Perhaps thats the form future tests could take... cut a pig all the way in half, then try to put it back together with all the extra time they have... now I wanna go see a magic show.
For me, it's less a question of "is it me?". It's more a question of "is there a me?". My goal with cryonics is to try to ensure that something of me survives into the far future. It's less important to me, for it to actually be me, than for a me to exist. Any copy of me would be quite happy to be alive in the future, and as such I believe that I should make that happen if I can.
On a side note... I feel like anyone who hasn't made cryonics arrangements is essentially commiting suicide at the time of their death.
I liked standing up while working, I also paced around, and would lay down when I wanted. For A couple of months I removed all of the chairs from my house, and it was almost impossible for me to zone out. Now the chairs are back, and I'm sitting as I type this. I had better posture when I was standing all the time. Maybe I'll take them away again. The biggest problem was finding or rigging high enough work surfaces.
Anything you tell a phisher, they can tell the bank.
They don't need your card, your phone, or the coordinates. All they need is for you to tell them, what you would tell the bank. These are real time attacks.
If you log into a phishing website, what is to stop the phishing website from replaying your actions to the bank, to have the bank send you the SMS, that the phisher then steals from you, to break into your account?
Putting your name on something means that YOU are willing to back up your words with your reputation.
It's easy to say anything if nobody knows who said it, but to say something unpopular and tie yourself to it with conviction opens the way for others to speak freely.
Perhaps this discussion will come back to bite me when I run for president, but at this time, in this place, this is what I believe.
Come off it. We don't live 200 years ago, anonymity is a means to an end...change. I believe we are advanced enough to change without anonymity, and the costs of anonymity are outweighing the benefits.
It's better to not need anonymity, than to need it. The way to get there is by not using it.
I don't want to have to sulk in the shadows, in fear that someone might connect me with my words.
Anonymity is a Ring of Gyges.
I'd like to live in a world where no one fears because ALL people and organizations must be responsible for their words and actions, Including governments.
Of the evils you have listed, I believe selective enforcement is the most insideous, and there are some things that just cannot be said and done anonymously. Even the text you just wrote might be traced to you, perhaps by word analysis, if it were a matter of national security. It is better to have everything out in the open, and for things in the open to be safe.
That's a good idea, and perhaps I am a little bit of a hypocrite, though I have been using the name Pontifier for my online ID for years. It's not realy all that anonymous.
If it will cost me my job, freedom, or life, then I might not say it, or will choose carefully who I say it to.
Seeing as how I don't work for someone else, and live in the U.S., chances are good I can say anything I like without losing any of those things.
If you get fired for something you say then let the courts deal with it.
I am a strong believer in Freedom of Speech. I am Free to say what I want, and am Free to put my name on it.
If something is worth saying, it's worth putting your name on it.
Anyway, that's how I feel.
If you think you are right then say so. And if someone disagrees then you can find out why.
If you are using a crappy sensor it reads the light 1 row at a time, transfering the rows information before it gets the next row. You can see this on a camera phone as you wave it around and verticle or horizontal lines become curved or slanted.
If you are using a good sensor the information is captured all at once, and then read out over time so that the entire image was captured simultaneously. A sensor like this is like a memory device that is filled by magic, and wiped all at once. You can read from it as slowly as you'd like. the 1/2000th of a second is the time between the device being charged, and the state of each pixel being frozen. This tells you nothing about the bulk transfer rate unless you can actually capture 2000 pictures in 1 second, and I highly doubt that.

In a realtime attack, the phisher could make you read it for them.

...and bilge drinking.
Wow! I've used a beer bong, but using a pump to force the alcohol into you?... Brilliant!
see Good Clean Porn. The one I saw was quite entertaining.
So you think life started more than once on this planet? If you go back far enough, my lawn could be my cousin.

So they used their anonymity to try to sully your name?
If people could not be anonymous, do you think this would have happened?
Any sufficiently anonymous public outlet will become clogged with spam.

I wish I owned that domain...

So you have the option of taking credit for what you say when it turns out that you were right.

Yeah I guess you weren't because I was still arguing with you.

I think that would, by defenition, be holography.
Can it sustain 2000 frames per second for any length of time?
you're talking about shutter speed.
Maybe they meant retinal scan quality of the crowd....
I saw an ad on tv a few months ago for a GGW where they flew around in a KC-135. I think i'm gonna order it right now.
