The detection of an atomic bomb throws off a unique signature not found in nature. It's like a power beacon of energy that's a universal sign of intelligence. The kind of signature not normally found in nature. Detect those, and you've got your alien race.
Oh, but you DO believe in moral relativism. You are the poster child for moral relativism. For example, torture: okay, or not okay? Or is it... relative? I know you think it is relative, meaning, okay when done for the right reasons, by the right people, and wrong when done for the wrong reasons, or by the wrong people.
A moral relativism basically states that everyone has a valid POV in their actions. I do not. Further more, I don't care why someone else is justified in what they do. I'm the antithesis of moral relativism. If I see someone being wronged, I call them out on it. I base my actions on the preservation of life. But sacrifices must be made when applicable, but believe such situations should be prevented from occurring in the first place. But if one individual must be wronged to protect a million other individuals, I will take action on the lesser evil. If I was being morally relativistic, I would be against the ends justifying the means...because they have right to their actions as well. Or so someone would say, but not me.
Case in point. A bomb is about to blow up in 5 minutes in a building. The only person who has the code to disarm it available to you. Do you A: torture him for the answer and save thousands of lives? or B: Don't torture him knowing that thousands more will die because of your inaction to do something about it?
No, I don't believe in moral relativism. And yes, I've put my life on the line to stop attempted murder. And no, it's none of your business as to the details of said event.
I agree. We should at least know of the POW status to be sure process is being rendered accordingly. But please, don't speak to be about moral high ground. You can't claim the same either when you stand there and do nothing to stop evil men from doing evil deeds.
But it should be noted that members of Al Queda do not qualify for protection under the Geneva Convention as their status does not meet the requirements.
It's real simple. If you're an American citizen, then you have a right to a quick and fair trial. But if you are not, and deemed to be a POW, why should they be protected? If you want to argue basic human rights, that's one thing, but we're talking about the US constitution here. And correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked, foreign POWs do not have constitutional rights.
Ok, like everyone else, I too have got opinions on the judgement of this release. But the real important question is this. Just how many moles or rogue agents do we have in the US? What's next? Release of ICBM and warhead technical documents? Our top secret fighter jet technology? Fuck, just call the USA the great "Pinata". If you beat on us enough times, we'll spill all the goods for everyone else to pick up. Hey, maybe even China can do something with it. Good luck fucking with them!
I'm willing to bet 99% of the Credit Card accounts on file with these businesses are from customers. If the look hard enough, they may find the corporate AMEX card.
I thought all business that deal with CC transactions must be within a secured network. In fact, there's even PCI guidelines on recommended settings to secure your WiFi access points. Unless business are using WPA/WPA2, shouldn't they be busted for not adhering to PCI security protocol? I've included a link to a PDF below for anyone interested.
I think a couple of thermonuclear warheads might break the ice a little. It might even raise the atmospheric pressure by a considerable amount, and thus raise the temperature. As for the fallout? Meh, it might not be that bad depending on the decay rate and how efficient the bombs are.
He's wrong about Cloud not being able to work. But I think I understand his POV. If I'm right, he's basically saying what I've stated. That is to say, Cloud computing is a business solution based idea with the word coined for a marketing purpose. However, Cloud computing is not required to use any specific paradigm to achieve that goal. Grid computing is such a paradigm, and I believe it to be the proper one to use for Cloud computing.
Cloud Computing generally implies redundancy and non-locality 24/7. Computer hardware that makes up the cloud would normally be provisioned to acts as a resource and not a point of failure for the entire infrastructure. The idea with Cloud Computing is that the Cloud is an organ while the hardware acts as cells. A few could die off and/or be replaced without any disruption to the user.
Unfortunately, everyone has their own idea and implementation to creating Cloud based content and services. So we end up with a lot of bullshit marketing and thus rendering the entire concept to nothing better than a buzzword. Do you feel like trusting it now?
Just wait till the aftermarket Dual, Tri, and Quad beam plugs get advertised. More laser = better spark!!! At some point, there will be an office meeting where the phrase is uttered "fuck everything, we're doing five laser plugs. We'll market it as the "Pentizer""!
Last I checked, Christians and Jews weren't the ones sending their children off with BOMBS strapped to their chest. Only when the mission has been successful, the mothers weep with pride and joy among their community as to what a great little martyr he became. Fucking savages!!!

Spun, you suffer from psychological projection. FYI

The Constitution is not a suicide pact. Look it up. Those that wish to destroy America do not deserve its protection.
Meh, I'm used to it. I've got thick skin.
Maybe. Or maybe because the cost of fighting it in court with attorney fees would offset the losses in theft.
You're opinion. Let us be clear on that.

And yet these pussies won't go after the REAL threats. Trying going after MS 13 you cowards!

10x stronger than steel in what aspect? Malleability, ductilibility, toughness, or all the above?

NASCAR is anything *but* stock car racing today. It lost its roots a long-ass time ago IMHO.
But it won't be a Cheshire cat once you open the box. Just ask Alice.
You want to shred entire HDDs? Go ask the engineers over at SSI to build you one.
