I feel like you haven't thought this through. The problem isn't you doing it. Because if the fed's knock on your door and say, "GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON YOU WERE LOOKING AT THIS VIRUS!". You can say, it is my job. Conversation over. But, if I did it, because I find them interesting, _I_ have no legitimate reason to, so I'm a potential terrorist.
I don't think that is entirely true. IIRC, a bunch of countries in europe offered to basically match the US in taking some. But congress NIMBY feelings meant no one took any of them.
I don't understand it but clearly there is a market for wasting time and money to print at home.
Lets talk about it then. The resources you want to minize use of are "cost" and "time". It is faster to print a photo on my home printer than drive to a store, and pay them to do it unless I'm printing a lot. If I'm printing more than say 20 pictures, or picures of all different sizes, then it takes longer because of my paper feeder. Typically though I only want to print one or two of a picture to put in a picture frame or give to friends and family
But lets also talk cost. It's about 10c per picture in paper and another bit for the ink. That is about the same as my local shop depening on deals because their prices fluxuate and by bulk. I pretty much call it a draw there unless you catch them on a deal and buy in bulk.
I do not believe cell phone would work at all at that height and speed typically.
Cellphone towers are designed to emit a beam pattern that looks roughly like a system of slivers forming a donut [in the horizontal plane]. If you aren't directly in that beam for a long enough period of time to negotiate a connection, then it won't work. In cities, cell towers would be denser and each tower would have less power to increate the amount of users possible on the system. While in the countryside, there would be fewer towers at higher power, but less places for the signal to bounce up and intersect a speeding plane.
A lot of posts here are complaining/discussing the downfalls of private funding. I don't care- As long as (1) We don't stop _also_ publicly funding pie-in-the-sky scientific research and (2) it is still science. Verifiable and reproducible science.
That is, why can't we just have both? I'm happy that Bill Gates, in his old age, is throwing shit-fuck-tons of money at things he believes to be a problem. Fantastic!
Linux distros have this for sudo actions. They also have a button that terminates the privileged timing window early in the gui, and for cli it is something like:
I think one of the few things that could drive a comcast customer away would be not being able to use netflix/hulu/facebook. It doesn't even matter if there isn't competition if there is no need for the service anymore in the first place.
I think what he's getting at is that women can be worse than men at judging other women. Effectively being MORE sexist in some effort to make sure only women who will make her proud can pass muster.
Personally, I'm [sub-consciously] nicer to pretty girls above a certain intelligence and meaner to pretty girls below a certain intelligence and have to consciously correct for it in the work place.
That isn't a hard problem to solve because of the proportionality. If say one person can look into a different person every couple weeks. That means for every say 25 people we need a watcher. So @ 3.5million cleared people we'd need 140,000 watchers, 5,600 watchers of those watchers (or level 2 watchers), 224 level 3s, 9 level 4s, and 1 level 5.
this logarithmically increasing overhead seems manageable.
Except for, if you think about it more than your knee can jerk, you'd realize that your argument is invalid here.
Your biggest concern with the monsanto seed bank is it's mono-lineage and so we have less diversity. That is the opposite of a problem in the world with respect to the human gene pool.
There is a lot of a handwaving in your post. I encourage you to do some more reasearch on just how much medical costs are.
Before you say the medicines are cheap to manufacture, I think you should look into how we don't have enough anti-biotics, and that outsourcing our drug manufacturing to china/india to make it cheaper is killing people (see haparin).

I think davester666 knew that. But, then again, he is the devil...

Interesting link. wow, the truth is almost more intense than the fictuion..
It is also more explosive.
haha, true, but you have to start somewhere right? And in the united states, most of that is 18. With, of course, a bunch of exceptions.
the Submitter might actually want to learn something though

That makes it about the time.
I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb here to say: On /., you are shouting in an echo chamber.
The bicycle stand at the Amsterdam train station is also impressive in its scale.
Haha this, and in my limited experiance, copenhagen.
No chance this AC has ever even met someone with "a family farm". Consiring he is both on /., and family farms are a dying breed in the US.

But, maybe they get luckey

Damn. True. But then again, I alwase lose at that game
+1 for peaking my curiosity.

Oh, praytell, what kind of mainstream porn would you find acceptable for me to wank to.
makes sense, but Hilarious. Kind of reminds me of that +1 standards xkcd: https://xkcd.com/927/
Just to add to this. the Definition of "Skinny" changes with the times a little, but all models are also above average tall.
