The US army seems to not be on the field of battle right now. Obama is sending signals that he will not use ground forces outside a few discrete surgical strikes. It's mostly an air war.
What a lot of these people believe, and this goes back to the 12'er sort of reasoning is that major battles will happen in historic religious places (as their interpretations of religious texts indicate). All the beheading and so on is to try to lure a large army into battle in these places. This threat on a mall is to lure the US army or the "Armies or Rome" into battles in these places that will supposedly cause someone to reenter the fray and start Armageddon.
A crypto currency would be like buying gold to hedge against the inevitable inflation or devaluation of the currency. It wouldn't be a matter of printing more, it would be a matter of will this dollar still buy a dollars worth of something if the value is cut in half. But with a crypto currency, the initial scarcity could be negated if there was a one time creation of enough currency to cover the expected load and the key would be destroyed (or useless) and unlike investing in gold to hedge the value, it wouldn't temporarily increase demand and costs initially. I'm guessing that instead of creating a new currency, they would just create an exchange with the help of other exchanges.
So during and after the fallout, some currency could be exchanged back into whatever dollar system is in place as needed and it would be at the exchange rate in comparison to a more stable dollar (like the euro or USD) instead of holding a dollar that is worth only 25 percent of it's value 10 or even 2 years ago. OF course this will make purchasing more crypto currency units more expensive as you would need to spend 4 times as much but it would lessen the shock of whatever is to come. And on another note, if the finance minister adopted and used a specific crypto currency through their exchange, they would also have records of who can be taxed and perhaps those records would be more complete than what they have now (I hear tax avoidance in Greece is rampant).
Exactly. It's the open hostilities to neighboring countries and support for or actually participating in terrorism and terrorist activities that keep the sanctions in place.
He probably doesn't knoe that google and bing filter porn out of their results. But those are not the only way people search for things. They often use the built in search function in the browser and crap riding on other installs changes who provides those results all the time.
Porn likely isn't the problem even if addicted. Its kids learning that its ok to tie a woman up and shove things into places they do not normally see. Its in little sally seeing that its normal for school girls to have sex with old men when before anyone notices she is at the age someone should be having the talk with her.
Its about exposure, often by mistake (looking for sometjing else or followkng a link) before the parent or child is able to deal with it or even understand the situations.
When i lock down a network via DNS, i also block the dns port at the router andbusually eiyher require a connection to a proxy or on site DNS for any traffic that leaves the network.
Now when i do it, its generally a small business concerned about data theft and has had issues with trojans or some malware in the past. All this can be done with cheap linux server as the router/gateway or even with most of the open source ots router fitmware replacements. I have not had to set ul wifi with one of the oss firmwares jn years but i found it easier to just connect an accesd point as a bridge after the rrvice rather than using the drbice wifi. Maybe things have changed since them though. But simply changing the DNS of the browser would get you an error page.
In another note, i relly on little more than the safe search filters in the search engines for my kids. I'll deal withnit if they start looking for inappropriate content when ut happens. Just don't want it offered to them when searching for their favorite singer or something for school. There are for instance several ways you can fat finger tribalism in a search box and get some very wonderfull results. (Tribadism)
It is true that not everybodynis a good parent. Or at least not as good as some think they need to be. But are those poorly skilled parents really the ones seeking this type of advicr and if they are, wouldn't it something like the crutch that helps someone walk? I mean couldn't aid in them becoming a good parent?
Nah.. it has nothing to do with them being cowardous. There are a sect of people that think kids should be exposed to sex and be permiscuous for whatever reason. Its probably so they can maintain a hope of getting laid at some point in their lives. This is more obvious when the discusson turns to the legal age of concent or abstinance but the m.o. is typically the same- hurl insults and slander until the person is afraid to ask the question openly anymore which reduces their ability to find answers.
In real life, parents should not be hovering over their kids 24/7. In order for that to be possible, they should be able to expect that junior can sit at the computer and look up something for school and not get links to goatz or tubgirl or whatever (2 girls one cup) because some troll thought it would be funny to link it under watching a cat dance or something stupid that children would easily get distracted by. They should be confident that when sally is looking up how to make beaded jewlery for frendship bracelets, she does not end up finding anal beads in action. And no parrent wants to be the one helping them while hovering and have it happen.
The alternative to censoring your kids connection is to censor everyones which is the wrong approach. Kids need a certain amount of freedom else they will not learn to make decision that have consequenses. Parents should be able to gain the tools to allow this to happen without over exposure jihad jerry and his death to america rambling.
Indeed it does. Just like the claims that nothing is peer reviewed in journals and whatever else you just rambled on about discredits the actual science without touching the science because you do not want to agree with the results has real world consequences.
The science will speak for itself. Character assasination to discredit science is not science at all. In fact, it makes it appear as if there is something to hide.
Science works by being able to validate and invalidate claims by redoing experiments and examining the data and results. Its the process that allows progress to happen.
Are we really having such a dificult time with his science that it can only be debunked by claims that have nothing to do with the science but financial gains the science might have brought someone?
Where does this stop? I mean is some of Einsteins work invalid because corporate interests that benifited from his work might have paid for his dinner or something at some point in time? Or is it just the political manipulations rather than science involved?
It would be evidence that their use causes accidents.
The cameras on thier own, probably not, as implemented by shortening the yellow lights, yep. And I do not think we can separate the cameras and the shortening of the light because the shortening seem to be only due to the cameras in place.
Marx will cough and gasp for air as he tries to laugh last.
The problem is not democracy, capitalism, or consumerism. It is as the article points out in a round about way, the lack of wealth and value created with the process. It's where new supply outstrips demand- value is not brought about. This is more akin to Marx' style where things are done because you were told to, not because there is demand.
I certainly would not give odds on it. Hindsight was how i read it the first several times before realizing there wasn't enough letters. I bet it was similar for you too.
That being said, i hope canonical doesn't follow suit with a couple other distros and change their focus to predominately their corporate offerings. Mandriva did that and now i cannot remember the names of the forks and don't have time to test them anyways. RedHat started down that path but seems to have put the brakes on before it caused too much damage. Maybe i'm too sensitive on the subject.
I was wondering abput this myself. Keep in mind, the tax value of the property might not have been as high before the data center was built either.
But Oregon and the counties in it also tax business income in the state. The state is like 6.7% on the first $10 mil and some higher number after that. So lets guess that the property tax was half as much and the data center pays $5000k in income taxes a year. Is it worth it considering a likely or possible alternative of less than $400k a year without it?
And keep in mind, i have no clue on the previous tax revenue. I'm just asking if the extra in other taxes with the business makes it worth it or not.
They have been laminating other materials for years now and it makes them stronger. I'm not sure exactly what here is supposed to do it though. But take a bow and arrow for instance. They can take two or even three different types of wood laminated together and get 100lbs pull weight or more but each individual wood would either snap or be too flexible and not have as much power by itself.
I imagine it is somewhat along the same lines as that or even how some japanese swords use two types of metal to increase its strenght. Its likely not new except for the process.
Basically, it means leg the master answer. If an employee or someone at your direction, violates or commits a tortious act, you can be just as responsible.
The US embargo was the US and US companies only. Other countries ignored it Cubans went to other countries to become educated and Cuba imported educators as well. That being said, only a small portion of the population will have access to computers. It will not be like other countries but possabilities beyond ancient soviet tech will exist.
And if we're going to be pedantic, smoking wont give you crabs or the clap either. It's still a bad comparison for plenty of other reasons.
None of the reasons important enough for you to list I see. And no, no one was being pedantic, facts are simply facts which when ignored makes what was said look fictitious at best and outright purposely misleading at worst.
There's a vaccine for HPV. There isn't one for lung cancer.
Sure, and it's a recent creation which no long term studies have been made because it's approval for use in humans has not yet met the time span of one generation or the time span thought to be associated between HPV and Cervical Cancer. And until those facts are in and understood, making claims that you cannot get cancer from the Human Papillomavirus Virus is about as accurate as a witch doctor declaring that you specifically will not get cancer from smoking. The data simply isn't in and unless someone knows something will cut your life short, the claims simply cannot be made.
The only way to get HPV or AIDS via sex is to....have sex with someone that already has HPV or AIDS. Cigarettes will give you cancer all by themselves.
Well, no. You can get both outside of having sex or even sexual relationships with anyone. They are most commonly transmitted during sex though.
You can have unprotected sex without fear of infection if you and your partner get tested for STD's. There is no "test" that will let you smoke without risking cancer.
You can jump out of an airplane without fear if you wear a parachute too. It doesn't mean that people who do so are not seriously injured or killed in doing so. And some tests for STDs, Here is some reading for you on this.
It seems the knowledge you have about this is as accurate as the phone number for a good time on the bathroom wall.
Humans have an inborn desire to fuck. They don't have an inborn desire to smoke cigarettes.
That is until they get addicted. And yes, inborn is a proper term for the addiction because the chemical actors interfere with chemistry in the brain making smoking and pretty much other addictions necessary to return to the proper balance they naturally want to reach. That is why quitting is so difficult for some people.
Sex isn't a product (unless you buy one of those Japanese robots, but robots wont give you AIDS) and can't be taxed, as it's something you could go out and start doing with your neighbor 30 seconds after reading this. Cigarettes are a product that are purchased in stores, and that makes them taxable.
Actually, sex most certainly can be taxed. It's just a matter of what levels of intrusion you are willing to allow the government to have. Certain types of sex were even outlawed and people were sent to jail for it in the past.
So, yeah: false equivalence.
Only if you are ignorant and want to remain that way.
Umm.. unprotected sex can get you cancer in 30 years. HPV or genital warts are highly associated with cancer.
The rates for smoking induced cancer is actually low per smoker. It only appears high when you compare the number of cancer patients who have a smoking history. Those are not the same thing either.
They are communist over in China, they won't eat dirt, the government will find something to provide for them.
BTW, more jobs usually are better. But there are degrees of better. For instance, jobs in the country the headquarters is located and designing the things would be better for those people in that country. More jobs in whatever country you are in would be better for you and/or your fellow citizens. More jobs in some countries make it more stable and thereby reducing the threats of war which is better of yet a lot of other people.
But I guess the better better thing is butter because everything is better with butter.
There are companies beside Nest/gogle. Honeywell makes a nice programmable wifi connected thermostat that can do most of that. I'm not sure what companies sent data where is any because I simply have not looked into it.
As for the fridge, well to each their own I guess. But just like you are a mac fan, there are windows and linux fans. Others might find it useful, they might not even mind the data being shared with companies. It's just the possibilities of things. Who know, you might find something useful one of these days (like when the kids take the milk out of the fridge and do not put it back in). There may even be more advanced solutions like monitoring the last roll of toilet paper and letting you know to get more before it's gone. Making life easier should be the goal.
Well, you brought up some interesting points. Like your thermostat monitoring your adjustment habits and automatically adjusting the temp for when you are away and home or normally turn it up/down, by displaying usage statistics along side your electric and gas usage and telling your water heater tank to not bother keeping the stock hot over the next 5 or 6 hours because you will be gone for the next 7 hours. Of course you should be able to still press buttons and turn nobs to override it, but you should also be able to sit at a web panel and adjust it too.
Your fridge, Your right, open it by hand. But let read a QR code when you put milk and eggs in or something that is perishable then have it remind you if something if at the expiration date or if you are low so you can stop and grab more or even create a shopping list for you. You should be able to pull a screen up on your phone or web panel and monitor it or perhaps it sends you a reminder at the end of the work day or something.
Don't think of it as fixing any problem, think of it as making saving money easier and general life more convenient. It doesn't need to be a solution. It's more like an enhancement I guess.
