Interesting, you seem to have dropped your insistance that I must have a felony conviction in order for me to be arrested if I try to go and vote Tromp.
No, I think you've indicted yourself capably there. And I don't know who "Tromp" is, so try again.
If the NSA admits to mining Facebook, it's reasonable to think they're probably mining other social media sites like Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc etc.
Add Facebook and all the other social media sites that get mined and I wouldn't be surprised to find 80 or 85% of American faces are in a government database.
"researchers say the jab was almost 96% effective in tests"
Well, shit, that's four pregnancies for every hundred copulations; I wouldn't call a four-percent failure rate "effective". I'd call it a sure thing. It's like Russian Roulette with orgasms.
I mean, if an airplane had a "successful" landing rate of 96%, would you fly on it?
To put it another way, would you eat at a restaurant where four out of every hundred people got sick from the food? I wouldn't.
A 4% failure rate is nothing to brag about. It's better than condoms (12%) but you're still going to be making babies left and right.
Don't worry you'll figure it out soon enough. It's not a very hard puzzle
Nah, I don't waste my time on trivia. The fact that you're a felon doesn't change my opinion of you.
Frankly I'm just doing this to push your buttons, but it's just too easy. I can even force you to reply because you simply can't help yourself, can you?
This is just one more reason I don't have any social media accounts and never will.
You and me both.
I got stuff to do, I can't be wanking off all day on twitter and instacrap and pinterest and linkedin and facebook. None of those site hold the slightest interest for me, zip, zero, nada.
Because it has no bearing whatsoever on the topic at hand, yer nosy blighter. Don't matter if I been in gaol or ain't
Sounds like a convict's answer to a straightforward question.

if I were to turn up to a polling both on the 28th and try voting for Trump, the old bill would be right up me arse quicker than a rat up a bloody drain pipe innit.
Acquisition cost of an A10: ~ zero. They aren't building any more. Yes, there will be upgrades, but even the upgrades are not going to cost as much as the cost to build a new jet.
What about running costs? The cost to fly an F35 for one hour is much, much higher than that of an A10.
I agree completely, and you're making my point for me. Did you perhaps misread what I wrote?
The problem is that the A10 is simply a much better plane than the F35. I doubt that the one size fits all aspect of the 35 will allow it to ever have competency in any of it's planned missions.
Exactly. The F-35 is a jack-of-all-trades, and apparently a master of none.
Uhh, wrong. You should ABSOLUTELY factor in the sunk cost, especially if it reveals the fact that you've spent waaaaay too much and should scrap the project and start over.
That won't give your money back.
Correct, but it may prevent you from flushing more money down a rat hole.
Sunk cost is sunk cost. How much you spent on a project in the past is irrelevant at this point in time.
With all due respect, that's just not true. Any competent financial analyst or project manager will agree that what you've spent on a project in the past is entirely relevant moving forward, especially when the project's overall viability is in question.
On one hand one should not count the sunk cost when thinking of what is the best strategy to go forward
Uhh, wrong. You should ABSOLUTELY factor in the sunk cost, especially if it reveals the fact that you've spent waaaaay too much and should scrap the project and start over.
Might SETI 'change society'? For thousands of years we believed there was an ideal extraterrestrial community caled 'Heaven' - did that help us stop wars? Do those who still believe abstain from genocide? Would any other cosmic certainty improve things?
Because this time it would be real and the majority of people would know deep down it was true, regardless of what their religion said. Some might choose to ignore it or disbelieve, but most would accept it as a fact.
A lot of people who claim to believe in god don't really believe in god. But I bet most people would believe in SETI signals if they were well-verified and a majority of scientists who understood this stuff agreed and supported the findings.
That said, I don't think it would necessarily reform society, but it might shift the mindset considerably in some areas. It wouldn't stop murder or genocide or wars, but it might help spark more self-awareness in people in general, and that's the start of empathy, cooperation, etc. It would also gives all the cranks an "other" to hate that wasn't a human person or group.
Windows 10 is constantly "semi-forgetting" networks, so it shows the network as visible, but won't autoconnect. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, but the usual solution is to forget the network and then rejoin, sometimes with a reboot.
I don't use Win 10 but I have several friends that report the same thing. It just drops the connection randomly. Some people step away for a moment and come back and the connection is visible but no longer connected.
Oftentimes reentering the password doesn't work (it always says it's "wrong", even when we know damn well it's been entered correctly). As you mention, they usually have to to forget the network and then rediscover/rejoin it. This happens with both laptops and desktops.
I cannot agree more. It is baffling to me that they would do such a thing.
I'm guessing it's tied to some sort of legal liability issue or something like that. If it's not, then I'd love to hear their reasoning on why they do this.

Wait- you're saying that Apple stuff costs more than competing products? Color me shocked!

"...with one study reporting that 50% of American faces are already in a government database"
I'd be surprised if it was only 50%. Just between the DMV and Facebook (which the NSA admits they mine for data) I think it'd be higher than that.
There are about 214 million licensed drivers in the U.S. according to Statista (https://www.statista.com/statistics/191653/number-of-licensed-drivers-in-the-us-since-1988/). That's about 67% of the 319 million people in the US as of 2014.
If the NSA admits to mining Facebook, it's reasonable to think they're probably mining other social media sites like Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc etc.
Add Facebook and all the other social media sites that get mined and I wouldn't be surprised to find 80 or 85% of American faces are in a government database.
I wonder what felony you think I've been convicted of.
If I had to guess, I'd probably say child molesting or rape. Or being an AI nutter.

Isn't ultrasound, by definition, inaudible to humans?
Well, yes, but let's not get all "facty" and stuff.

Yes, yes, so you keep saying. *Yawn*
Not every reply has to dispute the parent.
I wasn't sure, which is why I asked.
So are you denying that you had a felony conviction or not?
Why on earth do you think I have a felony conviction in the first place?
Why won't you answer the question? Do you have a felony conviction or not?
"Inaudible Ultrasound"....as opposed to the other kind.

Cost of an A-10: ~$18.8 million
Cost of an F-35: ~109 million
Cost of an F-35 not being able to support ground troops adequately: $1,000,000,000,000,000,000
Nonetheless whether or not I had a felony conviction
So are you denying that you had a felony conviction or not?

The man simply doesn't want me voting in the presidential elections.
I don't either, but not just because you're a convicted felon.
But like I said, if I go to a booth and try to vote Tromp I'll bet they'll arrest me because that's how things are now.
As they should, if that person is a convicted felon like you.

It's innocent until proven guilty, right?
So you were convicted? Doesn't surprise me a bit.
Perhaps you could tell the Redmond shill who modded me a Troll.
Oh, he/she already knows, that's why they're doing it.
