In the US, if you vote for a "third party" you are throwing your vote away
I wish people would stop repeating this as it reinforces the idea in people's minds and keeps them voting for one of the big two. We should instead say (loudly and frequently) that if you vote either Republican or Democrat then you're throwing your vote away.
More importantly I think is the only thing that will keep executives interested in being executives who follow the law is seeing those who don't PERSONALLY fined into bankruptcy and/or sent to prison for appreciable periods of time.
I sure hope so! I've been waiting for forearm computing practically my whole life. It just seems to me the best way to combine a usably sized display with wear-ability. Bonus points if they can make a screen viewable from both sides (sandwiching 2 together would be an acceptable substitution) so you can flip it up to reveal a keyboard.
I've been wondering why nobody has made anything like this yet for some time. How many times have we seen good/bad guys in movies with the gps/vid phone/AI/etc. on their forearm and gone "Neat, I want one!"?
This is funny today but my guess is that within 25 to 50 years the space junk problem will become great enough that it will become economical for an international trade consortium or some other such body to collect fees from those utilizing commercial orbits in exchange for being the trash collectors of space. This organization could either build and maintain it's own fleet of orbit sweepers or grant bounties or contracts on specific satellites or debris clouds.
While it isn't listed on the site as one of our primary platforms at the moment, ballot access for 3rd parties is one of the issues we plan on attacking.
I just talked to our promotions officer who does the site and he says once he finishes getting the design and back end stuff done he'll be adding a section on it to the site.
Thank you for that well thought out constructive criticism of our platform and methods of operation. I'll be sure to pass along these wonderful ideas to the other members.
I can't speak for the parent poster but personally I'm working on it.
We just launched a new site so the forums are a bit sparse. We're still working out the kinks in the organization and it sure will be a long hard road but at least I feel like I'm finally doing something about it instead of bitching on the internet and getting pepper sprayed at protests.
I just got this horrific image of a dystopian future in which you have to carry on your person licenses for every piece of hardware, software, content, fashion accessory, haircut, tattoo, etc. that you have on your person. Don't have your license? Pay the fine or go to jail. The scariest thing about that is I can see it coming true.
I was thinking more along the lines of microsoft moving windows update to a ipv6 only block. Redirect ipv4 requests to a "your ISP is robbing you and not letting you access the whole internet" page. Bam, problem solved. Every major ISP would be forced to upgrade their networks or lose all of their customers.
I hot glued a ton of mine to a piece of cardboard, covered it with a piece of gray plexiglass from a fiber patch panel door and ran an IDE cable with a keyring threaded through it around the middle for a hanger to make some neato geek art.
The simplest explanation is that a highly trained and successful microbiologist found the time and equipment to culture, weaponize, and distribute anthrax in his spare time while still maintaining his normal duties without arising any suspicion from his peers, and then proceeded to kill himself in just about the slowest, most inefficient, and most painful way possible.
Now I'm not saying there's no way it's true, but it smells fishy enough to warrant looking further into in my opinion.
If it is possible to train your mind so that you can calmly burn yourself to death without moving a muscle, nothing anyone can do to you can possibly affect you.
Especially because once you figure this trick out and succeed, you're dead and no longer exist to have control exerted over.:)
As someone who only an hour ago took a big swig out of a soda can with cigarette butts in it, I implore those of you doing this to promptly dispose of said containers and not leave them laying about so that they might be mistaken for someones fresh beverage.

We have a word for man induced menstruations, so I guess we could call this an "oil abortion."
Yeah, they left out the word supernatural before creator.

If you were a politician you would have just won my vote.
From the quoted article:
What remained of the images were transferred to the Smithsonian and those were destroyed between 1995 and 2001
There's a clever "pics or it didn't happen" joke in there somewhere..
Well, at least not any where being able to unlock the doors or turn the window motor would be any help.

Damn, is anyone else getting hungry? I think I have some coupons for Mexican restaurants around here somewhere..
I don't do anything the NSA cares about right now,
Fixed that for you.
It used to be the Japanese, then the commies, now the Muslims. Who's to say in 20 years it wont be some group you happen to be a part of.
The judge busts in the door just in time to deliver a definitive shotgun blast to the face?
One can hope.

I think I need to go lie down...

He would make a great spokesperson for life extension research.
I believe the correction you are looking for is "statute."

But what about the swamps delicate ecosystem?!
Done and done good sir. I would copy my complaint here but the lameness filter would probably barf on all the capslock.
Maybe I should try again when I haven't had so much rum.
