the law of the country you are in. If you enter NZ with your work laptop, they obey their laws and you lose your job.
Suggest strongly you do not take work laptops into NZ. Frankly, with this new law, I would pick up a cheap burner phone there in NZ and bring along a chrome laptop with nothing on it but a method to go to my personal cloud for anything I need.
To be clear, 99% of people are doing nothing wrong, I am sure, but I do not need some government flunky from some other country sifting through my personal crap/bank accounts, purchases on ebay or amazon, pictures of the last vacation I was on, prospective investments, etc.
well, Mr or Ms Belgian, we have multiple parties. Just the two largest ones are all most people care about.
All Americans COULD have voted for the Socialist Party candidate, or the Libertarian Candidate, or any of maybe twenty other candidates, there also is a 'write in' option where you can write in any name you want. Mickey Mouse always gets a few votes.
The problem is that many Americans believe a vote for any other candidate than a Republican or a Democrat is a 'wasted vote' when that is not true. If 20% of all Americans eligible to vote voted for a Libertarian (for example) that Libertarian would win because we never get even 40% of eligible voters to vote!
I am sorry you know so little about America, but then again, Americans don't know much about your country, so I guess it is all fair.
actually, their profit speaks to lots of people buying their products, meaning, they must be good, in the eyes of all those people, or people wouldn't spend a premium to buy them.
Basic logic. try it sometime.
so, what do you suggest?
Waiting for the patient to die? Appendicitis is a killer, it kills people if left untreated.
Right now the two options are surgery or with this article, antibiotics. What is the third alternative you suggest?
Lots of Vietnamese were on our side, so much so that in order to avoid 'retraining camps' or simply being killed, they left their country any way they could.
and yet Hilary Clinton gets nothing for her doing the same.
Wakeup people, we have two different sets of laws, one for us, the little people, and one for our Lords and Ladies.
Just like insider trading is illegal for you and I, but our elected officials are only requested to let us know when they do it!
how about we stop being simplistic in our thinking?
Imagine I have a metalic substrate, I spray a 4 mm coating of urethane to it, then I my antenna over that after the urethane has dried. Now I have an antenna with a backplane 'distorting'; the beam in one direction, or one could say, attenuating the incoming signals from one direction.
Would this have value? Depends on my use case.
Imagine instead I use an expanding foam as my barrier rather than simple urethane? Now I can develope a larger thickness if I so desire.
In both cases I mention above one can create much cheaper antennas in a conformal mode.
one could spray it on in heavier concentrations, cover it with a protective coating, etc...being able to spray an antenna on, vice build an antenna then mount it is a big deal.
Protective coatings are not unknown.
you forgot to mention how everyone in those meetings presumes infinite bandwidth, 100% network availability, all bits transmitted are received 100% of the time.
Yes, they do. No, they aren't 1.5 decades behind, more like 4 decades behind. They are really only knowledgeable in how to lie and manipulate people, nothing else.
really? I hated being called to the front of the class to present. I hated it when the teacher told me how good I did in front of the class. I hated all of that.
Today I am a couple of weeks shy of my 59th birthday. I make 6 figures and have to brief decision makers regularly. That experience from my elementary school days of fear and loathing has NOT made it any easier today, even though I have actually taken many classes in presenting, been in therapy when needed, and addressed my social anxiety in all the legal and ethical ways recommended.
It may be a 'rite of passage', but that does not equal it helping anyone to actually be better at it when they actually do suffer from social anxiety!
FYI, no one 'raises people to overcome their disadvantages' when it is an issue of mental health. They merely say stupid shit like, "Get over it" which is not helpful at all, and then of course there is the ridicule heaped upon them by their peers.
so, basically you are saying you didn't read my citations and your response is to be insulting?
Got it.
In the USA we have many Black children with Rickets. But, maybe you're white and don't care about brown people?
actually, we had the technology to do it 50 years ago. Unfortunately we let that slip away. But, we can reclaim it and do it better now than we would have done it then.
... if they don't put a budget in place to support it. The way we fund things in the US means that any one president can say anything, but that doesn't mean a thing if Congress doesn't agree and fund it, and it still means nothing if the follow - on Presidents do not also agree and the follow - on Congress's do not continue to fund.
It took us 8 years to get to the moon, over 3 presidents, and they all had to fund the thing... Frankly if Nixon had had his way, he would have killed it sooner than he did.
And, of course, 90% of Americans these days do not understand the importance of the research done to get to the moon.

removing catalytic converters doesn't affect gas mileage or power. i have done it and found the gains to be infinitisimal

sounds to me like they actually didn't 'contol' it so much as they simply initiated it!
isn't that the definition of a lawyer? Definition, Lawyer: a fucking piece of shit, see Dick.
citation? Surgery has been commonly done for over 100 years, please cite where a colon cleanse cured appendicitis.
yes, they do. The artricle linked to suggests that they worked in over 200 cases of the study.
so, what do you suggest? Waiting for the patient to die? Appendicitis is a killer, it kills people if left untreated. Right now the two options are surgery or with this article, antibiotics. What is the third alternative you suggest?
Too bad you are anon, I would mod this up if I could!
were you not aware that ALL countries do this?
Lots of Vietnamese were on our side, so much so that in order to avoid 'retraining camps' or simply being killed, they left their country any way they could.

I see you have not heard of fractal antennas also known as a variation on space filling antennas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

That's nice, the largest nation in the world produces the most reseach papers got it. But are they mostly crap papers? https://qz.com/978037/china-pu... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/1... https://www.nature.com/news/20... Did the author of that peper just use numbers of papers written, just as they only used email addresses from within China to count Chinese papers?
well, go into poor neighborhoods and look at black children. Or, maybe read the citations I made?
so, basically you are saying you didn't read my citations and your response is to be insulting? Got it. In the USA we have many Black children with Rickets. But, maybe you're white and don't care about brown people?
some people just want to blame former President Obama for everything they do not like.
actually, we had the technology to do it 50 years ago. Unfortunately we let that slip away. But, we can reclaim it and do it better now than we would have done it then.
