They see the opposition that President Trump is receiving, and they see the source of this opposition. And they start to think that President Trump is right, and that he's needed more now than ever before. His support continues to grow and grow, all thanks to those who are trying to oppose him!
By this logic, if I modded you down, I'd mod you up.
The TPP's biggest problem is that it's too big. The treaty covers too much ground any good part is drowned out by the bad, like fine wine mixed with moonshine. Maybe that's the way the authors intended it, a bait-and-switch, where the putative benefits are trumpeted while the potential harm is played down.
The success rate of Russian missions to Mars is quite low. In fact, if we don't include the launches made by the former USSR, which also had a low success rate, the success rate would be zero: two mission failures out of two launches. In contrast, India, a relative newcomer to deep space, managed to succeed with its one and only mission to Mars.
This is such a huge corruption scandal that's gone on over a decade, Brazil is going to have to be very aggressive to clean the rot out of the system. Stories about "overreach" are coming from wealthy criminals who have hired reputation management/PR flacks feeding stories to gullible/corrupt journalists.
Be careful what you wish for. The same tools used in a "war" against corruption could in the future be used against less famous and less wealthy people whose main crime would be merely their failure to follow the rules of an overly complex legal system. I'm all for hounding mass murderers and dictators down to their retirement homes. But if it's a matter of finding out simply whether the money was properly recorded in some ledger, which is the only proof you're likely to get in a corruption case short of a smoking gun video, then I think it's better to focus on just a few big cases, the ones where the prosecution is most likely to win a conviction, and then fix the laws that allowed such corruption to flourish.
The only reason we should be spending deep space probes in the first place is if we're planning to send humans to deep space. Otherwise, we should be happy staring at our telescopes or taking joy rides to the Karman line. The only exception to this is finding out if there's some nearby heavenly monster out to do us harm, an asteroid headed our way or an impending gamma ray burster, which can probably be detected using ground-based or earth-orbital sensors.
If we're not going to do a crewed, human mission to Mars, then lets stop doing all this supposedly scientific deep space research. Confine our research to low earth orbit or solar observation, since those are the things that matter the most to us down here, aside from the usual mapping and weather forecasting.
The problem is the so called inventions. They are obvious and natural conclusions. There is no revolutionary idea or inspiration. Patents are to reward and motivate people to develop ideas, implement and produce useful products. These inventions were inevitable. If you could wipe everyone mind in the world and all evidence someone would "invent" it within a week if not days. There is no need to reward these "inventions". It is not revolutionary. It's nothing like the invention of transistors or semiconductors.
Every invention is inevitable given enough time. That or something else gets invented that performs the same function. As an example, take the invention of printing. The Chinese and Koreans were said to have invented some form of printing hundreds of years before Gutenberg.
Even if you assumed 50% were inoperable the amount of explosive that would rain on Seoul is insane.
But this is the insanity I don't understand. Why do the Sokors insist on locating their largest city within artillery range of a country it's technically still at war? The government could have easily built, especially during SK's period of rapid growth, a new capital on its southern edge, closer to Japan. If not that, it would have been a rather simple matter, converting some of the other cities into a government center.
Given its central location in the Korean peninsula, Seoul would make an excellent capital for a united Korea, but as it stands, it's a huge security risk and magnet for attack with a mere minutes' advance warning should Kim decide to launch blitzkreig.
The Democrats owned all the black slaves, started the KKK, racially segregated the government [etc]
The first part of your rant might all be true. I'm too lazy to review my US history, so let's assume that it is. But you should be aware that the Democratic party of Lincoln's time is a different donkey from the Democratic party of today. Parties aren't static entities, especially those with a longer apparent history than the parties of Lenin and Mao. They're made of people, and their ideological orientation could flip-flop like the poles or a bisexual in search of love.
These two sentences alone make me chose any of the innumerable competitor products, rather than R-Pi.
It's funny how people go on about "competitor products" but never bother naming them.
Probably because whenever they do, it turns out that they're either not comparable on price or on specs.
Actually there are many Chinese ARM-based development boards and "mini PCs" with much, much better specs. The problem is that they tend to use SoCs designed by some mainland Chinese semiconductor company which refuse, or at least ignore requests, to release even the GPL'ed kernel sources for the chip. Compared to these companies, Broadcom is almost saintly.
With the Raspberry Pi 3 and Windows 10, you can play all Windows games in full HD for only $35!
Feeding the troll: theoretically this will only work for Windows games that have been ported to the ARM architecture. So in theory you could play some WinPhone apps.
Nature could in theory produce a race of impotent but immortal creatures. If true immortality is possible then that would mean the end of evolution for that species.
One puzzle is why evolution has resulted in humans (and the vast majority of other organisms) having a limited lifespan with frequent breeding. Superficially, it would seem more efficient to invest less in the ability to procreate, but permit unlimited healthy lifespans.
It's less of a puzzle when we consider evolution hasn't produced an "unkillable" organism. Since all organisms are eventually killed through internal or external causes, increasing the breeding rate is a greater guarantee that a species or its genes will survive. Let's take a hypothetical extreme case, a race of non-infectious vampires that that neither ages nor breeds or otherwise increase their numbers. Eventually the mutants will thin out to extinction unless they're truly immortal, surviving not just viruses or cancer, but predators, silver bullets, or giant boulders from outer space. So an organism that breeds and dies like bacteria becomes evolutionary more successful than a longer lived but slower breeding blue whale.
I know people like shiny things - but Android is a security nightmare. Really - friends don't let friends use Android.
I have read this so many times this doesn't even qualify as a good troll. Most operating systems nowadays are secure enough so long as you observe a number of commonsense security habits, like: Don't visit shady sites. If you have to, remember the old advice about not eating where you poop. Use a different device to browse porn and to bank online. Don't use a heavily modded or tampered device unless you absolutely know what you're doing. This includes the installation of "cracked" apps and root kits recommended by some pseudonymous forum member.
No problem, right? Wrong! This kernel also rendered the mouse and keyboard inoperable! My only way back was to boot from a LiveUSB, chroot the server and install an older kernel 3.13.28. The hour-ish of downtime was a huge pain in my ass.
I'm not sure I understand your problem. I first assumed that you were doing a remote update. However, seeing you were able to fix the problem using a LiveUSB, it appears you do have physical access to the machine. Did you somehow attempt a remote upgrade, and after that failed, decided to drive down to the farm to fix the server? Because as another poster said, you could easily fix your broken kernel problem by selecting one of the already installed backup kernels from the Grub boot screen.
Socialism has such a great track record. Of murdering people, not so much helping them.
Socialism, just like capitalism, comes in different flavors. If there's totalitarian socialism and democratic socialism, then you also state capitalism and crony capitalism of the Chinese, Russian and US varieties. Yes, I consider the US defense industry crony capitalism.
I listen to a lot of new and indie artists who put their videos on YouTube. If I like their music, I'll happy buy it on iTunes.
So if I don't have an iThing, how do I buy their music? iTunes is not available for Linux or Android. Only choice it seems is to rip the YouTube stream and listen to that.
The overwhelming majority of the so-called Bitcoin bugs we read about are bugs affecting particular implementations. In this case, this concerns the use of common English words as a sort of mnemonic code to generate a set of Bitcoin wallet addresses. A Bitcoin wallet program not using such a security method would not be affected by this attack.
Brain cells and associated nerve connections are necessary to operate muscles. If you exercise more, or perhaps even hone a skill associated with exercise (playing basketball or tennis perhaps), then you would also expect the brain to grow connections associated with these activities.
So yes, the brain grows. Does it make a person smarter? Not necessarily, it makes a person more able to move that muscle with finer control.
The summary said that resistance training had "no effect", so it's not entirely a case of exercising your nerves. More plausible is that aerobic exercise increases the amount of oxygen or at least the blood flow to the head, providing the cells there with more material or fuel for growing.
When dedicated nuts are up to something, take them at their word.
Big difference between a nutcase that's ruling over a functional government and a nutcase who's still trying to establish one. Kim has a lot to lose if he decides to wage a hot war against the most powerful military in the world. Bin Laden had nothing to lose except his life, which he probably thought of as merely a barrier to the blissful afterlife. Maybe we should be thankful that Kim still loves basketball and Disneyland and the sensual pleasures of the here and now.
Rather than carry why not buy on the spot in the country you're travelling to? Every airport should have a duty-free shop of some sort. What you'll probably find are power strips with surge protection rather than something specifically marketed as a surge protector. Look for one with a fuse or a mini circuit breaker. If you're worried about the quality, then you can try daisy-chaining two of them.
I guess academia is nerdy but who cares? Europe is crumbling, this is no surprise.
If Europe is really crumbling, should we rejoice? By we, I mean everybody who believes in an ideology of human progress, whether socialist, Communist or liberal democrat. Hasn't the world become so entangled that the collapse of one major civilization will have serious repercussions somewhere else, even if it's separated by mountain ranges or whole oceans? There isn't going to be any refuge from a new Dark Age, the way China or the Arabs of the time continued to bear the torch of civilization after the fall of Rome. This time, nobody would be left to reignite a new Renaissance.
If someone can come up with a cryptocurrency which is independent of central control, yet its supply increases at roughly the same rate the economy expands, that is the boat you want to get on. It just won't be as lucrative for early adopters as bitcoin because it won't be a ponzi scheme.
There's actually one rather popular cryptocurrency with built-in inflation. But I'm not sure how seriously you'll consider a business that deals in "doggie" money.
