its commonly known among most gamers that microsoft did indeed had an agreement with netflix. If MS got their way the disks would never have existed, they were sort of to work around the contract with MS
you could, you know, not do this. I know, perish the thought that you don't take advantage of a hack or bug or whatever. But if the game was ruined, you could just stop doing it and enjoy the game again
he kilo prefix is derived from the Greek word ("chilioi"), meaning thousand. It was originally adopted by Antoine Lavoisier and his group in 1795, and introduced into the metric system in France with its establishment in 1799.
So while "SI" wasn't around. It was already as established standard
at that volume its more a pressure wave that anything else. No living thing will hear it as their ears (and their skulls) would have shattered before any sensation would have been registered
why does the It industry get special treatment. I thought the IT industry was one of the industries that wanted to use established standards the most for interoperability. Then you say the the IT industry want to go against the established standard for something that is really really really insignificant and you would all get used to it in about 2 months after the switch
What's the logic behind concurrent sentences. 2 concurrent 20 year sentences is for all intents and purposes the same as one 20 year sentence. SO he basically got away with one of the crimes with no punishment. If its because 40 years for these 2 crimes is too harsh, then logically 20 years is too harsh for 1 and the law needs to be changed. Can someone explain the logic to me
why do you need to identify "your" copy. There can be effectively infinite copies so identifying who owns which one is pointless.
About proving you have the rights, I thought we lived in a society where the accuser has to prove their case, not the accused. So "they" should have to prove that you don't have a licence.
just leave a pinhole in the cloak and put a camera there. then wear a hud that displays the image.
If someone looks straight at you in the right direction, they might see a tiny floating black dot. Even if they do notice it, they will most likely believe its dust or something
niiice. Imagine the g's on that thing. I looked it up and that thing does hold the land speed record for rail vehicles.
I suppose the article should specify the record to be broken is the one for vehicles running on wheels. Which the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile views as the official land speed record.
if it did thought, would you. I mean if you could grow any penis size you wanted but you had to cut your original one off to get it, would you. Bonus points if you weren't allowed anaesthesia as that affects the regrowth.
lol how can it want to fly. Its a bunch of carbon fibre and steel. It doesn't have desires. And as you said, "engineering trickery is keeping on the ground" so you admit that it will be "on the ground" so what's the problem.
If this works it will be travelling across the land with a higher speed than anything that has ever travelled across the land, hence the title "land speed record". I agree with you that the wheel powered one is in some ways more important, but something has to be declared fastest land vehicle and it seems fitting for it to be the fastest vehicle on the land. If Fred Flinstone could run fast enough to make his car faster than any other car in history, would you deny him the land speed record?
You know what. I wrote a large reply but after reading through it I realised that you and I simply disagree on what defines culture. We are not alone as the definition of culture is not clear and many arguments similar to our have sparked up since the dawn of time.
From my perspective, the Chinese culture is old and worthy of admiration from its many feats, just as the Greek and Mesopotamian Cultures. I suppose even though I was brought up in the "western" culture I don't feel any connection at all with Roman or Greek cultural teachings. I don't feel that Aristotle had the same culture as me. The Greek people I talk to admit that modern Greek culture is not the same as ancient Greek culture (Although they wish it was). All of the Chinese people I have talked to see a deep and direct connection with Confucius and rightly or wrongly believe that he and the people around him lived in roughly the same cultural background as modern China. Maybe that is a result of how they are taught, but seeing as culture is taught then that is fine.
Of course cultures evolve. A culture of the descendants of ancient Greeks will have many influences from ancient Greece. However just like biological evolution, given enough time a totally new species emerges. Where to draw the line is tricky and we seem to differ on this point.
Well, at the scale and fuzziness at which you define a "culture", we have four major surviving cultures: China, Europe, India, and the Middle East. Of those, China is the youngest.
European culture has nothing at all in common with what was in Europe 2000 years ago. Very few people understand the common languages in use back then. No one follows anything remotely like the Roman culture or beliefs.
As far as the middle east is concerned. I doubt you will find anyone that could argue that modern Middle east culture is anywhere near what it was like 2000 years ago. Islam wasn't invented. In fact, 2000 years ago, vast swaths of the middle east were Roman or Greek. These cultures have completely vanished from the earth.
Most modern Indian languages emerged around 1000 years ago. Modern Indian culture is heavy influenced by Buddhism which began around 2400 years ago. Give a few years for it to spread and define the culture so it won't be much older than Chinese if at all.
Also Modern Chinese culture is still heavily influenced by the teachings of Confucius who lived around 500BC.

how about after a legally obtained warrant has been given to the ISP by a law enforcement officer

planes fly by using engineering trickery to keep them in the air so why can't a car use engineering trickery to keep it on the ground

and I think Europe and the US should continue to strongly oppose Chinese attempts to influence global politics and culture.
Why didn't you say that at the start. this is your actual point and you didn't need to try to insult Chinese culture to get it across.
