In french work law, HR employees (incuding basic clerks) are automatically considered as members of the direction and you have the right to be assisted by the person of your choice (including someone not employed by the compagny, such as a lawyer, even if a local syndicalist is the most common choice) whenever you have to interact with them. I never needed such assistance, but I really think it's a good thing that possibility exists.
That's the very idea, they will never tell you do do it or how they expect your logs to be autenticated, so everyone will be on the wrong side of the law and the days some cops will be pissed that he didn't find any weapon, drug or libertarian literature while reading your house, that will be one more of the many reasons he could arrest you anyway.
Ok, if I understood well, you propose a $20 workaround uncompatible with installed base and that probably has an effective reaction time over 5s (unless you apply brakes to your disk, which brings new opportunities to damage it) to their cheap ommission of a $0.50 protection gear that every other disk player manufacturer uses. I think that makes you look stupid enough to qualify for jury duty.
The difference in noise level is itself a very good reason for this upgrade. The Eternal Sonata didn't feel so great when I had the feeling of playing it inside a B17.
Your definition is the clinical death, wich is only a legal threshold based on the medical constatation that this state is most likely irreversible. But on a biological point of view, the tissues are still alive until after the patient is unplugged.
Doctors need that kind of codified definition because the grey area between a functional body and a rotting corpse (and particulary the no return point) are not that well understood.
and BTW, in some cases (for example drowning in cold water), people can seem dead but still be resurected quite a long time (half an hour) after they stop breathing thanks to the lack of oxygen going to their brain (it causes a kind of "emergency shutdown" that delays cell destruction).
Moreover, I'd say that being a genius is not necessarily linked to intelligence and knowledge. To me, a genius is not someone who excels in a field, but someone who bring a new approach to this field.
My best non-scientific example is Harisson Ford. When filming Indiana Jones, he had a scene when he was supposed to swordfight with a tough guy. The stuntmen had prepared the fight and in normal conditions, Ford would probably played one more epic scene in the movie, but he was ill and tired and asked something like "why the f*ck can't he simply shoot him?". That's my layman definition of genius, the guy who comes up with a new but a posteriori so obvious way of seeing things, and most of the time, he needs first to forget how he is supposed to his job (whatever it is) right.
Since 90% of these modern games are nothing more than slightly technically improved clones of the same mediocre stuff everyone else has already overdone because that's known to give a decent ROI, I think that's a good but scarry analogy to the institutional research. BTW, my favorite 2008 game is Braid.
Moreover, they have public recognition in a much larger audience than the few hundred people who would read their papers. Einstein was literally a pop star while many of his theories were still waiting experimental confirmation. One century later, he would have had his own reality TV show (I propose "The Relative Life").
Yes, but it reminds me of something I read about the romans: they managed to dramatically raise the state of the art in almost any science, art or craft known at their time and transfered those improvements to their everyday life, but invented no new field.
I have the impression that the current reserch by mass is similar to the roman situation, it's great when you know where you're heading, but it's probably not that bad to let a few people step aside of the race and explore ideas that have no currently known use, most of the results will be a waste of good brain, but it's hard to imagine we already invented all that can be and only need to polish what we already have.
In France, we don't have the season 4 yet, and the christmass special episodes are never released on DVD, and the season 3 DVD only proposed french dubbing, yes, no kidding, the original audio track was gone!
But he could sue Google (good luck with that, it's more likely that this guy will be fired for the bad press he makes for the franchise), with the words Dunkin Donuts dirty, I get over 200k answers.
Solar systems like our are formed out of the remanents of a nova, and the ratio of elements and isotopes in each solar system is very distinctive, as it is the consequence of the history of its primary star (for example, we know that our solar system has an overabundance of Si). Random distribution could easily explain small variations, but very unlikely go to two orders of mangitude, whereas such a huge difference is in the possible range of the variations between varios stars, and maybe it could be possible to determine its origin by comparing to the spectral signature of our neighbours.
My best souvenir with Quake1 is that it could be played virtually anywhere, even on the amber and black dumb text VT220 terminals we had at school that most of our school mates were not even considering to check their mail, so we were almost sure to have the entire room for our LAN play, even during lunch break, when all the PC and Sparc rooms were overcrowded.
In that context, these simple molecules are probably created by radiation catalized reaction rather than life (it is known to be possible). However, while the place is probably still hostile to life, those organic molecules that will be still around when the place would cool down might become the initial construction set of a new life.
"Is having a static home address (123 Cherry Lane) preventing anonymity in the real world?" As long as you are not required to display it on yourself everywhere you go, no.
"Is that a valid comparison?" Maybe, changing the MAC address of your computer to someone's else (or spoofing an IP address) to do something wrong is similiar to yelling "I am " to the police while running away from the police.
"It seems like the point above could/should be a concern to an average user, retaining your identity?" Absolutely, but there is not much you can do before the police knocks at your door.
That's the common mistake thet the PR that goes around that law (no kidding, they even created web sites) tries to encourage. It really is about not securing one's internet line, something broad and fuzzy enough to strike people suspected of piracy without the need of formal proof (the music industry is behind the law, so yes, it will be the first goal), but also pretty much anyone for any reason of the day.
If one thing reunited the french people in the 30's (that indeed was a very interesting period on socio-political ground with the opposition between a rising socialism in the working classes and conservative middle/high classes, opposition that did not stop during the war and is still a major component of french political life, even if the exchanges are now more polite than they used to be), it was a visceral dislike for the germans. In 1939, The french government declared war to Germany as the consequence to the Poland invasion, but the french army doctrine, inherited from WWI strategies, totally failed against the blitzkrieg. After the defeat, the french government fell, the northen half of France was annexed by Germany and, in the south half (with the new capital in Vichy), the Marechal Petain took the direction of the new government, with no particular initial public outcry, after all, Petain was a former WWI hero and popular nationalist politician. It soon turned out he was also getting senile and unable/unwilling to prevent his government to be overzealous with the german occupants.
Now that this historical introduction is over, I'd like to use it to point out that by "friendly foreing countries", I was mainly refering to GB, USA & Canada, that stood up against tyrany and provided the majority of the troops and almost all the equipment that allowed the french libration during the second half of 1944.
Oh, and BTW, for the particular situation TFA was refering to, France is member of the UE, and an important part of the UE is to have consistent laws between the member countries, so when the european parliament says that a proposed french law is wrong because it goes against the european human right treaty that France has signed, it is good because it means that french citizen that would be victim of that law could seek reparation against the french government in the european court of justice, that has autority to condemn governments (somehow like your supreme court, except that each government only provides a tiny minority of the judges), that's only a good check and balance mechanism at work (going from soap to jury box, and not directly jumping to ammo box as you seem to recommend), and nothing to be Godwinned.
-The three strike is not about filesharing (for which justice would still be competent), it is about not securing one's line properly (to be precise, it is only what can be infered from the extremely and purposely fuzzy formulation in the law, so it can almost be anything, like using an ISP the government doesn't like, which is my case). -They don't have to prove you're guilty since the investigator and the judge will be the same organisation and they'll have a strong incentive to show their efficienty. -You can't technically prove you're innocent, but to be sure, there is no way to even try planned in the law, the best you can do is have your case examinated by a judge a couple of years later (with your computer probably seized for investigation during that time). -As the law is formulated, there is no real requirement to use the two first steps before suspending the line.
Besides, France is one of the 6 founding members of the european steel and coal treaty founded shortly after WWII that gradually extended into the UE and has always been an active (ang generally positive) force in most of the UE evolutions. Comparatively, the UE reminding french government it should not dump human rights to please a few friends of the president is a minor issue that will resolve itself using the usuall box sequence.
There are also many people who, while keeping a day job, do music or videos on their spare time (I personnaly know a couple of them, and am fan to dozen more) and thanks to modern technologies, have access to decent quality cheap production and distribution tools.
MAFIAA are the remanents of a time when the entry bar was so high only corporations could afford it, what they fail to admit is that it dropped so low amateurs can record a CD with their pocket money (of course, there is still a gap between them and major league, but it's no monger major league or nothing).

You are kidding, right?
This is exactly the nerdy demography that has a hell lot of free cash to spend on frivolous expenses.

Let me guess, it was proposed by a guy named Aaron?
Just so you don't feel that bad.

Well, at least, slide rules wouldn't have almost failed at the most important moment.

In the case of Israel security forces, they already have far enough rocks given by the local kids, but they may be willing to buy bullets.
Yes and no.

No, we are winning against our government with the help of friendly foreing countries ...again.
