Wouldn't it be great to be able to look over how a politician obtains and spends his money? Public officials should lose their privacy while they're in office and all their money transactions should be able to be scrutinized.
Certainly....but we all know that they won't be the ones being scrutinized.
Since your extremities cool before the rest of your body, I'd expect there to be a significant temperature swing in the fingers (depending on the weather of course).
What I mean is the problem isn't social networking but every commercial interest that jumps on it. Share us on Twitter! Follow us on Facebook! Dig us! Reddit! And it's everywhere and practically replaces actual websites except with more tracking.
Thank sir/ma'am! You're the ever vigilant patriot every country needs to keep an eye on the most southern continent. We must keep watch in case the Emperor Penguin makes his move on the rest of the world!
So it's like when Calvin's dad tries to explain to him that they had color photos back in the day but the world was in black&white which is why all old photos are in black&white?
The absolute worst part is that other companies saw the success of the "spam like hell and don't worry about the consequences" business model and immediately followed suit, so that all games on Facebook feel the need to post 4 or 5 messages a day to your wall/friends wall/friends messages/email/sms/friends email/etc...
My point is that URL shorteners obfuscate their content.
Yes, the host could go down and all the content goes down but now there's another link in the chain with all the weaknesses and none of the strengths. If they mirrored the content, the story would be different. In their current form, it's just something else to fail.
TFA says Greenland is subsiding due to mass moving to North America. I was thinking that due to the melting, the crust would be rising and thus hiding the apparent ice loss.
Being so small means that they could put a parachute on that. Of course, you'd have to do stuff like not blow up or catch fire midflight or play chicken with a mountain and you'd have to have some way of activating it, possibly via automatic means.
Nah, it's about Fox News. By balancing out mostly truth with mostly fiction, their audience doesn't know the exact state of the union. Because they don't know, they don't languish into depression and become unproductive. However, given their politics, if they did become unproductive there, we would be better off and more productive overall. It doesn't bother me since on a long enough timeline, everything collapses into one state.
Oh, I agree that it is insensitive to make merely a commercial venture of a game about a current war rather than one with any specific or artistic meaning (for or against).
However, good taste and understanding isn't a requirement when it comes to expressing oneself. There's lots of messages and ideas being shared that I don't agree with but to use my disagreement with them to ban them would be flagrantly unconstitutional.
Never mind how loud the music would have to be to drown out the siren but ffs, it was at night and she didn't notice the flashing lights? Was she blind and had severely impaired hearing?
And yeah, it is sad to die in such a preventable way and it's sad that the only words I can think of in response is "How do you fuck that up?"
If you can't hear, you look. You look left, you look right, and you look left again. You watch for headlights coming up ahead and from behind. You keep watch on turns, parked cars, bushes, anything that blocks your view of potential traffic.
You know what would be great? Allowing kids to use their cellphones during gym. More specifically, dodgeball. Just amend the rules that as long as they use the phone, they can't go out and remain a viable target.
I don't think it would take very long to catch on but then I'd be one of the ones more interested in throwing the balls.

Plus, there's those one-time, chemical hot packs.
Temperature is not a good condition to use.

All the better to find underage, partially clothed self-portraits.
Is there ANY place that isn't jumping on the god damn social networking bandwagon?

Age of Minority Report?
Well, at least not until they compile a database with everyone's confirmed identity and a gaggle of biometric data to go with it.
(Don't you hate it when people answer their own question? I do.)
It's great, isn't it?
Anything that devalues Facebook is good.

Not only that, any links via URL shorteners are rendered useless if the service goes down.
It's got what microbes crave!
Great! I've always wanted to dial the wrong number!

Very interesting...
Nah, what they hate and what they like alternates in a completely random fashion.
Except for clothes shopping. They may say they hate it but that doesn't stop them from inspecting every garment in the store.
Unless the mountain blinks.

Creating armies would take too long and would be rather hard to conceal.
Much easier to mess with our computer systems and just sit back and watch as we tear each other apart.
And if they get married and stop having sex?

Holy fuck how do you not notice an ambulance?!

Was that a real one or a funny "haha- hmm, that makes sense" one?
'cause if it's the latter, I have to go with "Warning: This device/machine/object does not have a brain. Use your own!"

Congrats.. You got uprated.... (dun dun DUN)
