Exactly. Criminals and terrorists are usually too smart to voluntarily give their DNA to anybody. The FBI would really be wasting its time if they were looking for bad guys. I suspect they're just wanting the DNA records for future mischief and/or blackmailing.
Give credit where credit is due. Olaf Stapledon was the first to describe such a sphere. Dyson borrowed (i.e. stole) the idea. Stapledon was one of the greatest sci-fi writers, but most people have never heard of him, much less read his works.
I love the taste of meat, but I have to limit my intake of it because of gout. I appreciate the efforts to make veggie burgers taste more like real meat. Some of them are quite good already. I just wish they were a bit cheaper.
Of course we need government. The poster didn't say we needed no government. We just need a government that is restrained by law - in our case the Constitution. You know, the document that every politician tries to ignore. Those of us who would like the government to actually follow and abide by the Constitution are called extremists nowadays. Shows you how far the country has gone down the drain.
We sometimes need fire, but we certainly don't need our house to be on fire. It's a matter of scale.
As long as the bad guys have guns, cops will need guns. Sure, most of the time something less than lethal is needed, but for those times when you're facing a bad guy with a gun, only a gun will do.
One last time, and try to pay attention this time. Corporations DO NOT pay taxes; they simply collect the $$ from us and send it to the government. WE the people pay all of the taxes.
For example, if you raise the taxes on xyz corporation, they will simply raise the prices of their products/services to keep their bottom line the same. They have to if they want to make a profit. Prices have to go up to cover the company's obligations. It has happened time after time after time, to the point where I thought everybody with half a brain would have gotten the concept by now.
If I understand correctly, the country they came to first was Turkey. By international law, Turkey is obliged to let them stay if they are truly refugees. Turkey is not allowed to simply let them pass through to wherever they think they can get the most benefits.
What's wrong with waterboarding? Just think of it as involuntary nasal irrigation, and you don't even have to buy a Neti pot! People do it to themselves all the time.
Nobody in the whole universe knows what a socialism is, not even socialists themselves. No matter how you define it there will always be somebody who says you're wrong. They won't even accept the definition given by recognized socialist organizations.
Anyway, Hillary has described herself as a "progressive" in the old sense (meaning early 20th Century). Anybody care to define THAT?
Yep, we're turning the clock back hundreds of years with this crap. Disagree with the majority and get put in prison or executed. And they call themselves "scientists"! They don't know what a scientist is. Most here don't, either.
If an idea can't stand on its own without silencing opposing opinions, then it's not much of an idea to start with.
That's insane. The thugs steal from the poor more often than they steal from the rich, mainly because they are close by and usually unarmed. There are thugs out there who will kill you for a few dollars. They don't care who you are or how much money you have.
And far, far more blacks are killed by other blacks than by law enforcement, despite what the mainstream media would have you believe.
I know a lot of cops. There are rich ones, poor ones, black ones, white ones, and everything in between. Most are salt of the Earth and a few shouldn't be trusted with any authority at all. They're just like everybody else trying to do a job and make it to retirement.
You would think that people who live and work in areas that are prone to forest fires would have the sense to build using fireproof materials AND clear the trees and underbrush for at least a hundred yards from their structures.
I'm satisfied with my cable company giving me 50. I'm averaging 66 any time of day when I check it. Apparently nobody else near me is using cable for internet. The one time this year when it went down was because of a fiber miles from me being cut.
I'm sure as time goes by they will go up and up and up with the speed. They always have, even without me asking.
I had biology class in a small town in Alabama way back in 1967. My teacher was a very religious lady who was in church every time the door was open, but she taught us about evolution and natural selection. For her it was science and she was teaching a science course. Her beliefs were something she left at the door. We all knew, and most of the class agreed with her beliefs. She was tough as nails and it was hard to make an 'A' in her class. I made straight A's.
I also had her for human physiology class. The final exam had only one question. Name the ten systems in the human body, the organs that make up each system, and the functions of those organs. Simple, huh?
In short, good science teachers will teach science. Personally I see no disagreement between science and religion. One tells you how and the other tells you why.
As much as I detest Obama, it's not just his administration. Incompetence and government go together like peanut butter and jelly.
The problem is an over-bloated bureaucracy that doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground. And for that we can blame both parties and 99.9% of all politicians.

Nothing I like better than a fully stacked woman.
Oh, wait, you mean this is about coding?
Never mind.

No, sharks are more interchangeable with lawyers. In fact, they're almost the same creature.
Let's make Mexico the 51st state!! That'll show 'em!

I'm such a geek that I honestly thought this discussion would be about the real big bang theory.
I haven't watched sitcoms or network television in over twenty years.
Well, Jobs was an ass, but Carly still got the last laugh. She's alive and doing fine, while Jobs is rotting in his grave.
I don't think she will be the next President. Neither will Jobs.

You could buy a new set of strings for your viola!!

Oh, great, and what if water kills them?
What a world, what a world!

I never had an S3, but I did have an S2. The S2 unlocks by swiping in any direction. Just checked it to be sure,
So does my S5. On the S5 lock screen I have two icons. one to go directly to the camera and the other to go directly to the phone.

More like, are you alive? Then you've been spied on.
You don't even have to use a phone or the internet. There are cameras everywhere!

You're not fooling us. You're just a cow speaking another language.
