Yea I agree. Clearly there are some people in this country that see themselves as members of some of these mental and behavioral disorder groups and want to get a lot of people worked up about this. Hard to get worked up about who Russia gives driver licenses to when they are busy invading and annexing other neighboring countries and shooting down civilian airliners (well. to be fair, just one recently). Perhaps those who live lifestyles that many would consider perversion could effect more change in Russia by opposing Putin's invading other nations than by opposing who they give the privilege of driving to.
"I have two daughters of my own coming up on college age," he (Intel CEO Brian Krzanich) said to the NYT. "I want them to have a world that's got equal opportunity for them."
Just what does this bleeding heart liberal want? Equal Opportunity for his daughters, or affirmative action for a bunch of people who may not have earned it and are just coasting along on the liberal charity? Because you can't have both Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, and this sure sounds more like Affirmative Action than Equal Opportunity.
In it, the outgoing Senator said that DHS's strategy and programs "are unlikely to protect us from the adversaries that pose the greatest cybersecurity threat."
DUH! DHS and the NSA are the greatest threats to American cybersecurity.
NO, not as far as I can tell from the linked article and a Google search for an image. ZZT seemed to be more related to scrolls and gems and torches and other D&D stuff. The game that I'm trying to find was more of a "build the machine" or "play one of the provided machines" type game and the machine was a complex cellular animation where certain cells caused movement and other reactions in other cells.
Thanks, but no, not LIFE. There was at least one "map" that was cellular like LIFE in that it started with a complex setup and then ran with no further input by the user, but most maps involved the user providing some sort of input between frames of movement. Things tended to move around the map and moving pieces could be created and removed, but not in the same sense as LIFE. The cell contents were much more complex than just the simple "empty or occupied" concept of Life.
I've been trying to remember the name of an old DOS "game" without success for some time now. Can anyone remember this game:
It was a shareware DOS game the used only the native character set, mostly symbols like slashes and * and other pseudo-graphical characters. It used the screen as a large 2 dimensional workspace, and moved pieces around the screen based on other cells that served as twirling propellers, moving panels and other simple character animations. Some of the "maps" were amazingly complex for such a simple basic concept. I don't really remember enough about it to find it with a search (I have tried), but I'm hoping this rather poor description might trigger something in someone else's memory.
OK, early fish could see in colors. And clearly modern birds (and their dino ancestors) can see in color. There is strong observal evidence that amphibians can see in color too. So just how is it that virtually all mammals supposedly lost the ability to see in color (which itself is hard for me to buy) and yet then the apes evolved the ability to see in color again and they did it with the same rod and code mechanism that was used in the primitive fish. I'm hard pressed to believe that there is an advantage for colorblindness that would have been selected for in the earliest mammals.
We exchanged e-mails a couple of days, but my problem is still unresolved and my Kyocera Event is still showing in the Android Market as incompatible in spite of your saying that it matches all of the requirements. Are there a lot of people having such problems or is my problem relatively rare?
Also the summary and the linked article lists the size of the current library, but I have not been able to find that actual list. Is there a list of available books so that those of us who cannot yet run the app or download their shelfie can see if we have many matches to what you can offer?
I would have preferred to have been asked, "should the Olympics be abolished?".
The Olympics is little more than dirty politics, enriching the members of the IOC with bribe money and having an overall negative impact on the common citizens of the countries that host the games. Of course, they do provide free condoms and a great opportunity for the few privileged participants to have lots of sex, but unless you're one of the uber-rich that can afford to compete then that probably isn't important to you. And lets not even get started on what they have done to legitimate businesses who innocently used the words Olympic or Olympus in their names for decades before the games came to their city. They do at least as much harm to the overall community as a Papal visit. The games and the IOC should be abolished, not grown.
The real answer is that the oil companies want more profit. But don't worry, when oil prices go back up again, or even look like they might go back up again, the gas prices will rise. No Lag. No "cost of oil is a small factor" nonsense. And you are right, while gasoline prices have gone down, they have not gone down as much as they should have or as quickly as they should based on the oil prices.
If you build radio signal blocking into all of your pockets, doesn't that also screw up your cell phone from getting a call? And wouldn't it muck with my keyless entry system on my car where I just carry the fob in my pocket and the car will know when it is me trying to get in or start it?
Well, SONY might not be as "All-American" as "Home of the Brave" implies.
But, while the terrorists have won, SONY could do their part to rob the terrorists of their victory. Since they have decided NOT to release the movie to theaters anyway, they could score a great public relations victory by giving away lots of free copies. Imagine free DVDs at lots of retailers and/or sent to anyone who signs up for a free DVD on a Sony website getting a copy in the mail, delivered by an agent of the U.S. Government. And, of course, free digital downloads for people who don't care about quality. And it would send a nice message to all munchkin dictators. Hack us because you don't like what we say, you don't get to silence us, you get us to send out our movie to even more viewers than would have seen it before.
Not that I expect Sony to do something that would have such a positive effect; I expect them to allow the terrorists to win and focus on making money. Just saying that it is what I would do if I ran Sony. I do not.
"and the ascent vehicle that the astronauts would use to return to Venus's orbit, and home."
The summary establishes that the gravity is about Earth gravity. The "ascent vehicle" can't be something small and simple like the stories say was used to get the astronauts off the moon. With a 1G gravity well we would be talking about a large launch vehicle here. And, unless NASA has been wasting our tax dollars just for show then that also implies that it would need all of the launch pad accessories that we use here in our own 1G environment, you don't just launch something like that from a balloon suspended in hot acid.
They can put whatever disclaimer that they want on the e-mails, but if e-mails or other documents show that Sony is involved in illegal things, then the disclaimers will not protect that from disclosure. Of course, the press would be wise to thoroughly investigate and make sure then they were not passing along bogus information that North Korea was trying to falsely attribute to them. But given that this is Sony and "lawyer" David Boies, I think that this threat reeks of desperation and would not be at all surprised to find that illegal things were leaking out. You can't hide a conspiracy or other illegal action simply by attaching legal boiler-plate "for internal use only" tags to all of the documents.
And I'm sure that couldn't possibly be a scam to try to get people to order a few slivers of onion or green pepper at an extra cost of $1.50 each (while taking away some of the pepperoni at the same time).
So why wait until the animals are thirsty? Point south to maximize power generation. Start pumping as soon as you have power and pump as long as needed to supply water for the day. You're not going to have that much evaporation loss by pumping slightly early, and the animals are better of drinking throughout the day rather than waiting until the hot part of the day.
If you're a utility you have your panels set up so that they rotate to face the sun. If you are a smaller player with only a single panel or a few at most and no economical way to rotate them to track the sun, then what matters to you is how much you can earn from the panel, and that likely means pointing it to get maximum generating capacity, not maximum capacity at peak time of demand. Unless the power company is buying the power at higher prices at times of high demand. And I doubt that they are doing that in many places.
America has become an Obamanation. Sexism is good, as long as it is for the purposes of things the "good" people want and not for the purposes that the "bad" people want. Just look at our last two supreme court appointments to see that it isn't about getting qualified people any more, it is about sexist and racist agendas.
I'm running Mint 17.0 now. Love it. Used to be a big Knoppix fan, but Knoppix has more and more problems with simple browsing and playing videos. Mint just works the way that it should, with no need to install anything extra (and the supposed installs for Knoppix are broken as far as I can tell). But I'm running this live disc the way that God intended, as a live disc, not as some damn installed system (actually running it on a broken laptop without a hard disk so there is no temptation to install it). If I want to run an installed Linux system I'll install Debian on another system. So I don't need no stinkin' "Upgrade manager", I just need to download the ISO, pop out 17.0 and pop in and boot 17.1. I can deal with that without an "Upgrade manager".

You can't defraud a digital currency without some form of hacking.
I take offense at the comparison. I like monkeys.

Please keep the discussion to coffee. I'm straight, as is most of the population, and I don't want to know what you do when you go to San Francisco
Right. And Obama can't make us buy insurance. After all, this is America. We have rights.
And I'm sure that couldn't possibly be a scam to try to get people to order a few slivers of onion or green pepper at an extra cost of $1.50 each (while taking away some of the pepperoni at the same time).
Good point. It's amazing that the article didn't mention which way your roof slants. I don't know how they forgot about your tree though.
