It doesn't make sense legally speaking, but that's the answer to your question.
I've been saying gravity isn't a thing ever since I saw the first explanation of gravity using a bowling ball on a bed or trampoline. It still isn't proven, but I go about my life as if it is.
Gravity does affect things, and those effects ripple out, and sometimes cause gravitational waves. The only difference is that they aren't caused by gravity as a force.
I think of gravity more like centrifugal force. It's there and measurable, but it isn't real. It's centripedal force, in a different reference frame. That might help you process this news.
130 million voters is 55% turnout, for 2012. To change the results, you need 5-10% change in vote totals, only considering additional voters. Swapping votes requires less.
So 13 million voters out of the remaining 100 million, at most. Payments of $10 might mobilize some, estimate $100 million in payouts. Easily achieved. And races other than presidential, like congress, are significantly less expensive since they are state level or lower.
So now both parties do it, and it becomes an auction for each vote. Back to the question of who can raise more money, only there is no platform nor issues discussed.
The people won't stand for it. The elite realize it gets expensive quickly.
QED, it must be fought. It's not a question of ethics, although I could make that argument in 250 pages or less if you want to fund me for a year.
Any medical needs, other than prescription, are cash only. Most alcohol, sometimes including at a restaurant, cash only, food separate on credit. Countless other legal things cash sometimes at least.
Why? Because someone is going to use credit card data against me at some point. And I built enough of a paper trail that the cash is a minor percentage. I can claim Starbucks or similar, not wanting to put $2 on a card.
First step in ensuring we can survive when this planet is no longer habitable, is establishing a presence on another planet.
And when the time comes, another solar system.
And because we can. Or at least one guy in charge of a lot of related tech can. Electric cars, batteries, mass transport, rockets... Elon has most of what he needs in house.
Eventually, we won't have a choice. So I'd vote for ASAP rather than wait for public interest to die out. The mars one reality show never was viable, but got lots of volunteers. This guy seems to have a chance.
That's the answer, doesn't make it true. I've had many instances of being told many conflicting things, enough that I can't quote one response and consider it final.
What happened to critical thinking, or at least considering alternatives?
Taking a fact that matches your beliefs, yet is not actually true, is literally the whole problem of the current USA election cycle. And you are part of the problem, regardless of your country of citizenship.
In addition, sibling post is correct about customer service repeating talking points, frequently without understanding. Same problem.
Those are in progress. A single company, Tesla, answers half your post. A lot of money is being spent on all the things on your list, work is being done, progress made.
You are talking about learning the fundamentals to provide a solid baseline to support a thorough understanding of how machines work, and thus how code actually runs.
That's not the topic here, because it will prevent most people from learning. The opposite of the goal here.
I agree that C and assembly should be studied and learned, but your goal is winnowing out anyone who doesn't yet have the spark of interest, or who hasn't developed the kind of logic processing you can teach through programming.
Your plan will produce 99.9% non coders and.1% rock stars. Not the goal here.
You're not making sense. What should venture capital be funding? I can probably give you a detailed explanation. But I don't see anything likely to actually work and be used that also isn't being developed.
If it clearly won't work, or people don't want to work that way, there's no point backing it. Making money isn't even part of this, since we has open source software and hardware that techies are making available to improve life.
I rip to flac, generate 15% par2 redundancy, and burn to 2 DVDs. Test yearly or so, and any suspect discs get copied to disc and restored. Any differences might get investigated, if it happened. But it doesn't.
I give shit away just so I can burn another copy. That's what DRM did, it made me ensure my data is good by giving it away so I can make a new original.
Digital rights means if I bought it, I don't buy it again. Digital Restrictions means I avoid any loss. Not lost one yet, but I keep after it to make sure.
And yes I have shitpiles of DivX from way back, and installers on cd. If things go tits up, I can restore quake and peggle.
Me. I want that. And a guy I work with, we both want that. You want a better buggy whip, we want cars. You get motion sickness, we get, like, roid rage or something.
It's so awesome, I don't know how we even liked 2D movies.
You're stupid and wrong, and history will be on my side. So take a moment and answer your own question. Who wants this? Who doesn't? Anyone sensitive to motion sickness will automatically not get it, so your judgement is flawed.
Where was this tried, and how much experience do you have with that legal system?
I have none, and it sounds like you have experience with that if a different country.
It might be better to state your bias, and ask if the jurisdiction has similar concepts. Otherwise it sounds like the old adage, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
The moment government invented superior weapons, like nuclear bombs, the government has been out of the control of citizens.
Third parties are afterthoughts, and even the wrong first party candidate loses support. The citizen cannot vote for change. Minor change, sure, but that barely registers.
The revolution will not be televised. It will happen so slowly that any concept if control goes out the window. There is no control, only the occasional nudge.
We can avoid the iceberg if a lot of people take over the wheel, or if a few start it turning at the first warning. So far, neither has happened. Not significantly.
Are you disagreeing with the points made in the article? Because anecdotes don't help here. Pointing out how this conclusion is flawed based on some aspect of the data or data gathering process might help.
But for now, you are an isolated element in an unrepresentative area of the world.
Facts on equal footing, not a study vs your diary.
But that's not how other people think. The ability to influence your purchasing, quantify your tolerance for debt, front run your stock picks. That's their utopia.
People like Turing and Hopper and Babbage might have saved countless years of effort, but they pulled a trigger on human misery we won't fully wade into for 20 years at least. And it will still be warm and inviting long before most people feel the undertow.
No ones utopia is the same, and convenience will doom all but the luddites. At some point, you will have to decide if you like your tech enough to take it off grid, and then its just you and the compiler you wrote and the processer you mined and soldered.
patient [pey-shuh nt] noun 1.a person who is under medical care or treatment. 2.a person or thing that undergoes some action. 3.Archaic. a sufferer or victim.

Some assjack blocked his source code downloads for desktop Firefox. So I went to get Chrome, thinking it was browser sniffing or something. And it took 3 different attempts to download. One did nothing, I got an installer that would only crash, then a zero byte installer.
Finally used IE, which spawned one of those things where you can't just download, probably ActiveX bullshit.
I cancelled that, opened wget, and everyone is happy. And yes the download works on chrome mobile, and HTC's shitbrowser from years ago, both with js disabled. So I don't know why desktop Firefox was blocked.
Point is, chrome was just not trustworthy. If I can't virus scan an installer after a few days of quarintine, I usually won't let it run.
How can any dashslot reader still post retarded nonsense like this?
I tried not to respond to recent "duh dark matter obviously isn't a thing" posts, but Christmas Jesus humping a granite yarmulke, this idiocy has to stop.
Meta moderators take note, this ignorance will be troll or overrated. And this is why: Fundamental misunderstanding, or intentional ignorance deserves no consideration. Argue about what it is, what it means.. but don't argue that it doesn't exist, unless you have a NObel quality replacement. Until then, do your arguing in peer reviewed journals.
Several popular toolkits generate fancy charts and graphs as images, server side, and provide them as images. And for testing, it is useful to know the most common browser sizes. Because CSS and HTML in general let things flow and get cocked up.
Finally, the client and servers both need to reflect standards completely and accurately, which is a huge assumption. Much better to control your fingerprint, because your vision of reality is just not going to happen. Or preach to the choir if you really need to vent.
This only makes sense out of context. The conspiracy theory is that a revolutionary, workable solution gets bought and shelved, to continue reliance on traditional fuels. If it is so revolutionary, why not bring it back?
Also, you are really general, instead of addressing the energy sector specifically. Lots of energy companies are in the toilet now, and are in a good position to revive discarded stuff, even if it just buys then a few years of positive balance sheets.
Sure big business won't look at something that they can't own exclusively. But these are supposed to be cheap and simple and all sorts of things. An established small business in the industry should be able to make waves with this discarded tech, be first to market, and have a killer business. That's the basis of all of these conspiracy nutters' whole argument. Of it hadn't been bought, people would do this in their garages.
Not just happens rarely, but this never happens with these supposedly functional technologies. Ergo, conspiracy nuts are the whackadoodles I always figured they would be.
"No claims are made here that these rankings are representative of general usage more broadly. They are nothing more or less than an examination of the correlation between two populations we believe to be predictive of future use, hence their value."
There's a whole pile of disclaimers at the bottom of their list, this being one. So that's already addressed.
And 20 years later when the patent expires and no one wants a functioning, researched, unencumbered technology? How does your conspiracy handle that scenario?
It's like you read 13 words and then stopped. I specifically pointed to an existing interface knockoff as not being the solution.
Consistency is lacking, which is one thing windows users expect. I said I don't care if it is windows or Mac style, as long as it is consistent.
Not just applications, but there are several desktop environments, and distros configure them differently. You're going to need one specific distro to point people to. Sure they can figure out knoppix, but do they stick with it? No, because of lots of reasons.
Commit to consistency, and users will feel more comfortable. Make it *function* like windows and people will *enjoy* a different look and feel.
If I can do Alt f w f and have a new folder, I'm happy. That doesn't work on server 2012, but it worked since at least windows 95. If it is a different combo, I can deal. But every application has its own rules, and I'm not re-learning how to use a computer.
That's what Microsoft does well, what apple used to do well, and what canonical nearly had till it shat all over itself. nd it's why users will not feel at home and stick with linux for the desktop.
