Lazy, lazy, lazy. Using her apprerence to denigrate her arguments is gutter tabloid tactics. Unless you're, you know, like 12 years old in which case carry on.
That's genius. Announce facial recognition deployment, put up a few dummy cameras which keep the theives away and with the time and money saved attend the festival and relax.
Mind-bogglingly huge geographically but, at 4-5% of the worlds population, statisically insignificant. If America was a person, it's lips would move when it read.
Or... ...Chuck Norris, currently rampaging through Western Africa, has now been sighted in Europe, America and China with a major new outbreak occuring in Mexico city in the last 24 hours. Scientists are voicing concern on the difficulty of containing Chuck Norris and expect many more deaths in the coming months. Here's Bob with the details....
I reckon the average penis must at least double in length when erect so do the nerves in there do? An elephant penis can grow to 6 1/2 foot long! And while I think on, what about nerves in frog or bird vocal sacs? Chameleon's tongue? Hyper-elastic skin conditions?
I can pay for good and services with my debit card. I can also make withdrawls and get cash back from 3rd parties. I can even withdraw money from competing banks cash points but I can't go into a different bank and pay money into an account with my debit card. The reason I can't do this is competition between banks (the kind lady behind the counter told me confidentially). This is not a technical problem. What I want to be able to do with my money is not my banks priority.
Tats and piercing can look good done right but there's a point wherethay get so big/badly done, that you don't see the person anymore, you see the ink and metal, it gets in the way. It's the same with clothes but when somebody wears something that looks just bad on them they can change. There's even a feedback loop there so peoples dress sense often improves with age. Once you've got a 5 inch hole in your earlobe or stars across your chest it's often too late. And if you already look crap why not commit to it? Embrace the shite and go for broke? I think that's why a lot of ink and piercings can end up looking like damage.
This. I am so glad my sons have now got into the backend of minecraft and are currently skirting around simple mods. They have made the connection between the code and the game on their own and have begun researching into it. They think it's just having fun but they're teaching themselves how it works, how to problem solve, researching skills, making efficiencies on repetative tasks, hell, they now have a reason to learn to type effectively and asked about keyboard shortcuts. At 7 my youngest can now copy and paste via the keyboard. I support many millenials in my work and a good proportion of them can't do that.
My other half keeps suggesting we get them tablets which horrifies me. They don't need yet another device they can passively consume media on. They've been talking about playing Minecraft on a LAN so I've an old PC which needs more memory, a graphics card and probably an SSD to make it Mincraftable. I will be encouraging them to install the hardware themselves.
...not the colour perception issue IMO but that this has caused such a big storms on the tubes in the first place. I got shown the picture yesterday and could see it could be blue or white and it's difficult to tell which given the poor lighting. I mean we've all more or less got cameras in our pockets or bags all the time these days, how have so many people missed seeing poorly lit, bad quality pics with white balance issues?
We have to change our passwords every month and this always causes me to pause a beat to recall the current password. I asssume because one month isn't long enough to forget the last and become habituated to the new. Anyway, I've started using swearwords and, interestinglym find I can recall them significantly faster with less interference from previous passwords.
We still have one of these. Frankly after a couple of goes the nostalgia wears off. When you have to call your mobile to find it, you don't want to mess about with the rotary, I revert to the push button.
This being where it is, let's try a car analogy: Isn't it better to cause several smaller controlled crashes, releasing the energy and thus slowing a car, than one huge one where the energy is released in one go, especially if the crash was inevitable? After all the energy is already built up in the momentum of the car, crashing it gently doesn't PUT that energy there. Obviously, not all cars will crash but if we release the energy in cars with small controlled crashes, where's the harm?......hmmm.....could do with work that one.
They are trying to stop easy, casual piracy being the norm. They are trying to knock down the biggest threats. It's a perfectly rational response to the situation whether you agree with it or not. They might be idiots but they're not stupid.

Suuuure....riiiight. Treat them like people *wink wink*, just as if they they're real people. *nod, wink*
What's 2% of 7 billion? I'm not good at maths but I bet it's a bit more than fuck all.
Probably more like a 50/50 split?

I'll see that and raise you a separate browser installation via a vpn.

That would exempt Islam from tax-exemption then?

You might also want to consider using sheeps, informations, foots and tooths while you're at it.
This is rediculous...British ingenuity did away with the mile long extension cord years ago. We now have a cordless extension cord to do the job.

...and how about a polaroid?

Wtf? Clicky pointy and autocomplete and facebook/twitter/tumblr updates ARE work you insensitive clod.
Well DUH, they aren't trying to stop piracy.
