McCoy was still kicking at the start of Next Gen, with no technobabble to get him their beyond their implied superior medical tech. Checkov was much younger (stupid bastardization of the new movies aside) and could be an oldish but not decrepit man.
Or he passed out in a ship travelling 99.99999% the speed of light in normal space for a few minutes, fill in the exact details.
Or pattern buffer. Or time travel. Or he fell into the sarlac pit whose digestion process actually kept him alive for 1000 years somehow but he got rescued early.
While we sit and some wonder on the provenance of the story, keep in mind the US and UK already know if it's true or not and are shitting bricks even more or not.
College costs are due to the easy borrowing as a perverse consequence of trying to make college easier for people to afford. As with a car loan, nobody wants to pay $2000 for a fancy radio, but an extra $35/month, sign me up!
8% a year? No problem...on my loan! Sign me up!
The way to reign this in is to deny government backing for cheap loans to any college that increases costs more than 2% this year. And keep that up for 10 years to drag relative costs back down vs. inflation.
All these loudmouths in charge of colleges who throw up their hands and say hey don't know why, the liars will sort things out quickly.
Or, maybe they are properly trained, and it's more like coal miners who slide their masks aside when nobody's looking because it's more irritating than it's worth...so they think.
I wanna see death rates mapped vs. # of towers put up per year to see if the trend is going down per tower, which it should be.
> Yeah, naturally people prefer to spout whatever racist misanthropic bullshit suits their fancy without being called out for it.
This is true. However, social stigmatizing is a long-evolved meme control mechanism to bring people into line...with the dominant way of thinking. It skips actual debate...or just letting stupid statements stand on their own, both of which are actual, real, content-based responses.
The US Supreme Court, in upholding a Freedom of Information request to get the list of names of people who signed a petition to get something on a ballot, noted as troubling that the people who wanted the names had admitted they wanted the list so as to publicly shame and harass the signers. That was a suggestion to Congress that they might wanna do something about it.
> There is an even simpler solution: a moderation system. It seems to work pretty well for Slashdot.
But does it work well at Slashdot? Oh sure, it gets rid of real flamebait or other stupidities just fine, but try disagreeing with the received wisdom of the masses, the dominant memes, and see what happens. That's not really what the mod system is for.
This will be one of the first apps on Google Glass. It will be halting and clumsy at first, but it will get better and your view will just auto-pull up names of anybody you look at if you desire.

Memes as offboard quasi-DNA guiding behavior, guiding social pecking orders and reproduction (of DNA and memes). "Fucking fatass" is more about raising the speaker in his mind's eye as to social status vis-a-vis the ladies, by putting down as defective behaviours you in the future are no longer are concerned with. Similar to "fucking heathen" might be to us.
Most people don't realize their brain is little more than the meme equivalent of the cellular chemicals doing DNA's bidding. How lucky you are, not having to deal with this, and only your ant overlords.
There's an entire industry now in auto-rippiing help-based discussion forums (particular cars, appliances, anything) and re-wrapping the threads as-is with your own layout wrapper and then using Google promotion tricks to get your page ahead of the real forum. The fake forums have no log in or response capability, but as most older product issues are archive stage anyway, i.e. thread with full solution, no more than a reference page is all that's needed.
There are many solutions which do not involve economic destruction, which a quick glance around the world and through history show will be far worse for human life than global warming adaptation would be.
We would decidedly not be better off had people in 1900 slammed the brakes on economic dynamism, leaving us in 2013 with less gw and a 1956 level of technology. History shows the more government burden and intervention, the more Soviet Unionlike you get. Goodbye to not just iPads but integrated circuits, and certainly to any consumer electronics even if not.
Advancememt swamps everything else in increasing quality and length of life. Put together. It doesn't care if the burden is kickbacks or warlords or bribes or legal donations or taxation, any more than evolution cares about why another organism is sucking its blood (and telling it where to step as it walks).

I can think of another way it will curl into a 65-inch ball.
Yawn. Wake me when a giant asteroid is about to hit us.
Ya know what? Not even then.

Perverse incentives are perverse.
> smartphone users can clip to their clothes.
Seems inconvenient. Can they build it so I can clip it to my smartphone?
Oh, biblical jokes about Pharoah using Israelite slaves to build the modern Internet gets its own thread, but biblical jokes about Pharaoh and modern chemical weapons to free Israelite slaves gets downmodded to oblivion.
You all are disgusting anti-memeites!

Cool. It's easy to use. If you look down in the lower lef rrrrrrrrrrrrt crsh boom bang ding ow.

Oh come on! How is pointing out accurate, truthful history of chemical weapon use in the Middle East, as believed by all regional parties "flamebait"?
Good god, stop recycling because currently we suck at it. Just bury the stuff in a hole and let robots unpack it and sort it in 100 or 200 years.
You fools are like people in 1800 worrying about what to do with all the horse shit.
Seriously. No, seriously.
No, seriouysly. I even spelled it wrong for you.
Still there fuming? Good. Read this: No, seriously.
How much you wanna bet it's more about having "cheaters" cutting into the supply of hot ladies he's exercised so hard to get?
Now, to just stay alive 5-10 more years and we're set.
Which we've been saying since the 1950s at least.

Yahweh used chemical weapons against the Egyptians, targeted ones to kill every first born male, or o turn the freshwater river into unusable blood.
