If it's rounded it will lose nearly all of it's power at distances exceeding "half the fucking planet".
If the laser is one million times stronger than it needs to be to blind someone, and only 0.001% of that reaches the poor bastard, he's still going blind. The human eye was not designed for light that can punch through steel.
In a society that is trying to criminalise littering and file sharing, that is not a pleasant prospect.
It's not the society, it's the people you vote for. Why do you keep voting the same two parties over and over again? (Before I get flamed, do you really think there's a difference?)
The Epstein-Barr virus, now there is a successful virus.
Did you just call the flu an unsuccessful virus? I dare you to show me two people in Europe or North America who never had it.
However, I'm still not afraid. TFA is right: this is one fast mutating virus. So much in fact, that every possible mutation has appeared already. I'm too lazy do back it up with math, but the numbers should be interesting.
If it doesn't start playing immediately (i.e. YouTube), nobody who hasn't heard of slashdot will watch it.
Yet the same people will get in a car, go all the way to the mall, and give money just to watch the same movie in a room full of loud people? Am I missing something here?
If you want to check to make sure your child isn't abusing his freedom you can ask for a detailed bill and check the hours, and if he has been abusing his freedom you can then yank the phone until he has proven to be responsible enough, given that you have enough patience.
That's waaay too complicated. Prepay. He used it up, he won't send another one till the end of the month.
If you give them an unlimited resource, it's not abuse if they use it without limits.
POV, also MOC makes you dependent on Trolltechs toolchain, namely QMake and Qt-Creator
KDE3 used autotools, KDE4 uses cmake. There are integration plugins for Eclipse and Visual Studio as well. You were saying?
The build speed is terrible
That's true, if you include everything. But that's not because of moc, that's because Qt is huge. On my first project, I got a 3x faster build by only including classes I used. It also helps if you separate your functionality so none of your files have to include more than one additional Qt module (The first one being QtCore).
Qt is big because it isn't just a GUI toolkit:
QtCore Core non-graphical classes used by other modules QtGui Graphical user interface (GUI) components QtNetwork Classes for network programming QtOpenGL OpenGL support classes QtScript Classes for evaluating Qt Scripts QtScriptTools Additional Qt Script components QtSql Classes for database integration using SQL QtSvg Classes for displaying the contents of SVG files QtWebKit Classes for displaying and editing Web content QtXml Classes for handling XML QtXmlPatterns An XQuery & XPath engine for XML and custom data models Phonon Multimedia framework classes Qt3Support Qt 3 compatibility classes
QtDesigner Classes for extending Qt Designer QtUiTools Classes for handling Qt Designer forms in applications QtHelp Classes for online help QtAssistant Support for online help QtTest Tool classes for unit testing
QtDBus Classes for Inter-Process Communication using the D-Bus
despite (to my knowledge) any actual benefits noted by any reputable scientific source beyond the placebo effect.
The good old placebo effect has healed more people than any of your fancy science. If she uses crystal rocks and she's healthy, why do you care?
If you have a headache and a placebo pill that only works 80% of the time, take 10 and be done with it. Fun fact: said placebo pills are actually banned in the US. I don't think I'll ever understand why.

That's not the head, that's a puppet. Money is controlling this abomination.

Make a movie. Kiss a pair of tits and it's rated M. Chop 'em off and it's PG13.
Show a penis and it's R. After all, it's not like half the children actually have one.
organisations almost, but not quite, entirely unlike the MPAA
Fixed that for you.
I could dig more, but at this point it's not worth it as I've already been flagged troll.

Causing blindness is not a combat function of this weaponry;
Define "combat function". I guarantee you that this thing will hit more eyes than targets.
Causing blindness is not a combat function of this weaponry; it's a side-effect of the other side trying to subvert the weapon.
Yeah, those morons should've made their tanks from black holes. (Hint: if you can see it, it reflects light.)
In most cases there won't even be anybody around to get blinded.
This thing can blind someone on the moon.
A bullet through the eye can cause blindness too, that doesn't make it banned. Intent matters.
Compare "tactical nuclear weapon". Hey, we only wanted to take out that factory!
It's safe to assume no one will be standing next to them.
Ahaha. This is light we're talking about. It the missile is high enough, "next to them" means half the fucking planet.
I meant the reflections. Are they willing to blind anyone within eyesight?
So how is it working against mirrors?
Everyone knows you can't ride a bike in your regular clothes. You have to look like a total moron.

- absolute P2P traffic volume is not dropping, it's just very slowly increasing
Why is it increasing only very slowly? Have the movies gotten smaller? The games perhaps? The downloaders fewer?
Or the more likely version, that ISP's are holding them back. I know they do it with me.
It was one of those things that didn't seem that stupid at the time, like DOS or Twitter(I'm predicting here).
Twitter will be seen as stupid for all eternity.

I'm sorry sir... but according to your latest cat scan, your death is imminent.
Wow, a trustworthy cat! Mine always pretends she's starving.
Hell will freeze over before you'll see Qt embracing GObject.
Let's take C, pretend it's an object-oriented language, and then port our already much better real OO toolkit to it! That'd be awesome!
I wonder why nobody did it before...

Oh, and it's a real cash cow, too. Don't make me laugh. The only way to make money from GPL'ed software is to sell support.
