As if you couldn't make similar remarks about any arbitrary political/social/religious group. Oh sorry, I forgot, anyone in your tribe is a saint, because your tribe is the special one that's right about everything.
Unfortunately we have almost no say over what the shower of cunts that calls itself out government do. We marched in the millions against helping the shower of cunts that calls itself your government from invading iraq, to avoid the cost of billions of pounds and thousands of lives but it meant fuck all. The elite do as they please, and we are totally fucking impotent. There will be no armed uprising that american gun nuts fantasise about, in the US or the UK. And if there were it would just replace one shower of cunts with another shower of cunts. The only solution i can imagine is if enough people learn to stop being cunts that they eventually outnumber them and organically end up replacing them. But most people are cunts, even the people that should know better, so for the time being, we're fucked.
i live in the uk and my local cineworld did this briefly about 5 years ago after a commandment from on high. The staff found it embarrasing and stupid and i remember seeing them wandering in with the goggles on and staring at us for a few seconds then walking off again. They only did it for a couple of weeks.
This isn't new, and it isn't really a sustained procedure of audience monitoring. It's a publicity stunt to make people think they're being watched - make a giant fuss about how they're watching everyone in the dark and hopefully that will scare them into not filming the screen.
They do it long enough to make people aware of it then stop again. Then in another 5 years make a big hoo-haa and break out the night vision goggles again for a couple of weeks.
You seemed to have posted this several times today. I don't get it - what response are you hoping for? If it's mild confusion and wondering what it is that might motivate someone to devote a lot of time to doing this then I suppose I'm guilty of feeding the trolls.
Why can't you spell the word "fucking"? Please read definition #1 of the link you posted. Congratulations, you just destroyed your own argument. Also, please read the wikipedia page for "Scientific theory" (I assume this is what you mean by "scienftic theory wiki") . The first line also directly contradicts the claim you're attempting to make.
In common english, theory means "hypothetical explanation/contemplation/conjecture". As a scientific term, theory is defined in both the references you gave along the lines of "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation". I don't understand why you can't comprehend what I assume you've taken the time to read.
No I'm sure they wouldn't bother with basic safety testing like that and i would expect to see people dropping like flies and multicar pileups a daily occurrence until all people with pacemakers are dead.
Smugness aside, it's a fair point. The Headline is absurd, and the first thing I thought on reading is that would mean you could have a kid and get free wages for the rest of your life, so the headline must be bullshit.
The word "unlimited" has lost all meaning. "Unlimited within X limits" is an oxymoron. "Any amount of leave within the first year" is not. "No further limits within X limits" is also a less misleading way of phrasing things.
This is very true. Another crucial characteristic is being a leader. None of this stuff could have happened without the thousands of people involved all doing their part, and none of them would have be doing any of it without being led by Jobs or Musk. There are not many great leaders. To lead you have to have the drive, confidence and vision which most people just don't seem to be bothered about.
Because no model is ever complete, and at every stage you need to provisionally accept the best thing you have. There was never anything better than the standard model.
I don't know if most of the world is right. - maybe it was just america- because in the UK it was just called Mad Max 2 (no "road warrior" in sight) and we were very much aware of the original film. Here's a link to the international one-sheet quad poster, not featuring the phrase "road warrior"
It's the general principle and how it could apply to any issue of concern, rather than this one example. And it's the number of people that would fall for this that makes them relevant. I don't think it's prudent to dismiss a large chunk of the population as not smart enough to be relevant. Some very un-smart people get into positions of power all the time. There are plenty of harmful myths that stay around even in the minds of people who are generally smart just because they have a plausible venue to be heard.
I think the issue is more that people who don't know better (probably the majority of people) will assume those ads at the top of the search results are just results, since they look very similar, just with a little yellow box that says "ad" under the main link. This box is easily overlooked by inattentional blindness if you're not looking to make sure you aren't looking at an ad.
It's all very well telling people to learn the difference, but most people won't, and that's not just their problem, it's everyone's problem if liars can pay google to effectively come top of relevant searches, since we have to live with people who will be potentially operating under dangerous false assumptions.
Weak or bad encryption is not worse in the situation where the person doesn't care if they're safe, or isn't even aware that there's a safety issue. Which is the vast majority of the time.

Then it makes even less sense.

Oh I see - like people's health records and such.
I don't understand why this data isn't just shared publicly to anyone who cares to inspect it. What's gained by hiding it?

I simply refuse to stop calling Pluto a planet
why?
In the same way that all those black people persecuted the people that didn't want to do business with them in the 50s and 60s
Perhaps you could install an antenna on the roof and repeater inside your house

Explain how this is unethical.
Plenty of things are a bigger worry than plenty of other things. That doesn't necessarily make the lesser of any two worries an invalid concern.
very true
