So... why did they smoke until they became addicted? What do you think happens anyway? "Wow, this does nothing for me! Better keep at it until I'm addicted!"
Try thinking before posting.
Peer pressure and social contagion. Youngsters see older people smoking and feeling good about it (the older ones being addicted, and really liking it), and there you have it.

So basically, one molecule of the thing in a gallon of water?
No. It's much, much less than that. The quoted value there is one part in 10^60. A mole is 6.02x10^23. There's about 200 moles of water molecules in 1 gallon (3.8 liters and 55 moles per liter for water). So one molecule of water in one gallon is one part in 10^26. To get one part in 10^60, you'll need about 10^34 gallons of water. Wikipedia indicates this is the volume of Betelgeuse (a massive star that's about a million times the volume of the sun.)
And this is why I don't skip AC's. *stands up and applauds*
As a conservative, religious man, I find the religious anti-vaccination crowd a bunch of blind ninnies. I have a few at my church like that, and I want to smack them as they put my children who are too young to receive these vaccination at risk of catching a deadly disease.
Yet you still go that church? Might as well stop that, for your childrens' health.

No, it's not a phone. It's a pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls. We call it a smartphone for historical reasons. Do you also complain that we say 'computer' as shorthand for 'electronic computer', when we all know that a computer is a person who prepares logarithm tables?
Yes, yes, so much yes. My smartphone is hardly used in the phone-kind of way (not much of a caller anyway, hardly touch those 'free' minutes) but as an internet-computer/pdf-viewer/musicplayer/calculator/watch SO much more. It doesn't do any of those functions really well, but just good enough and the fact that it's all in one single handheld device makes me happy.
When I ONLY want a good mobile phone I'll get my old trusty Siemens.
Prove that... The most effective deterrent to actual violence is a credible threat of retaliatory violence. That is how humans actually work in the real world. Widespread gun ownership reduces violence.
Majority of shooters are willing to die, or even kill themselves. That's how shooters ACTUALLY work.
Because when I buy something to prepare myself there always be someone else who is prepared to take it from me. I better live like it is here, and not in some warzone. Or some retarded survivalist citadel.

So, a car is a toy? A stove is a toy? A band saw is a toy?
That's very possible:
toy |toi| noun 1 an object for a child to play with, typically a model or miniature replica of something : [as adj. ] a toy car.
an object, esp. a gadget or machine, regarded as providing amusement for an adult : in 1914 the car was still a rich man's toy.
Toy and tool do not exclude each other. My laptop is more a toy at home, but a tool at work. (not that I don't like the work, but I rather keep a more serious pose there) I'm not sure where the EXACT difference lies, but I prefer to know the context before I judge. I've seen stoves I'd love to play with, I've seen cars (Ford Falcon!) that would serve me no more purpose than fun (heck, anyone with more than 2 cars could be considered to keep cars as toys), I wouldn't call a band saw a toy but someone else might: to each his own, I guess?
Also, it's "its", not "it's". You would think an editor on an English-language website would have at least a rudimentary understanding of English grammar rules.
"US-centric" != "rudimentary understanding of English" I kid, I kid...
UI is confusing, to say the least. But that's not my issue with it, it's UNBELIEVABLY slow to click around. *click* *wait* oops wrong option *click again* *wait* *find the right option* et cetera.
But it's very capable of what it ought to do. It's immensely big though and I prefer smaller apps for smaller tasks.
I saw that Ted Talk, one of the few that made sense, was honest, was based on facts and experience and should address the whole world. Yet half my acquaintances were convinced that Mike Rowe was blabbering. They rather heard someone talking about success than about life's realities.
If you answer 'yes' or 'a reasonable person might think so' then you're still looking at it with half of your brain.
Given the circumstances which were well reported, no matter who was 'on top' or had weed in their system or was a 'racist'...Zimmerman's life was **not in danger**
His head was banged repeatedly against concrete. I'd call that life threatening. Oh wait, let me use your argument enhancing technique:
Of course real violence desensitizes people. No question in that.
But we are talking about virtual violence. That is completely different. Virtual violence, like video games, do not desensitizes people to real violence. Because that one is virtual and the other is real.
A horror movie will not desensitize you. A plane crash movie will not traumatize you.
And yet the videos of the planes crashing into the World Trade Towers on 9/11 that were played over and over again, did indeed traumatize many. So evidently, some plane crash movies do traumatize people.
I fail to see how the planes crashing into the World Trade Towers is virtual violence.
My wife is an architect and she likes the mac desktop, but she needs to run windows only cad software.
And, presumably, can't do so in VMware Fusion or Parallels Workstation (which avoid the reboot and the "can't run your OS X apps and your Windows apps at the same time") or doesn't want to spend the money for them. (Yes, I can imagine that there are apps that don't work well enough in a simulated Windows box, for whatever reason.)
Sometimes it's really convenient to just reboot and get to work, instead of launching an extra environment. Yes, virtualisation works, but unless one has to multitask between os-dependant applications, booting in another os is effective and efficient. And provides breaks and stuff.
dude, story please? what did you do that you were arrested for assaulting an officer in front of 6 or 7 witnesses?
"to within an inch of his death", he assured me when I asked about it (he mentions it a lot). So he managed to get tried and found guilty with over 5 witnesses AND a hospital record to prove otherwise. Probably because of some 'Occupy' action. Don't question him of he'll 'foe' you too.

nothing happens, its NOT a product, its a pretty 3D render and a VC bait,
Exactly. This is a DESIGNER at work, not a scientist. It's about selling pretty pictures, and interesting ideas, but nothing more.
But were they Bald Eagles? Cuz let's be honest, no one gives a fuck about sea gulls.
In all fairness: most of the world doesn't give a fuck about bald eagles.

Schneier is right,
No, it's not a phone. It's a pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls. We call it a smartphone for historical reasons. Do you also complain that we say 'computer' as shorthand for 'electronic computer', when we all know that a computer is a person who prepares logarithm tables?

For the record, the pictures are available here. They were infamous long before anyone knew it was this Mosley guy (he's nobody to me).

social security number = ID and citizenship check
But it needs a proof of ID, or something like that, with a photo, I guess? Like a passport? Just the plain numbers are worthless, I hope?
Alerts don't sell phones or services, so it's probably funded, staffed, and supported like anything else that doesn't contribute to profits: poorly.
Expect it to either be pwned after a few times, or "This important message is brought to you by General Motors"
Hopefully it will get a bit more sinister, less shouting and running, better arcs. Can't wait till the Christmas Special :)
He was 41 at the time, but could have passed for younger.
Eccles was good, and very underestimated. He gave Dr Who a bit of noir. The lang black coat suited very well.
