You cannot get a bank account or cash a check without an ID, you can't fly somewhere without one. Most government services like Medicaid and housing assistance requires an ID to validate your income before allowing the benefits.
You can't attend a church, you can't march in a protest, and you can't write a book without an ID.
Oh, wait, yes you can, because those are fundamental rights that cannot be abridged with added requirements. Like voting.
Any large group of people will have at least a few members that are VERY "uncivilized". And within that small portion is where the death penalty occasionally needs to be applied.
Only in our current model of a government/vengeance society. There are models where they effectively wind up in a geographic region that's exclusively for them and they probably work in a factory or doing similar labor to survive. Effective isolation like prison, except voluntary, but only because nobody else will have them.
The death penalty conundrum is hotly debated and logically inconsistent because it's an edge case failure that shows the underlying theory of our society is incorrect. It's like cycles and epicycles got alot of predictions right, but they were still fundamentally wrong.
Why on Earth couldn't they have chosen a state with a better climate?
There's two ways to look at this:
1) you can read their selection criteria and see why New Hampshire is the State with the best chance for success.
2) people who are really going to be strong activists for liberty don't care. They put on a jacket and fight the system. The fire in their belly keeps them warm, I guess. They see people who care more about climate than liberty as not really serious about liberty.
Also, I know some who fully intend to make New Hampshire the best it can be, watch the rest of the US crumble around it, and when their preferred geographic region restructures its society to be more like New Hampshire (because it survived the best out of all the former States) they'll move back. At the rate things are going, it might only take a decade.

Yeah, it was all "anonymity on the Internet forever!" until Slashdot was like, "oh, but you wouldn't have to Preview anymore," and then we all just handed over our data.
Stop this bullshit and direct your lawyers to lobby to change the laws on software patents instead. Don't you think your money would be better spent on innovation?
Apple is like a raging drunk, high on IP. When they can't sell their products anymore, then they might think about sobering up.
Lots of coders put on some of the most insane music to help them concentrate. I use music to drown out distractions. Distractions like ringing phones, people yapping about this or that, etc. (everything bad about an open floor plan). I also use music/for/ a bit of distraction - I can't concentrate as well on tasks in an anechoic chamber as I can with music playing.
For the sake of argument, let's accept the idea that gold and paper both have no inherent value. It's still a better idea to restrict your government to using something like gold for legal tender money because it's impossible for that government to devalue everybody else's holdings of that currency by simply running the printing presses. That's why it's a shame that so few media outlets explain the stealth tax aspect of quantatative easing, twist, etc. or tie it to the price of food, gas, hard goods, etc.
What people use as a currency should be entirely between them, be it gold, FRN's, silver, shells, Amex, apples, Visa, Bitcoin, in-game credits, or tulip bulbs. Forcing any of those choices on a group of people who live in a particular geographic area is against reason and humanity.
There's no empirical reason to believe that the current system hasn't ever been corrupt in this regard or ever could be. I know, I know, the government taught us otherwise in its education centers.
I know you say this in jest, and it's fine that Russians have this market, but there's also the aspect that the US wouldn't allow industry to build such a vessel, in this period of societal decline.
As it is, our Coast Guard only has 3 breakers, all diesel, and one is really supposed to be a research vessel. We have to buy help from the Russians just to run our government programs.
And forget about private industry being 'allowed' to build a twin-nuclear-powered massive ice break. It would be tied up in red tape and lawsuits until the investors left.
There was a day when the US would have been outmaneuvering all the other industrial nations in advancing new technology like this. The air supply has been choked off in America but the brain hasn't quite gone hypoxic yet.
Kudos to the folks working on this. We were all rooting for ogg/vorbis/xiph, but they had some lessons to learn. Positives that I see for Opus:
libopus is available now
it has an integer-only compile flag
it's BSD licensed
patent grants from big industry players
doxygen API docs
big open source projects already support it
orchestrated PR
still could use some love:
apparently it's CPU/power efficient but that's not bragged about (and many would suspect otherwise).
some of the documentation is just a link to slide decks from conferences
there is test code, but I didn't see sample code explicitly. Yeah, you can grab ffmpeg source or whatever, but purposeful sample code is written to be as explanatory as possible. Maybe it's in the tarball, but if it is, say so on the download page.
Still, an order of magnitude better than the last attempt at gaining industry acceptance of free codecs. This one might just work out!
To be fair, my screen is 103" diagonal -- the pixellation is visible at 6' at 1080p.
OK, I guess there's no inherent reason not to have a screen that takes up an entire wall either (an actual 16x9 screen would be 220" diagonal). I just think the trend will be towards personal displays over time due to the surge of mobile devices.
I've tried that before, when a client's hosted service (against my recommendation) would only send a TCP RST in response to anything. They replied that it was a problem on our end, despite the pcap attachment showing otherwise.

Toyota has been an innovator in how production operates, not in building game changing new vehicles.
This only makes sense in Oppositeland. Toyota has pioneered the hybrid-electric market, selling each one at a net loss.

Well, who says they can use my driver's license photo to do facial recognition on? I didn't sign up for that.

There were Southern plantation slaves who had more than your father - just not their freedom. Were they better off?

For the last 15 years, our central video matrix had 1512 inputs. That was SD, but for 1080i 4:2:2 that would be 1.25 Tbit. 2.5Tbit for 1080p.
What kind of max concurrency do you see out of those 1512?
I'm not sure what you mean by "station".

bah, spazzed on the preview button... sorry for the double reply. ....
but are you actually sitting 6' from your 103" screen? That would be fairly close to immersive, no?
