Given the brain development argument, and the fact that compassion for those weaker than us is a sign of intelligence, I'd have to ask the question if we can then abort the lives of pro-choicers who use the brain development argument (since using that argument is, to me, a definite sign of an undeveloped brain).
Of course, that was the guy who had the letter from a mother of an autistic child on his website, wishing that a pre-natal test for autism was possible so that she could have aborted the child.
I can't imagine this being sold as a security device. But as a memory aid, it would be of immense help. And at 1TB/year, this is well within the range of say, your average Wall Street Stock broker right now, that's only $4000/year for your replaceable SSD to record the data.
Funny, when I was given it in the hospital for a cut over my eye, it worked wonderfully well. In fact, it was the only anestheic I needed for getting sewn up.
Glad to see this as first post- it's *EXACTLY* the alternative explanation I thought- especially if the money in question is US currency in any paper format. I've heard cocaine residue can be found on up to 90% of US paper money that has been in circulation for more than a year.
RTFA- the vortex previously used to explain this effect was gone when Cassini came by- but the hexagon was still there. This is a laboratory experiment, completely reproducible, that explains the effect in a new way.
If they're from your own city, then it's even *easier* to stop them. Trace the packets to the specific neighborhood, pull the fuse from the power line.
So was the gp post- we have no need to scrap any liberties to fight cyberattacks. Read what tjstork wrote on, and my reply will make more sense to you.
Different kind of warfare. The British, Germans, and even the Soviets basically come from the same set of values we do- and thus their spies followed the unwritten rules (get military secrets only, don't attack civilians, etc).
This results in only TWO viable solutions: closed borders or genocide. Unfortunately our for-profit military is taking a third, unsustainable, option instead: eternal war.
And there's your reason for ripping up the Constitution. The Constitution was designed to protect the country against enemies domestic and foreign that basically followed our same values and respected human life. For a time it also worked against enemies that didn't. But the dogma of Sola Jihad is a major game changer. Civilians aren't off limits. An attacker doesn't even need a huge supply chain behind him; a single individual can declare war on an entire nation. And most scary of all- is the hardest form of attack to stop- the attack where the attacker is willing to *trade his life* to take the lives of *multiple or important targets*.
The Nazis had NOTHING on the Muwahiddun- even their genocide of the Jews didn't come close to the monster of adolescent and oppressed middle age rage they've unleashed.
Maybe you are not as fast on the subject as you thought you were. Or the project takes longer then 20 hours a week because of X,Y, or Z.
I was honest about what I could do; they were not honest in how well this project had been documented in the past. And the price they are paying is $25/hr LESS than what I was paid for similar work in 1999 in the same city; they're just trying to cut corners.
And yes, I will not be making the same mistake in negotiating again. I will insist on seeing *ALL* project documentation up front AND a full code review with former developers before agreeing to take on the work of an entire software team alone for part-time pay.
I hope so. Fire me in the right way, by making my consulting company lose the contract, and I can claim a lack of work through my consulting company and thus unemployment while I put out 50-100 resumes a week looking for other work.
Or do the right thing and add hours to the project.
Either way, I've lessened my stress level (though also my earnings).
Same with me- just trying to hang in there at this point. In an effort to get more hours working on a project that is viewed by consulting company management as "non-billable hours", have even offered to cut my hourly just to get more hours.
And the stress level on my billable project is way up, as Fortune 500 company expects 40 hours worth of work a week on a project that I'm limited to only billing 20 hours a week on. I'm being stubborn on that one though- sooner or later they'll notice that I'm only hitting 1 deadline in 5 and ask why.
Not only do most users not care- but the few who do aren't going to want an either-or system that blocks out their friends who are less technically adept.
" and it goes and fetches all your social networking data from all the social networking applications, closing all your accounts."
Is not a reasonable way to go about it.
Replace that line with "and it goes and fetches all your social networking data from all the social networking applications, and syncs it daily, giving you an always-on local server *combining* updates from several social networking sites" and I'd consider paying up to $500 for such a device.
And for your going to jail, some guy in Nigeria gets a large wire transfer that went out in the mean time- that's the problem with funds being available in the account immediately.
RTFA: "The photo gets sent to the bank through its mobile application. In most cases, funds are in the customers account immediately."
Soon to come- android and iphone customers are bombarded with spam containing the pictures of check of large amounts, "to be deposited and wired back to us for a 10% check cashing fee". None of which are any good.
And has it occurred to you yet that a neat way to embezzle from companies that send you checks is with photoshop?
FTA: "The photo gets sent to the bank through its mobile application. In most cases, funds are in the customers account immediately."
Coming soon: iPhone customers get e-mails of photos of large checks from overseas customers, with an offer of 10% of the check in return for "check cashing services" and wire transferring back the balance.
Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. But you'd be right in thinking that kids are being pushed out of these jobs in favor of adults because there is a labor surplus on the market overall.
Minimum wage jobs do a credit check as a part of the vetting process now- I'm not sure what the assumptions of the Human Resources Department are with lower scores, but having student loans means you had some education, which gives them an excuse to say you're overqualified for the job and skip over you in favor of some other applicant.
Such things happen when there are 6 applicants for every job.

Well, I doubt the cartoonist goes around encouraging the murder of autistic people, like this mother did on George Tiller's website:

The Islamics don't come from a Judaeo-Christian background; and the advent of the Dogma of Sola Jihad among the Muwahiddun sect of Islam has resulted in a a war we have already lost.
This results in only TWO viable solutions: closed borders or genocide. Unfortunately our for-profit military is taking a third, unsustainable, option instead: eternal war.

Yes, it occurs to me also that escalating cyberwarfare into a real hot war, is the answer.
Hackers can't do very much when the city they come from has been hit by an EMP from a nuclear weapon.

OTOH, there might be a good market for Faraday cages for hypochondriacs there.
But to see him on 20/20, he'd have to leave the basement during daylight, and sunlight kills the geek vampire.
I used to work in Chicago,
In a department store,
I used to work in Chicago,
I do but I don't anymore.
A lady came in for a cake,
I said what kind did you come for?
She said layer and we only had chocolate,
I do but I don't anymore.
