What 'democracy'? I don't know about you but I live in a representative republic. What the summary is describing is an actual democracy so, no, it is not like what we've seen so far as far as national politics goes.
Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?
"Ahhh... yes children. Gather around. Do you know why were on this colony now, hundreds of light years away from the home planet? It was because a company called Apple made rounded edges."
Hey, a rounded edge here, a rounded edge there, and pretty soon you have a wheel!
Now it's the Navy's turn - nuclear, rail, speed and stealth.
They should really hire some people who know Latin though. After the "velocitas eradico" railgun fiasco, I wouldn't be surprised if the motto for this thing is "cavitas pecuniae".
The universe can only be experienced through a single life, no more, no less, so the destruction of any one life is the destruction of an entire universe of experience. For that reason, the "badness" of that death is infinite.
Taking the two implicit premises as true (infinity of the universe and uniqueness of experience), the "infinity of experience" conclusion is fallacious. The universe may be infinite, but any one person's experience is not necessarily so. In fact, I would tend to think personal experiences are finite and unequal.
We sold our house to a Chinese family once. They wanted all the furnishings too, but we declined. Anyway, during one of their pre-sale viewings they took videos of all the rooms.
After they had moved in, they invited us for a visit. We were flabbergasted at the fact that they had replicas of all our old furniture! Here's the kicker: everything was scaled down by about 20%!
Glenn Gould's versions are often the first that people hear. Afterwards, everyone else plays it "wrong".
FWIW, I like both the 1955 and 1982 versions.
I have to admit I jumped the gun with my post. I thought the article was referring software that could score on the fly if you feed it a performance. Never actually heard one, but I find the Zenph "re-performance" concept intriguing.
The Supreme Court ruling on this always struck me as somewhat ludicrous. If Congress does not have the right to set ballpark figures for fines to deter people from violating a law it has a constitutional mandate to pass, then what rights does it have?
This sounds "cruel and unusual" to me. I wonder if there is any authority that could issue an opinion regarding my concern. The Supreme Court perhaps?

Thanks for that.
WalMart and FaceBook offer things that people seem willing to exchange money/information for. You can opt out anytime.
Whatever shenanigans they do pull are done through their enforcement arm, the government. Try opting out of that.

Switzerland perhaps?
Except that the country hasn't splintered or been invaded (although the latter may be down to having a SIG SG 550 in every home).

Number Two: Rainbow trout
Dr. Evil: [pause] Right.
Number Two: They're trout with magnetic sensors
Dr. Evil: Are they ill tempered?
Number Two: Absolutely.
Dr. Evil: Oh well, that's a start.

Is there no "Little Snitch" app out there?

"Thirteen years old is not too old to know everything and not too young to know nothing" What does that even mean?
Quick edit: "Thirteen is old is enough to know you know something but not old enough not to think you know everything."
According to TFA, the sea-level is receding on various spots on the west coast (Seattle, San Francisco). Looks like the country tilting right!
...ought to be enough for anybody.

You don't need to block EVERY user grabbing copyrighted material, you just need to block the casual ones.
I agree so far, but please finish your thought: "(...) you just need to block the casual ones..." in order to achieve what exactly?
It's a Turing machine dammit, not a web server!
Now you can have all the compromises of an ultrabook and a tablet all in one tidy package.

An excess of a non-poison does not make it a poison.
Paracelsus: "Everything is poison, there is poison in everything. Only the dose makes a thing not a poison."

They found a way to invite the citizens to the opening, so obviously they managed to contact them fine. Only too late
That's why I think surprise parties are a bad idea most of the time.

I'd like to volunteer for a month of bed rest a year.
Talk about the Right Stuff...
...for Zenph.
That's why they used hexagons instead of perfect circles.
outgoing, optimistic, easygoing, and have a good sense of humor and a large social network
All I need now is to buy a controlling stake of FB and I'll live forever!
1. The "essential predicate" is "that a punishment must not by its severity be degrading to human dignity," especially torture.
2. "A severe punishment that is obviously inflicted in wholly arbitrary fashion."
3. "A severe punishment that is clearly and totally rejected throughout society."
4. "A severe punishment that is patently unnecessary."
Principle 3, at the very least, seems to apply to this case.
