Of course, it would be useful to educate these ignorant fucks that throwing acid at people is wrong in the first place. There are three crimes against humanity in this case, the person getting disfigured by acid, the person being brought up in an abusive religious system that left him thinking this was appropriate behaviour and then the abusive religious system choosing to blind him after.
It's medieval right through; ISIS get the flak but Iran aren't terribly different.
When later on you find out that the accused was actually innocent, if they're in prison, you can let them go and write them a check to at least partly compensate for the injustice done to them.
Sure, because dancing looks so great with no sound.
No, I post the video with all the background noise, including the cheering and the music, and various copyright holders flag them as infringing and restrict distribution, add ads and/or mute the video.
I don't appeal, because copyright law favours them. Instead I tell people that copyright is broken and it's a fucked up situation and I let DJs know which songs get muted on Youtube so that those songs stop getting played in competitions.
FTA : "Hanes told me that his videos are technically "monetized" on YouTube"
So he has told YouTube to generate revenue for him from his videos, which is very different from Google generating revenue for themselves from their own platform. Facebook wont give you money for posting pictures.
So technically he is using his drone sourced footage commercially.
A lot of mechanical watches look like a lot of quartz watches - leather bracelet, sapphire glass, coloured face, solid metal back. Projecting electronic content onto the glass above the face doesn't stop it being the same mechanical watch with the same look and feel it had before you made it 'smart'.
Or go for the sapphire glass back to show off the mechanical movement. Or have a combi watch, with mechanical time on one side and smart screen on the other. Or build the smart capabilities into the bracelet (Breitling have bracelet embedded functions on one of their quartz watches).
High precision mechanical watches can't match an atomic clock radio time signal updated quartz watch for accuracy, but they have their own beauty and attraction. Why lose that just to add 'smart' features?
I don't wear my watch when I'm sat down, let alone overnight. So a wirelessly charged watch could be charged every time I go to bed without any additional hassle for me.
That's still a lot longer than 18 hours though, and I'd probably stick with one of my other watches when away for the weekend.
It's nice being taller and they make your legs look great. Although both of those increase your chances of a romantic encounter all of my partners have been rather shorter than me, so really she needs to be in the heels not me.
I want the mechanical watch with the smart screen overlay.
Kairos are already taking pre-orders, using third party "swiss made" movements, although I'm not enamoured with their initial range.
Hyetis promised a watch in December 2013 and it still hasn't been delivered. They're now promising a second model before they even deliver the first, but my confidence isn't high.
I can't see it being too long before Breitling get in on the act with a quartz offering, and it's almost inevitable the Swiss watch industry will start to offer hybrid smart mechanical watches over the next few years, and I'll definitely look out for one.
Surely an automatic winder can be used as a battery charger ?!
My favourite watches are often fucking expensive, but that's because they're bloody difficult to design, to build and to invent the necessary alloys for, and so the price includes all the R&D, the rarity/cost of the raw materials and the time of the master craftsmen needed to put it all together.
I love the engineering; make it available for £20 and I'll buy a dozen different variants then buy more for friends.
No, it's basically down to how you can safely use the watch before the seals go.
Basically you need different ratings as you escalate from walking in the rain, doing the washing up, swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving and "proper" diving. You also need to take into account peak water pressures; the rating is measured as a static object in water, doing something like diving into a swimming pool subjects the watch to significantly more water pressure during that impact than the subsequent floating on the surface.
Losing water sealing over a few years doesn't sound too unreasonable. For a 300 euro watch repair is expensive, for a 10,000 euro watch it's a cost of ownership that people should budget for.
To be fair, the opening price range isn't unreasonable relative to other mass produced high function relatively elegant watches. There are a few manufacturers playing in that "hundreds of dollars" space, although I'd prefer something like one of the Citizen radio signal solar powered titanium watches than the equivalently priced 18 hour battery life Apple option.
It's not the cheap end of the market though, and there's a massive amount of choice even under $20, especially if you're willing to try binary displays or other non-standard time mechanisms. Sure, they're not smart watches, but they tell the time.
I'm getting over 700Mbps sustained over my wifi. HD streaming is completely not an issue, and MKVs start up on my TV (which is only 802.11n so peaks at around 220Mbps) near instantly.
Shit, my wifi is significantly faster than my ISP broadband speed and I have no issues watching 1080p video from various sites. Methinks someone's doing something wrong.
Any company that is not being ran by incompetent twits are upgrading their AV equipment to use either Crestron, Extron, Barco or other Wireless video system The days of VGA are long gone and HDMI in the table are at an end and becoming extinct rapidly.
Or indeed any company that's already got an established estate of AV equipment and doesn't want to replace it all unnecessarily.
Or indeed any company that's using actual TVs as screens and wants to buy cheap TVs rather than spending three times as much supporting an arbitrary wireless specification nobody in their company's even fucking heard of.
Granted I work for a company that installs this stuff, I programmed a board room's av and automation system last week that has more money in gear than 90% of the homes in the state are worth. Next week I am doing a cheapie $100,000 install.
See, most of us work for companies that think $100k is a fuck of a lot of money to provide a service currently met by a $300 tv.

I live in society, where transgendered people are accepted as people.
Out of idle curiousity, how would one go about fellating free market capitalistic property rights?
Are there video tutorials available?
Can't find any references to Saudi Arabia. Iran however:

Not any more, in the UK.

Yes, and it's even successful in assuring that those wrongly convicted never in fact go on to commit a crime anyway. It's a win all around.
Sure, because dancing looks so great with no sound.

That's a common misconception.
Sorry, what is? Nothing you posted contradicted anything I posted.
Unless the media industry notice 20 seconds of background noise that matches one of their algorithms, then they'll claim copyright and add ads.
(Major issue for my YouTube channel as all my videos are footage of people dancing, and that tends to involve music)

Gameplay is king, but the game mechanics are relatively trivial to write.
Graphics are fluff but damn there's some serious engineering involved.

You shouldn't regret reading anything of his though.

Chocolate! Thank you for chocolate, and the watches.
Hmm. http://choconet1.com/chocolate...

So basically, safe in the rain, don't wear it in the bath.
Not too unreasonable, although it doesn't compare well to jewellery watches (e.g. my solar powered watch is rated to 200m, my mechanical to 100m).
Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Not to mention it makes the very expensive regular watches seem affordable in comparison.
No. The very expensive watches have more digits in their price tag. Before the decimal point.
They're almost exclusively mechanical too, although there's invariably an element of bling involved.
Why not require an P-52 Mustang engine on it too
Mainly because there was no P-52 Mustang.
Mind, a Rolls Royce Merlin equipped laptop would sound glorious. I'd buy one, if I could carry it.
