Last time I looked, they were the only ones making laptops without those goddawful shiny glossy screens (been using Thinkpads since IBM's T21). First thing I do is format and install the OS of my choice anyway. Not that that excuses preloading crapware on their machines. I do need a new laptop though -- would love some recommendations for Linux-friendly brands.
This is not a chicken/egg problem. This is now a known scientific fact. The Beginning of the universe, according to this information, must have had an observer.
"You're very clever, young man, very clever- but it's turtles all the way down!"
So, his father set up having local cops handcuff his kid? Did he use the Force to compel them to do that? Vulcan Mind meld? Regular old hypnotism? Regardless of whether this kid is a genius or a regular kid, the reactions of the school and the police were completely OTT.
If you don't follow the law you will get in trouble.
If you were to change the word driving to drilling or perhaps had pharmaceutical companies say "the FDA is subject to delays so we decided to sell out drug anyway" would Uber supporters say "thats ok - regulations are stupid!"
Love the OTT emotive designation --- so paying for content but not being happy about being given a piss-poor selection for the same cost is piracy now is it?
It is a very good way to stop anyone talking about what was actually in all the released internal documents though. While the media's been all over this stupid N. Korea angle, where are the reports about the actual scandals in the released documents?
Seriously, the rush to electronic voting after the 2000 Presidential election was just a bad idea all the way around -- and, frankly, most IT people with any experience were saying so. It is vastly, vastly harder to change physical media than to change electronics.
Which of course nicely, nicely explains the rush to electronic voting after the 2000 Presidential election.
That award has pretty much 0 to do with real achievement. It is a political power play. Up until Obama got the peace prize I though otherwise. How can you get the prize for having not DONE anything... At least at this point they could point at something and give him one...
You're confusing the Nobel Peace prize, which is as you say political in nature (interesting you picked on the Obama prize, stupid as it was, but missed Henry Kissinger's peace prize, is certainly ridiculous) with the Nobel prizes for scientific merit.
"I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh so very special about a firm, young carrot."
These silly "solutions" the TSA keeps rolling out don't seem to be accomplishing anything other than annoying air travelers. If any of these measures had actually demonstrably stopped even one attempted attack, don't you think the TSA would be crowing it from the rooftops?
I think you miss the point... they are accomplishing what they're designed to do: make someone a whole lot of money.
If only they'd let Fred Phelps into the UK in the first place we'd be rid of one extra dirtbag....oh, you mean he doesn't use a OMFG computer? He just shows up and yells obscenities at funerals? Well that's OK then. This is so fucked.
So, we're all waiting for Jenny McCarthy's take on this development right? Age of Autism will be ramping up the PR machine by now to mobilise their horde of mommybloggers around the globe to fight this. Can't wait for the Andrew Wakefield press conference...
I just read the stuff at the link in your sig. Interesting though it is, the guy fumbles the ball at this bit, which then undermines everything else he's saying:
To understand it you must understand the difference. Hundreds of years ago a guy named Galileo said, "the universe is really not FLAT, the way the Vatican says it is". You saw what happened to Galileo. The government, for saying such things, based on SCIENCE, executed him.
Galileo said the universe is not flat? They executed him? Huh? Kinda odd coming from someone so obsessed with truth to just make stuff up for effect.

Republicans don't have as much sway in the UK as you seem to think.
He really said "evildoers"? What is this, September 12th 2001?

Unfortunately the answer is "probably"
There was one at the top of my street when I was a kid.

And I want a user friendly internet, free from governments, corporations, extreme advertising and other content inappropriate for ANYONE.

Sure wish I had some mod points to give you today.
And he references John Maynard Smith's work outlined in Evolution and the Theory of Games. (A good read if you're interested.)

They already did make wearing a mask a crime in Canada, punishable by 10 fucking years in jail.
If you read the documents, the FBI wanted data on the activities of a Microsoft enterprise customer not one of the common people.

Sulphur-based life? I don't think so. They have a great deal of sulfide-based chemistry but their biology is still carbon-based.
And a lot of asshats are hunters. I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
