Do not fall for the propaganda that the civil war was about slavery. Read up about it and you will find the north had slaves also. In fact slavery was already phasing out in all locations due to economic reasons, the invention of the cotton gin being a big one. The real reason the civil war was fought was to stop the southern states from leaving the union. It was the first big power grab by the federal government. After that point we were no longer a collection of states that ruled themselves but worked together in union. Instead we became one country which is ruled by people who have no knowledge or interest in the local conditions of any area.
Maybe it is just a good demonstration of how bad the name Blu-ray is? If the question directly preceding the Blu-ray one was asking what kind of fish Nemo is, then seeing the name Blu-ray will make you think of some sort of ray, perhaps blue in color. If someone invents an airplane and calls it the spotted octopus, it isn't the fault of some people taking a stupid survey that they get the question wrong.
Actually the Michelson-Morley (Morley-Miller actually) experiment is interesting because the results showed there to be some form of ether. The amount of the drift was different than what was expected. It wasn't until many years after Miller's death that Shankland took the very extensive amount of data that Miller had accrued from the many-many reading and threw most of it out completely and found one small set of a dozen readings or so that he could claim were wrong. Now everyone is taught that the results showed no ether the whole time when it was really a fraudulent scientist trying to help out Einstein's theories that changed the results of that experiment.
A strictly vegetarian diet can be very healthy as long as you get the occasional insect larvae in with your grains. I read of a vegetarian society that was very healthy for a long time. When they changed the way they stored their grain with much more effective cleanliness with their food supply they started having a large outbreak of illness through the population. It was traced down to the insect larvae they were eating. Certain vitamins are very hard to get from a very strict vegetarian diet.
Exactly, let them play. What they are saying is to let them play with things like mirror books. They will see patters there and their brain will learn things while playing. Then when the time comes, years later, to actually learn the math, their brain has some sort of reference to relate to that makes it easier.
I can certainly see the point that stealing a phone that will be disabled will prevent the victim from calling the cops. On the other hand, the theft deterrent in car radios has done a lot to make that crime pretty much disappear.
It is just possible that someone accidentally damaged a piece of equipment. Fear can lead to putting it back and not telling anyone it was you. If you had logged it out in a book, then you are forced to confess as the evidence that you did it is quite plain. If someone truly wants to cheat and break equipment, then you are correct. I would think those people would be rather rare though in a lab situation.
I don't really understand why people are keeping their Bitcoins in these online "bank" accounts. The point of Bitcoin is that it is digital cash. It has the negatives of cash, easily stolen, along with the positives, hard to track. Being a form of cash rather than a credit account allows you to store it on your own hard drive or USB drive. Hell, put it in your Dropbox and it would be safer than having it in one of these online Bitcoin "banks". The money should only be in these online accounts for the time it takes to change it from US$ (or whatever currency you use) to Bitcoins or in reverse. It should be treated as an exchange not a bank account. I don't go to a currency exchange in another country, change my US$ to Pesos (for example) and then leave the money there in the exchange for months at a time.
So then, would it be legal for me to put up a fake cell site? I think not. if it illegal for me to do it, then it is illegal for the cops to do it, unless they get a warrant! plus, you can tell that the fucking pigs themselves know it illegal with how much they try to lie about what they do and keep it a secret. isn't it them who keep saying "if your not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to hide."
No, this is like saying if you invent a new beam energy weapon that can cook your eyeballs into a goo and fry your brain until you die, it isn't yet illegal to use it to do thing that don't break current laws.
But the police are doing something illegal, that's the whole point.
What about all the other people who have phones in the area that connect to this Stingray device. That would be an invasion of privacy and without a warrant to allow them to use it to track down the one criminal the police have become a large highly armed criminal organization. I guess we can all sign NDA's that give us the right to shoot any and all cops we see on sight. That makes it legal, right!
So the current state of affairs is that there is no law (yet) concerning use of these devices, and some in the government are arguing that no law is needed. There being no law, law enforcement did not want to rock the boat by revealing the devices to the courts so that there might be a new law made (either through legislation or court precedent). The ACLU is arguing that there should be a law prohibiting their use without a warrant..
That is like saying if I invent a new beam energy weapon that can cook your eyeballs into a goo and fry your brain until you die, it isn't illegal to use it as there is no law against using newly invented beam weapons to fry people. That is just plain absurd! It's illegal to tap people's phones without a warrant. Just because you are using a new piece of tech to do it does not make it legal!
I would add the skill of being able to learn. There is a certain ability to learn that some people may need to get a grasp of before reading things on their own will produce anything useful.
I don't know if I would trust a site that does not know how to add simple numbers. They list the percentage chance of dying before 110 and the chance of living past 110, and the two percentages add to 100%. So that means there is no chance of dying during the 110th year. This same thing happens for each age of 106, 107, 108, 109, and 110, so if you can't die during each of those years, I guess you would be expected to live forever.
The difference is that you can see someone filming with a smartphone, but with a GG you'll have to guess. This makes it come across as "sneakily" recording, which is only a hair away from voyeurism.
The fact that the street performer did not "see" the 3 or 4 people recording the performance with their phones would indicate that you are wrong. The Glass is much more visible, that is why people are upset about it.
If the law can force a bakery to bake a cake they would rather not bake, and force a photographer to take photos they don't want to take, then how is it ok for people to boycott a business they disagree with. Shouldn't we all be forced to do business with all businesses since discrimination is wrong. I don't shop at Walmart because I think they suck. Is it ok to force me to shop there. We all just end up becoming slaves to our governmental masters!
And then the gay couple asked for a completely gaudy giant dick shaped cake. And you don't have the right to refuse. Now your business is associated with giant dick shaped cakes. How is that fair to that business?
Just for clarification: I am gay friendly, I just think it is wrong to force someone to create something they don't want to. Whether that is the photos, the cake, or a horrible looking website that is covered by the BLINK tag. If I don't want to do the job you should not be able to force me. That sounds like slavery to me.
I want to start out with saying that I personally have no problem with gay people. I have friends past and present.
But I feel forcing someone to do a job is not going to lead to good results. When the photos come back all out of focus and crappy, what then. You lost your one chance at getting good photos of your wedding. You cannot just reenact it for a new photographer. I guess your stuck trying to sue to get your money back. It seems to me it would be better to just find a photographer that wants your business.
Can I hire an architect and tell them I want a building shaped like a giant dick fucking the American flag and they have no right to not take my business? Wouldn't it be discrimination if they don't want to do dick shaped building? Or they don't agree that the US has become a giant asshole and should be fucked by a giant dick. They aren't booked up, they just don't want to do a dick fucking the US building, that's discrimination.
I don't see how it is right to force someone to do something. So some gay people want to force a photographer to take pictures of their wedding. For one it is stupid to want to hire someone that does not want to do the job. You can't force them to take good pictures. What if they all come back crappy and off center, now you are going to have to sue them again.
What comes next, forcing someone to do a job they don't even do. I have made my own websites in the past. The couple of times I have tried to make them for someone else turns into a clusterfuck as they wanted the worst blinky flashy crap that was going out of style even at the time I was doing that. I ended up dropping them as I could not create something I felt was that crappy looking. So now is someone going to force me to make a crappy web page for them when I am not even a web designer. Where does it stop.
Whatever happened to "we reserve the right to refuse service". What if the photographer was already booked up. Now you can sue them and claim it was because you are gay that they didn't take your business. I can see that a grocery store or some such should not be allowed to discriminate and stop certain types of people from entering and peacefully buying products. But hiring someone to perform a service like wedding photography is quite a different deal.
I always wondered how they could say that the moon helped protect the Earth from impacts. Anything it deflects away from the Earth would be countered by the same number that it deflects into hitting the Earth.
If there were 10 competing Netflix-like companies that combined to have the same traffic throughput, would Comcast's network be able to handle it any better? They would be just as overloaded if the traffic their customers were demanding came from multiple locations as it does when most of it comes from one.
It's really just a file that you copy back and forth between the two. I have recently placed it up on my Google Drive location as a backup in case my phone is lost or the microSD gets damaged. Then I could copy it down to my PC and in the KeePass there just open that file with the same password and keyfile and everything is there.
As for Lastpass and the cloud storage? I can see that the file is an encrypted blob, same as the KeePass file, but what about while it is opened to look up a password? Do these cloud based password systems open it and display all your passwords in the browser? That would be the point I would be concerned with. Plus, the password to open it would need to be sent and could be captured to be used later by NSA or by Lastpass employees. If the encrypted blob is sent to your computer and opened locally, then there would be less concern of interception and it would seem similar to keeping the KeyPass file in Dropbox or something. But in that case I would not see how the local PC can open it without local software, unless it is a javascrip app running in the browser or something. I guess I am not very educated in how the cloud based password storage works since I don't want to trust the cloud to my passwords.
