Shouldn't the NSA have copies of all the emails also? What is the point of the whole warehouses of storage for grabbing everything that goes through the internet if they can't use it in cases like this.
Actually, the police want to shut down the tracker apps that tell you where they are. They claim it is too dangerous for people to know where the police are. Why then is it ok for them to know where we are?
There are other things that could help, regulating and/or taxing fat [...] in food for example.
If you listen to the wrong people you will get the wrong results. Studies show that eating fat does not make you fat. That is like kindergarten level thinking, if you eat chicken you will be a chicken!
There is the fact that being lazy is thought to be the reason these people are fat. The reality is that getting fat makes you more tired. You are seeing correlation and thinking it is causation. It is actually the other way around, the fat comes first, then the laziness comes afterward. I think it was in the movie Fat Head on Netflix where I learned about these findings. They cover the whole cholesterol thing too, where the very thing they tell you to avoid to prevent the hardening of arteries is actually what keeps your arteries from hardening. It's almost like they want to make everyone fat and sick so they can profit from it.
It is easy to beat rail for commutes. Get rid of all the stopping at stations you are not going to. We need rail systems with on/off ramps where your pod can separate from the train and stop at the station while the other people continue on. That would speed up a standard slow speed rail more than all this high speed crap will ever do
I don't think it matters that we both flip them at the same time, they have already been flipped but the result is in both states at once. It is more like looking at the result of the flip. Once I look at the result then your coin result is also set and when you look you will see the same result even if it is an hour or day later. To do another case we would need new coins where the result is unknown and they are entangled.
But some tasks which would be considered simple in Excel are impossible in Libre.
For example, I can create a dashboard in Excel fairly easily, that pulls tickets from the helpdesk SQL database, and gives me a histogram of ages.
And some tasks that are simple in Open Office are impossible in Excel. Your example of a dashboard pulling things from a database is pretty uncommon. My example is of doing a search that looks in every worksheet in a spreadsheet. It Excel you have to manually repeat the search in each tab. In Open Office you can specify if the search should be in the current worksheet only or should look in each one. That seems much more of a basic use to me.
On a stick, each movement takes a move forward then a move back to center to stop walking off the cliff. It takes twice as many finger movements to get the same action.
You must live in a world without auto-centering sticks. There's no need to "move back", not even taking into account the ability to move slowly in the first place. And how is it twice as many movements when you say " tap the forward key very quickly."
Besides, the thumb is your most cabable finger.
It still takes more movement to get the stick back to the center than it takes to release a key.
I understand that the sticks are technically analog
Not technically analog, they ARE analog
and you should be able to slowly creep forward, but their response is so bad and the range of motion is little that it is quite difficult to move just enough to creep forward,
Your thumb is quite cable of making tiny movements. Now admittedly as a PC gamer you haven't got the skills/practice to do it well, but it's quite easy actually. Just because the stereotypical "ham fisted PC gamer who hasn't touched a joystick since 1981" can't do it, doesn't mean that it's a problem for anyone else.
Yeah, they are analog. But they are too small. You have to move it less than an inch to get full speed. Trying to get a slow speed is impossible because there is slop at the center. You start pushing forward, nothing happens yet, push further, still nothing, then while you are trying to creep forward the barrel comes crashing down on your head and your are dead. You are better off just going full speed.
That is also why headshots are impossible with stick and the games have to help out with aim-cheats.
Stop right there. I wasn't talking about FPS aiming now was I. I was talking solely about movement. The mouse is a fine pointing device, but it is essentially "easy mode", which is why you like it. In the transition to mouse aiming, mouse aiming was considered "easy mode for casual dudebros" compared to the games that came before it.
Headshots shouldn't be easy if we have any pretense towards realism in games, they should be HARD and rare.
You don't seem to realize that all console games have to have aim helpers when people play with the joysticks. Your target is greatly magnified so even if you are off to the side of the person it still counts as a hit. Or the crosshairs are moved onto the target when you get close enough. When a mouse player competes against a joystick player on a game that supports both methods of play, the mouse players completely dominate the game. That is the main reason that the XBox and Playstation does not let PC players play on their network with the console gamers.
The stick moves when you move it over, and keeps moving even though the stick is still, you need to move it back to center to stop the movement.
You're doing it wrong. "You" don't move it back to center. it moves itself back to center.
Sure, just release your thumb. You still have to move it back to center to put it back on the stick again. That will always take more time than not moving anything will take.
The stick also has a maximum speed that is way slower than mouse movement.
It depends on the game settings. What, you didn't know you could change the speed of the right stick?
So it's a trade off of being too fast or being too slow. With the mouse you have both at once.
With a quick jerk of the hand you can do a 180 spin. On a stick it is move over, wait, wait, wait until you have moved a full 180, then move back to center. Way too slow.
Again, you're doing it wrong. You don't move it back, it moves itself back.
You will not be able to move the stick again until you move your thumb back to the center. I don't see how your thumb can be in two places at once or can teleport from one location to another without movement between them.
Some parts of the brain aren't even fully developed until much much later. Isn't it something like early 20's when the logical risk assessment part starts working correctly. Teenagers aren't even fully developed yet, so I don't put much in a 12 week old brain.
Let's not stop halfway! If abortion is murder, then a miscarriage is manslaughter. We need to start jailing all these women that have a miscarriage so we can stop this horrible epidemic of killing the young people.
But nobody has been able to figure out how to charge 5 cents to view a news article using credit cards. The transaction charges are higher than the amount to be charged.
There is also the fact that one is a loan while the other is a cash transfer. Once you buy something with a credit card you then have to pay the credit card loan off. When you buy something with bitcoin you have already transferred your money directly to the person you bought from and do not have a loan to pay off. They are different in many ways and bitcoin does solve some of the problems that credit cards have been unable to solve.
Being able to realise your smell, the sounds you make and your tracks are what your opponent are using to track you and using that knowledge to deliberately mislead them is not a simple task.
I doubt the cognitive abilities of a mouse are really that advanced.
Probably not something that a mouse does, but these are exactly the things that a fox will do when trying to outsmart the dogs chasing him. Coyotes do things with their tracks that confuse people or dogs chasing them also. It can't be too advanced of a thought process if there are already natural animals that make use of it.
What would work best is analog stick for movement, but mouse for aiming. This is sometimes called hybrid-mode by some PC and console gamers who prefer it. It works VERY well.
I could see this working well. I am looking forward to the Steam Controller just for this reason. I joined the early order for that and in a couple of months I will be able to tell if it works as well as I hope. The fact that you can configure the touch pads to be either joystick or mouse style movement looks good to me. Left will be joystick movement for walking or if the game does not support that it will be 4 way direction keys with the right pad being mouse style movement where you don't need to recenter to stop movement. I can't wait!
Not "kind of annoying wankers", the ARE wankers, because anyone with some experience knows that for movement analog sticks are better than keyboards.
How can anyone seriously think this. To walk right up to a cliff without falling off you need to tap the forward key very quickly, or even crouch then tap forward to move slower. On a stick, each movement takes a move forward then a move back to center to stop walking off the cliff. It takes twice as many finger movements to get the same action. I understand that the sticks are technically analog and you should be able to slowly creep forward, but their response is so bad and the range of motion is little that it is quite difficult to move just enough to creep forward, it is much easier to slam it all the way up then quickly bring it back to center. That will never be as quick as a tap on a key. That is also why headshots are impossible with stick and the games have to help out with aim-cheats. The mouse moves when you move it and stops as soon as you stop it. It also moves faster when you move it faster. The stick moves when you move it over, and keeps moving even though the stick is still, you need to move it back to center to stop the movement. Plus the whole while you are moving back to center the movement is continuing at a slowing rate. You end up cycling from left side of headshot to right side and never get centered on the head itself. Twice as many movements needed. The stick also has a maximum speed that is way slower than mouse movement. With a quick jerk of the hand you can do a 180 spin. On a stick it is move over, wait, wait, wait until you have moved a full 180, then move back to center. Way too slow.
This is exactly the thought that the police have. It is probably straight out of the training manual. I read an article recently where the shooting training had a bunch of little kids to shoot at. They didn't want the police to hesitate when shooting at a little kid. And I mean a real kid, not some 18 year old that the media calls a kid, more like 7-12 year olds. You have to be ready to kill the kid first then search the body for the weapon, or plant one if he only had a phone on him.
This said if you want to avoid police force shooting people because they take precautions then go and think hard about need of firearms everywhere and this well organized militia that is supposed to protect you from tyranny
You mean, the police shooting the kid because he was holding a candy bar. Yeah, they gotta protect themselves from that!
Even a squirt gun does not mean the kid deserves to die. The cop can wait until there are bullets flying at him. Then he knows it is a real gun and can fire back. Killing innocent civilians so you can save your own skin does not make you a good person, or even a good cop.
I think we need instant death penalty for any cop that shoots someone who turns out to be unarmed. In fact, they should have 10 years prison time for even pulling out their gun before bullets from the other person fly past their head. Only then is it justified for them to "defend" themselves. Perhaps we need more people sniping cops from a distance and taking them all out. Reading about a DC style sniper that takes out cops day after day would certainly make me happier. Perhaps we need to go the route of England and take their firearms away from them. They can still be deadly with the tasers, but it will give them the idea that they are not being responsible with the power given to them.
Don't forget that ignorance of the law, on the part of the officer, is a justified excuse. (recent court finding, possible Supreme Court) They can arrest or even shoot you because they thought there was a law against whatever it is you were doing. When they find out later that there is nothing illegal you are still jailed or dead and the cop gets an extra bonus for outstanding service.
Wow, you are going to call me stupid. You really make yourself look like a complete moron then! You did see that it is tech growth, not all employment, right. Oh, perhaps that is too complicated of a sentence for someone as brain-dead as yourself.
And really, I was simply referring to the fact that having a large growth is a misleading measurement since starting out small makes it much easier to have a large growth. To double 1 person takes only 1 person. To double a million will take another million. But then, doubling your stupidity would take more energy than exists in the known universe, so that is pretty interesting!
Yeah! When you start out really close to zero it is easy to get a big percent growth. If there are 1000 jobs in a state and 100 new jobs are added, that is 10% growth. If you only started out at 10 jobs and had 100 new jobs created, that is 1000% growth. Look how well we are doing.
That's nothing! I can already do that with the added experience of having one of your eyes poked out. Plus, if you have a scene with no animals or wind, you can display it in a very portable manner with no electricity needed.
