    Even nasty stuff like kiddie-porn does not cause mental health problems - it merely shows us where they already exist.

  9. Re:Prime Scalia - "Words no longer having meaning" on Supreme Court Upholds Key Obamacare Subsidies · · Score: 1

    We've seen the Rebel flag suddenly become a horrible symbol of oppression, and hate and vilified all of a sudden and yanked even from online stores and private individual sales on ebay.

    It is now going so far that there seems to be a rush to destroy history, and take down all statues or anything of confederate soldiers...things no one had ever previously thought were any type of hate symbol, but merely marks of history.

    Suddenly? No one had ever previously? Boy howdy, that's some fine head-in-sand you got going there.

    For my application I'm not trying to trigger events on the phone, just trigger events on the device that uses the PN532 if the watch / phone is detected. I don't need pairing, just "NFC object with id 0xF00 was sensed."

    While the NFC services would be restricted to Apple Pay, does this also mean that general NFC scanners won't be able to 'see' them? I use tags with this now https://www.adafruit.com/produ... but was hoping that the watch / phone would be visible too.

    "I'm absolutely convinced that a riot merely intensifies the fears of the white community while relieving the guilt. And I feel that we must always work with an effective, powerful weapon and method that brings about tangible results. But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." -- some thug
