The best part is, when you want to send a message to someone that cannot be forwarded and self-destructs, you first have to send it to this Dmail company's server in the cloud where it will exist forever.
And since most of the people using this "non-forwarding self-destructing message system" will be people sending threats and harassment to ex-girlfriends, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this entire thing is one big honey trap.
Some people giggled, therefore it is a joke and complete work of art, and therefore copyrightable. Nobody can use the word "peepee" without express permission of me.
I'm sorry, but "PeepeeTM" has been trademarked by my penis. Any unauthorized use of the word "Peepee" or the color yellow is strictly prohibited.
Thanks for the explanation. This is not a joke then, just a quip.
A "quip" is a witty remark. This is a banal remark.
That someone owns the copyright to it is a huge black mark on our intellectual property laws.
Here is an example of a quip:
"I was walking down the street and Jehovah came up next to me and stuck his hand in my pocket, trying to steal my iPhone. This is how I know God is on my side. When I caught Him in the act, we had a laugh and decided to go laugh at the people coming out of the health food store after having a juice cleanse, knowing they'll die young, probably from being so gullible."
Because everyone knows that the real eggheads use pipes...
I notice a couple of the guys in that photo are puffing on cigarettes. It's hard to imagine today, but the guys at NASA mission control probably had ashes all over the equipment.
My first job was working in a TV studio, and it was not uncommon for the director and technical director (the guy switching and fading between cameras) to have cigarettes dangling from their lips. (By the way, this was on the Bozo show), and I would regularly see Cookie the Clown having a smoke too.
Modern Warfare and Command & Conquer: Red Alert will probably not be approved for sale in China.
I was going to add Sleeping Dogs to the list, but I hold out hope that "Why don't you have a pork bun in your hand?" will someday become as important a cultural touchstone in China as it has become in the West.
The point being that you didn't see anyone from the space program that sent guys to the moon and brought them back alive trying to draw attention to themselves with flashy shirts with scantily clad ladies on them. But back then, the people who were part of the space program didn't think of themselves as special snowflakes.
I care. A dress code sends a message about a company's culture. The stricter the code, the more that company cares about having a professional appearance, and less about professional performance.
Is that why these guys were never able to land people on the moon?
you brought it up simply to cause a flame war though. it has nothing to do with the point being made.
Let me take you through it step by step:
The "point being made" was,
One of the things that caused a lack of sleep for Jefferson was the long line of people at his door (at the original Whitehouse). Most of them wanted jobs or handouts; he didn't mind the ones who actually came to him with policy concerns.
Then again, his government was mostly limited and operating by the rule-of-law, so not too many people felt he ought to be murdered.
And my point was that the "not too many people" who felt he needed to be killed were entirely made up of other privileged white men, completely ignoring the fact that there was a very large group of people who would have been happy to pull the trigger if it meant freedom for themselves and their families.
It's easy to consider yourself safe because of the rule of law when the rule of law makes sure that the significant portion of the population that is being held in slavery has no recourse.
Jefferson and his cohorts were able to sleep well at night because they owned black people who were doing all the hard work and were physically unable to get into that "long line of (white) people at his door" who were looking for jobs and handouts.
Sometimes, a "news story" is so obviously a press release that it's almost embarrassing.
Here's a couple of news stories that hit the wire in the past few days, so you tell me why you think there's suddenly a story about how we're all going to live in a robocar utopia:
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling 1.4 million cars due to a security flaw that leaves the vehicles vulnerable to complete takeovers from hackers.
Yes, over a million popular cars can be commandeered by hackers from thousands of miles away.
This is a response to a Wired investigation demonstrated how hackers can exploit a security hole in the UConnect software installed in many of the company’s popular new models. The software has a flaw can be used to take control over the vehicles, cutting transmission and endangering/scaring the bejeezus out of the people in the car.
People who own those millions of cars won’t all get shiny, new, unhackable versions of their rides. They’ll just get a USB stick. FCA’s recall will give people a software update on a USB that fixes the security hole discovered by researchers.
If his company hadn't been hacked, and their filthy dirty laundry thrown in the street for everyone to see, would he still be talking about their need to find a "path to recovery and morals"?
I wish him nothing but a lifetime of regret and penury.
So you think Thomas Jefferson's slaves were all just thrilled about being indentured workers? You don't think that maybe one or two of them might have been a little put out about the whole "I own you and you and your children will work for free for me forever" stuff?
I doubt all of them got the Sally Hemings treatment.
I get that some level of executive security is probably a good thing, but does the Secret Service really need 1,500 people on staff?
The Secret Service protects more than the President. Plus, they're responsible for enforcing counterfeiting laws, which probably keeps them kind of busy, because counterfeiting has to be one of the most tempting crimes of all.
The reason this story highlights Obama is because he's got that pesky problem with his skin color that makes him a target for domestic terrorists like this guy:
They weren't doing dissections and studying structure. i.e. no anatomy.
Yet somehow, there are Chinese anatomical drawings from the third century C.E. that show "meridians" that are almost an exact replica of the human nervous system and "vessels" that are a near exact replica of the circulatory system.
Seriously? After reports of government lawyers watching porn on their office computers [cnn.com], nothing really surprises me about Federal government. Especially given the nincompoop we've twice elected to run it.
Um, it happened under the previous nincompoop.
Read the article you linked. The "events which took our economy to the brink of collapse" occurred in 2008. The current nincompoop was sworn in at the end of January, 2009.
Don't you hate it when your partisan flamebait goes up in a puff of smoke?
Lighting some dried up weed on fire doesn't make electricity. Perhaps you should be a little more cautious with your last sentence?
It's back to high school physics for you, son. We;re talking about tiny levels of current (which according to acupuncture theory is all that's needed, I've learned), but heating one end of a piece of metal (like a needle) can definitely produce electricity. (See "Seebeck effect" and "Peltier effect") If you watch traditional acupuncture being performed, you'll see right away how the "circuit" is created.
[And before you show your ignorance again, yes, the Chinese were doing pretty advanced metallurgy before Jesus grew a beard]
"Thermoelectric power is the conversion of a temperature differential directly into electrical power. Thermoelectric power results primarily from two physical effects: the Seebeck effect, and Peltier effect.
The Seebeck effect is named after Thomas J. Seebeck, who first discovered the phenomenon in 1821. Seebeck noticed that when a loop comprised of two dissimilar materials was heated on one side, an electromagnetic field was created. He actually discovered the EM field directly with a compass! He noted that the strength of the electromagnetic field, and therefore the voltage, is proportional to the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides of the material. The magnitude of the Seebeck coefficient (S) varies with material and temperature of operation.
In this equation V is the voltage difference between the hot and cold sides, T is the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides. The negative sign comes from the negative charge of the electron, and the conventions of current flow. A negative Seebeck coefficient results in electrons being the dominant charge carriers (n-type), whereas holes are the dominant carrier (p-type) in materials with a positive Seebeck coefficient. The majority charge carriers are said to move away from the heated side toward the cooler side. Minority charge carriers move in the opposite direction, but at a slower rate due to phonon drag and charge carrier diffusion rates. Thus, both n-type and p-type materials are required to realize current flow in a device.
Things to remember about the Seebeck effect:
Solids have charge carriers that facilitate the flow of electrical power The charge carriers come in two flavors negative electrons "n-type" and positive "holes" that we use to keep track of mobile positive charge in "p-type" solids Heating one end of a conducting solid pushes on the charge carriers concentration and the distribution of charge creates voltage that can be measured this is called the Seebeck effect The Peltier effect was first discovered in 1834 by Jean C.A. Peltier, for whom it was named. Peltier discovered that whenever a circuit of two dissimilar materials passes current, heat is absorbed at one end of the junction and released at the other. This is a linearly dependent and thermodynamically reversible process, unlike Joule heating which is irreversible and quadratic in nature mean. This process forms the basis for thermoelectric cooling and temperature control, these are currently the widest applications of thermoelectric devices. "
But I bet it was a nice bong, that brought joy to many.
Oh, it was a sweet bong. I got a contract from DARPA to make more, but I encountered some problems in the manufacturing stage because I was too busy watching Cartoon Network.
