It's a legitimate question. If creating it in a lab does yield some type scientific information or even just "we created something that has never existed before (that we know of)" then that's a legitimate answer. But even after that, the next question is, what else does this mean?
You say that it can tell us interesting things about the early universe. How is that? I'm no nuclear chemist. How does creating an element that lasts all of a few hundred milliseconds at most telling us interesting things from the early universe?
Can you show me an example of a real production website that has an actual real world use where a 3rd party has created custom stylesheet(s) that completely redesigns a site's layout while still retaining complete functionality.
More likely "[TransUnion|Equifax|Experiean|Some_Subsidiary] wishes to be friends with you. Do you accept their request?" and then BofA just uses the result.
She should look on the bright side. She would not have enjoyed working in an environment that stalks her Facebook profile and makes snap judgements without explanations. This is especially true for a PT job at a supermarket.
Around here most, but not all, of the towers aren't even owned by the cell companies. They are owned by private companies and then are leased to the cell companies. While the need for the non-cellco owned tower is created by the cell phone company, they don't operate the tower, they didn't finance it, so how exactly are they responsible for it?
If you read the actual message they sent TorrentFreak, the ISP isn't as bad as the summary makes them out to be. The ISP said that TF needs to take appropriate action and need to respond back with the action taken. No where did it specifically state that the action had to be removal of the scanned letter.
The ISP isn't in and doesn't want to be in a position where they are the legal department for all their customers trying to determine if each and every notice is legitimate especially in very specific incidents like this. They just want to know that you a. received the notice and b. have taken some action regarding it. That's all they are really concerned about and all they are required to do under the DMCA.
It would be appropriate and satisfy all parties if TF responded to the ISP stating that they contacted Comcast/Cyveillance, asserted their right to use the content under fair use/public domain/whatever, and that it would not be coming down. Appropriate action would be then taken.
Under HIPPA, such video recording is not illegal. However it must be treated as protected patient information if the patient can be identified from the video. It is what happens to that video that can land the person responsible in legal hot water.
In this case they uploaded their content, but didn't contact the downloaders and say "look at this porn, it's free, go on download it, it'll be fine".
They didn't contact the downloaders personally and specifically. However if they indeed did posting the torrent on TPB and then continuing to share the content, there was an implicit permission to download it. They are, in essence, saying "look at this porn, it's free, go download it" by they themselves putting it on TPB.
For Engineering, IT, or any other kind of technical job you employer isn't going to give you notice.. and if you give them more than 1 day things will just get awkward.
So turn in your 2 week notice but be prepared for it to be a 2 minute notice. Every time that I've left one company to move on to the next one I've arranged to be able to start more or less immediately if the need arises but would prefer to start 2 weeks out as a courtesy to my existing employer.
If my existing employer decides that they don't want to continue to employ me during those 2 weeks for information security or any other reason, then that's their choice. But in making that choice, they lose the option of saying that I left them in a lurch by just walking out with no notice.
Google states their policy which follows the norm within the industry. They don't advertise one thing, then refuse to deliver when the time comes. They aren't pulling a fast one on the customer. How exactly is Google being evil? Just because Google doesn't provide a service that someone thinks that they should doesn't make them evil. It makes them a company that is trying to make money.
The gold mine is not in Kinect for games, its for the TV/Video/Music/Netflix/Hulu consumption...
Which is exactly the reason why Microsoft developed Windows Media Center and gave it away for free to everyone in Windows 7, then made it a (now paid) add on in Windows 8, and faces a very uncertain future. All because it's such a huge gold mine. Or not.
The whole HTPC area is such a mishmash of different technologies, interfaces, buggy codecs that work 100% properly with this video but not with that one. Encrypted QAM makes it harder/more expensive to get cable TV working, and if it does often it's copy once so you can only watch it back on the same TV that recorded it. All the content producers want their cake and to eat it too so limited availability on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/whatever and if it is available, you may still have to watch commercials even if you paid extra for the subscription.
My initial guess would be that a colored cap would tint or otherwise reflect whatever shade the cap was into the room. Black would reflect none. A white cap also probably would work reflecting nearly the full spectrum, but perhaps there is an issue with the light having different color temperature due to the reflection.
Walking down a stairwell and having the lights go out is hardly hyperbolic dipshittery. But rather than just look at a situation and declaring people asshats if they are concerned, have a little imagination.
What did millions of people do when they were walking down a stairwell previously and the light bulb burned out? Or someone else flipped a switch. No one apparently knows as those people were never heard from again. Or they stopped. Realize they would have to figure out how to climb some stairs carefully until they got to a spot where they could correct the situation.
No. But where they stopped because they are actually suspected of a crime? Or were they stopped because they are male and obviously are guilty of SOME crime, they just aren't sure what yet.
I presume you are not in a race where you are suspected and targeted for increased frisking not because you actually look suspicious, or because you fit the description of someone who was at the scene of a crime, but just because the color of your skin.
Seriously? What business is it of the government who a soldier is fucking, when, how and why? "Let them"? To hell with anyone who tries to tell another person what their sexual antics should be.
In general principal, I agree with you. If they were here in the United States. However they are in a foreign country, where sexual encounters between unmarried individuals is illegal and such activity has also been ordered by commanding officers not to occur.
What would your reaction be if two Afghanistan soldiers came to the United States and committed a criminal act that would have been legal in Afghanistan? Should they face justice here? Or should we turn a blind eye to it?
It's my responsibility to guess at my boss's insanities, and lie to help cover them up?
No. Your responsibility is not to guess them, but rather to actually KNOW them. And you're not lying. You're purposefully not revealing the entire truth and revealing a remotely plausible explanation.
I give blood and I know that it can be used for research.
Your comparison fails right there. You know that yor blood can be used for research because it's in the forms you sign or in the literature you read stating such. If you don't consent to it being used for research, you don't have to give.
HeLa and her family never gave permission for the cells to originally be harvested. While it may not have been customary or required at that time to ask for permission, subsequent changes to medical ethics and privacy laws have changed how the original procurement is viewed.
I think many people wouldn't mind making a donation to science in order to come up with the next medical breakthrough like the polio vaccine. Would you so willingly donate, for free, say to allow Pfizer to make billions off of a improved Viagra? Or maybe use your cells to develop a medicine that can induce an abortion (presuming you'd be against such thing). How about for a more nefarious purpose of a chemical or biological weapon that attacks at a cellular level?
Compensation also doesn't have to be in the form of money. It can be in the form of thanks. Or recognition. Or conditions about how any subsequent discoveries are made available to others.
...but the power requirements could edge into the kilowatt range for each piece of equipment.
Maybe I'm not understanding something here, but a piece of machinery operating in a kilowatt range doesn't sound too bad. I got a dual 500watt shop light that operates in the kilowatt range. I'd be more than happy to chip in a quarter or two to pay for a few kilowatt-hours of power if I get one of the first processors. Hell, I'd even do a whole $20 and power the bad boy up for an entire week non-stop for the good of the country.
If this isn't already in the current version of your spam bot, you are seriously behind the time. This technique has been used for relative ages in forum registration, blogs, etc.

Based off of a sample size of 1. Nice generalization.

But the OCR loan application form I filled out said to write in ALL CAP BLOCK LETTERS.

It only costs as much as you pay into it, if that.
Have you been to Detroit recently? Their own police union tells people to stay the hell away.

Feel free to start your own ISP and set your own policies. Until then, you're a customer and you play by someone else's rules.
