Hmmm... I don't know any real world examples but I think sometimes when living in oppressive conditions a morally sound person will feel that doing what they can to harm that entity is right on principle.
I'm not SAYING it's right, but morals are quite grey and subjective.
- The insane way: Tap into the actual mains distribution cables under the roads or on utility poles. I think this is what he was doing. High effort, high risk of detection, high risk of electrocution. Only a real electrician could do this, like the person of the article. Allows access to great amounts of power, for running large buildings.
I've seen this one done before, the guys get a long wooden pole and attach a hanger to the end, then just hook them over the top of the wires. Then they run these things down the street and over ditches. I'd hate to be walking down that street when it's raining if people are driving over those wires and cracking the insulation.
There's also a Commodore emulator that has a BASIC interpreter.
As I understand it, interpreters are allowed if the code is wholly contained in the app and it doesn't download code from elsewhere. This also allows game engines such as Unreal and Unity.
Just that every time the editor for their papers saw the list of names at the top with "C. Cocks" in it they always thought it was a childish prank and erased his name.
To this day every time he gets pulled over the cops say "Come on buddy, your REAL ID this time".
Also some blame has to be placed on the consumer market full of buyers who don't understand resolution.
I can't count the number of times I've worked on someone's computer and noticed their screen set to 1024x768 when they had a sweet monitor. Yet if you "fix it" they don't like the smaller text and images on their web pages, okay fine so I'll increase the font sizes for them but then some of the buttons look funny and whatnot.
Maybe their OS can perfectly scale everything and keep things roughly looking the same at higher resolution but it seems to me that a large percentage of consumers DO NOT WANT higher res screens because they don't understand them.
Perhaps over the last 10 years they've been voting with their wallets and lower res screens are what they want. After all, if it were more profitable to make nice high res screens then everyone would be making those instead.
Perhaps like a balloon held deep under the surface of a pool... as it flew towards the edge of the atmosphere the momentum carried it *PLOOP!* over the top before gravity brought it back down.
I don't know what the agenda was where you went to school, but I clearly remember the private goals our our sex ed teacher in 8th grade.
When the class discussed homosexuality it was explained like this. "1 out of 10 people are homosexual, that means 3 of you in this classroom are gay, you just don't know it yet." When some students said that they KNEW they weren't gay and it wouldn't change the teacher added "Maybe you are, how do you know until you've tried it?"
I will never understand why westerners are so supportive of corporatist removal of our rights to own outright and modify our stuff as customers and human beings. We've seen how free market ideology works in the real world where there are no scruples and money makes the rules and if you don't have money your voice doesn't matter. We're already in an era of corporate dictatorship of policy to such an insidious degree.
I've had a few discussions with people like that and the underlying cause as far as I can tell is related to a sense of debt. There's the saying "But without Microsoft we could never have a commodity computer market", similarly on the other hand "But without Apple inventing the iPhone and the App store there would never be a phone not controlled by the carriers". Then you have the idea that if people pirate music, movies and TV shows soon the big players will go broke and we won't have new ones being made like before.
So it seems to be a basic feeling that a certain loss of freedom gives us greater benefits than keeping that freedom would have and that the freedom removing entity is benevolent and unique.
That idea would actually be easy enough to test. We'd just have to check the verb tense of "die" in that sentence and see if it's a "perfect" tense as in "will be dead that day" or imperfect tense as in "begin the process of dying". I'll have to research that one sometime.
Well, if you get stuck talking about that with one of them, try this sometime.
"I read in the Bible that it was all made in ONE day"
Show them Genesis 2:4 which sums up the first chapter of Genesis with "In the day that God created the heavens and the earth". Then with an honest request say to them.
"I'm confused, which one is it... can you explain it to me?"
Either... 1) They'll have to say that "day" is not a literal term... and it is an unspecified unit of time as used in Genesis... 2) That they just don't know and it seems to be a contradiction. (Which kills their blind faith in a literal 6 day creation) 3) "Hold on let me ask my pastor" (Conversation ends quickly) 4) ???
Okay lets say they stick around after that one. Try this Genesis 2:17 God tells Adam that if he eats from the tree of knowledge of good and bad he will day "on that day". Now Genesis 4 shows that after being kicked out of the garden Adam and Eve conceived and bore children... that takes more than a single day. Genesis 5:5 says that Adam lived 930 years which is interesting because it's less than 1,000 years. Now 2 Peter 3:8 says that a thousand years is to God "as one day" which would mean that Adam did indeed die "in that day" figuratively.
So again it's one of: 1) Day is not literal, and sometimes is used to refer to periods of 1,000 years. 2) God was wrong and Adam didn't die in a 24 hour day. 3) "I'm never wrong so the Bible must be wrong instead" 4) ???
Hey if they just flat out ignore scientific reasoning (like a positivist flat out ignores any discussion of spiritual things) then try arguing on their terms, because they don't have any support at all for their claims, not in the scriptures for sure. Hey maybe they'll listen to the Bible itself when shown that and learn to look into their beliefs and maybe start to question why they have them. Or they just leave you alone...
Let's say you open a bunch of background tabs while reading a page. One of the tabs doesn't load for whatever reason, when it times out, instead of putting the attempted URL in the address bar it leaves some kind of about:blank internal page that tells you what happened. That's great, thanks for the info, now click refresh. Nope, the page is gone forever. Go back to the first page and hunt through the links comparing them against the loaded tabs and hopefully you find the one you wanted.
Actually the red phosphorus was more expensive so the business owners preferred the white kind. It wasn't until 1912 when it was banned that they changed. They knew it, labor was cheap and easy to replace.
Hey girl I got somethin' real important to give you So just sit down and listen Girl you know we've been together such a long long time (such a long time) And now I'm ready to lay it on the line (Wooow) You know it's Christmas and my heart is open wide Gonna give you something so you know what's on my mind A gift real special, so take off the top Take a look inside -- it's my Wave in a box

Got a citation for that? Everywhere I've looked said her last words were "Monsieur, I beg your pardon."
Yeah! Scum like Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds!

Actually Dave has already figured out the optimal formula for calculating and ranking a woman's beauty.
Right because
There's no quality of service above best efforts.

So THAT'S why moderate muslims don't denounce the crazies. I get it now thanks.

What if it loops after the 2 quadrillionth digit and in fact that IS the last digit??
The point of this article is to hype Apple's investment in LiquidMetal.

As well as the fact that phossy jaw still exists in 3rd world countries to this day. THEY certainly know better.
Actually the red phosphorus was more expensive so the business owners preferred the white kind. It wasn't until 1912 when it was banned that they changed. They knew it, labor was cheap and easy to replace.
For those of you who haven't heard of it before...
Phossy Jaw.
Google it kids. Yup, in the USA too.
Call it "the NOC". People go 'Whoah'.
