And yet a fetus is a baby, just still in the womb.
Where for nine months a woman can legally poison that "baby" through smoking, excessive drinking and drug use, not to mention cause it to have deformities by the woman being obese.
Where are the laws fining women for poisoning their "baby" while in the womb? Why isn't the religious right up in arms women can poison their "baby" without repercussions? Where are the laws forcing women to undergo twice monthly exams to verify they aren't poisoning their "baby"?
They're nowhere because people like you are hypocrites. You want to tell a woman what she can do with her body, claiming it's for the "child's" protection, yet don't bat an eye while she poisons her "baby" because that would be too intrusive.
If the idea is that a fetus is a living person then there is no excuse for not making it illegal to poison that "baby" while in the womb. Either put up or shut up.
Yes because none of them would suffer their whole lives from fetal alcohol syndrome or anything.
Then perhaps all those Republicans who are hellbent on outlawing abortion because it "kills a person" should enact laws to penalize pregnant women who smoke, do drugs, drink excessively or are obese. After all, shouldn't poisoning their "child" for nine straight months count as child endangerment?
In fact, if they're so concerned about the "child" then they should make it a requirement for women to have twice monthly visits to verify they aren't endangering their "child" through any of the above. You know, like a former convict has to report to a probation officer.
There. Problem solved. No more fetal alcohol syndrome. Just like outlawing abortions means no more women getting abortions.
For centuries humans had a limited diet and essentially non-existent medicine and medical care.
Once the ability for a varied diet took place and advances in medicine kicked in, there was a sudden growth of humans in both size and virility. We can see these changes in the size of skeletons. Afflictions which would have in the past killed us in droves are now, for all intents and purposes, gone.*
With those limitations removed, evolution was free to do the voodoo that it do. This doesn't even take into consideration the amount of time people now have to pursue sporting events using modern training methods. Despite this, it's quite obvious we've essentially reached our peak size. There may be incremental increases over the coming centuries, but nothing near the pace which happened over the preceding centuries.
So copyright infringement is a bad thing now? Funny how when people brag about all the programs and movies they've "pirated", all of which have explicit copyright information, the opinion is, "Fuck 'em" or , "it's not enforceable" or any number of reasons why taking someone's elses ones and zeros isn't an issue. But now, because it's "free" software with copyright information, suddenly it's an issue.
If you're going to claim taking someone elses work without payment or attribution which has copyright information isn't a big deal, then neither is this.
Thank you. I'm late to this story (work and all) but came here to say essentially the same thing.
I'm trying to get back into photography and now have my Windows 7 system running nicely. However, once that is gone, what then? I am absolutely not going to that abomination Windows 10, and with Apple not selling a decent PC (not laptop) where the memory isn't soldered in and non-upgradable, or a video card which is 5-6 years old but still sold for the same exorbitant price, that leaves some version of Linux. Which has no good photo editing software (no, Gimp doesn't count).
In effect, I'm done in a few years when this system dies. All because there's shit to purchase.
We're taking immediate steps to remedy this: we're working with all AIB and channel partners to make sure the product descriptions and names clarify the CU count, so that gamers and consumers know exactly what they're buying. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused.
AMD is only apologizing because they were found out. It's the same story with any company who tries to pull a fast one on consumers and is found out. Then, and only then, are steps taken to remedy the situation. Not before while they were duping their customers. Only afterwards when they were called out for their shenanigans.
That Google, or anyone, is pedaling an item which is superfluous because another item already does the same thing, and better in this case, isn't surprising. Nor is the fact that thousands upon thousands of people will buy said product, then complain when it doesn't work even though they already had another item which does work.
Is this like Millennium Challenge where swarms of small, fast boats were able to disable/sink numerous simulated ships? Or, during that same exercise, swarms of cruise missiles overwhelmed the fleet defenses?
The people who whine about slowness and memory leaks are the same ones who would leave their car running day in and day out then complain it's using too much fuel.
As to the "new" Firefox, it looks like something from Soviet Russia. Ugly squared edges, no logic as to why useful items are hidden and have to be sought out, doodads which serve no apparent purpose other than they can be done, and of course the in-your-face, blaring advertisements when you open a new, blank tab, though they can be turned off once you figure out how to do so.
People don't want to pay for the software so they steal it. Just like the excuse people use when they say they don't want to pay for other people's movies or music..
for relying on someone else's service to regulate their home's temperature. Apparently all these upset users didn't bother to think through what might happen if the service, or Logitch, went away.
"You mean they can stop offering this service? How dare they! I have my free app."
Their job is to disable accounts when told to do so. Not whenever they feel like it. Not when they don't like what someone is saying. Not because they feel like it.
This is no different than an admin leaving or being fired and botching the system before they walk out.
Web developers are more interested in showing off the latest and greatest procedures, bouncing ads and every unnecessary script they can lay their hands on than they are producing a usable web page.
Within the last week I am suddenly unable to access the comments section on a web page I have gone to for years. Most likely because the developers changed twenty scripts and since I never run the latest and greatest browser, comments are now inaccessible.
There is absolutely no reason not to have a link work in this day and age EXCEPT if it's generated by a script. The simplest of actions on a web page and developers can't get it right. If they can't get that right, why should we expect them to get anything else right?
Move along. Ignore the man behind the curtain. Electronic voting systems are perfectly safe. There's no need to keep any paper records because the machines never make mistakes and are secure from intrusion.
There's never been a case where voting machines have been compromised. How do we know? Because we say so.

There must be some place in the Trump administration for this man!
Who do you think came up with the idea to ban the CDC from using words such as "science-based" in official papers?

How about 'home grown" internet sites that actually manufacture fake news?
That would mean the Fox tabloid and the white supremacist web site Breitbart wouldn't get listings. Won't someone think of the children!
That's what the guards at the SPCA should do the homeless. Get tased a few times and they'll never come back.
In what way does fighting in Afghanistan give us freedom?
Initially it would have been to go after Osama Bin Laden, the guy who planned the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
However, when, for two days, Bush refused every single request by troops on the ground for more troops to block Bin Laden's escape from Tora Bora because troops weren't available as he was preparing to invade Iraq, that issue went by the wayside.

Sits back and laughs at the comedy show.
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein told Bloomberg that the currency serves as "a vehicle for perpetrating fraud."
If anyone should know about perpetrating fraud, it would be Lloyd Blankfeind. And his buddy Jamie Dimon as well.
All of what you said is exactly what I said further down. I just couldn't remember the name of what they changed to their Facebook-like app.

I guess, in one respect, at least someone's talking about it.

You can't have it both ways.
Let's use the most insecure protocol ever developed to send potentially personal information into the ether for everyone to grab.

a 325 pound murderer is a bad thing to do.
You're overpaying programmers for the shitty code they produce.
Programmers producing shitty code? The answer is clearly cheaper programmers!
No, clearly the answer is to keep doing what's being done now because it's working so great.
