As someone that votes for the their preferred candidate, regardless of party affiliation, let me just say that what you said was very well put. The american people are 100% in control of what happens in this country (and I assume the same is true for other democracies), but the vast majority don't chose to exercise their own rights to choose.
If somebody comes here from another world, they have an distinct technological advantage. If anything history has shown that wars are won by the one having that advantage, so basically there wont be any invasions from space that we expel.
This is not necessarily true.
Imagine, if you will, two races on opposite sides of a galaxy. One race, lets call them humans, put all their time, effort and energy into finding new ways to destroy things. They have devices to destroy each other, and are even slowly destroying their own home. On the other side of the galaxy you have a race who never tried to kill each other, but instead focused on exploring the universe, we can call them aliens. The aliens, using their advanced technology in galactic travel, cross the vast expanse of space and eventually meet up with the humans. The humans proceed to use all of there technological advances to display a show of force threatening to destroy the aliens, and then proceed to enslave them.
My honest belief is that the reason we have no proof of alien visitors might very well be because they have watched use and realized we are not worth dealing with. I mean why get brought down with a race dead set on it's own destruction.
MA has no close in age exemption. MA actually increases the penalties with age difference, but does not exempt anyone based on age difference. My home state also does not have an close in age exemption, though it can be used as an affirmative defense. Age of consent laws really vary pretty significantly from state to state. Most of the age of consent laws are relatively recent. And yes that can be a real bitch for people that live near state borders.
however I'm ready to bet that the majority of English language speakers would say that 'as she walked home, one of the "Mean Girls" drove by and threw a can of Red Bull at her' means the Red Bull can was empty.
Not sure you know the use of the word "of" in this sentence. If we simply change the type of container that is used in the sentence the meaning becomes clearer "as she walked home, one of the "Mean Girls" drove by and threw a cup of Red Bull at her." There is no reason to believe that a can is more likely to be empty than a cup, but I am fairly certain in this case, you read the can as being empty and the cup as being full. If the writer had meant an empty can then they would had to have said "a red bull can" or "a can of air." To be completely honest both interpretation could be wrong and it was not a can at all, but the Red Bull contents of the can that where thrown.
Now I realize that both interpretations are valid in this context. I'm just saying if you are going to be pedantic, don't sound like an idiot while doing it.
Now excuse me while I pour myself a glass of water.
OOP has EVERYTHING to do with classes, inheritance and encapsulation. They are the foundational principles of the entire paradigm.
So close yet still wrong. Object Orient is defined as, Encapsulation, Abstraction, Polymorphism, and Inheritance. Classes are not a requirement for Object Orient Design or Programming. Prototypes fit the criteria for inheritance just fine with out the need for predefined Classes.
I'm not trying to be snide here, but perhaps you should read up on OOP core concepts and features [wikipedia.org] which include classes, inheritence, abstraction, encapsulation, polymorphism, and decoupling.
I hope you are not trying to say that JavaScript does not include these concepts, except for classes which is in no way required for OOP. JavaScript is a pure OO language, though I'm not 100% sure that it always has been, but it certainly has been for a while. You might for well at studying at least the different forms of inheritance so that you know what prototypical inheritance vs classical is.
Yes, but this compilation is JIT as you point out. JIT is not the same thing as a compiled language. Part of the point is that you can do this work once and save all your users the overhead of doing it.You can also send them bytecode instead of much more verbose source code (making less data to transfer).
In exchange for the user having the overhead of running the flash runtime environment. This also does not alleviate interpretation or JIT compilation, since flash operates as a VM for ActionScript. And if you want to reduce the amount of data transfer then send a compressed JavaScript library.
Sony and Nintendo appear to require a minimum business size for console game developers.
I don't know about Nintendo, but either the minimum business size for sony is some where around 10 employees, or else "That Game Company" is sending Sony some inflated numbers and Sony is not checking. So sure it might be hard for a single developer to get their product on the PS3, but then again that could be because you are going to have a hard time find a single developer who's is capable at both technical, artistic and marketing skills, to be able to make product to the quality level that Sony would prefer (and no that is not a knock on solo independent developers).
Bad example since hydrogen sulfide has a very distinctive smell and a direct affect on the nervous system, the system responsible for perception. But excusing that obvious slip, how would you know that something had an effect on you if you could not perceive it?
I was just pointing out that if sugarcane is less than half the acreage of sugar production and Florida accounts for less than half the sugarcane production, that your statement of "What little US grown sucrose there is comes usually from Florida sugarcane" is patently false. Never mind that most people would consider the over 2 million acres of sugar production in this country would really be considered "little".
"If I don't know about it, then it must not exist!"
I gather that is a paraphrasing of "what you can not see can not hurt you", which is more accurately "what you can not perceive can not effect you" which oddly enough is an actual fact.
Now I'm not saying this is how we should handle security, just say it is actually a valid statement.
It's also not what the GP was saying. They were saying that if we kill all the people that are smart enough to exploit the security holes then we would need not be concerned with anyone exploiting those security holes. Which also happens to be a fact, but seems like a lot of wasted intelligence.
If you delay math instruction then children could become emotionally invested in school and enjoy it.
Math, and to a lessor degree science, was the only thing I was interested in school. I wish they could have cut out everything else and then I might have enjoyed it.
Or, and this is a totally crack pot idea I know, we could tailor school to each child, or small groups of children, rather than treat every child exactly the same.
What little US grown sucrose there is comes usually from Florida sugarcane
I would you suggest you double check your research. Florida Sugarcane accounts for less than 1/4th of the sugar production in the United States. Sugarbeets are grown on more acreage than sugarcane in the United States.
It says what it says, as it has for over 200 years...in...pained constructions and archaic expressions.
Personal opinions aside, it seems as though you can see the problems with the constitution, so we are in agreement here (wether you realize it or not).
That all being said, if you don't like your representatives I suggest you pick new ones and work to convince those around you why they should pick a new one as well. My chosen representatives usually lose, but that's ok by me because I understand that I am not the majority and I understand how a representative republic (an antiquated concept) actually works.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to... the people."
I'm all for states rights, but you are only reading part of that amendment. I took out the part you are reading so that you can read the rest.
Congress are elected representatives of "the people." It is their duty to act on behalf of "the people."
And even if you want to somehow ignore that part of the amendment, as many people do, you can't ignore the Commerce Clause that states, the United States Congress shall have power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes".
If you do not believe that Health Care, and particularly Health Insurance, is interstate commerce, then there's really no discussing the constitution with you.
So will employing a foreigner to do it for them.
They'll learn just how expendable they are, and how easy it is to outsource their skills from a nation of cheaper labour.
I think you mean: They'll learn just how expendable their Executives think they are...
Also if you are going to let a foreigner do it for them you also have to have the school paying a high priced contractor to come in and actually make the foreigners work usable (and they play their cards right, they get to be the high paid contractor themselves).
Serious professional or not - anyone should be able to keep a thousand lines in their head, and write relatively bug free code around that. Maybe even 15000 lines without making mistakes.
Most people would not be able to keep more than 9 lines clearly discernible in their heads. This is why our brains naturally go through the process of recoding. No one thinks of 1000 lines of code as individual lines, we think of them as the concept they cover. But this is why object oriented design can into being in the first place, it's a form of recoding.
This code bubbles thing is really just another realization of Miller's magic number. That's not to say it's not a good thing, just saying it's not a new concept just a new implementation.
I'm not sure what exactly your point was, but I thought it might do some good to point out that it doesn't matter what age a person is, if they call you a "fuckhead" or say anything to you for that matter, you have no right to "kick [their] ass." On the other hand threatening someone with bodily harm is illegal.
Here is what I can say about that. If you access publicly available information, or better yet information I freely released to the public, and without offering any incentive, be it monetary compensation or false statements, requested that someone commit the murder of me, then I would have absolutely no reason to seek legal recourse (whether I had any legal ground for that recourse or not).
If someone randomly walked up to me and said, "punch the next person you see", and I followed through, then it would be my own doing. I'm sorry you think people are so weak minded that they can be so easily manipulated and controlled. I could not imagine living with such paranoid ideation.
Please note that I said "this should not be a crime." I never said it was not a crime. I was simply pointing out how fundamentally flawed it is to support the idea that this should be a crime.
But I should probably drop it since I'm obviously deliberately harassing you and causing you emotional stress. Good thing I'm careful about posting personal information on public forums.
Making it easier to find information, that you already provided, is not harassing anyone. And if aggregation of data on the internet causes you emotional stress I would suggest staying off the internet and seeking professional help.
The website being discussed simply provides an aggregate of information already available. Aggregating freely available data should not be a crime.
Actually Brandon Lee died of heart failure brought on by severe blunt trauma to his abdomen and spinal chord.
But if you go closer to the source you will see that it was the propellant from a blank cartridge that propelled a bullet at is abdomen in the first place. So he was killed by both a bullet and a blank, it took the combination of both to cause the fatal injury.
What is it you are doing wrong that has you communicating with your coworkers in such archaic ways as direct voice communication? You are distracting them from their current task, causing considerable task switching to occur. Communication is almost always better in an asynchronous medium, which allows you to finish the current task and focus completely on the conversation if necessary. Your method also has no record of the communication so it can not be referenced latter if the same or similar situation arises again in the future.
Use digital communications like email and instant messaging. These offer many advantages over direct voice communication, and allow your works to continue to block out communications that they do not need to be apart of.
My boss sits in the office next to mine and we communicate by instant message 90% of the time.
