Well, Mexico is south of America! Everything south of America is a South American country, everything north of America is a North American country. That leads to everything east of America being an East American country and everything west of America being a West American country. See how simple that makes everything.
China uses tanks. Russia uses ricin and polonium. The US poisons them (Brittany Murphy) and tells the news that it was a drug overdose, or takes control of their car remotely (Michael Hastings) and drives it off the road at high speed. I am pretty sure there are many more very suspicious deaths of people that knew too much or asked the wrong questions. Hell, they can straight up shoot them and claim the officer was in the right as it was defensive or merely accidental.
They think they are immune to all sorts of repercussions. But past use of medical (vaccine) personnel to catch a terrorist (Osama Bin Laden) has led to large numbers of medical people being killed on sight. Now we are looking at the failure to permanently wipe out polio due to a short sighted administration and their desire for quick results.
Yeah, and getting the remote from the coffee table without having to sit up from the slumped back reclined position would be much easier with the force also. And that's to say nothing of the bag of chips all the way in the other room.
In Han's defense though, he does go on to say he has not seen any evidence that the force exists. Jedi had been almost wiped out at that point.
Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. [Kenobi smiles] Anyway, it's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
Your right, they look different. If you squint your eyes then a flare is formed. There are also flares around lights when your eyes are filled with tears. So, if the movie depicted them like these, would that be ok?
Although valid and logical, the points you make will not make pot legal, it will be used to make alcohol illegal.
That has been tried. It didn't lead to a good situation and the country quit that effort eventually. That is what we are seeing is going to happen with pot. Making it illegal hasn't had a good outcome for the country and going the way alcohol did would be better.
You are talking about hackers, who as a group are well know for exploiting holes and flaws in systems to get to outcomes that they desire. And then you mention drug tests that you have not seen failed by these hackers. But you have really just shown yourself to be an narrow focused, non-curious, non-hacker yourself. It does't take much research to discover how easy it is to pass a drug test even having smoked recently. Hackers would be the first group I would think of as one that would be particularly prepared for such a situation, since they are typically anti-authoritarian or anti-establishment.
Yeah, if you are in the scene you will see a lot more usage, no matter what it is you are looking at. Even driving a model of a car, once you get a new car you start seeing them everywhere on the road. As for people smoking, plenty do, they just don't advertise it. I have even seen friends of a friend light up a hitter right at the table in a bar. Plenty of people smoking cigarettes in the room and if you blew the smoke up high, people didn't really notice. Or if they did, nobody cared.
In Chicago, they passed a law a few years ago saying the cops can just write a ticket for small amounts of possession. In practice, most people are still arrested and sent to trial.
I'm pretty sure there are two more Tinker Bell movies you are missing. There is the winter land one with Tink's twin sister that lives in the snow (Secret of the Wings or something) And there is a new Pirate Fairy movie also.
There aren't a universe of light-saber wielding lunatics because hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
And it seems to me that in the first movie (ANH) they stated that anyone could learn to use the force. That it flows around and through everything. Perhaps that was Yoda saying that about the force between the land and the x-wing. So the midi-crap was just stupid.
I have not heard of the 3D being used for control purposes. It would make sense that something like that could actually cure people's vision problems. I have read about eye exercises you can do that will allow you to stop wearing glasses after lots of training. I have also heard of pearl divers from some island country that always have perfect vision due to the muscle development they learn. They are capable of adjusting the lens focus so they can see clearly while under water. That is pretty cool. So using some sort of 3D like system (perhaps with depth focus rather than divergent tricks) could be used to train the eyes and cure people.
First of all, I never stated that there was any problem! I was just pointing out that there is a difference. Look at this from the summary:
By combining stereoscopic 3-D, 360-degree visuals, and a wide field of view—along with a supersize dose of engineering and software magic—it hacks your visual cortex. As far as your brain is concerned, there's no difference between experiencing something on the Rift and experiencing it in the real world.
And just because your eyes don't focus properly, doesn't mean they don't focus at all. If your eye lenses were rigid with no focus then even with glasses you would only see things clearly when they are at the proper depth for the focus of your lenses. Like when taking a picture, the thing in focus will appear clear while the stuff closer or further is blurry. Glasses would just add or subtract a fixed amount to all focus depth that your eyes do. For glasses to help someone with a fixed focus lenses the glasses would need to change focus like the camera lens.
And in 3D displays, weather head-mounted or a screen, that is one of the things that throws your vision system off and can induce the eye strain or headaches. Your eyes diverge to the proper distance, but your lenses don't focus at that distance. It is the very reason why experts say people under the age of 7 should not use 3D systems very much, if at all. The vision parts of the brain is still developing and tricking it in this was can cause it to learn the wrong way of seeing the world. This would end up causing the person to have bad vision and need glasses for the rest of their life even if genetically they might have had fine eyesight.
Can't your eye lens make a lens flare? So rather than a camera man floating around in space, it's you, the spectator, that is floating around in space.
I can think of one difference right off the bat. In the real world your eyes converge on the distant object and each eye's lens has to focus to the distance that object is from you. In any 3D tv or headset, the eyes will do the converging part, but nobody has figured out a way to trick the eyeball into focusing at the correct depth yet. In a TV or screen, your eye will focus at that surface. In a head mounted display the focus depth may be out a bit from where the actual screen is due to the way the lenses in the head mount change the focal depth of the apparent display, but your eyes focus there and not on the 3D object you are looking at.
That, or there are some very top secret biological weapons at some secret lab in Area 51 or somewhere. And since the higher-ups in government know about this weapon, and what would happen if it were to escape, they practice for such an eventuality.
I also like how he points out that we let people die to keep the secret of the cracked Enigma machine. So saving a life makes it worth it, unless letting them die is more worth it.
They want to build the gigafactory to supply batteries for their own cars as well as have extra production to sell to other car manufacturers. If they stop making electric cars, then it would seem the need of a gigafactory would be reduced and a regular old factory would be enough. Besides, the other car manufacturers already have their battery suppliers, so who is to say that the new Tesla battery factory would succeed in the market if they had to rely on taking business away from the other battery suppliers to stay in business. Sometimes I don't understand how some people think or fail to think.
The link to the original article can be removed. But that does not mean that Google has to remove links to new articles that summarize the data in the original article. Each new link would have to be looked at separately by the courts.
Perhaps he should have just changed his name. Then any search done on his name would not be linked to the public newspaper reports of things that happened under his old name. Unless the government posts all name changes online somewhere also, then that would be indexed and would be discover-able.
Obivously, this example is weaker, but I think without a presence in Europe, it would be (more) difficult to do business there - potentially giving rise to any competitor who WOULD be willing to go through with this and would therefore be in a better position to serve the markets here (don't think about the search itself, think about the advertising that makes their income!).
Unless the European people would prefer to use a search engine that actually has some relevant results to give out. Then they will prefer to use the US search engine rather than the limited and useless European search engine. And spending time and effort to prune much of your database out and ensure it does not get re-indexed does not sound like something that would put a company in a "better position" as you put it. To me that sounds like a large cost and since your results are incomplete you are actually at a competitive disadvantage also.
Here is a Ted Talk on how you are probably tying your shoelaces wrong. Did you know there are two versions of that knot. One is the strong version and the other is the weak version. Most people learn to tie the weak version. The weak version also causes the bows to align along the long axis of the shoe instead of lying across the shoe as it should.

Don't you know the laws don't apply to the guys running things. If the FBI want to hire a stoner, they can hire a stoner and nobody can stop them.

Yeah, but after a few months, most people will be dead and the situation will be very different.
That, or there are some very top secret biological weapons at some secret lab in Area 51 or somewhere. And since the higher-ups in government know about this weapon, and what would happen if it were to escape, they practice for such an eventuality.
And with a more realistic practice plan someone might notice when it turns out to be a real attack that has the feel of an inside job.
