After all, the Catholic Church has always supported bad science. Think of Galileo being punished for his assertions of Copernican theory, or the belief that masturbation causes blindness?
Being for AGW is just par for the course for Catholicism.
Then also, one has to wonder why anyone cares about 4k content. Sure, it's prettier, but is it enough better looking than a 1080p Blu-ray to make it worthwhile to obtain?
Whatever they design, it'll be broken fairly easily and circumvented just like DVD and Blu-ray and every other DRM format. This is just keeping the plebs from making easy copies.
I hate sports, despite my father's best efforts. The cultural surround makes me recoil in disgust, more than anything else. Also, I think the very small percentage of people who enjoy it who aren't functionally retarded aren't representative of anything about the activity.
I happen to enjoy playing D&D on weekends with a group of adult geeks, but that doesn't make me automatically upset when someone refers to the activity as juvenile and a sausage fest replete with misogyny. My game happens not to be, but most are.
You have to squeeze to get enough blood out if the capillaries aren't cooperating. Hard to do if it isn't a finger. Also makes a mess. Hands are easier to wash. I have enough wrecked dress shirts to know the danger.
46 here. I work in the military-industrial complex. Snowden did us all a signal service.
Think about the limitations of the general public in perceiving this. Do you really think that people who think Kim Kardashian is interesting and like the NFL are really going to give this any serious thought? They'll parrot the line the government throws out.
The interesting part of the poll is that even a tiny percentage think that Snowden did the right thing. Not enough to give me much hope, but enough to surprise me.
The whole design of blood testers for glucose militates using them on the hands or fingers. After thousands of sticks, it hurts worse. I already have to give myself 5 needles a day for insulin in places with adipose fat layers, like the lower arm, top of thigh or my belly. Doing 5 more sticks for tests is just...bullshit. I won't do it. Maybe once a day, if that. Give me a technology that makes it less painful and i'll use it. If I can use it on an area of my body that doesn't usually get stuck (ass cheek? side of thigh? Anywhere where there is muscle behind the skin?) the pain level will be less.
Where in the world are actual intelligent networks? Where is the machine that can learn complex tasks? Where is the bot that can pass a Turing test reliably?
More importantly, where is there a machine that uses something other than a human designed tree search to do things?
I hear this crap about machine intelligence thrown out without any significant exemplars of said intelligence.
Particularly, an X-25M 3gbps SATA drive. Which was pretty fast a few years ago. These are, in practical terms, no faster. I doubt enough data is being moved to see the difference.
Leaking current nation-state intel results in people dying. Fact of life - some agent will be compromised, and if you leak thousands of cables, multiply the deaths.
In comparison, corporate crap pales in significance. Even if you know the design of Acme's newest widget, how much difference could it really make in the short run? Not all that much.
No one in their right mind would release information to them. First, it's a long prison term under the best circumstances, and then you have all of that blood on your conscience.
Those people are fucking assholes. We all know it, at least anyone who had to deal with those rent-seeking losers. The attendant most likely deserved every iota of the abuse she got in that video.
I seem to remember a National Geographic issue circa 1980 that was featuring Yanomami.
The last actually isolated tribe that I am aware of was in the New Guinea highlands back in the 30s. The rest have had more or less direct contact with civilization. Do you really think they were never visited by a missionary? Have you ever met one of those people?
This guy is showing ignorance of the law. He gave them a reason to believe he did something wrong, and then wants a warrant? First, the warrant will be rubberstamped based upon his comments, but second, they don't need a warrant once that is established.
You see, back in the grand old days of the USSR, all the rage was creating the "New Soviet Man" who would have all the best qualities and truly bring about World Socialism. All differences between race, ethnicity, even gender would be erased. Everyone would be the same fine specimens. We see how well that worked out.
It's amazing that the LA school district can't think of anything new, so has to replicate the failed policies of the Soviets.

They were telling kids not to jack off when I was a kid, dude.

The funny part is that it was written by a U.S. Navy Public Affairs Office (PAO) writer.
There are lots of bright people in government. They rarely shine amidst the muddle, though.
The slaves' ancestors in Africa were also slave owners, in many cases. There is plenty of irony to go around here.
And yes, African slavery differed from the Western Hemisphere kind, but slavery it remained, regardless of nuance.
Delicious post. Like finding a pig with wings in this sewer. Deserves an upmod.
I suspect it doesn't mean the same thing in Deutsch, right?

My bet is "no".

So having internal confirmation by a known figure is not useful?
Why do we need whistleblowers then? You seem to be contending that internal witnesses of corruption aren't a necessary thing.

It's easier to get laid on CL than in the Amazonian jungle...the missionaries have a good reason to go out there.

Real airgapped networks have physical separation as well. Think Tempest.
An aircraft has limitations in this regard, but I doubt seriously that the wifi systems on the plane are interconnected in any way with the avionics.
We already want to change every law for this billionaire fucker. Now he gets to not fail when he fails.
