If you have to cheat on your partner and risk bringing some STD back home then perhaps divorce is in order or maybe time spent with someone in the mental health industry.
Have a Great Day sir.
I find this whole Ashley Madison issue supports my belief that anybody who would cheat on their spouse / partner or whatever is a looser from the get go.
Just goes to show there is a looser born every minute.
In a free republic which we are suppose to have; the law should be in the public domain, and freely available.
If it is not one must ask; what kind of Facist / communist state does Georgia think it is..
We are talking about the Georgia that is a US State, right?
I started working for an aerospace company in 1981 I was working as an RF tech on a microwave transmitter line.
When I was introduced to my mentor and had seen all the wall of test equipment on his bench, I was hopeful I would get to use some of that five year old test gear.
That wasn't going to be the case, not at first. There was an HP-5245 (not even the L version) frequency counter that went back to about 1960. A Tektronix model 543 scope and an HP spectrun analyzer that not only twenty one years old but was red tagged. There were other old pieces of gear, the counter used discreet transistor logic, the spectrum analyzer and scope were all tube type gear. Most everything else was from the mid to late sixties. One of the pieces of advice I was given was to never turn off any of the gear, some of it might not start up again. There were a number of work arounds that were employed to get meaningful and accurate data from the spectrum analyzer. It was actually fun for the three months I was going to be using that gear. When my probation period ended and I had not blown anything up I was moved to a new on the oppisite isle with all new (less than ten years old) gear, and I was promoted.
Later in life I worked for a small publishing company as their shipping and distribution manager.
My computer was a Pentium 75 with 48 megs of ram (after I upgraded it) running win-98 and a piect of custom made database that used Dbase 4X as the engine.
I don't know how many years old that software was, I think it was from the mod to late eighties. They never backed it up until the day I hired on. They never backed anything up. This was in 2005...
I'm not one to complain about how old or outdated a tool is; after all if it gets the job done and is still reliable that is all that matters.
In terms of other communications technologies we are bound to the EM spectrum for the time being.
There may be other mediums to communicate though using different technologies.
Our ancestors back around the end of the last ice age couldn't comprehend that a refined mineral could generate heat if you piled some of that mineral together. (Uranium). They thought the only places heat came from was the sun and burning organic materials.
We could be at that point in our development as a species that we simply haven't discovered other means by which to communicate. We haven't reached an understanding of how gravity actually works, we have a long way to go.
Yes we would, I am sure those civilizations have had debates like the ones we have had. Sending out a big signal "we are here" is a good way to attract predictors, well before that civilization might be ready to defend itself.
.
The search for radio signals from other planetary systems may be an effort that will be in vain.
The reason I say this stems from our own progress in communications technology.
The era of high power radio broadcasts is on its way out in our civilization, something close to a hundred twenty years after the invention of wireless transmission. We are moving toward wide bandwidth, low power transmissions for our broadcasting. All of this milliwatt level stuff will not be bearable even a fraction of the way to next star since it will be burred in the cosmic background. (cell phones, WiFi etc).
One of the problems that NASA has encountered is the tradeoff between bandwidth and signal to noise ration. Low speed data transmissions are used for deep space probes because it makes the best tradeoff between bandwidth and signal to noise ratio. Assuming other civilizations evolved much like we have; more and more information will be interchanged as their wireless technology evolves. Signal bandwidth will increase which lowers the effective distance a radio signal of the same effective radiated power can travel before that signal becomes burried in the noise.
This project like others who have come before it will yield no communications from another civilization, the laws of physics, and technologies on other worlds that may have followed the same evolutionarily path as we are working against it.
I won't be eating someone's cloths, so it makes no difference unless they plan on washing the food in said cloths.
For your and my protection society cannot be plug and play, WE must take an active part in educating ourselves on what we put into our body and the bodies of our children.
Besides;
The really silly part of all this..
It costs no more to label the food if it has GM components.
Anytime you are not allowed to know what is in your food, how it was made, or where it came from, you know your government is not looking out for Your Interest.
Any place I need to go that is within 8 miles I usually walk there unless I have to cross a freeway, or carry heavy items home. When I was working for a small publishing company I walked to and from work every day, 12 miles round trip, The amount of time it took me to get there was just under 1.5 hours one way. While I could take public transit home, going to work was often at odd hours and the bus here doesn't run at 2:50 in the morning. In some situations people would need to transfer to another bus trolly or subway to get to work, in my case I could have taken the bus most of the way home but why bother, the walk was enjoyable.
Being on a stuffy bus sharing everyone's BO isn't such a glamorous thought, on the road walking; I can listen to my own music, talk on the phone and I only have to put up with My BO and a few pan handlers.

Just dreaming out loud... I'll be back, I need to throw the dog PooP into MR. Fusion..

This could be the material of the century, imagine exercise sweats that charge your smartphone.
