex you were. He hired the best people he could and our team became the envy of the entire company. We literally wrote the book on how to do our jobs better and most things considered 'best practices' came from our regional team at some level. Then his boss was changed to a woman who decided their were too many white men in our region things got really bad. When hiring the last three lower level managers under me I wasn't told if candidates were nearly the same, I was told I HAD to hire more females and minorities. After giving interviews for three months, and finding zero decent female or minority candidates, my new regional manager pulled me aside and basically accused me of being a racist and a sexist. I was told I had two weeks to fill the position or someone would be found to do it for me. The best of the bunch was a black woman who had been an HR department head. I had to fire her six months later for theft and was then blamed for hiring her in the first place. I ended up leaving HD because I got tired of the stupidity. At every level of the company they have gone off the rails. Management at the upper levels of the company have decided that anyone but a white male should be hired and most of the time that means not hiring the best candidate. Men are more physically capable of doing the bottom end jobs so more men are hired for those jobs. When it comes time to hire for their boss should I hire one of them who knows every aspect of his own job plus most aspects of his boss' job or a female who knows nothing about either position as an outside hire? In nearly every case it was better to hire from within but that meant I was a racist and a sexist for thinking people most capable of doing the job were the ones I should hire.
This is why I have little regard for 'free' or open source software. If somehow ego could be removed, these programs might have a chance of one day being usable. The issue I see is that too many of these developers start out with 'fuck ms' I can easily make a free version of this. What their arrogance always misses is that MS didn't become MS by releasing half-assed programs. They put more time and money into help systems than most of these open source programs put into their entire projects. And its always the small things that they decide aren't a priority in their quest to change the software landscape that ends up making nearly everyone but fanboys run from their products. Its funny that people are actually trying to argue with you about this. The cornerstone of every successful program is whether or not enough people who want to use your product actually can use it. Without a basic help system you can throw that software into the garbage. If the help system is junk AND there isn't a single person in that entire organization working to fix it, the entire organization is garbage. People saying its widely known that the help is junk is even more reason to stay away from anything coming from that group of developers.
I take it you've never been doing really well in a game on console or ever had spam email? My nephew is very good at COD and I get calls from his mom about once a week because some douche bag is flooding their ip with data in order to ruin the kid's game. If they had to pay for all of that data I could see them having a case for a lawsuit against the ISP for allowing all the data in. Spam email is usually small if you turn off images, but if you didn't a 1 meg image in 500 plus emails a week could end up really hurting an end user.

It still makes me laugh at the reactions of coworkers when I tell them I haven't even owned a tv in over a decade.
