Nope, sometimes things just die. Like passenger pigeons and dodos and Tasmanian wolves. They didn't turn into something else. They didn't leave any descendants.
Wow. Wings are not flaps of skin. They are limbs. Next time you eat chicken, ask for a wing. Tear it apart. That hard stuff in the middle of it is bones, just like the bones in your arms. And feathers came before wings - turns out they are excellent protection from extreme temperatures and lighter than hair. That's why humans use down comforters and coats instead of bearskins to keep us warm.
Communism doesn't even work at a village level. It breaks down as soon as it reaches the limit of a resource, and all resources are limited. Someone has to allocate that resource. Under capitalism, the most productive user would, ie, the user that creates the most value, would be able to pay more for their need than less productive users. Thus you have a system that produces the most wealth possible with the resources available to the village. Under communism, the user with the most political clout would get decide who uses the resources regardless of productivity. Thus you have a less productive, less wealthy and more slowly advancing society. And that's before the inevitable corruption of the communist committee. And it gets even worse when the common ownership of the resource inevitably leads to the Tragedy of the commons..
Communism is a bad system and cannot succeed at any level. It isn't even internally consistent.
How do they cheat? If you claim that they are getting the tickets from the venue, then there must be some procedure in the agreement between the venue and the Ticketmaster that allows this diversion of tickets to employees. That's not cheating, it's built into the rules of the game and neither the band, venue nor Ticketmaster are losing anything. Or do you imagine that security is so lax that the scalpers are stealing tickets? That's a whole different problem.
But nobody seems to be addressing the real issue here: Just exactly who are scalpers harming? The band gets paid the amount they contracted for, as do the venue and Ticketmaster. It's the scalpers take the risk and end up eating unsold tickets. The consumers who buy their tickets from the scalpers are not forced to spend any more money than they are willing to spend for that show. They may piss and moan, but it is they who decide how much their tickets will cost, no one else. That's pretty much the definition of an open market. In stock markets, scalpers are called market makers.
A more perfect method for selling tickets would be for the band to auction off the seats, either individually or in small blocks, on eBay. That way everyone would be able to get as good a ticket as they are willing to pay for and all the money goes directly to the band. Short of that, having scalpers making the ticket market is the best system for consumers and bands - the middleman, Ticketmaster, only loses opportunity because they collect every cent of the price they set.
And here's another rule that NBA teams have figured out but not musicians - if you sell out a show, you aren't charging enough for the tickets.
Yeah, there was quite a bit of that in the middle years, but in the end, of the four main guys, one killed another one and himself, and then the heroic cop-killer ratted out his last friend to save his own ass.
It does not insure privacy. Notice that the article says that you have to open the case and show the contents to the agent, and, not in the article, they have to verify that it is unloaded. You can't just say "there's a gun in that bag" and slide it past security.
No, copying a book was rarely, if ever, for the purpose of creating a backup copy. It was the only way to make another copy of a book, so that it could be, for example, sold. Every time a new church opened, it needed a bible. Somebody had to run off that copy.
There was a law in Alexandria that all travelers had to turn over their books to the library so they could be copied. These weren't backup copies, these were copies that belonged to the library.
If Baxter did not intentionally do this, they are incompetent and should not even be dealing with manufacturing vaccines.
Yes, their incompetence led to killing some Austrian ferrets. That's a long way from proving that they, or anyone else, “actually released the virus in the wilds of Mexico.” In fact, the lack of the deadly pandemic demonstrates that the contaminated vaccine was not released into the wild, in Mexico or Austria or anywhere else.
Thank you. I didn't think it was possible, but you have provided evidence disproving your thesis.
Uh huh. A patent for a method of making less infectious viral strains that can compete with virulent strains. Nothing here about releasing a virus, nor any mention of Mexico.
On the front line, all redundancy has been taken out of the NHS, it operates (ha ha) at full capacity on a 'normal' day
Which is about what it has to do. Who would pay to maintain empty hospital beds and staff with no one to care for, and extra supplies that sit in storage until they expire? You do realize that’s what you're advocating, no?
“ Influenza may have killed as many as 25 million in its first 25 weeks. Older estimates say it killed 40–50 million people[4] while current estimates say 50—100 million people worldwide were killed.”
What is your evidence that the government was “hooked” by sensationalism? The way it looked to me, governments were the source of the sensationalism and pushed the drug companies into enormous production.
But of course, you're stuck in your asinine belief that no government can do any wrong and all the evil in the world is produced by corporations. Pull your head out and take a look around.
But it would take a big hit on your speed before it would be worth bothering with. If you're running a analysis that takes 100 days to run, you're not going to be much bothered when it stretches out an extra day.
The real concern is for really short applications with hard deadlines, such as a missile interceptor. When you have only a couple of seconds to track, aim and make your shot, 20 milliseconds can mean a lot.
"6. Therefore we must immediately lock up everyone possessing any depictions of minors naked or in sexual or sexually suggestive positions or situations, explicit or implied."
Then let's get every prosecutor who has tried one of these cases. "Zero tolerance" makes them sex offenders too.
When you were running an 8-bit CPU at 4.7 Mhz, USB 1 was incomprehensibly fast - pure science fiction. That 3GB of of photos filled a good-sized cabinet with 9-track tapes in those days too.
As this act clearly marks the end of democracy in that country, it is imperative that the US invade immediately to preserve democracy and build a new, democratic, constitutional basis for the government before we can withdraw our troops. We owe it to the people of our long-time friend and ally to save them from the loss of their freedom.
Which is why they don't want everyone using encryption. As long as they can raise a jury of people who don't, they can get by with the "they were using encryption, so they must be doing something wrong" argument, but when the jury is full of people who all use it, then that argument fails and they have to actually work for a living.

Yep, no longer. As of right now, MSFT market cap is $208.75 B while AAPL is $226.23 B .
Well, there's that, but also porn is in color whereas erotica is graytone or sepia.

It wasn’ the kid that made the vice-principal look stupid, it was the police. They completely overreacted and made a silly situation hazardous.

That's a mighty libelous accusation you have made there, hotshot. Got anything to back it up?
Yeah, I didn’t think so.

And that is why they need to be put in jail themselves.
Wasn't that the same impact that killed Tricia Tanaka?
They also dropped Firewire from the MacMini, replacing the port with 3 more USB ports, and the MacBook Air has never had Firewire at all.
