Imagine not growing old, ever, and then contemplate the fact that you can experience all possible experiences for an infinite number of times, it might take a while, but after some time you'll wish you died (the kicker would be off course if at this point you no longer can), the mind grows numb with boredom.
You have a coin. You see it's heads up and then you turn it and see it's tails up. Now you choose to turn it again, because humans make such unaccountable decisions, and you're either disappointed to see the same side again, or you reflect over the coin with the knowledge of what's on its other side. Small children seem to never tire of hearing the same story over and over again, and old people never tire of telling it. Do you think someone has ever learned to juggle on their first try, to never do it again out of boredom? It's not THE mind that you're talking about but only your own, and quite honestly I think you're spoiled with easy answers and the instant satisfaction guaranteed by the consumer culture.
Why would I vote for someone who has only planned to live another 30 years? Do you think it's fair to rape nature with the easy exit plan of death? Where in your hysteric hallucination (a nightmare) did you decide that a body that doesn't age is immune to a violent death?
You will have your death, you can't avoid that, but you're better off not knowing anything about when it's going to be.
I proposed the same idea while visiting CERN with a student group when I was 17. My reasoning involved the anthropic principle, since the time between big crunches and big bangs could approach infinity. I was told me my idea was as good as theirs'.
Now I think that space may be infinite and that vacuum may fluctuate in places with no matter to such a degree that time slows down from the presence of so much mass. My generalization is that if stuff isn't expressively disallowed, they are true and there is a real world example of it.
- Some additional propulsion systems aside from the jetpack. Like catapult platforms to send the entire team on its way in one go, and spring-loaded legs to the powered suits so you can bunny-jump. - Destructible environment. No impenetrable barriers. - Themed fantasy landscapes. Giant cave systems and trees a mile high. - Wings for controlled flight.
It's a bit of the departure from the original... But would you say no to jet-powered flying squirrel battles in a forest canopy?
Since we're already being pedantic... and all good science takes it to the max...
What if the decay-rate inconsistency observed in the previous results is the more sensitive measurement of neutrino flux? Then this would be like saying that a measurement of 1cm doesn't exist because you used a ruler with inches.

Hire people like [me]...... Let the cyberwarfare begin.
You don't seem to realize you're warmongering for profit.
You expect consultant fees to install a firewall for small and medium business. What's needed as not to build a new, bloated military industrial circus is someone who does your job for peanuts. (I know how to do that in scale. Hire me instead.)
But that's back to 'face' again. It's not just the über-liberal's face but face in general. First impressions have a huge impact on attitudes for a long time to come, as do tokens such as taking off your sun glasses to speak to someone, taking off your glove to shake hands, not looking at at your watch or yawning when at a social gathering, taking the last treat from the tray and telling the cook it's because they're just that good... This stuff isn't 'little'. When one white guy brings a black guy to a pub with the rest of his friends, for a moment no matter what no one in that group is racist. If there is an undecided in the group, he switches his opinion in line with that of his friends because the issue has been clearly brought on the table and no one wants to ruin the mood with touchy politics. Even if the black guy is the last Black Panther he's wise to go along with this because he's being an ambassador of tolerance with just the way he happens to look.
It's an auspicious thing that foreigners are treated as valuable business assets in China rather than white devils there to take their riches. That money exchanges hands to this effect makes it official. It's akin to prostitution, but I hear that for a lot of people a night with a prostitute will do what years of therapy won't accomplish. Businessmen in the west will hire an escort to do marketing their own talents aren't suited for. It's not deception, it's distraction so that irrelevant things don't interfere with business.
Ideally it's not the job of the IT guys but that of a trained and outsourced security officer. A large security company has all the routine and resources to maintain this operation, and a reputation to uphold. Plus the guards are actually very unlikely to go rogue, to comment on what they have seen, or to be the worst culprits themselves.
You can have the regular IT crew keep an eye the security staff if you feel the need.

3: Unsticking the cargo if it gets jammed somewhere.
A man with a van and a turbo-pump shows up.
There are a number of basic logistical concerns.
The bet is $15 million that they can solve what a slashdotter can't in one post.
Wouldn't polarized filters do the trick?

I get to write a shopping list too!

Geek gossip at its best. Thank you Slashdot.
Q: How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life?
A: I tell other people on basis of impulse. Garbage in, but seldom garbage out.
A rarity. Thanks.
In any case why not just use the fucking stove.
You must be new here.
So essentially we're hardwired for animism. I'm so glad we've finally settled that question.
No those are just the tank crews and apache gunners.

tl;dr - OR IS IT??
The Euro has already been proven to be a failure, and will be gone within 10 years.
lol... ROTFLOL
Haha, okay. Seriously, time you stop typing.
...don't bring sharp objects into airports...
But... but where do I put my MIND?
Popularity is about marketing, not about merit. I suspect Gartner knows all about marketing.
My irony meter is pegged.

Didn't mean to come off so jaded. I actually do believe in the finer things.

Dunno if this precious cargo is coming or going, but those padlocks sure look heavy duty.
When you hire a merc it's no longer anarchy.
