You should be able legally to force him into the contract ONLY if he use the data at which point you could tell him "you used data on date X/Y/Z at H:M we have evidence in our entwork". If he does not you should not be able to force him into the contract, because you feel like it, that reeks of being the same level of the mafia offering you "protection". In europe you would get slapped. Hard. I am glad I am living on the eastern side of the big pond.
felix is above a trigred cat, the female felicette black and white. Although I admit it could simply have been ignorance and taking a cat photo at random rather than archive photo.
I cannot remember the name , one was felix the other I can't recall, a female. They were two cats with implanted electrode in the brain to be sent in space. Felix escaped, the female was taken instead. Funnily on the commemorative stamps, they got the picture of the female, and put the male cat name (felix).
Even when a female get an achievement there is a male to steal it;).
The question of the op is about failing the preliminary test quote "Is there any way you can prove that your organization is not falsely debunking claims during the "Preliminary Tests," i".
This is totaly different than actively not setting a proper protocol. The reason I could answer that question btw is that on jref.org this is asked again and again and again. With a lot of woo coming by and stating the same question insinuating the same things. But if you look at the protocols (which are public btw) you will see this is never the case.
I understand slashdot is not jref, but I would rather see "new" question than question which were answered to death.
No it is not a cop out, because the protocol is negotiated and agreed upon by both party *before* the test, preliminary or not. Also the JREF make sure the protocl to be agreed upon is impartial, that is can be judged by any party to be failed or sucess without having any sort of discussion. For a dowser for example it might be "dowser go out of the room with judge, impartial person put a gold nugget under observation under a random paper cup, then go out of theroom , judge come back with dowser, dowser has as many time as needed (with say an upper limit of 30minutes) and chose a paper cup , then paper cup are revealed, then mished at different position and first step is repeated. To pass preliminary dowser must at least find 3 gold nugget out of 10 test , and at least 6 out of 10 test for the real challenge".
Usually a lot of woo protest that the prelim are not fair, but in reality the test are agreed upon to have 1 chance out of 1000 to happen by chance alone, and 1 out of 1 million for the final test. All those protest of unfairness are in reality from most woo just cop out because they can't when properly double blind tested show any special ability whatsoever.
They are asking the facebook company. If the facebook company has a commercial presence in EU , then they better obey the law and court order. Again, as all in those discussion you have to separate the web site, to the company. The court order are going to the company where it has presence. It does not matter afterward if the web page is chaos.ru or texas.us, the company has to obey the court order because of its commercial rpesenc in EU. naturally if facebook is ready to abandon completely the EU market that's another story.
There are a lot of ethical action which are unlawful and vice versa, a lot of unethical action which are perfectly lawful. I would certainly hear the lecture of somebody which know the difference between ethical and lawful and the ramification.
All you said could as well apply to MMO really. From the time sinks to constant progress. Social gaming did not invent skinner box for games, they just refined it with cost effective way.

The non compete we do make people sign are about working in the same industry, or the same type of projects. Are the non compete in the US so screwed up that you can't work anywhere no matter the industry ?
If you are searching something for which there will be a lot of advertising , like a car, furniture information you have to be pretty precise to avoid all ads. If you are searching for which there won't be much advertising, like say, "bose einstein condensate" or "walkthru of KoTOR 2" you will pretty much find what you want top link.
last sentence should read "In fact I contend that it is probably the other country of the world which should worry about what the USA is brewing in their drone labs." IOW A military of drone controlled by a few hundred maybe a few thousand guy the other world away.
It is soon the 1st January, not the 1st April. Except in comic book there is no such a thing as a mutant power. At all. Not even physically possible from the law of thermodynamic or newton's law.
What COULD happen is that somebody graft some biomechanic prothese giving an advantage like better muscle, drug implant or even eye sight enhanced and protected against flashbang, but that's nothing which could not be done by the "1st country" in term of military science. In fact I content a full mechanical device by the ease of removal replacement and mass fabrication make more sense. In fact I contend that it is probably the other country of the world which should worry about what the USA is brewing in their labs.
They can simply refuse the new term of service, and their photo will not be covered by the new TOS meaning instagram/FB won't be able to use them anyway. Naturally they lose usage of their photo but hey, so is life when you trust some random company with your stuff when you are obviously the "product" of that company. But i see no cause to sue the lawsuit will prolly be rejected at judge level.
At a shed , one being for the tractor the other for the plant. Having two chemical substance which when mixed can cause explosion and a few electronic part means *nothing* without a context. The question is : do the authority exagerate the context to make a case, or was it a real plan from a disturbed teenager, or was it a disturbed teenager which would never have gone further but now whatever MAY happen will be forever marked as that "insane guy which wanted to explode a school" ? Wihout further info none of us are able to say. But I am willing to bet there will be a media circus.
I mean, I hate sex offender (the real one, not the one caught pissing in a backstreet 380 yard from a school), but this is what ? Double punishemnt ? or even tripple punishment ? First they get the prison treatment, then they are difficult to employ or get a flat (can#t be within XXX yard of a school which cut off a lot of possible work or living place) then they get kicked out of many stuff now. If you want to punish them for life then give them life in prison. this type of triple punishment whammy is "cruel and unusual". Once out they should be OUT.
The bible "allows" murder in the name of Yhwh, it allows for slavery and forced mariage/rape, and various other disgusting stuff (old testament) even the new testmaent has a lot of disgusting stuff like slavery, or even women being inferior and not beign allowed to speak up unless their man allow it (in chruch for example, corinthian), not even counting that it is "You shall not covet your neighbor's wife" and not , say , husband or significant other.
Furthermore the moral code do not come from bible or whatever, they were there before (ex. Amurabi code) and even before as soona s we were socially grouped, they are a Necessity for a stable society or group. Heck charity is even one of those. In small group you will be far more likely to help somebody not related to you, charity is only an extension of that, and is practised by non religious.
The bottom line is that the bible bring nothing new or special to the morality of its reader And as somebody said (was it hitchens) "show me any moral act which are practised by religious people and *ENEVER* practiced by any Atheist whatsoever". You won't find ANY such act. You are as moral as you as human are, and religion don't make you more or less moral. You will simply recognize YOUR morality INTO the religion.
"In any event by suggesting that those books are *not* inspired by God (which according to current scientific knowledge may or may not exist) you are taking a position that is not supported by established facts"
Two things wrong here.
The default hypothesis, the null, is that there is no such things as unicorn, faery, gods until an evidence is provided for their existence, which is why science DOES NOT look at the existence of god AT ALL, not even throwing a may or may not. It is up to the CLAIMER to provide evidence of existence. But even if you were to add god to the equation, it is still the null that every book/document were written by men and inspired by men. It would be up to the person claiming isnpiration or divine origin to provide evidence for it as the NULL is : no inspiration all human origin. There is a good reason to use the null : shift the burden of proof on the positive claimant (inspired by gods) rather than shift the burden on an impossible to prove task (was not inspired by gods).
We did send 2 radio signal which will reach beyond the 1LY (and are by now around 30-40 LY can't remember if they were sent in the 70ies or 80ies). Each signal was a few minutes long. The reason we don't do it is not out of fear but out of uselessness. To send a signal without being rapidely attenuated and disappear udner the galactic noise for that frequency, we have to do it very directional, and very powerful. That cost money to do. And you can only reach a tiny tiny spot in the sky. And it travel at light speed. To do the whole sky would be an enourmous amount of energy to spend, and you would have to wait dozen , hundred and maybe thousand of years until it raches a destination (depending on the star/galaxy you target). And when it reaches there it will be of minuscule intensity at best. So sending is not done out of fea, but out of horrendous cost and are no better than dart in the dark.
None of our radio signal is/has been detectable beyond a few 1 to 10 AU and nothing was above noise beyond 1 light year, except for 2 intentional signal of 2 minutes long. The problem is the inverse square law , as distance increase your intensity drop by the square of the distance (imagine a point light, it generate a spherical wave, but as the distance increase the sphere surface increase on the square of the radius, since the intensity stay constant , each square unit on the surface get an intensity which dwindle by the inverse of the suqare of radius). The only exception were direction signal sent with intent.
We could ahve a high technological civilisation on that planet and each other NEVER know about each other despite doing radio transmission up the wazoo into space (which we don't anymore by the way we have much better way to transmit info). Each of our signal would be indistinguishable from galactic noise rapidely. And we would never know about each other. Heck even if they were on alpha centauri, 4 LY away we would not know until they intentionally send a *directional* signal in our direction powerful enough.
All those radiation are in the same "nature" they are electromagnetic radiation, or better called photon. They differs in *energy* and thus in effect. Simplifying, Microwave will excite barely rotational level in molecules, Infra red is akin to vibrational levels in structure/molecules, and short infrared/color/UV is electron excitation from an outter shell level to another. Xray more or less is excitation from the inner core shell level. Gamma is even more, can only be gotten IIRC thru nuclear reactions. But they are the same in nature, only the different energy level and the quantic nature of matter make the effect different.

"France planned to launch Felix the astronaut cat into space on October 18, 1963, but Felix escaped so they chose another cat, Félicette. The cat had electrodes implanted into her head to measure neural impulses. Félicette was recovered alive, but, due to an accident, the next cat in space was not. The final French animal launches were of two monkeys in March 1967."
felix is above a trigred cat, the female felicette black and white. Although I admit it could simply have been ignorance and taking a cat photo at random rather than archive photo.
I cannot remember the name , one was felix the other I can't recall, a female. They were two cats with implanted electrode in the brain to be sent in space.
