What a wealth of personal info.
No, in any such arrangement you're trading specific pieces of knowledge about your habits as part or all of a price. Those of us outside the tinfoil community prefer to send Google our search terms as indicators of personal interest over paying the $150/month that the service costs to provide.
The press, dominated as it is by a liberal arts culture that doesn't really get science, is trying to understand the whole Mars exploration effort as being analogous with the Cold War race for the Moon. Zurbuchen is just pointing out that that's not how this is going to work.
Yes, Landmannalaugar is on the itinerary. Also Jökulsárlón, Skaftafell, Gullfoss, Fjardargljufur, Systrastapi and Systrafoss. There will also be a day at a geothermal power plant. In all, it's nerd heaven.
But no, I wasn't there at the time. In my time we had a little of the original 1920s construction, some post-earthquake buildings, and some new postwar structures.
They don't know who you are. They can't take you to court without that information. Sending a letter from a lawyer representing you is a very stupid thing to do.
The US allows John Doe suits, but does Canada? Even if it does, email scams targeting the elderly are so prevalent that if Grandma just ignored the notices, no jury would convict her.
Thanks for the detail on conditions. I will be on a guided hike program near the end of May, staying in the south, and as in NZ nothing on glacier ice. The road advice sounds a lot like our northern Arizona advice, where bringing a hiking party in on the forest roads network requires a main battle SUV. We will be seeing lots of geothermal features but the guide knows where we can safely stand.
You have canyon flash floods too? This is one of our favorite ways of getting rid of tourists. And yes, a lot of what I will be coming to see will be the geology. Thingvellir, where you can actually see the Mid-Atlantic Ridge ripping apart, for one.
with a dozen or more viable political parties, none ever getting a majority by itself, "coalition" governments, instant runoff voting, and strict campaign finance rules.....
...And a smaller population than Mesa, AZ. Of course such a country will be quieter. I'm about to get a firsthand look, now that I will be hiking there next spring.
Japan has 'capsule hotels'. I figured they could be cheap housing for the poor. However, crime, and other social problems can become important when lots of poor are concentrated..
The problem is that we don't have Japanese poor. I have seen public housing in Tokyo, same architecture as our own welfare housing, but it's all clean and well maintained.
The state has banned its cities from banning AirBnB. This move is generally popular but has been controversial in some towns because of the possibility that, as is feared in NYC, that short-term rentals would cut into the supply of "affordable" housing. In AZ, we're not concerned about low-income housing - in fact we hate it when the feds ram Section 8 developments down our throats - but we do want rentals that our baristas and tour guides can afford.
My thought: if the AirBnB model works as an incentive for homeowners to rent nights to tourists, wouldn't there be an even bigger market for the same kind of startup to simplify renting by the month to service workers?
"It remains to be seen what will happen when these half ape and half reptilian children meet and reproduce and if they will have any special abilities."
In line with terrestrial cultural values they have accumulated much fame and the gold that goes with it, but as recent events in Paris have shown, they need special training in Earth security.
"its probably true, its probably also not because apple is that much superior. its probably a combination between less virusses and crapware and available settings and people using the macs not being completely retarded when using pcs."
I see two reasons: OS X (now macOS) is Unix based, like Linux but not fragmented into a brazillion distros all pulling in different directions, and the small number of standard Apple hardware platforms. Each PC is, in contrast, a snowflake slightly different from the rest. Though Windows is written to do a tolerable job of supporting the myriad slightly different PC hardware configurations, it's going to bluescreen when it encounters some combination of an unfamiliar graphics card with an unfamiliar mouse.
I have never seen a company so good at breaking functional OS installs with updates.
After installing any new version of Windows, all PC users get used to having a small percentage of Windows Updates fail to install. As time goes on, 'update rot' causes an increasing percentage of updates to fail, always for some reason the user knows nothing about. Windows Update even has a 'hide this update' feature intended to prevent endless attempts to install a failed update.
Eventually, update rot on some PCs eventually turns into total update death, in which every boot of the system begins with the message "Installing Windows Updates..." You have to watch the machine grind through half an hour of installing the same series of updates that all fail, followed by restore from a pre-update restore point. This is generally when the user starts budgeting for a Mac to replace the cursed thing.

Would any advertiser use an app that was biologically designed to repel young people in the prime shopping years?

I thing you need to reset Cortana Dictation.
"Just like he promised to stop GMOs from being forced upon unsuspecting consumers...."
But he has stopped the oil pipelines, so your beloved Stone Age probably isn't as far away as you think.
One more administration like this, and the only Democrat energy source left will be the rapidly spinning body of Franklin Roosevelt.
Outside dense urban areas, AT & T can't get a signal through to save its life. Now if Verizon spied on us, I would be concerned.
This could also be an ideal transplant organ for airline agents.
Make a rich set of font and size options available in computers and devices, and every user will be able to read whats' out there.
It's human nature that we will make any journey that is enabled by the technology of its time. It's always been that way, and it always will.

Okay, you dig the hole and I'll get the ticks.
The fingerprint reader would also be used for shopping the Ammo Store.
Nationalized homeopathy? So if you don't go to the homeopathic hospital, wouldn't a believer get better even faster?

DDoS is not a magic death ray that cannot be countered:

If your DNS provider can be burned down by script kiddies, you need a provider who knows something about security.

In what way is homeopathy being paid for by the taxpayer? Are you referencing some California or Massachusetts thing?
