Maybe they should have reevaluated the situation when the government agreed to the IP restrictions. In giving up so little, they might have given up too much.
"So, you'll accept blocking known Iranian government IP addresses.....interesting.
Would you consider a strongly worded restriction in the EULA instead? Or maybe a graphic on the screen that says Not for Iranian Government Use?"
Astrology relies on, and is the predecessor of modern astronomy which is definitely a science. Believe in the interpretations or not, the basis of astrology is an accepted science.
Benamin Franklin was an astrologer. He wrote about the subject extensively in his farmers almanac.
As far as this topic being known, yes it was. It gets rediscovered every few years and must be explained each time. For western astrologers, this old 'discovery' doesn't mean anything. Western astrologers use what is known as the tropical zodiac which has always had only 12 signs. Eastern astrologers use the sidereal zodiac which has always had 13 signs. The sign shift occurs every 24000 years or so (I forget the exact number) and it goes back and forth.
It makes zero difference to the zodiac that most of us are familiar with.
It's only free now because they know nobody will pay for it. Think about it. If all of the sudden MPEG LA decided to start enforcing for web-usage, sites would flock to the other video standards supported by HTML5.
I think MS wants h.264 because that's the only HTML5 video standard they currently support in IE9. MONGO WANT CANDY.
The best supported format is OggTheora, where all browsers except IE and Safari have support. WebM is a close second with slightly less browser support.
I don't understand why several formats cannot be approved which would allow the market decide which format is best.
The reason I eat meat is that it tastes like meat, which is tasty
And what, exactly, defines meat? I would classify it as flesh from a once living creature, but maybe your definition is different than mine. Maybe your statement should have been "The reason I like meat is that it tastes like animals that I prefer to consume, which are tasty.
Microsoft files patent for 'One-Way Public Malice' in social networks and other online properties, lawyer-speak for what's more commonly known as 'hating' something online.
Possible.....sure, maybe. Cell phone signals are designed to travel for miles.
The transmitters are variable power, so it would be very difficult to determine distance based on signal strength. To do that, you would need several receivers to triangulate.
I say forget what other drivers are doing in their cars; get proof of what they do with their cars.
The tech I'd like to see (and I've considered building it) is a series of cameras that record in timeshift mode. That is, video from the cameras is stored for a pre-specified period before being replaced. I think 15 minutes would do. Upon detection of a crash, or activation by the driver, the video is permanently stored for use as evidence along with telemetry. If you're in an accident, you'll have video and telemetry of what you were doing, as well as video of what all the cars around you were doing. Additionally, it could be used as proof of innocence (or guilt) when pulled over for a moving violation or to record an event that occurs around your vehicle.
Throw a few MS Kinect cameras into that mix and you can have distance information for objects surrounding your vehicle as well. That opens up all sorts of interesting possibilities.
Prior to reading some of the article, I surmised that "bufferbloat" referred to a problem with buffers that are too large. Although the jargon isn't a complete definition, it gives a good description.
As far as jargon goes, bufferbloat is fairly concise compared to something like muffin top (which had me crying when my daughters explained it to me)
Of course, you won't address that thimerosal is highly toxic as represented by its material safety data sheet, you fall back to talking about practically benign salt.
Anyone using the salt analogy should be slapped until they gain some sense.
Oxygen is highly reactive and promotes combustion Hydrogen is highly combustible As a compound, however, h2o (water) is not flammable.
Sodium reacts violently to water living tissue reacts violently to chlorine As a compound, however, salt makes things tasty.
Mercury is highly toxic - nobody disputes this Thimerasol - the compound containing mercury - is also highly toxic (per its MSDS)
Much different than salt, both the individual element (mercury) AND the resultant compound (thimerasol) are both highly toxic.
Be prepared. I tried bring up the MSDS ratings in a different part of this article and the whole thing was modded down to troll...presumably to bury any rational arguments. Look up my comments to see the MSDS links. Look for trolls in the comments and you'll find that a significant number of them are rational arguments that were mod silenced.
Nevermind that there are valid and rational arguments against thimerosal. This is a "thimerosal is like cotton candy" article where a bad man gets spanked and everyone who disagrees isn't invited to eat marshmallows and fart butterflies with the unicorns.
It's exactly like that. Pocketknives are just as dangerous as the blades they contain. If you remove the blade from the pocketknife, it becomes much more safe.
Using salt as an example is asinine. Salt is safe, while the elemental components of salt are not.
I didn't post an MSDS for Mercury as an element, I posted one for Thimerosal - the compound. If it's so safe, why is it classified as "Highly Toxic"?
Section 3 - Hazards Identification EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Highly Toxic (USA) Very Toxic (EU). Very toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Calif. Prop. 65 reproductive hazard. Target organ(s): Nerves. Kidneys.
I found the "R33: Danger of cumulative effects" to be very interesting. The more you're exposed to, the worse off you are, because..of course, mercury is a toxic heavy metal (Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Iron, Aluminum) and our bodies don't like that stuff.
It's like not eating pocketknives because you're afraid of the blades it contains. Of course, the next argument is that very small pocketknives are ok to eat...because they're so small.

For others who didn't know about that discovery:

In the eastern sidereal zodiac, there have always been 13 signs.
Here in the west, we use the tropical zodiac which has always had 12 signs.
No news here. Call your tattoo artist and cancel your appointment. You're still the same sign as you were yesterday.

Sorry, but you'll have to find something else...
My favorite is Eye Tracking. Unfortunately, the device makes the wearer look like Hannibal Lechter.
The best we can hope to do with child porn, like any criminal act, is create savvy enough investigators to catch and prosecute them.
You set your hopes too low.
Do it like this:
"The best I hope can be done with child porn is that the perpetrators are burned alive on worldwide television."
Like requiring their domestic ISPs to null-route IP addresses instead of just blocking DNS.
You don't have children for their sake, you have them for your own.
Then the Duggars must be the most selfish people on the planet.
Maybe that's his child's username...or worse, it's his childs name!

And what, exactly, defines meat? I would classify it as flesh from a once living creature, but maybe your definition is different than mine. Maybe your statement should have been "The reason I like meat is that it tastes like animals that I prefer to consume, which are tasty.
That, of course, begs the question...what animals do you enjoy consuming? Cow, pig and chicken? Perhaps a deer? How do you feel about crab? If you like crab, then you'll be right at home eating insects. Crab is an arthropod, as are shrimp and lobster. Other arthropod species are spiders, scorpions and cockroaches as well as other creepy crawlies.
So next time you're enjoying a bite of lobster tail dipped in butter, lean back - take a bite for me and say "mmmm....tastes like cockroach"

The MSDS for chlorine and sodium as elements is radically different from the MSDS for sodium chloride as a compound.
The MSDS for Mercury vs Thimerosal are not that different.
Lets look at the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
