Well, that's no problems as it makes is a mutual repulsion society. That form of advertising earned Washington post a complete script and cookie block https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... from me, and if the page shows up blank from now on that's no problem for me. Now if script blocker https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... would only add notes that show up for a blocked script so you can remember why you blocked it. I also target advertising companies that are complicit in marketing stupidity and kill their scripts from there on in.
If you adds are not offensive, or false, or too in your face, or bloody quite you survive, I don't mind however in you break those rules I will break your site by killing your scripts and cookies, NO COOKIES FOR YOU or for those who assist you in your malignant advertising.
The problem with current reactor design is it is all based about getting huge amounts of power out in a short time, resulting in very high complexity and refuelling complications. This instead of pulsing the reaction and working to trickle the power out over the long term and avoiding refuelling and simplifying the design, many low output reactors rather than a few high output reactors.
No way 85 is lovely weather even with humidity, still goof for a stroll, now when it cracks 110, that's hot. You can even tell whether or not it is humid at 110, a cold drink of what ever description is delightful and a short stroll at that temperature really does make you appreciate of air conditioning. Of course when it comes to grocery shopping and walk ability you have completely the wrong idea, no weekly shopping trip, instead daily shopping trips, buying today what you will be cooking and eating today and tomorrow and regularly replacing what you have run out of. In fact near enough and far enough become desirable, near enough to walk, far enough to achieve exercise (that is subject to dwelling style house versus apartment).
There is your biggest problem right there, "LAW ENFORCEMENT". You keep letting that term slide through and your problems will only continue to get worse. They are not law enforcement, their duty is not to force the law, they are not the courts, the place where judge and jury enforce the law upon those that they have proven to have broken it. Police Officer are there to assist the public in upholding the law. When a police officer 'believes' a member of the public has broken the law, they arrest them and arraign them for trial. Where the claim is substantiated and the court enforces the law and applies a penalty.
What you have now is something wildly out of control, where Law Enforcement officers enforce contempt of cop laws by brutalising them or publicly executing them on the spot. What change then start by publicly banning and legislating against the term 'Law Enforcement' because that term direct implies the role of police, judge, jury, execution and is in fact contrary to constitutional laws and is a gross and huge over reach.
It is not just about work, it is about work, live and play. Creating a community where every service required is in pedestrian access. Where everything required can be delivered by push cart. Where you can walk to go out, to work, to hospital, to the theatre, to a restaurant, to all required government services. Your work office could be within your apartment but some duties but people will still want to get out and about and interact with other people.
The more you automate the system, the more you rely on digital technology, the more vulnerable you become. That extreme vulnerability is not to viruses or hacking or anything so complicated. The extreme vulnerability is to something as simple as electromagnetic pulses. Think about it, setting them off, not only disrupts everything about you but is also shuts down all pursuit of you. They can no longer respond, can no longer coordinate, can not longer pursue and in fact they are their stuck waiting, twiddling their thumbs, totally dependent on their devices, idle until repairs are made. Now of course hook one diesel generator that pauses generating between pulses and you could create an exclusion to electronic devices zone until it is manual found and shut down, the more powerful the device the harder to find.
Unequally distributed in different races is a fallacy. The correct statement is that Intelligence is unequally distributed in different societies. Obviously societies which promote and support intellectual pursuits and research will score higher intellectually then societies that promote and support jock strap douche bags chasing their balls and their bouncing bobbies cheer leaders.
Here is what really happened. Instruction come down from the highest level political appointee to basically approve everything unless it has already been patented. This instruction was lobbied for by patent lawyers to ensure the generation of many, many, patent trials. Now the examiners when given this instruction simply complied and as the felt the process how already been corrupted, decided to align with that corruption and allocate the same amount of time to a partial patent check, just to see if some idea has been patented yet to a full and proper check, see if the idea is already being applied publicly, check to make sure it is actually new and novel etc.. So the patent clerks became as corrupt as the US patent process, basically patent everything and let US lawyers sort it out in US courts. So rounded corners it is and I bet that patent clerk spent days checking for the newness and novelty of rounded corners uh huh.
B$. Psychopathic greed means getting as much in this quarter as possible, inflating the value of the company, inflating executive salaries to match and cashing in stock option while they are worth something and collecting a golden parachute when it all blows up. That is the modern norm, they don't give a crap about how many they bankrupt, how many lives are ruined, how much harm is caused or how many they kill. More money and power now, right now and screw the consequences and every one else.
They have corrupted the laws to ensure they can get away with it, they can hide behind layers of corporation to avoid prosecution. In cases like the all assets should be seized and those responsible should spend the rest of their lives in prison.
I would go to chemists and molecular engineers. If you consider the lake sufficiently toxic that you can not allow time to resolve all issues and draining the lack and digging out the toxic lake bed and disposing of it is too expensive, then review the toxic chemicals and see what stable harmless molecules they can be converted into by apply other less harmful chemicals in saturation that nature over time can bind up. Ecologists are just going to tell you don't do it, for good reason. Large earth moving contractors of course will tell exactly how expensive it really is to clean up toxic waste spills 'properly'. You sort of have to suck it up. In being stupid enough as a community to allow it to happen, you have basically initiated a large scale chemistry experiment, how you deal with it becomes trial and error until it is resolved or you have spent all the money available to fix it with out actually fixing it.
Realistic answer is move and move far enough away that you reach a community that is smart enough to prevent it happening.
So the real question who is the smartest at what? The what being the particular goals or problems you wish resolved. So an idiot savant is the ideal solution as long as the savant skill is the skill you require to solve the problem. IQ ideally measure learning ability across a range of mental skills, now if that is the solution you are looking for fine, however if it is not then you are wasting your time. The is also desire, mental feedback, those good brain chemicals that will promote focus upon a particular range of activities, those activities being the ones you require.
So a break down of a range of mental faculties required for particular requirements, aligned tests with those requirements and measuring of brain chemical changes when carrying out those particular activities to ensure extended focus. So a range of tools, rather than one.
It could really happen in part at least. If MSN were to be split out of M$ then MSN could pursue the coolness of FOSS as part of a marketing drive to more effectively and directly challenge Google. There is no reason a separate and independent MSN should stick with windows and office product and instead pursue service and support of FOSS products and of course us it internally in order to promote it's skills and coolness eternally.
When the government pushes particular products, the education is forced to follow suit and industry then complies. So not isolationist at all but setting the pace. This will end up proving problematic for both M$ and Apple as it spreads throughout the China supply and procurement channel and inevitably influences the export channel. M$ has lots of other directions to go in but Apple is a marketing company pushing an overpriced fashion fad, this sort of thing can have a real impact on that 'marketing cache' that illusion that dramatically props up their profit margins.
Considering how corrupt some of the privatisation was, with corrupt oligarchs colluding with western finance organisation to basically steal assets, this is more akin to repossession of stolen property. Privatisation has been pretty crooked across the globe with the only real winners being the corrupt banks that financed the mass media propaganda and the lobbyists as well as the off shore tax haven bribes. The illusion is 'private property', the reality is society allows individuals to control property for the benefit of that society, not some insane psychopathic scheme where a tiny minority own all the assets of the society in order to ruthlessly exploit the rest of that society, basically the rebirth of feudalism.
The more likely the reality. The desired project aim to break even and generate billions in free advertising and brand promotion. Investment is limited by, higher the investment the greater the risk of negative returns and insufficient brand promotion and free advertising.
Google should consider the mega structure, takes years of development, which will keep it in the advertising cycle and takes years to build. Investment can be readily sought to pay for residential units to reduce capital risk. The Google city within a building, an arcology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A..., the height? of modern technological living, incorporating all the elements of life within a single structure including energy generation, waste recycling, modern aquaponics, energy efficiency and, advanced residential design and amenability. A place to work, live and play in the 21st century (you can pull a huge amount of long term free advertising out of that).
Problems with the test, the subjects desire to win to successfully complete the transaction might have led to the fair offers, rather than a desire to be fair. Testosterone might well be a much trickier hormone and a single shot is very unlikely to bring out it's full consequences. Sustained high levels which generate physiological changes to brain and body and nowhere near the same as one hit. So aggression from one shot no, however indications are that sustained high levels do significantly alter aggression levels to extremes of behaviour. Something that can not be tested due to risk however something that can be statistically analysed due to abuse within in certain sectors of activities including police and defence forces, as well as recreational body builders. Then again of course, that desire to be more muscular to be physically superior than competitors to the point of drug abuse and extremes of repetitive actions might well indicate an existing problem exacerbated by testosterone abuse.
One not on the test, what were the testosterone levels of the individuals prior to administration of the test.
You seemed to have confused the law with privacy. It is not privacy they are protecting, they are simply adhering to constitutional law on other countries. So companies are stuck, either adhere to the two laws and where they conflict simply leave operations in the conflicting country or face prosecution and penalties, plus loose all local trust making being kicked out of the country for purposefully breaking laws seem rather the same penalty.
On a specialised transport, it is not really that much of a worry. The real worry is the unknown passenger on a public flight and sharing that infection with other people who come into immediate contact with the same surfaces as the infected person. Then spreading via other transport connections at the destination airport. Direct contact also includes touching the same surfaces, such as handrails, immediately after the infected touch that surface and leave residue behind.
So the question is when linking commercial flights will be shut down, passenger and transport. Including bus, rail and sea links to airports in surrounding countries. You really don't want to play games with mutation and viral evolution and a more contagious variety escaping the contagion zone, which really is down to nothing more than probability, time and numbers of infected.
Now why does that remind me so much of a typical ponzi scheme. Of course the other big selling points are the facilitation of tax evasion and payments associated with organised crime. Of course that association crime has already resulted in massive thefts, strange that;D.
Voting at it's core is about people participating in their government, as such voting should be about the people not just about the votes. So work to make it more of a social activity.
Make sure voting occurs on the weekend. Get anyone running for the election to provide volunteers to help run election booths and do the vote counting this of course in conjunction with paid neutral electoral officers. Incorporate charity bake sales, cookie sales, sausage sizzles etc. at electoral booths as part of the social voting experience. Promote and drive the social experience of voting, do the counting at larger social venues tied in with social night out.
The big change of course need to occur prior to the vote, work to require compulsory testing of all those seeking election, testing for IQ, knowledge, psychology and of course compulsory psychopathy testing. Test results should not exclude people from running for election but the electorate have a right to know some real facts about their potential representatives and not have it all just be about who can tell the most convincing lies.
You live in the world of WTO illusion. Primary resources rich country can pretty much chug along on their own as long as they are patient with catching up. This attitude always leads to outside intervention either through disrupting and fomenting revolution or through direct invasion. The idea being to drive them to borrow illusory capital to buy in mass consumerism products and drive debt in order to strip mine the countries primary resources. Russia is quite simply to powerful to do this hence some constant harassment and prodding is required to drive reaction and then the propaganda campaign can commence.
Don't want to the hassle with data simply point your.ru address to servers in other countries, although it would likely be wise to avoid US servers and servers in other countries controlled by the US.
Why are the Russian getting so uptight about social media servers, easy, the US is right into corrupting social media servers in order to forment social unrest, hence the Russians are hard at work attempting to track that activity down and block it as well as tracking down and deporting US agents. The NSA has a pretty big head start by basically hacking the whole world and the whole world now needing to work hard clean that shit out.
Russia would be better off working on a fairly nasty counter attacking national honey pot network and a massive database flooding and contaminating misinformation campaign, lots and lots of contaminated data, going all over the place, creating false data and data association, massive amounts of it, the idea being to flood the NSA/CIA databases and create false relationships. Tie in some real world actions like minor bank deposits et al and they'll end up chasing reds in everyones beds.
Best defence is a good offence and it is far better than harassing your own population.
For the obligatory car analogy. Are you or are you anonymous in a vehicle. They most certainly have the name of the registered owner and access to that is restricted to the police and applicable government authorities. However the name and via search extension address and telephone number of the driver and passengers is not readily accessible.
How many jock strap douche bags offended by a post would visit the home of the commenter and attempt to beat the crap out of any one there. How many drunks would over react with access to name, address and contact details. How many child would came under threat with the name and address published. How many employers would over react at employees posting especially if employees were telling the truth about employers products.
The relationship of employers and employees isn't that always in reality the reason will right wing control freaks seek to end anonymity online, the ability of employers to control the postings of employees and their families online, not only censoring them but forcing them to make positive comments about the employers products.
Don't forget don't read books doesn't equate with not reading. My phone has a bunch of public domain books and I still have hundreds of paper backs and text books that I just can't seem to part with but I am just not buying any more books. The whole idea of books being shipped about the place, stored in warehouses and held on retail shelves seems wrong in today's age. Localised production seems to still have a place, you enter a shop front and they print and bind the book for you while you wait or order it online with local delivery. I don't stop to read books in the dead tree variety more because I don't have the time with other activities consuming all mine spare time and none left to lose myself in a paper back and when it comes to manuals et al I prefer to multi-task access them online.
Sorry, but I have to side with the planet. Dead trees, energy waste and pollution all point to ebooks being preferable to the printed variety. The authors earn less and many would only be able to indulge their hobby part time, whilst working at another career, is just a normal part of social change. I'll have to admit to not having read a book for quite a long time, much preferring the interactivity of the internet and even computer games. Something like slashdot makes for a better read than a passive book and it contains as much non-fiction as any typical paperback;D.
