There are some people good at that, other bad at faking a "personality". I am rather good at that:). And I know a sme people which are too. What do yo think roleplaying and adaptation is for ? Trusting that posing multiple questions with different meaning and hoping to catch contradiction only mean one : you trully think people are less attentionned and intelligent at catching contradiction themselves than you are. I leave the reader to take its own conclusion on that. You are trully exagerating the advantge of the method. In the very end this is only a game : you think a psychological method works, but you will only weed out people unable to game the system, once the method is known.
I want to be them obsfucate. And stay that way. I want them to stay as worthless as they are right now (contract law around here is saw that in the way an EULA is handled (aka putting restriction on use after sale) it is illegal).
Combine it with Microphone or a light sensitive system (does exist a camera+transmission system that small) and you have the ultimate spying tool, beside social engineering. Imagine the application. now you CAN be the proverbial fly on the wall watching over the should of people.
IQ score cannot be generalized from a population to the enxt. IQ are standard score on standard test WITHIN that same population. And from the definition of IQ you will then get for the total population an average of 100. So Finn can't have an average of 98.5. They will get an average of 100. And before you start about generalized test, well those test are not standard among population of different culture. In other word any attempt to compare IQ between population is doomed to fail JUST BECAUSE OF THE CULTURE DIFFERENCE !
Ever saw a burned down building with the steel structure contorted in every direction ? Well i have a news for you, LONG before melting point , metal soften up and stop supporting as much strength. Why is this so hard to understand ? Ever thougth why blacksmith heat up metal before hammering it ? I've got a news for you it is to soften up and form it.
Quote "the resulting fields are too variable for people to get used to.'" only if the field can be perceived by the body, or has any influence. As far as I know that still ened to be proved.
This remind me of those nice tomatoe which stay red a lot longer. And taste like water. Methink people concentrate too much on "not dying", and not enough on "living".
Less harsh is a kind of misnomer. You would probably have the same kind of problem between a wall separating 1 atm air and 1/100 atm CO2, as with a wall separating 1 atm air and 0, nada...

Here is it :
Combine together two of those :
* iris recon
* 3d face recon
* fingerprint
with one of those:
* a pin code
and one of those:
* a secure card with a chip and a recent encryption technology
As it is always said here on/., something you are, something you have, something you know.
If this is true this was VERY VERY POOR spying :
Quote "
The company was a US company in name only. The entire company was infested at the upper levels by former intelligence personnel from one of the above countries already mentioned. Most of their company also, was in this foreign country too. Only a small amount of sales ppl actually were in the US for the company."
So I guess this is not what was happenning, or else they are VERY STUPID spies.
I am not a spy but what I would do is the following : create 2 US based company for spying. One I would fill up of former intelligence operative as to make it "within sight". This would be my decoy. The other one would be a normal foreign based company, or even with only 1 or two "in the know" only. Result : your chef see the decoy but ignore the non decoy.
I am STILL replaying ultima IV-V.
I still replayed recently Bard tale 3.
I am still replaying from time to time Planescape Torment.
And that is a short list of oldies that I play more than any recent game EXCEPT NWN....
1) IT should only be an "add-on" for you. Your main skill should be somethign else : Airport system, Warehouse handling, Managing team, physics, math, stats, finance whatever. A "core process" at the firm you are.
2) Only *pure* it is / can be really outsourced without risk. if you outsource your core process you can as well give the key & deeds to the outsourcing firm.
3) profit.
The entropy of a closed systemcan ONLY rise. You can't have any state of a system which lead to a decrease of entropy for that system, as long as it is closed. Now what can happen, and happens in our universe, is that WITHIN that closed system you can show that some region, if observed without considering the rest of the system, have a local decrease of entropy. But 1) they are not closed system per see and 2) from the increase of the fact that in the whole system entropy stay equal or rise, then for the outside region of the one you look at, entropy will rise even more.
So no. However, that's rather the point; the number of states that lead to a decrease of entropy is so infinitesimally small compared to the number of "normal" states that the chances are essentially zero. this is false for any closed system. You can ONLY have an entropy difference rising or stable.
Or is it bubble bubble ? A fun game where you shoot colored bubble either in coop or against each others. I can tell my sister started gaming after her husband showed her the game.
Quote : "that creates a worrisome scenario for America and Europe.".
No. Worrisome is when you have an unexpected tissue growth under your skin. Worrisome is when your state/country begins to write law about censorship and reducing free speech like they print bank notes. Worrisome is when your neighbour country (or nearly) starts showing the finger to everybody and go on a cruisade to develop nuclear weapon. That is the definition of worrisome. The PS3 delaying for USA and EU by a few months is at best annoying or even disappointing, but if it make you build up worry you really need a better life.
In other word this will be roughly in concept Sim Earth 2, where you would start really low (well maybe not spore but nearly) go up to develop new species, up to one getting sentient and at the very end the city go into space. Also you could turn the sun up, make some experiement in climat etc... Certainly not inovative, but if really well done (GOOD GAMEPLAY without too much accent on big flashy grafrics) then I see it as a hit.
1) this would not be Itune specific but for EVERYBODY. The headline is inflamatorry.
2) if I remmember corerctly we have under fair use in France a right to format shift for backup purpose. I Could be wrong. But if I am not, then the automatic right for conversion is in the law. And putting DRM obstacle in the way would be, in regard to blank cd tax and other law recently made, then be either illegal or quite turning around the law the late being also frowned upon.
TO GP : Because C14 dating goes only so far as a few 10 of thousands of year this is not even in question. Google for yourself, or go to wiki, I am tired to provide the link each time an evolution/carbon dating/fossile question pop up. For period of time this big other radio element with longer half-life or other method are used. This bring me to this rant : in these day of age with a wiki and google why is it so difficult to check fact for yourself ?
That you are telling us we should give in to a guy which made his life working on writing novel and ignore those which made their live studying climate.
For pity sake here is his OWN bio showing he has no idea about climatology : CRICHTON, (John) Michael. American. Born in Chicago, Illinois, October 23, 1942. Educated at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, A.B. (summa cum laude) 1964 (Phi Beta Kappa). Henry Russell Shaw Travelling Fellow, 1964-65. Visiting Lecturer in Anthropology at Cambridge University, England, 1965. Graduated Harvard Medical School, M.D. 1969; post-doctoral fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences, La Jolla, California 1969-1970. Visiting Writer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988. . Emphasis mine. I somewhat agree that consensus is bad, but sometiems there can ONLY be consensus when everything point to it !!! Evere heard on the consesnsus that if you release a weight within a gravitational field without initial speed it will craqsh to the ground ? Well there is a consensus ont he cliamt, get over with it, and stop reading your favorite POLITICAL propagenda.
Because the profit go to a centralised small group of the population (the top tier) which is smaller and smaller, and thus this does not help America a bit, whereas the middle income group shrink and the lowest income group grows. In an extreme situation you have a few holding all the money or "corporate-king" with no middle income at all, and an huge poor population scrapping around for some job. Oh, and before you protest and say this would not happen : the most rich do not need a "country" to be a winner (they do not need America) they can take their peanuts away and invest globally on the world level and still be winner. Only the local "basic worker" population needs local a good local economy. So it is perfectly thinkable to stop any financing in US, when the marketed service/product are overtaken by other country which produce cheaper. The US needs the world, the world need the US economy less and less. In this course to the bottom there is only a winner : the new baron building their fief out of a mountain a money and not caring a bit of the locals no matter the country.
They could compete with Itune by offering lower cost un-drmed song, and they would then usable on Ipod. Remmember user can convert the song to the format, and asd interroperatibility could napser do the same. they bitch simply because they want to sell the cake and eat it : use their own DRM and ride on the fact the Ipod is sold a lot.
Also remmmeber Ipod is NOT a monopoly like MS is. Ipod came later to a market with a lot of player. Heck there is still a lot of concurrence. That the other suck does not matter, as long as 1) Apple is offereing licence for their DRM (they are as far as I know) 2) do not stop other to sell compatible un-DRMed song (as per above this is the case) making their own hardware open for others. 3) do not leverage their monopoly in hardware by forcing other song manifacturer onto their own hardware (this is the case, the RIAA&Co is not forced by Apple to use IPOD).
No really the fact is that napser and other with a buisness model involving restricting a lot their consumer fail and now they bitch because other with a less restrictive business model are successful. In other word because consumer refused their product. This is free market at its best and not a monopoly.
