Alright. Lets break it down further. Middle of a city of 200,000+. We automatically must cut that in half, since it was a man (and I'm being generous, as usually women out number men, if I remember correctly).
Now, if we further break that down to cut out people the young and the very old. Lets say 1-10 years old, and 70-100. Now that is again, will have to be based on an assumption but that will cut it down a good amount. "Tan man" is pretty vague, but we might be able to rule out a lot of different races based on how well the given discription was. We further will have to cut down people that are at home, at work, or have a verifiable excuse that they were not at the scene of the crime.
Are you starting to see that that.1% chance has just was significantly reduced?
No it does not say that, it says "will thus record a specific event only if it matches a predetermined set of conditions".
If you already know about a specific particle or have recorded a similiar 'event' you will have no need to record it as you already know about it. We are trying to discover new particles that we believe to actually be there.
In other words, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Why record/keep each piece of straw when you are trying to find a needle?
With it and IE7 running behind it, it uses extremely low memory (4.5MB's with 15 tabs open), has fast fixes to security problems and includes a very decent community of plug-in and theme creators.
I do believe it has had less security holes than Firefox as well (according to Securina), but that might just be a side effect of security through obscurity.
If blizzard wishes to deny someone the right to play their game, they are just exercising a form of speech.
Forcing them to allow something, is taking away their freedom.
If this was the government, then it would be a completely different situation.
BUT this is a PRIVATE ran game and business.
Just like how a bar can deny a person entry for whatever reason they deem to be fit, a game can do exactly the same.
While we might not view it as being ethical in some form, it is their choice. If they lose business over it, they will probably change their policy.
Anyways, way blown out of proportion.
It really is jus gay... er I mean retarded, er... jewish errr...
Ah forget it.
Point that is being made, is words evolve. I know people that are homosexual, that use the word gay in that way. Just like how gay use to mean happy, it is now tranforming into meaning stupid or lame or whatever. Just like how nigger evolved from an ok term, to a slur, to a semi-slur when said by certain people.
They actually introduced this first at the grocery store I work at.
When they first came, all employees where required to watch a video, so that we could help customers with it.
The video reminded me a lot of 1984.
"Repeat after me. Pay by Touch is fast - secure - free"
I aruged with those folks for a bit. Tried to explain to them how it is insecure and that the use of two types of verfication is recommended.
"Oh, there is a pin number as well. It is your phonenumber."
My freaking phonenumber? Might as well put it as 12345.
When I mentioned 1984, the guy started talking about the mark of the beast and doom sayers, and 666. I sorta just gave up after that.
While reading the terms of service, I discovered they can sell your personal information to other companies that are associated with them.
Anyways, the touch pad is intergrated into the self sliding credit card thing. I'm told by the cashiers that not many people use it. The only people I have seen use it are the Pay By Touch ones.
You can have different accounts on different fingers, and you get to decide which one you want to use.
The first Pay By Touch person found it particulary funny that he used his middle finger. He kept flicking us off, exclaiming, "Yes, and this is the one I use. Har Har Har."
Anyways. Not that great. I don't use it, and I don't know any co-workers that use it.
Sliding a card is much faster than -
Pressing a button wait to load enter in PIN number (phone number) enter press finger on scanner wait for it to scan
Did it find it? Did dirt mess up the scan? A scratch on the finger?
For hell's sake, just use a damn plastic card or cash.

This is incorrect if you are speaking of the United States.

It is even easier to take the stickers off and place them correctly.
