It seems that the most effective ways to limit humanity's growth are war, disease, starvation, and draconian control. Often all four things at the same time. I can't think of a method that doesn't fall under these categories.
Education? Maybe. At what point does education become propaganda? At what point does propaganda become brain-washing? At what point does brain-washing become draconian control?
The point I made (I'm not even "excusing" her) is that the law she's accused of breaking is an executive decree that was made TWO YEARS AFTER SHE LEFT OFFICE.
Shh. Don't disturb the narrative. This has to last until Nov '16, remember.
That's a good bit of info. I will reconsider joining. But like the AC says, the damage was done.
I need to update my interface with the internet, though. My public and private email accounts and aliases were good enough ten years ago. Not so now. I've been avoiding joining things like fb/yt/g+/LI/etc. I need a reasonable plan on how to approach dealing with the services that I want without releasing too much info.
I imagine I could roll my own servers. Play games with NAT and MAC's and routers. I suppose I've gotten lazy with vendor supplied routers, providing wired and wireless everywhere in the house.
Hmm. About a year ago Yahoo tried to do some kind of "let's consolidate all your stuff" play. I got annoyed and stuck with the old version. Finally, the day came when they forced the issue. I took the my.yahoo portal off of my start page and never looked back. For my news portal I just go to google news now. Somewhat ironic given the topic.
I remember trying to use PZM's when they first become popular for theater. Turned out not so good, as it amplified every footstep and thump on the stage. Since there's usually half a dozen thumps sitting around your typical conference table, PZM's might be contra-indicated.
Yep, you got it. The acoustic space is key. If it can be controlled.
As a side note. I believe many artifacts can be controlled for or eliminated in the electronics. Price range may be out of his league. Prices to correct a room can also quickly get out of hand.
As somebody else says, though, do experiments (test, test, test). A one foot movement of the mic in any particular direction can make audible improvements.
"Now, I hope you, sick little fucker, loses your job, gets kicked out of schools *and* have your name attached to all the crude shit you've ever said. I want you to think about all the stupid shit you said when you were a kid, back before the Internet existed, *every* time you say stupid shit like this."
xkcd has a good strip where zombie Feynman extolls the virtues of Mythbusters, stating that experimentation is at the core of science. And I notice in astronomy various projects are still confirming various parts of Relativity, even ones that have been proven before in different circumstances.
Shh. Don't say "rewrite". Managers heard that was a dirty word. That's why we give them a vague, important sounding "methodology" called "refactoring".

It would be smarter to control the population growth and the amount of energy required. ...
Do you really expect people do the smartest thing? ...
I'll mangle Churchill here: Humanity will always do the right thing...after all other options are tried.

I wish writers wouldn't say "evolved" when they mean "formed" or perhaps "developed".
It's their methodology.
Yes. The Dems yelled loudly about that kind of thing setting a bad precedent. I guess this is one time when the Dems were right...

So, a maillist. Got it.
But on the whole I have seen the market for beginners and experiment kits in pretty much every domain explode...
Which, of course, is why they did away with the chemistry sets.

So, speak softly and carry a big stick?

So "alpha male" rates a "Civility really is just a facade". What rating do you give the trolls in this instance?
(AC, you're doing it wrong)
Hah! Good one.
Well, it's a first step. Industry can take it from there if they want, and adapt the experiment to their particular situations.

^^^ mod up. This is a good summary of what actually happened.
^^^ Ok, here's the definition people. Mod this up so the arguments can stop over what it is.

Refactoring is more than changing names.
Bingo!
And they say that robots don't take after their creators....
...as long as they don't take off *after* their creators...
