It sounds heartless right? However the person whos dying and is told "You can be the first person on mars and we will provide enough supplies and medication for the rest of your life and big chunk of money for your family and let you have the biggest blowout party in history but your not coming home". It aint such a bad deal.
Girls like Macs and Ipods and iphones. The nice thing about girls with macs is they dont bother you asking for free tech support since they rarely need it and when they do they go to the apple store. They love their macbook with the same intensity as they love their cats. If a girl lets you touch her macbook you know you are in a serious relationship. If a girl shows you her macbook she is expecting a compliment like complimenting her shoes or her dress, it is not a random piece of technology for her it is a life accessory. If you want to get assaulted by a woman, mess with her iphone... you do not touch a woman's iphone! If she shows you her first iphone, you are expected to oooh and ahhhh like she is showing you her first born.:)
The "lifestyle" accessories is a woman thing, which us male geeks can not possibly understand.
He's an aussie, aussie guys fooling around with foreign girls when away from home is not a coincidence, its a proud tradition. However its a tradition that perhaps Swedish women dont appreciate.
The simplest explanation usually the correct one....
The problem with your assumptions is that you assume the US government is WAY more capable and competent than it actually is.
What is closer to the truth Assange is a reckless narcisstic jackass who got put on watchlists for leaking US intelligence, along the way
he probably pissed off some women with his narcisstic jackass ways which caused them to accuse him of various misdeeds. Moneybookers cut him off because Moneybookers is a company based in Bahrain about to do an IPO and does not need the drama that his pitifully small accounts brings with them. Moneybookers wants to do things that are far less likely to bring them trouble like online gambling, international money transfers,etc,etc
they are talking about cats overseas which weigh 6 to 10 lbs not those supersize 20 lb cats that live in the usa. Im not talking about the superfat overfed cats in the US im talking about the generally larger breeds here in the US. The domestic cat breeds in Africa and asia tend to be quite a bit smaller and slender.
When the article says that animal is as large as a cat, they mean a smaller african domestic cat.
For the 1.7 million they will get, they can afford to buy a new piece of land and have the house moved down to it. Obviously not by thousands of personal sized balloons.
It deals with "abuse of dominance" to exclude competition in section 79. If I were creative commons lawyers filing a complaint under this law would be a start.
One of the really interesting things about the American revolution is that some of the wealthiest men in America put their fortunes on the line for their principles. Some of these wealthy men, like Haym Solomon, died peniless because they had lent so much money to the revolution and never asked for repayment.
The reasons for ending the war also include the desire for US-British trade to resume. There was lots of moneyed interests on both the british and the american side.
All the non-widescreen monitors will go by the wayside as 16x9 drops in price continually as tvs and computer monitors converge. Many people will buy a 1080p monitor to play blu-rays or Xbox on. The only difference nowadays is the tv tuner and cable tv plug.
One of the crops native to Afghanistan is safflower, safflower oil could be readily made into biodiesel. Also its a premium grade food oil so any surplus could be sold on the world market. It can also be used for dyes and paints. Of course it would be better for a native safflower processing industry to develop but that takes time. The army could build a processing plant and start buying safflower crops right away and then when they leave turn over the processing plant to a native company.
The army gets cheaper diesel to fuel trucks and tanks and the native people actually make money and develop industry. Of course that makes too much sense.
Buran is not just one ship but an entire class of ships, there was one finished (destroyed), one partially finished (in Kazakhstan) and several more in various states of unfinishedness.
Its either part of an incomplete buran-class ship or a static test model. There were several of them partially built when the program was canceled in addition to several static test models.
A parent shouldnt have to make a choice for a 5 year old between being a sociopath and a bubble boy. There is no free speech right to show virtual wangs to children. In fact the free speech right is on LEGO's side. Its their content and their right to make editorial decisions about how their game should function. That IS free speech, the right of the editor to decide what they will publish and not publish.
This is not an adult MMO it is specifically designed for kids. Mmos are part of life now, and there should be some kid friendly ones. Its no different from an editor of a childrens magazine deciding to not publish someones graphic artwork.
Blockbuster was the biggest meanest dinosaur you ever saw...then the asteroid hit. Suddenly being the biggest and meanest didnt matter anymore. All the big stores that enabled them to triumph over their rental rivals suddenly became disadvantages over their newer smaller smarter competitors.
You cant get Strong AI in software alone. We probably wont see much progress in strong AI until we get into quantum computing.
As for the mouse example, mice have hardwired instincts. Human babies would fail the mouse test. It is the ability to learn new skills and improvise in unfamiliar situations that defines intelligence.
The difference between a kid being shot accidentally during a firefight and being taken to the hospital by the people who didnt realize my child was there
VS.
The kid being shot callously shot dead with people laughing about it
Is NOT a "semantic" difference. Its the difference between a civil negligence case involving an accidental shooting vs 2nd degree reckless indifference murder.
Yes, If It was my kid the fact that they were injured but ALIVE and you made sure that my child was receiving good quality medical care would make a HECK of a difference in how I would view your actions.
Then there also people like Commodore_64_love, make up crap to embellish the story
btw: Im watching the actual unedited video.
Also the "brat" quote was FAKE go actually listen to the actual video. When the gunner found out the the actual quote "Well its their fault for bringing kids to a battle" no laughing when they said that.
Plus the kid WASNT DEAD! Another FAKE claim, the kid was wounded in the belly and the gunner said "damn" and called for
a medical evac of the child at minute 18 of the unedited video.
runaway was telling the truth and got smeared as a flamebait.
Go look at the video yourself instead of making up phony quotes. http://collateralmurder.com/ even the website doesnt claim the kid was killed

However you would still be dead and some robot with cultured brain cells from your head would be walking around.
natural hemp rope and hemp oils would have quite an appeal.

They are using DMCA because they know they cant patent spherical magnets.
I didnt even know about Zen Magnets until buckyballs filed their DMCA notice.
Maybe it should be called a Definitely Massive Competitor Ad
