1) you have just defined erotic image, where potentially not even a bare breast or bare genital are shown, as porn.
2) you shifted the definition so that now we have to determine the "intention" of the author.
Conclusionyour definition is about as arbitrary as it was before, and works would change category depending on who watch from Fred Phelps to larry Flint.
they lowered the grinding, they opened MMO to a much wider non-fanatical-hardcore audience. The only people I ever hear saying they dumbed it down, are the one which think grinding 10231312 mobs for an uber armour or grinding 21312 hours for a level is "skill". Face it, in NO MMO whatsoever there is any skill. You need skill for chess, you need skill for throwing a disk far away, you don't need skill for an MMO, you only need to read what previous tactic-of-the-month was developped by one person and use it for your own grinding, or you need to read what wiki or previous person found as tactic for a mob. There isn't much to think about. I have done all role in many MMO (except UO, all major MMO since EQ) and they are not a game of skill, they are games of patience with trickle reward.
He has the same type of argument than those which deplore the loss of a certain type of skill among the populace (like hand writing, buggy driving, water bearing, and I pass many other). The bulk of the population don't need to have deep introspection. The bulk of the population is acquiring the SKILL they need to live and work. If it is tilling , so be it. If it is skimming article on the ent, so be it. Now if lamarckian evolution was a reality I would be worried, but it is not. Therefore it isn't as if an individual could not learn to dvelve and not skim, even if the rest of us does. What he sees as a loss, is indeed a gain for the average population.
Those game used a trick to make your brain think stuff looked in 3D when in reality they are all flat. Now they want to gear up to be able to send *stereoscopic* signal to a TV, which is another trick to make your brain seeing a 3D image by sending two different image to the right and left eye. This is theoretically better than the trick 3D we have on 2D TV since actually the eyes are really seeing different perspective. In other word Sony climb up on the 3D TV bandwagon.
And i would like to know how many criminal random sampling (what existed before) did catch. Because if you catch 0.7% criminal with SPOT, you HAVE to compare agaisnt random sampling. If random sampling catch 1.2% (made up number) then SPOT is *WORST* than random sampling. Giving a number in absolute without comparison is useless, and probably misleading.
If I recall correctly there is a provision in the WTO (or some subsequent treaty) that in case of medical emergency the IP law can be circumvented. Many country have declared such an emergency for AIDS, and therefor are fully legally allowed to produce cheap anti viral despite not having the patent. The *flouting* is on the side of the patent holder which protest against such treaty because it destroy their bottom line.Another such a country IIRC are in south east asia. Can't rememebr which.
Where you could vote for either D or R but they both turn out to be ET bent on enslaving earth ? I always took that episode to be chillingly too near the reality.It may be more subtle than it was in europe middle age, and more class chane may be allowed than it was, and we are afforded a bit more freedom, but we really have a population of a few % "master" and a 95+% of serf.
"Econophysics is an interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by physicists in order to solve problems in economics, usually those including uncertainty or stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics."
Guys , news for you : it does not matter that you are using physical models. You are NOT physicist. YOu are mathematician. If the model came from biology instead you would not be an econobiologist. The equation and model you are using MAY come from physic, but if you are applying them onto OTHER domain, then you are jsut do a model from that other domain using math. You may introduce quantic level and incertainty into economy but it ain't quantum physic. You may add distribution and black body like model but it does not make it econothermodynamic. Jeez. There is already a name for this : mathematic applied to economic. Or economath:).
Because now the doctor just rubber stamp please everywhere and the workload STAY THE SAME. And ther lab folk are STILL treated like cattle. Now matter you see it , or the justification you might come up, it is a stupid solution, as it does not help workload : it adds workload on doctor (forget a please, and you have to make it yourself, possibly endengering the patient).
Global warming affect them, and they know that if true, it could point back at their own excess, or force them to change their lifestyle. A big problem. Whereas beltegeuse exploding, it won't affect anybody, so they don't mind spreading the rumor as a joke. The one REALLY stupid which REALLY think that would affect them, would not be able to come with the idea anyway.
If you think Christianity as a whole has learned its lesson (or at least the FUNDAMENTALIST part of it), you are deluded. Have a look at Texas, at Dover, over creationism, or the various other attempt to equate the US with a "Christian" nation. It may be that the huge majority of Christian are not such extremist, but SO IS the huge majority of Moslem ! And in both case (facebook banning or Dover) it is the extremist which scream the loudest we are hearing.
Firstly this is not the same domain of competence and risk, to drill an oil well thousand of feet deep, and to maintain a nuclear plant. Secondly nobody is trusting BP with a nuclear plant, but trusting other company. Finally there are many nuclear plant world wide maintained in a satisfactory state, and only a few major incident, none in the last 20 years with the latest design. There isn't many bulk way to generate energy for a baseline and/or peak electricity generation, fission, coal, gas, oil. Note on how 3 of those release carbon in the atmosphere which was trapped for a long time. Without going into global warming debate, nuclear plant are today the only baseline/peak generation which avoid that. Other generation method do exists, but the possibility are either exhausted (hydroelectric) are not compatible with baseline generation (wind, solar for example).
So carbon or nuclear, by govt or by private, TAKE YOUR POISON. The only real alternative is to go back to a pre-modern society.
Gods or Jesus or whatever *NEVER* ever seem to heal amputee. It is always things which can't be really checked or can regress on their own. But amputee are always left amputee. Are you pretending amputee can never find gods's pity or forgiveness ? Are you pretending they pray less loudler than others ? Are you pretending gods are not omnipotent and can't regenerate overnight or over time an organ ? Or is not the simplier explanation that gods never ever healed anybody , it is alone the human body all along, and youa re jsut painting your belief onto a natural phenomenon ?
As for STROBEL he has been deconstructed and debunked so often it is a real shame you cite him. I won't bother to bring all the argument here to place buzt if you wish to debate it register on forums.randi.org and go there Evidence we knew the writer of the new testament knew the truth there is another one with evidence for god existence. Search for strobel there and you will see why that book isn't really a good argument.
If the so called omnipotent gods would have wanted to leave us a fair way to rationally choose a way or another, there would be evidence for a way or the other. There is no evidence, ergo wherether such entity as gods exists or not, it was not in their mind to leave us fair way to rationally look at that, or the fact that there is NO evidence of afterlife, is the evidence they left us all along (yeah I know no evidence don't mean evidence of non existence, but I am sick and tired to hear from religious that I don't have evidence of non-existence when all along their make their little fantasy up and never provide evidence of their claim, and use that to influence POLICY affecting everbody).
How often did I have to hear that the worst atrocity were done by "atheist". The same argument applies to all atrocities. People want power or justification for their action, and will use any shit to get it. Skin color, religion, whatever.
Otherwise they would promote real solution to many social problem , like using condom, or *not* hunting people and burning them down because they are supposedly witch. Or they would promote real solution to priest abuse and not the "we have to pardon" or the "we have to bury this".
Oh , and here around homeless shelter are financed by volunter , independetely of religion. So , YMMV.
"your key is then bound to this account" because this put an extra burden to the second sale market. IMHO company like blizzard saw that DRM is useless for piracy, but that they could easily pretend to be only checking the validity of your copy without being intruding, when the goal all along is to kill the second hand market and bypass the first sale doctrine.
Or "conscious" dream whatever it is called. I play a lot of game, and it happened to me once every other month (sop not very often) I get this dream where the situation isn't right, and I am suddenly all like "shit I am dreaming". Very often it is limited to "follow the path" and nothing else. But two time I could *change* the dream the way I wanted it to. One time it was a minor change (nightmare in darkness changed to nondescript dream where nothing happens), the other it was pretty major (complete change of situation, and type of dream). I had often wondered what's the heck was with that , before somebody linked to wiki in the thread today.
By using your definition anyone could use *some* defect in anybody to destitute them from being "great men". I don't care shit that people were not great husband or father (and many will probably do too), as somebody said there is aplenty of them, so why should your definition have ANY bearing ? Heck some people might object declaring somebody a great man or woman because of their religious belief. Try picture "charles Darwin" a great man for some cultural group... [b]Somebody (man or woman) which research/scientific discovery/writing/philosophy/politics/whatever enhanced humanity's culture in a good way, is a great man, independently of his familial success[/b]. "we actually want to ignore "humanity" faults in a person because of his literary work" Indeed we do, and we routinely do so. Because what define a great man, is not being a good neighbour or a good dad. It is doing something great for humanity at large.

It is called a revolution. Usually the switch is relatively bloody as the one in power don't like to be switched.
Those triompet in their form at footbal match are only commercialized recently. The traditional one don't even have that form or noise.

It certainly help everybody get better liar.

Darwin was a christian, put instead anybody else atheist , or non christian. You get my drift on the definition of "great men".
