Obviously you haven't spent any real time with paramedics, ER Personnel, or ex-frontline combat soldiers. Gallows humor is a time-tested method of sanity retainment. Even though I am none of the above, I know that if I didn't laugh at all the stupid shit that goes on in the world I would have killed myself a long damned time ago. It's entirely too fucking depressing.
Had he had a gun, how much do you want to bet that he would be shot dead? A melee range weapon to a person covered in body armor with a gun is an almost negligible threat(Unless said person is right next to you and you're out of ammo.).
Hmm, depends on the replicant. Given the amount of gengineering going on in the fil, I'm pretty sure someone could by an arm that could do that. It's also irrelevant to how their brains are patterned.
Not poorly developed, just rushed severely for time. Look to the publisher for the problems with KotORII. 6 more months and everything would have been fine with it.
Neither does the latter, just get a fake news team set up with some really nice video cameras and make sure to do lots of "interviews". Be a lot more efficient than fucking dragonfly spies.
Ah, here we have a student of engineering who apparently flunked statistics. Or else he would know that all three of the Lancet reports were pure dren. Or perhaps he does know but chooses to engage in self deception so as to cut down on the cognitive dissonance that would otherwise be present between his own overwhelming highly illogical ideology and the actual facts as they exist. Of course, the funniest part is that he has chosen a entire profession based on logic, unless he plans to engineer stuff at the quantum level. Then, given the highly illogical nature of interactions between particles in their subatomic state, one could excuse him if he seemed a little confused.
What about the third POV. The one that realizes that the current programs are monetarily insoluble and will end up driving this country into the dirt long term without access to free energy(free energy being defined as an energy source with no limits, or limits so astronomical as to be negligible, and dirt cheap to get at)?
The core 360 is gimped purely because of it's lack of an HDD. All other differences are irrelevant. It's a simple performance issue. for PS3 games, there are no performance improvements applicable to PS3 games that could be brought to bear between the 40 and 60/20/80 gig versions. Big difference. The core system, given that MS is forcing the vast majority of games to be playable w/o major differences between core and non-core, will in the long run, seriously hamper the 360's performance.
Technically speaking it is not yelling fire in a theater that is against the law. Rather, it is causing through your speech the very real threat of bodily harm in the ensuing chaos from making people think they are in immediate threat of harm. And just the same, for an incitement to riot charge to stick you have to be advocating actions that can( and really must) be taken immediately in order to work. Otherwise it falls back under the idea of free speech.
Unfortunately not intelligent to tell the french to get their grubby little hands off of Vietnam however. If he had, the Vietnam war probably would never have come to pass because they would have had no reason to go communist.
It has the power to do so, certainly, but it's an architecture that does not lent itself to direct emulation of other processors. Still possible, of course, just bloody complicated and given the continuing ubiquitousness of the PS2, not that much of a rush job.
Dammit, we're still very fucking good at making guns. And scopes(Not quite as good as the swiss, but then in optics nobody is). And bicycles, we're quite good at those. Okay, I'm out of stuff.
MIT has a similar program and if I remember correctly Berkely already had this setup going, just running off of their own servers. This is just a cheaper(for them) version of the same thing.
Actually, to be precise contract law needs to be regulated, and very simply regulated at that. The more laws you pass regulating the companies themselves, the more likely it is to come out in the companies(or the govts. depending on the system) favor. The general consumer will lose every damned time.
you mean the following argument? http://www.baen.com/library/home.htm The first is what you might call a "matter of principle." This all started as a byproduct of an online "virtual brawl" I got into with a number of people, some of them professional SF authors, over the issue of online piracy of copyrighted works and what to do about it.
There was a school of thought, which seemed to be picking up steam, that the way to handle the problem was with handcuffs and brass knucks. Enforcement! Regulation! New regulations! Tighter regulations! All out for the campaign against piracy! No quarter! Build more prisons! Harsher sentences!
Alles in ordnung!
1. Online piracy -- while it is definitely illegal and immoral -- is, as a practical problem, nothing more than (at most) a nuisance. We're talking brats stealing chewing gum, here, not the Barbary Pirates.
2. Losses any author suffers from piracy are almost certainly offset by the additional publicity which, in practice, any kind of free copies of a book usually engender. Whatever the moral difference, which certainly exists, the practical effect of online piracy is no different from that of any existing method by which readers may obtain books for free or at reduced cost: public libraries, friends borrowing and loaning each other books, used book stores, promotional copies, etc.
3. Any cure which relies on tighter regulation of the market -- especially the kind of extreme measures being advocated by some people -- is far worse than the disease. As a widespread phenomenon rather than a nuisance, piracy occurs when artificial restrictions in the market jack up prices beyond what people think are reasonable. The "regulation-enforcement-more regulation" strategy is a bottomless pit which continually recreates (on a larger scale) the problem it supposedly solves. And that commercial effect is often compounded by the more general damage done to social and political freedom.
In the course of this debate, I mentioned it to my publisher Jim Baen. He more or less virtually snorted and expressed the opinion that if one of his authors -- how about you, Eric? -- were willing to put up a book for free online that the resulting publicity would more than offset any losses the author might suffer.
The minute he made the proposal, I realized he was right. After all, Dave Weber's On Basilisk Station has been available for free as a "loss leader" for Baen's for-pay experiment "Webscriptions" for months now. And -- hey, whaddaya know? -- over that time it's become Baen's most popular backlist title in paper!
And so I volunteered my first novel, Mother of Demons, to prove the case. And the next day Mother of Demons went up online, offered to the public for free.
Sure enough, within a day, I received at least half a dozen messages (some posted in public forums, others by private email) from people who told me that, based on hearing about the episode and checking out Mother of Demons, they either had or intended to buy the book. In one or two cases, this was a "gesture of solidarity. "But in most instances, it was because people preferred to read something they liked in a print version and weren't worried about the small cost -- once they saw, through sampling it online, that it was a novel they enjoyed. (Mother of Demons is a $5.99 paperback, available in most bookstores. Yes, that a plug. )
Then, after thinking the whole issue through a bit more, I realized that by posting Mother of Demons I was just making a gesture. Gestures are fine, but policies are better.
So, the next day, I discussed the matter with Jim again and it turned out he felt exactly the same way. So I proposed turning the Mother of Demons tour-de-force into an ongoing project. Immediately, David Drake was brought into the discussion and the three of us refined the idea and modified it here and there. And then Dave Weber heard about it, and Dave Freer, and. . . voila.
The Baen Free Library was born.
This will be a place where any author can, at their own personal discretion, put up online for free any book publ
No it wouldn't, simply because the moment we switch to hydrogen as a primary fuel source the taxes(currently $.32 of every dollar in my state) will be leveed on the hydrogen. Thus making it just as expensive.
Unless, of course, part of the damned warranty demands that you not modify the device. In which case it very well voids the warranty. End of discussion. $10 says the warranty doesn't not cover unlocked phones(note, I might be out $10, but that's unlikely).
Yes, you bought it. It's yours. Fine. Apple releases software that cleans up various bugs etc.. etc.. It also either bricks or undoes whatever mods were done to the phone. You don't HAVE to install the update. So either you can use your phone in the state you want it, or you can apply apple updates to it. It's one or the other, not both.
Maybe with folding chairs, but Ballmer pioneered in the field when he launched office furniture. Definitely worthy of a patent under the current USPTO.
If I was watching the ending pictures closely enough, I didn't see the friendly neighborhood tiefling with the rest of the escapees, although I might have just overlooked her. Which means she may or may not be with you in the expansion.
Military spending as is is actually less than social welfare spending(Not things like schools etc.., just programs like socsec and medicare which any amateur mathematician can tell you are fiscally insoluble long term.) per year and that's just based on straight cash accounting. Go to accrual and the imbalance is even more present.
Waco-type events? Soooo, children and others were slaughtered at the whim of the BATFE and FBI and then the evidence(At least 6 different cameras) was lost/mysteriously malfunctioned? And there was an accompanying suicide probably over the outcome of the issue at cabinet level?

Considering actual defense is next to useless except as a delaying tactic against a good opponent in Starcraft, obviously quite a lot.

It would be a Grendel cluster of course(with apologies to Kelly McCullough)

The Taser is a shitty, extremely unreliable self-defense weapon. It is, however, an excellent enforcement/compliance tool.
