Any society advanced enough to recognize that it's man-made AND get over how obviously hostile to the human form it is will be able to decipher our explanation that it contains a poisonous substance we sealed away.
The Egyptians built non-hostile constructs, wrote warnings not to disturb their honored dead or people would suffer curses in their own (non-universal) language, and filled their shit with gold and riches. We're planning on building something that's not pretty, not filled with gold and riches, and covered in warnings that the only thing inside is something that poisoned us and was sealed away.
"This place is not a place of honor." The general theory has been to create a megalith which is inherently foreboding and discomforting to human beings. Giant spikes protruding from the ground, irregular black stones too hot and close together to be used for shelter, fields of sharp objects jutting in all directions, the sort of landscape that's hostile to human life and repellant rather than beautiful and attractive.
You and the grandparent hit it on the head. Ever since Dx10 they've been (failing miserably at) using DirectX to strongarm people into buying their latest Numerically Superior Product "or else".
Every time I've tried to use waze it overheated my phone so much it was physically uncomfortable to hold, google navigation on the other hand behaves nicely. If they take waze's features and google's performance I'd be happy.
Because he never said that you imbecile, the very first line of his post is "battery life is exceeding expectations by a wide margin" and then he goes on to elaborate that even after 10 years most people still don't need a replacement.
Here's what the view THROUGH google glass looks like as opposed to the Recon which is nothing more than one of these cut in half with a modern set of sensors bolted onto it.
Your source is a single eye version of the as-seen-on-tv home theater glasses with some basic modern sensors and X-TREME rebranding? And you want to compare this to an actual look-through heads up display? Seriously? The obligatory car analogy is comparing an actual HUD on the windshield (glass) with classic instrumentation that you can look down at.
You're trying to play up a screen on a hands free mount like it's an Eyetap.
Have you had a chance to use a version that supports same-screen multitasking yet? On a large enough screen it's basically true desktop style multitasking.
Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Legislate based on the criteria of self-awareness or the animal equivalent if near-sentient. problem solved.
That's like pointing and saying "B-b-but he's holding a knife!" and *completely ignoring* that the alleged victim just ran up behind the first person, slapped a knife into the first guy's hand, and then shouted "help!".
At this point I'm pretty much convinced you're being deliberately disingenuous about the whole issue. If a bunch of canadians suddenly up and jumped the border into north dakota, invented the identity of "Dakotinians" from whole cloth, formed a government whose official charter calls for genocide, constantly and indiscriminately attacked canadian and american civilians, and started demanding a two-state solution we'd all agree they have no right to do anything but gtfo and go back to the country they came from. A bunch of Syrians, Jordanians, Lebanese and Egyptians do it on the other hand...
The utter non-existence of a historical "palestinian" people IS relevant to EVERYTHING because it forms the basis of the entire false-legitimacy of their argument.
Actually that would be you that's engaging in bald faced lying and hypocrisy with at this point a blatantly obvious troll face. I mean you don't get much more openly absurd than calling historical documentation of the Grand Mufti's alliance with Hitler, and his Nephew's continuation of their shared goal under the false name Yasser Arafat "racist shitbaggery".
It proves exactly the opposite of what you said, that the palestinian people are NOT real, they do not exist, the entire claimed existence of such a people is openly admitted to be a political tool. Which is why the surrounding arab states do everything in their power to keep the "palestinians" in such poor conditions.
If by continuing presence you mean the fact that the jews are the only group to maintain any significant and continuous permanent habitation of the region for the last three thousand years then yes that's also part of what I'd mention, although it's neither a "land grab" nor a canard.
Your arguments on the other hand fit that definition handily, and your reference to the specious "canaanite" canard in another comment is a pretty clear giveaway that you're just here to shill for these guys: http://i.imgur.com/fVa0Nxq.jpg
"There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it". - Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, Syrian Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937 -
"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not". - Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946 -
"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria". - Representant of Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, 1956
"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel". - Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council -
Article 17 of the Hamas charter: "The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad, which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim)."

This is without even getting into the non-existance of the "palestinian" people, a fact admitted by multiple prominent palestinian leaders. Try a little google yourself, read about Mark Twain's account of his trip to the region, the british saying the land was so uninhabited it needed people to survive, even the ottoman census.
Without getting into the fact that there's no such thing as a Palestinian, and multiple prominent palestinian leaders have said as much, they're not interested in land. What they really want is clearly spelled out in the chants they repeat at demonstrations and Article 17 of the Hamas government charter, both of which call for the utter annihilation of the jewish people.
You need to read some history if that's what you think. Mark twain's trip is a particularly good account, the entire region was composed of malaria ridden swampland and ghost towns with the occasional temporary habitation by desert nomads. Multiple prominent leaders of the "palestinians" have admitted that the existence of any "palestinian" people is a complete and utter myth, invented solely as a political tool and populated by illegal immigrants from the surrounding arab nations. There are written accounts from governors who describe virtually their entire city's population sneaking into the british mandate to try and displace the jews.
Even the persona of "Yasser Arafat" of the PLO is a myth, a false name used by the nephew of the Grand Mufti Al-Husseini because (at the time) anyone who knew his real name would have immediately recognized that he was doing nothing other than continuing the goals of his uncle's closest political ally: http://i.imgur.com/NZ5DGwk.jpg?1
This is going in my folder of permanent ready-made rebuttals. The only things I would add would be citing the Hamas charter's calls for genocide, multiple historical quotes on the origins of the "palestinian" people (mass illegal immigration, etc), and most importantly the direct tie-in of everything: Grand Mufti Husseini and Hitler's alliance and shared goals of genocide, which were continued by the Grand Mufti's nephew under the assumed name of Yasser Arafat.

Sadly GP is right, they're starting to get so old that it's becoming a balancing act to keep them at a good sharpness and convergence.
I'm still using my 2048x1536@100hz screen from *ten years ago*. Flatpanels are the worst thing to ever happen to display technology.

I google that, against my better judgment. For anyone else wondering Shirako is fish cum.
