I like the quote at the end of TFA: “Things that are hostile to China, or not in conformity with the outlook of China’s government, won’t be allowed [under the new rules]” said Ministry of Culture head Cai Wu earlier this year. “We want to open the window a crack to get some fresh air, but we still need a screen to block the flies and mosquitoes.”
I like how they're worried about cracking the window when - given that actual PCs are already widespread - the door is basically wide open for anyone who cares to turn the knob.
Not the same thing. Porn 'stars' sign a contract before they appear in films or magazines or whatever, just like models or other entertainment professionals. Thus there is a legally binding agreement covering who owns the rights to the resulting media preceding any photos or videos being created, which is a very different situation indeed to the one we're discussing now.
People who have no idea what a URL is are a dying breed, just like people who know what a skipping record sounds like. Designing things with them in mind is counterproductive.
I like this post, because its being snarky at someone for not reading things fully while at the same time failing to notice that someone else has already posted the exact same response to GP as this one.
In any given round of RPS, one particular throw will win that round and two will not. That looks like 1 out of 3 to me, but of course I'm no mathematician!
Most early voyagers to the New World knew they were basically heading to a vast mass of untouched wilderness. People going to Mars will be heading for a cold, barren desert with no oxygen, and there won't be any natives to bail them out when they starve either.
Maybe I'm a simpleton, but the one page letter linked to seems to suggest fairly explicitly that NASA was selling the fuel at "full cost" not at any kind of loss, and therefore the claim in the article that tax payers are somehow out of pocket is a load of crap. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Star Trek's Data is poor planning. Why make it want to be something it isn't? Don't we have enough body issues of our own without giving them tour computers?
I'm no expert on Star Trek so I may well get crucified for this, but I thought the story went that the first attempt - Lore - was fully aware that he was superior to humans in every way, and turned out to be a complete and utter bastard. So, they went back to the drawing board and made a new android - Data - that believed being human was awesome (and by extension that he was ultimately inferior).
In other words, you better make damn sure your hyper-intelligent robot has some sort of hardwired mental failsafe in place before you turn it on, or it'll take about 0.01 nanoseconds to figure out it doesn't need us and it sure as hell doesn't need to do what you tell it.
Even if you accept the dubious notion that breedig is a good idea, your polluting of the gene pool with aggressive nutcases certainly won't improve things.
Depends on your point of view. The GOP needs those votes.
No, it isn't. IANAL, however I believe defamation is legally defined as untrue statements that harm public perception of a person or business. If your statements are true, they are therefore by definition not libelous.
If you don't like what people say on Twitter. Don't go on Twitter. Simple as that.
I'm going to stand outside your house, then when you leave, I'm going to punch you in the face. Then, as you lie bleeding on the pavement, I'm going to say, "Well, if you don't like what people do out here, stay indoors. Simple as that."
Certainly not comprehensively so. EVE is just too big and too complex, and even the various roles that divide PvP combat are diverse enough that skill at one doesn't necessarily mean skill at another. Then you've got trading, industry, wormhole exploration, lowsec piracy, the list is massive. It is definitely possible to become competent in some things, it isn't really feasible to be good at everything.
1. The BSA is a private organization, not the government.
A 'private' organization that nevertheless enjoys an extremely close relationship with said government, starting with the congressional charter and extending throughout all the special treatment given to them and their members by local schools, fire and police departments, and particularly the military. People defending them are always quick to claim the BSA receives 'no federal funds' but that's not really accurate since the taxpayer pays for the schools and the schools in turn financially sponsor the local BSA chapter in many cases. So the BSA is a private organization only when it suits them, and it suits them when their true homophobic colors are under attack, oh yes.
This is something that I think most people already know happens. I mean, I get that verifying it experimentally is necessary before the implications can be considered, but it certainly isn't going to raise many eyebrows, is it?

Yeah how inconsiderate, don't you know they need that money to blow up some tents in a desert somewhere.

So... you're in favor of this sort of thing? I can't quite figure out what you're upset about. Do you even know?

Or perhaps he could predict that his next prediction would not come true and we'd all vanish in a puff of logic.
An innovative mod.
I'm not sure you know what the word 'culmination' means.

Laws affect everyone.
Ha! Good one.

Sound good?
I suggest you refer those pedants to Carlin; he'll certainly listen to criticism.
I doubt it, he's been dead for five years.
Nobody is really competent in this game.

In EVE you're the captain, not the helmsman. If you're looking to wiggle your joystick, I'd recommend the Freespace series.

Honestly, with this latest policy one has to wonder what in the world the UK is cumming to.
Yes, or perhaps we could install some kind of giant light in the sky, the position of which would provide an easy reference frame for one's heading.
