Dont justify the use of nukes. It just cant be done.
If nukes hadn't been used, the rest of the world would not have realized the true power of them. Therefor the deterrence would not have been as successful as it has been.
That doesn't truly justify them, but the saving of thousands perhaps millions of lives by ending the war does.
Executive Orders? Where in the Constitution does it say that the President has the right to issue Executive Orders?
I can't speak for how executive orders apply to the civilian sector, but in the military the President is the top dog. Therefor an executive order is one the military must follow under the UCMJ.
TFA doesn't give much in technical details, but as I understand it, they are using the human skull as a heterodyne circuit. Basically mixing two microwave signals inside the skull to create audio.
"To serve and protect" -- Police motto. I don't think everything needs to be in the Constitution to be understood.
While I agree that the police can "protect" for city functions like parades and such, it is naive to think that they can protect your home from a burgler. This is where my owning a gun becomes a necessity.
The Brick Testament I like how they try and promote there books as Sunday School friendly, yet their website is loaded with nudity and violence. Blasphemous and funny.
approach to fighting video game piracy. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
( ) Video game pirates can easily use it to harvest gamer addresses (X) Legitimate gamer uses would be affected ( ) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money ( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks (X) It will stop video game piracy for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it (X) Users of gamer will not put up with it ( ) Microsoft will not put up with it ( ) The police will not put up with it (X) Requires too much cooperation from video game pirates ( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once ( ) Many gamers cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers ( ) Video game pirates don't care about invalid addresses in their lists ( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it (X) Lack of centrally controlling authority for gamer ( ) Open relays in foreign countries ( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all gamer addresses (X) Asshats ( ) Jurisdictional problems ( ) Unpopularity of weird new taxes ( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money ( ) Huge existing software investment in SMTP ( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack (X) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by gamer ( ) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes ( ) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches (X) Extreme profitability of video game piracy ( ) Joe jobs and/or identity theft ( ) Technically illiterate politicians ( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with video game pirates (X) Dishonesty on the part of video game pirates themselves ( ) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering ( ) Outlook
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(X) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical ( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable ( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation ( ) Blacklists suck ( ) Whitelists suck ( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored ( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud ( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks ( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually ( ) Playing games should be free ( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers? (X) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses ( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem (X) Temporary/one-time gamer addresses are cumbersome ( ) I don't want the government playing my games ( ) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(X) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work. ( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it. ( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
No, they got it correct you are just looking at it from the wrong side. They are talking about moving the wheel and watching the chain. You are talking about moving the chain and watching the wheel.
I have an old 555 chip counter that I built back in the late 70's. It just sits there and counts over and over from zero to seven and displays that on a set of three LED's. Uses an old 6 volt lamp battery and is still running.
It doesn't really use software in the truest sense, but it is "programed".
Is it just me, or do I see some sort of story about Daylight savings every year. Some tout a study about a waste of energy/money. Others talk about we are just one step away from changing the system. If you ask me, society wont change the system. We are too ingrained with it. Yes, there are better methods. Yes, the Military has been using a 24 hour "Zulu" clock based on GMT. So what... we as a society are not going to change it any time soon.
Sorry, but we have a consensus of scientists to prove that the sun has NO effect on the Earths temperature. If the sun went cold overnight, the Earth would still be heating up due to global warming.
Please tell me you are being sarcastic...
Last time I check... Winter was caused by the angle of the planet. Meaning that the further away from the sun the colder the surface temp. Now if you want to talk about the core temp of the earth, then I suppose it would be possible that the sun has no effect. But then, core temp has little to do with global warming.
I don't think rocket powered is quite correct... looks like they are using a catalyst (sp?) to convert a cold liquid into a hot gas. Then using the gas to power actuators, much like the old steam engines.

I was thinking the same thing... WTF?
Spiritual != Religion
It is possible for Atheists and Agnostics to be spiritual without having religion.
Caring and spirituality as synonymous in this sense.

BTW, you still think the Big Bad Osama also was rensposible for the Oklahoma city bombing? Because he was the first suspect for that too.
One news media bringing up the name of Osama Bin Laden, does not mean the USA accused him of being responsible for the OKC bombing.

Think Orwell's Big Brother and Corporate Personhood.
Which is exactly why I own guns.

I'm even more against the government having guns and the people not having guns, if you get where I'm going.
Ah, Utopia...
Its a great idea, except that as long as any single human has an opinion or free will, this Utopia will never exist.

The PS3's babysitting OS also doesn't let Linux on the PS3 use 3D acceleration
Ya, that is the one thing I would like to see. With the rate of development for Linux on the PS3, I think we won't have to wait long.

Sounds like a challenge!
No encryption scheme is 100%; some are just better than others. When will people learn!

Please keep these kind of videos to the sites that specialize in them... easier to ignore that way.

When Metallica promoted copying cassettes to get there album out. (Garage Days)
People only remember the Napster incident.
I suspect that the band will do what there finance advisers tell them to do.
