Over the past several years I, and numerous others, have posted links to well-respected and reputable studies by scientiest throughout the planet --- one of the recent ones was the French study detailing the correlation between incidents of childhood autism and the number of vaccinations administered to very young children under the age of 2 years, etc. [/quote]
Yet there's not a link available in this post to any of the things you've purported to talk authoritatively about.
Moreover, you haven't give your credentials so we can understand whether or not you're another internet pundit or if you are, in fact, in a position to judge scientific data accurately.
As to whether these companies have been sued or not. Been found guilty of crimes or not. This is just FUD at work.
Microsoft and Apple have been prosecuted and lost. People still buy and use their products.
Yes, the fact that they're getting sued over DRUGS is a bit more important than "My iPod blew up when I dropped it on a bunsen burner". This is what government oversight is supposed to be for.
Also, the people screaming about "This particular ingredient is bad/evil/poisonous" seem to thing single exposure contagion is enough to kill people.
Certain things, in certain quantities over certain periods of time can be extremely unhealthy for you. Yes.
The amounts going into vaccines and their preservatives are infinitesimally lower than that, in singular doses that are then filtered out of the body rapidly without having time to build up to dangerous exposure levels.
As with most other emotion-based negative responses, all people are doing is pointing at one small portion of a thing and going "BAAAAAD! ALL BAAAAAAD!"
I'm sorry if you don't find the prospect of having to give up a portion of your adult lifetime in a penal institution educational.
I do. In the same way burning one's hand on a hot pot is educational.
The basic lesson "Don't do that! BAD!"
Note: Not everyone learns from this teaching method.
In which case, the second aspect of prison asserts itself.
Segregation. The offender is removed from society so that he/she stops hurting it.
Also, speedy trials are good in some ways, when the prosecution doesn't have the time to prepare its case fully and the defense can challenge in a straightforward fashion.
In Jeremy's case, the prosecution has mountains of evidence and the case pretty much is a slam-dunk. In this situation, it behooves the defense to NOT move to a speedy trial so that they can go over all the evidence and attempt to get crucial pieces removed or cast reasonable doubt on them.
Ex-Army. Been out nearly 20 years now (fuck, now I feel old...).
And while us blowing a bunch of shit up in the Middle East satisfied some people's need for a projection of strength, the truth is, we're doing exactly what we did in Japan. We're rebuilding them. With OUR money. Hurting OUR economy. In the end, all it's going to do is replace one militantly unfriendly government with a militantly less-than-friendly government that may just collapse when we pull out, leaving us with a revolution and a new militantly unfriendly government.
Please stop trying to paint me. Your brush is way WAY too wide.
I dislike what our government's become. But you're not going to see me blowing people's shit up. You're not going to see me vandalizing others in a childish hissy-fit.
I'm going to do the hardest thing of all. Work for real changes. Not pull stupid pranks in the hopes that I'm going to jump-start a revolution.
That kind a head-up-ass thinking went out with Manson...
..because YOU Advocate Excessive Punishment. This guy fucked up and deserves one or two years jail, not life.
Reread what I said. In no way, shape or form do I "advocate excessive punishment" (you don't really need to capitalize every word in the phrase).
I said he deserves a fair and impartial trial with no taint of impropriety.
As to "he fucked up".
The man is a SERIAL fuckup. He's already fucked up and been charged for his "fuckups" multiple times. He keeps doing it.
He didn't go into this blind. Not knowing the consequences of his actions.
He ALREADY spent TWO YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON for a similar hack (again, breaking into a site of someone with a political ideology other than his own and stealing financial info).
So arguing that somehow didn't know the consequences of his actions is flat-out bullshit.
At best, he misjudged the MAGNITUDE of his consequences.
As a serial offender, he requires something a bit more significant than a two year vacation at Club Fed.
Does he deserve life?
Probably not. But his return to society should be protracted enough to insure he understands the consequences of his actions (two years in prison weren't enough to keep him from doing it again) and never, EVER wants to do something this stupid again.
I'm not saying that some of the things revealed by the Stratfor hack shouldn't be prosecuted as well.
The problem is, Hammond's antics have now tainted the evidence.
Also, while hacks on groups you happen to dislike gives you a nice feeling of schadenfreude, think about someone coming into your home and busting up your shit because they disagree with you.
That, rather than some high-minded ideal of "justice" is behind this hack (and many of Hammond's other crimes). He dislikes what they say or represent (or what he believes they represent). So he, as final arbiter of what is right and just will do unto them before they do unto him.
I didn't say you SHOULD trust me. I never claimed to be non-partisan in this.
At one time, he happened to drift into my circle of hacking and security people. We were friendly, but we'd made it clear from the get go that he wasn't "taking over" or using the group as a bully pulpit for his particular brand of politics. We'd already had the FBI scrutinizing us for another idiot who'd been in the group several years prior. And none of us wanted that kind of heat again. When he wasn't allowed to do what he wanted, he started vandalizing our meeting place and the surrounding community.
Do the research yourself. Unless you're already bought into the whole "Free Jeremy" thing, it's pretty obvious what sort of person he really is.
And, as I said. Even disliking the man the way I do. I want him to get an open and impartial hearing.
No. Because Libertarians believe they can do what they want so long as it doesn't impact someone else or cost someone else (who isn't willing to foot the bill) money.
People who smoke pot in the privacy of their own homes? Problem.
Drunk drivers who crash and kill people? Problem.
Jeremy Hammond talks about equality. Always with the notion that special, gifted him is somehow "more equal".
This is the guy who went into a 0-Day security group and was trying to tell the regulars they should "hold the best stuff back for themselves" so they "look like gods to the up-and-coming hackers".
This is the guy who was teaching people to hack live servers at his day job, in an open IRC channel. And the servers he was using? Contained live customer data. Doing so without the consent of his employer.
This is the guy who, because he didn't believe in property, was stealing every scrap of food his roomate brought home for herself and then advising for a freegan lifestyle.
This is the guy who's breaking into servers of people who've done him no wrong. He does it, and causes damage, simply because he disagrees with them politically. Or is trying to get them to shut up.
This is a guy whose first instinct on being heckled is to attack, tossing a bottle into a crowd.
Playing "Spot the Fed" was REALLY easy that year. And Hammond himself was quite nearly lynched by some of the people at his talk.
This is a guy who thinks it's okay to simply break the stuff and vandalize the property (real or electronic) of people who don't agree with you (and anyone else in the vicinity as well).
So PLEASE don't try to paint a general political ideology as "the same" as him.
It's sad just how much now is characterized as "authority," including corporations.
Okay. You don't know Hammond.
I do. He's a blight on society.
The man has no respect for any form of authority whatsoever. His ideal form of "government" is that he's allowed to do whatever he pleases, regardless of who it hurts, and suffers no consequences. But everyone else has to play by whatever rules he decides on at the moment. And his number one crime? Daring to tell him "no".
He preaches about "social justice". Too bad he doesn't believe a word of it.
The thin veneer of charisma, that has some deluded idiots portraying him as some sort of "Robin Hood" figure, only barely covers his thug's mentality.
He hasn't done any of this for any greater purpose. He's doing it because he feels that someone has done him wrong. And he'll use any means to get back at any and everyone for his discomfiture.
That being said. If the article is right about the judge's ties to the case, she needs to recuse herself. Do it by the book so he has zero recourse in even the appearance of impropriety.
If you're making a new PDF quote, storing it in SF's service, then emailing your clients an HTML email that changes every two days, with quote PDF's attached out of SF... you'll end up hitting the ceiling quick.
In other words, using the CRM as something more than merely an elaborate rolodex (which is why people have CRM software instead of a rolodex in the first place).
Yep. That's Salesforce's model
Have an inordinately busy month? Just SLIGHTLY edge over your quota in some way, shape or form? You've just been upgraded to a different (see MORE EXPENSIVE) tier of service without being able to back down.
Unless the particle buildup actually affects the craft itself, this isn't an issue.
It's a reason for navigational protocols.
If, as the article suspects, it gets blasted out in a cone?
Simply orient your arrival point so it doesn't have your destination directly in its path. You arrive and the particles get blasted out into interstellar space.
Or, if they're wrong, and the particle accumulation is omnidirectional? Simply take the trip in two stages.
The first stage has you arriving out of range of your destination and shedding the particle buildup.
The second stage is a shorter hop from the waypoint to your destination. You may still build up a few high energy particles, but far less than, but far fewer, and something that can be ameliorated by simply "popping out" in a safe orbit in the system so you don't destroy anything nearby.
I wouldn't be too happy about Larson-Green. She's the idiot responsible for the stupid "Ribbon" interface that completely fucked up usability in Office.

Great. Now find a game that can use it.
Or a desktop OS and app loadout.
And please try to read.
I said I doubt it's going to happen right now. The performance metrics, on a per-core basis, are just too heavily in x86's favor.
That's NOT the same thing as saying it's NEVER going to happen.
Why in the name of The Flying Spaghetti Monster would enthusiasts move to ARM?
Yeah. ARM is fine for mobile devices. And might be fine for small form-factor HTPC setups.
But for the power-gamers? They wouldn't deign to wipe their asses with an ARM chip.
This is what leads me to believe the author may be smoking something.
We already see systems with discrete CPUs and systems with soldered CPUs. The current LGA format allows for either.
So why would this change to solely soldered in the next generation?
Nope.
