So correct me if I am wrong but the accent on the democrat is probably simply that htey promised "change" you can believe in, at least they did to try to get their guy elected, and in the end it is a story of "old master new master". Anyway from my external POV I say , people which were expecting change were toroughly fooling themselves.
As another poster pointed out "Germany's privacy laws generally restrict photographs of people and property without a person's consent, except in very public situations, such as a sporting event." therefore your example is TYPICAL of what is *NOT* allowed to to be saved without your consent. It is not the fact that you can be looked at (or the data packet inadvertently caught) it is the systematic saving of the same data (or phtography) which is udner fire.
It says 1 browser out of 4.72 for each criteria 8except one) have the same ID as me. Even assuming *ALL* criteria are actually really unique, with the user agent string being common to 1 out of 36 that come out at about 1 out 150.000. Naturally the other data aren't really unique it comes out at less. So..... I am not worried.
I remember writing mine, by the end I was very brain adled. But I look back at that time with fondness:). Afterward it can get even worst trying to find a post doc:p.
Backscatter x ray is *not* the same as millimeter wave. Millimeter wave is about of the order of magnitude of milli-electron volt and not an ionizing radiation energy. OTOH x ray is at least on the order of magnitude from 100 electron volt and is definitively an ionizing radiation. There is a reason they were measuring the amount of radiation absorbed in millisievert, whereas for millimeter wave scanner there is no concern (around near infrared).
Given enough iron thrown into the star center, sooner or later it can't sustain the equilibrium fusion energy agaisnt gravitational energy. Then depending on the size, it can go into various state of death, expansion, supernovae etc... So yeah, there are way to kill a star, but what for ?
I was thinking, heck maybe the ban of tylenol has a reason, maybe it is something highly adictive, or dangerous or both.
turns out tylenol is the name for a brand containing paracetamol. In other word they were strip searching somebody for a FUCKING ASPIRIN.
The zero tolerance policy made no sense to me before as an european, but now that I know it is paracetamol, I can only think it went beyond ridicule , broke the fourth barrier, to explode in the face.
Call me troll, or off topic, but I can only shake head.
As for the dirty candy things, how often did that happens ? Was it all kids ? From my time as kids we did not have candy which were so dirty as to make more than our own shirt dirty. What the heck are you selling in AMerica ? Exploding melted chocolate candy ?
While i agree on the form with you, let us not forget that a lot of people neither read english, nor even know the roman alphabet, and only read their own language. Effectively you are telling those people "sucks to be you, now get off my lawn" Those domain name in their own language are VERY attractive to the majority of those which only know their own language. I know people which only visits chinese, japanese, germanic , or french domain. For the chinese/japanese one they would probably appreciate not having even to use roman char set *AT ALL*. And if a web site is in farsi or chinese, chance is that if you do not speak the language *you are notn interrested in the content to begin with*. Filtering and censoring is only a side effect, and a minor one. Filtering could as well be adddressed by the dictatorship governement by mandating the web site to be ONLY with a.egypt (roman) domain name or whatever. ".egypt" being in (farsi) does not really make it better or worst for censoring.
Hint to mod : flamebait is what you give as a mod when the post is calling for a anger response , trying to bait people. I was just pointing out, rightfully, that this is not the end of the world as the summary was hinting. So overated, redundant, maybe. But flamebait ? You gotta stop smoking unknown substance...
The current oil spill spew out 40 thousand tons of crude. Ixotic spew 400 thousand tons The gulf war in 91 did between 750 thousand and 1.5million tons spill (but mostly over inland / burning). Amoco Cadiz was about 250 thousand tons. Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oil_spills
It is not the worst oil spill by any standard and the ocean got off with 10 time as worst. Sure it will polute , sure it sucks, sure we4 want it stopped ASAP, but it ain't the end of the world oce3an by any standard.
FCC "Let us do nothing and the market will regulate itself, and we won't be sued !" (what market ? The local monopoly ? The same telecom which tooks billion and gave nothing back ?) and really what is the frigging mandate from the FCC if it is not to regulate telecommunication "interstate communication" (wire cable etc...) ? And what's up with the fear of being sued ?
Analogy: EPA "Let us do nothing and the market will regulate itself, we won't be sued by people dumping dioxine in the river"
Oh well, it is not my country, why the fuck I should care if it goes to the drain.
According to the report, approximately 4.3 billion people live in countries without effective intellectual property
In other news approx 2 billion people sighed that they have to live with insane copyright law dictated by a cartoon mouse and a few industrial, and wish they were living in democraty, where voting would matter, and the voice of the people (demos) would be heard. Sadly they will have to put up with the facist(*) geronto-ploutocraty they live in...

What struck me was the way so many of us in the industry instinctively acted out our prejudices, made assumptions, hunted out any shred of fact that supported him (selective and misleading quotes from the CA rulebook, for instance), and even assiduously avoided rational counterarguments and conflicting evidence.

"and the continued survival of the worlds vegan population indicates that there are no major health problems with such a diet."
Are you meaning 1) the well fed vegan population out of idiology in the west, which have the advantage of science and big market to make sure their alimentation is varied and cover everything without suplementation
*OR*
2) the unhealthy , with pregnancy problem, carency, and assorted problem, OMNIVORE forced unto a vegan diet by circumstance ? Because that second group will eat protein if the occasion is there.
Furthermore place is limited. The question is maybe the fish protein allows maybe in a much easier and less place taking way to have a varied alimentation than juggling with various plant specie.
Back one or two evrsion ago you clicked on the sound and just did set up the microphone with bar etc... Last version they have now this sucky default stuff I could not find head to tail how to make input sound higher or lower. I had to download an ALSA mixer, and this sucks because it is always setting back the bar to "zero" and mute for front and wave.... Sucky. It was so easy in version (7?) and was definitively not human/user friendly in the last (8?9?) versiob.
The problem is that they would need to ask for an exorbitant prime for insuring the power plant, the damage in case of an bad incidental contamination will be beyond the capability of *any* insured to absorb unless such gigantic prime would be available. It won't matter if the risk is 1 to 1 million or 1 to 1 billion, if the damage to pay goes way over the capital of the insuring company. The enormous prime required would make the cost of nuclear electricity go through the roof.The government simply decided to keep the energy cheap by absolving them and avoiding the use of insurance.
The airline industry has a similar problem, which went through the roof after 9/11. So basically the reaction of the insurer has nothing to do with however safe or unsafe the insurer think the nuke plants are, as you seem to imply. Nuclear plant are much, much safer than any other kind of industry. heck the US coal plant kill more people per gigawatt per years than theUS nuclear industry, due to the mining alone :
The result: estimated radiation doses ingested by people living near the coal plants were equal to or higher than doses for people living around the nuclear facilities. At one extreme, the scientists estimated fly ash radiation in individuals' bones at around 18 millirems (thousandths of a rem, a unit for measuring doses of ionizing radiation) a year. Doses for the two nuclear plants, by contrast, ranged from between three and six millirems for the same period. And when all food was grown in the area, radiation doses were 50 to 200 percent higher around the coal plants.
1)Coal kill more directly in mining operation than nuclear plant total 2) coal release much more radioactivity in the surrounding environment than nuke plant
3) with 1+2 I would rather have a nuke plant in my backyard than a coal plant.
I am maybe stating the obvious but those wind farm are really small viewed from that distance. add to that summer haze and you would not probably be able to distinguish more than a few blob. Personally I would not care a bit.
Click here to agree to the new condition. If you disagree we will still keep your data and sell what you agreed previously to let us sell, but you lose the service. If you agree we will rape your privacy three ways.
The only way to win the game is not to play to begin with. Wargame got it right, only it applies to nearly all service and goods on the net.
You decide to outsource your programmer in bengladore, your sale rep in ireland, your telephonic support in china ? Welllll we decide to buy our game from import from the global market. Too bad they undercut your local monopoly price. Global market baby. You outsource our job, we outsource our buying. Fair is fair.
The problem is not the lens alone but the sensor dye size :
Megapixel myth
So basically you need both , a big lensd and a big dye size, for the same amount of megapixel you get less noise. Naturally increasing megapixel , dye size *and* lens is the bets of the world.
The problem is that at the best of the case , the witness are unreliable. In a stressful situation like rape this is much worst. So 5'7'' or 6'1'' could be the same guy. Really. Now tehre are still problem with DNA matching, as it seems that collision over a huge population can happen (so you can't try to match against a whole database), so I would not trust that too, unless it is to ground a case when the suspect is shown to also have been at the place.
Now consider again from my previous post about barrier of entry that you go from being a young programmer to programming into the linux kernel (no docs etc...). That is even a worst situation. IMHO we will only see medium to older programmer into the linux kernel.
25 years ago when I started it was a literal *TURN* in technology. We got personal computer (Amiga, Comodore, Thomson, Atari) to not only to play , but also to *program* and show off other. Heck even on my first PC I cracked Ultima 5 because the disk stopped working , and found out which instruction NOP to go on (it had a very weak encryption using a XOR increased by 3 every byte). I digress but let us see basically many nerd, and by that I mean a lot of nerd, even non-nerd, started programming took a taste of it, then went on open source etc... Alot of oldies from mainframe are also part of that group. Nowadays ? *ALL* system are either closed , or too complicated to really go on (remember how easy it was to use CGA or even later mode 10h?) , and among the young nerd I know not many really start programming. There you have it. That in my opinion is alone to make people which would be interested into programming less numerous. And tehrefore less young people interested into open source. Naturally I might be wrong and just be a grumpy old man "it was better inmy old day, now off from my lawn".But it looks that way to my anecdotal viewpoint.

1) it is a software patent
2) there is no EULA when you use your camera
3) I am pretty sure it is non valid, in europe, to impose a contract/EULA in an item which is only viewable AFTER the sale.
That said, there might be problem for the US.

Even if you count medical incident in nuclear death incident, there isn't as much per decade as mining per year.
And as far as I can tell coal is more dangerous radioactively wise than nuclear plant:

An exerpt for the lazy :
The result: estimated radiation doses ingested by people living near the coal plants were equal to or higher than doses for people living around the nuclear facilities.
