It's those damn aliens.. Obama has been shown the "non-disclore" files on NASA's moonlanding and their warning not to fuck around on the moon. That must be it, the new president is a pantsy...
Or he might's seen the movie "Moon" and (SPOILER ALERT) doesn't know what to do with all these clones.
They should do this on cars too. Vehicle manufactures should come equipped with GPS based governors, alcohol detection, sex detection, and reckless driving detection straight from factory. This could even be extended to manual shoulder checks , cellphones, smoking, eating, talking, and everything else that could possibly be dangerous.
I'm for that. It would bring the cost of my insurance down significantly, if all the "risk"-percentages are taken out. Being young would actually mean your omnimiun is lower as reactivity is still sharp, and being older would bring it up as your reflexes and reactionability starts to wither. OTOH, by the time you reach old age, and have been paying your omnium with no incidents, it could equalize because you've sufficiently contributed to the pool. So basically, your omnium would be affordable as a youngster, and gets less of a burden as you grow older. Money you could use to buy some decent electric car or something cool like that.
So, lets put these detectors in. I don't have sex while driving anyway, and the sex I've had in my car just smudged the seats. That's a no-no unless she cleans up after herself or I get leather seats.
Secondly, if you are sitting for hours at a desk each day, you are not fit.
I work as a software consultant and alot of my work is sitting.
Every 2-3 days, however, I swim about 2 km or 1.2 miles to clear my mind, overthink business and personal goals or issues. I'd like to think I'm somewhat fit, even though I sit for most of the day.
...sentiments on a football clip. Later he's identified as hooligan on a football match of his prefered team [emphasis mine] From your idioms I assume you mean soccer.
No, I do not.
If I break up the world in my own language, Dutch "Voetbal", or in German "Fußball" and the French "jeu de foot(ball)" for that matter, the same breakup of the word still stands: they all translate to "foot-ball". It's not a local bastardization or misattribution as they are considered the same thing in 4 languages based which I know are in active use.
If I translate it to English, it's also "football". If I would refer to "American football", it'd add the qualifier for clarification even though around here "American football" is considered a derivative of "Rugby", so they'd refer to "football", as you seem to think about it, as "rugby";)
As per definition: A speech form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements, as in keep tabs on. I would say "soccer" is an idiom because I cannot trace back on the base of it's elements what is ment by it. Football, however, suggests the game is played by a ball and using ones feet; which is the base rule of that game, you cannot use your hands.
How the police responded so quickly is beyond me, though...
On wiki-leaks there was a technical analysis about an online alerting system and matching "agents" with possible criminal acts and events based on online (social) media and profiling of people. (linking all their online activity).
They use as one proof-of-concept example how they match a user on youtube showing agressive sentiments on a football clip. Later he's identified as hooligan on a football match of his prefered team.
That system raises flags with keywords (echelon style) with several degrees of criminal acts as the example case of a terrorist, being linked to a potential terroristic attack linked and a specific user with would raise a "CRIMNAL.CRITICAL"-message in the system.
If this would be already in use (I don't recall the dating of the analysis, but assumed it was a project to start), it would just raise flags and terrorism just like this user (I seem to recall Echelon would match certain words to start active montiring on the landline; I've played around with that in the 90s with my girlfriend to try to get her dormline actively monitored "to see if it were true". A few times the line sounded like it was monitored after that, but in a dorm it could've been just active imagination or students listening along).
Especially because "terrorism" is such a active evil, all the data crawlers and interpreters would throw red flags with such jokes. More disturbingly is that he actually got arrested for a frustrated outlet and officials are taking social media so serious.
btw, after reading the technical analysis on wikileaks, I shut down my "social media accounts", until people started texting me internationally asking me if I were still alive (isn't it ironic, there's been a time where I sought "social refuge" online, now what I ran for has found it's way to my online experience and the online experience has found its way to my, so to speak, doorstep.). But that is a whole other subject I guess..
Well, there's a billion and one random internet people who would rather deliver some sarcasm than help people out. Some people are at least trying.
From your message alone, I can't make up what the goal is of the people trying. Are they trying to be sarcastic? And are those billion and one random internet people failing to be sarcastic? I doubt a billion would be much.
What are you doing other then critisizing "the billion and one sarcastic people", if I assume that's your message?
It's hard to effectively do something of worth, I can plunder the handful of savings I have aside and donate to an organisation that I believe would do something good overthere. I can't fly overthere, as I have other obligations and am not medically trained, or anything that I would mentally project as useful and would just be forfilling a personal desire to be significant...
I don't know what *IS* going on there in detail or what help they need. Really, if there goes a message across "we need people to help here and could very specifically do this and that", I'll be the first to volounteer.
But, don't do the thing you criticize others doing..
Yes, I made the assumption it would be equal, but it is not.
Last week there was a small reunion of a class 10 years ago, and the "skinny unattractive girl" grown into a hottie, the "hottie" has gone through her batch of men and now has the hottie-attitude, still, yet has settle for far less you would've thought...
In this context, those two got into a whole sex-conversation, with giggles, what they had tried and such, and we ended up with the all "teen hormone driven fun" we used to have...
Somehow I came to state, because one claimed I would never have fantasized about her, "well, it's normal to masturbate fantasizing of girls around you", and nudged the guy next to me so he confirmed and agreed a bit hesitant to be as open. To the shock of these girls; "we weren't really occupied with those things as early.", after which there was an uncomfortable silence; "I'm not sure if I'm comfortable thinking the guys jerking off thinking of me back then", and the guy next to me uttered "c'mon!! You girls did it too!", to which they denied but listed girls who might've already been occupied with those things.It was pretty hilarious.
So, (this set of) women masturbate less? Could be, but they seem to catch up ALOT in later years once they discover their sexuality and the availability of men (women get it still pretty easy), while males seem to decline in sexual activity having sortof a "mismatch" in peak of sexuality.
any ways are there laws saying that assisted suicide can't be done in states in us or other areas.
A while back there's been a documentary about assisted suicide, they investigated where it was legal and not, non-profit organisations aiding people who wanted euthenasia.
It ended with following someone who decided to helped to die, he said bye to his girlfriend, and drank some suicidemix provided with the help of the non-profit.
After he drank this, he's lays down on his bed, his speech gets slower and after a while there's no response anymore and over is the documentary as his life.
"You're making it way too easy to use to create applications!"
Well, isn't that the point?
I've developed on Android the last weeks, because I felt the challenges this summer creating apps are mainly "teensoftware", which is great in alot of dimensions (getting people interested in programming, there's alot of progamming work out there, stop making people wan ting to get lobotomies because you "set your job safe" by writing hard to maintain code) but that teensoftware, doesn't scratch my itch.
Teens and likes don't know the needs of people in the workingforce or businesses and that's where you have your targetaudience if you want to get serious on mobile development. (I know some government projects working on augmented reality software, which is pretty cool. But that's also not where my focus is.)
Concerning the "ease", it took some thought to get performance right in my applications and generics aren't that easy as in.NET. There's some more thought required and the debugger might be nice but.NET started to feel like playing with playdoh compared to receiving a bag with sand and a cup of water.
I wonder what the purpose of IT and development is, is it coming to a solution or is it messing on the way to a solution? I know I get more out of delivering something then maintaining a mess or constantly being "almost done".
Easy of development is something that you should be happy about, you're a programmer above a procrastinator or even a sadomasochist, right?
This is my first reaction too. I'm not flying anymore with these scanners installed.
I could cope with the unnecessary checks at airports (I've been in the last years around the USA and Canada, flying in from Europe.) honestly, most of that was a theatre wasting me and others alot of time. I'll take my business and money elsewhere.

This technology will be mass produced in only 20 years.
I think this could lift off pretty fast once it's incorporated in fashion, affordable goodies, want-haves, and is popularized in this way.
Say, you would design an affordable line of clothing with a nicely hidden away mini-USB-cable to power your gadgets with the glitter displayed discretely (having a certain technological cool about it but also being aesthetical and fasionable, so not the "geek gear", or the over the top 80s like neon fad, but accessable for the general public being some added "I'm environmently friendly and techno cool"-patch)
I think you can shave off on R&D time by driving up demand for this technology and investing in it with a sense of urgency.
Just think of the possibilities of being a walking powercollector?
Conserving the genetic diversity within this genus has implications for the sustainability of our daily cup
... geeks for the anti-global-warming ring:
Happy day, geek walking up to coffee machine to read note: "Please be informed, due to potential global warming, there is no more coffee, EVER.".
Geek falls on his knees to the floor, with his dilbert printed mug explodes in chards upon impact on the same floor, with a sharp sound as the geek releases a load screaming while shaking his fist at the heavens: "OMG NOT MY COFFEE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! ID ANYTHING FOR COFFEE! IF I ONLY SAW THIS ONE COMING! I was soo proud, thinking I could bend nature, the fool I have been", while he rests his face, sobbing, in his hands in the mids of his fallen empire of productivity, the once caffeinated multitasking geek, he.
That very deperate moment the globalwarming-genie pops in with a puff of black CO2-rich smoke: "There is a way, my good brave intellectual... But it will be a challenging quest...", while the disoriented geek looks up, licking his thinkgeek caffeine soapbar, bubbling a partial disoriented yet interested: "Wut?"
They should try looking between the ears of politicians.
It's true that alot of politicians are corrupted, and not much gets done.
But have you worked in a large company yet, where in order to complete a project different seperated departments with different stakes are involved and all have an own opinion and different expertises?
Enlarging that to "projects in a country" or even on a larger scale, it amases me anything gets done at all, disregarding the intelligence of many trying to push their agenda, stakes and represent their stakeholders (say, in the best case, their voters values.)
The older I get, the more these kindof powers become more clear; friction, weight, opposing views, personal context, agenda, conflicting personal or professional goals,...
While the joke stands, strong, I do wonder if there are alternatives which aren't just utopian.

were I living in a communist country like China, i'd use a linux livecd with no attached hard drive.
I first encrypted all my temporary data, encrypted everything in cache, it was a sweet algorithm. But I figured that wasn't enough, an onion-rings didn't help either. (I tried, I failed.)
So then I decided to use my PC without keyboard, so they couldn't log my keystrokes or via processing the audio for my keystrokes discover what I was typing. From there up, everything was a success, I could later remove my monitor so noone could see what I was doing and I could just imagine keyboardinupt on my PC.
I wasn't ever so productive and most of all SECURE.
Soon enough, I felt my mousemovements could also be secured by removing my mouse. Once I mastered this way of working, they suggested I also could work without turning on my PC, as they could measure my work by reading radiation from my CPU "if they really would be wanting to read my work", just tossing out my HD wasn't sufficient. So, right now, I'm 100% secure, sitting at my desk, imagening my work.
I did read something about mindreading, but I think that's just FUD.
So is it even theoretically possible to, say, dig a big shaft into it to slowly release the pressure under controlled conditions over decades or centuries?
...is that many operate in the safe harbors of their home countries
You cannot impose yourself into someone else's country as their laws differ from yours. Calling it a "safe harbor" is a bit offensive. Like you want to poke them with a stick but local law, culture and geography doesn't allow you to do what you please with "them"..?
I'll start imposing my local laws on Americans. Then complain you wont allow me to proscecute an American, on American soil, under my terms. Say, I would be an Arab (I'm not) and I consider porn-watching criminal and punishble by death. (I've had to write a report on Saudi servers of a client once, where someone downloaded porn hoping we wouldn't login on those servers. Which became locally a criminal case punishable by death. No joke.)
As long you do not have a consensus, globally or the on what "cyber criminality" is, and the severity which it should be prosecuted and make it equally enforcable (legal backing) this is impossible. Once you have this consensus, globally, there would be no "safe harbor" anymore.
If they are so poor, why are they having children? Real question. A condom is a hell of a lot cheaper than a child, so you'd think it would be more popular among those who are in poverty.
If they have to choose to buy a family-pack of condoms now or get a few drinks and get laid now, they'd pick the latter;)
I believe this might be a problem in certain demographies, where it's hard to make an extrapolation and weigh off short-term profit and long-term profit. The "instant gratification" seems much more appealing in a hopless situation, where you feel there is no tomorrow to live for.
