The concept of women and children as primary victims recognizes wars leave vast trails of millions of widows with kids, and orphans, across a continent.
It is a good observation, but it does seem to imply a dead person is not a victim, or that men hoo rah off to war en mass voluntarily. By the way, which they often do, especially with an attacking country like Germany.
I assume you are a Hillary supporter, or at least a Democrat.
What about her, aside from the "it's time" novelty of her gender, do you feel is so great about her? Clinton presidency terms 3 and 4? Is hanging off her popular husband's coat tails a worthy example of a woman grasping for power, especially when devoid of any real political personality (viz Sanders, Trump, Christie, wanna have a boring personality faceoff vs. Cruz maybe?)
She's even boring under the usual politician model of being skilled at getting supporters to project they'll fulfill your political fantasies. Except for one thing.
New York has always been where the Democrat national party sent their next big thing to issue them a senatorship on the road to the White House, e.g. Kennedy the Bostonian.
And how seriously the goverment seems concerned about the newspaper article can itself offer confirmation of details in the article, even if it never admits things directly.
To be honest, a file extension as synonym for type of file was an asinine hack from day 1.
Files need a type (assuming out of bandwidth necessity, a stretch itself given many modern types encode what they are in the beginning of the data itself e.g. jpg) but that should be in another data field of the OS rather than repurposing part of the name.
They view it as a large "click" in the ever-leftward ratchet.
"Reducing costs" involves treating the current medical treatments as a static tree to be plucked, hunter-gatherer style, rather than being a transient state in ever-increasing number of treatments and cures which, by definition, costs more.
Unlike a car or TV, medicine is a suite of different things, and you want corporations adding options hand-over-fist. There is simply more to buy year after year, and it naturally costs more.
How much more are new treatments desired than an iPhone? This driv3s investment. You will no more have new medicine at current rates (which is what saves lives) than you would have an iPhone under a single payer phone system.
A single-payer medical system is about as sensible as a single-payer consumer electronics system. Anyone wanna bet the rate of invention will keep up?
Not me, man. I want new stuff, electronics and medicine.
Whatever happened to eating a balanced diet and getting exercise?
It is a completely disastrous, full of fail theory for long-term weight loss, like all other fad diets. It doesn't work.
People cannot adhere to it. They operate on eating what their body tells them to, which is everything they can, which evolved in an animal world of hunter-gathering and want, and where there was lots of physical activity.
We need calorie-low (very very low) we can add salt and spices and Doritos spray to and guzzle hand over fist and lose weight
In the past, when parts of the accelerators have been upgraded or added to, engineers would often additionally replace the cables that connected them. In the process, they would leave in place the old cables that were no longer in use.
This is clumsy sounding. Rewrite to something like:
When upgrading, they would leave in place the old cables that were no longer in use.
One should look at the results. Oh, cheap products cramming shelves in the US.
Oh look, youngsters lining up to put on Coke T shirts and get real jobs and smart phones.
The bizarro world antics of some posters reminds me of the SNL Deiter skit with Mike Meyers and Woody Harrelson, who played a formerly affected art snob like Deiter, but from East Germany, now running around after the Berlin Wall fell with a beer chugging hat on and beer tubes in his mouth. WHOOOHOOO!!! WHOOOHOOO!
Taxi companies own and trade the medallions. They then rent out their en-medallioned cabs by the day to poor people who have to drive almost solid to break even before they can keep dime 1.
Of course, the meme that justified violating the principle of free entry into a profession was too many taxies would clog the streets.
Go ahead. Buy into it. Even modern Uber detractors whine about insurance and licensing and not about too many taxis.
I think once AI is solved, the processing power required will fit easily on 2000-era computers.
It's still seen as requiring something on the order of the massive parallelism of the human brain. NNs sufficient probably need just a tiny fraction of the human brain.
"On Saturday mornings," Gates explained, "I wanted to sleep late. So you know what I did? I made sure there were science projects available, and that's what he did with our two daughters and our son. And guess what my two daughters are interested in? Science and math."
"On Saturday mornings," Gates explained while looking down her nose at the little people, "I wanted to sleep late. So you know what I did? I spent your money on educational toys, after Bill and his company were convicted of abusing Microsoft's monopoly position to grow both the company and our personal fortune. And just guess how much better my kids did than yours! Now imagine how secure their futures will be, no matter how useless they are, since Bill succeeded in dodging taxes by creating a for-profit foundation!"
"I taught them about manipulating 12 figure holdings and how to make legal donations to politicians, which we were failing to do, which is why they sicced their machinery on us. I showed them how Google donated to US federal and state politicians, and politicians of European countries, but neglected to donate to EU officials in Brussels, and look what happened."
Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG has the fatso body type so players can make bodies that look like themselves, as sexy, slim bodies and outfits, so people can escape their clodding lives in fantasy, are, if not forbidden yet, at leas deprecated, to use a term many with the chubbo 3rd body type in the game would know.
Plus, it could allow the NSA to avoid being held accountable for its illegal mass surveillance.
How would that work? If might relieve them for responsibility for continuing to keep it (assuming they never use it again) but it won't waive potential illegal gathering and keeping in the past (subject to statute of limitations, if present).
The software people who make those cutting edge packages still seem to have no clue about physics. You can't get away with animation-style non-physics in a photorealistic world with real physics. Arms don't swing right, cognizant, so to speak, of motor acceleration vs. their mass, with gravity tugging on everything.
And body flesh/fat rippling, again, they need better programmers instead of animators. If you look at it, and it looks fake, create a better virtal model with mass and stretch parameters to mathematically undergird the surface mesh distortions. Which themselves should have a skinlike physics.

I need a course just to install Eclipse and get it running with gcc.
Maybe two.
If their universities are anything like US ones, almost all the double-digit growth and cost was in non-teaching positions, and I don't mean janitors.

Omfg "TRON" is a real programming word!!!
That was all there was. Try the Atarii basic cartridge to see how desperate some were to get access to programming.
Home computers were about the price of a station wagon back then.

Some of you are just so upset over this.

Adapt to changing demographics, got it.

It will be much easier if they offer a discount to drivers who install software on their cell phone than if they try to mandate it.

This is where a court needs to use the First Amendment to break necks of the government.
Government deciding I may not tell friends about something? Ummmm, no.

In Empire, they switch from stop motion to a filmed real trip/fall for a walker, and that is cringe worthy and out of place.
I suppose it was more about getting realistic snow thrown up on impact than saving a few frames.
Actually I think that is a bad example. The music goes well with it. Vangelis FTW!
The realistic and scary tornado in Wizard of Oz was basically a rolled up carpet twisted around.
