You are partly correct, Generally speaking Psychopathy affects the empathic emotions, hence the lack of guilt. The empathic emotions are also the ones that form inter-human attachment, so they would not be built up to rage by this example to the extent a 'healthy' person would. However they still feel rage, anger, depression ect.
The main problem with this method is generally they use glasses, so the screen are too close to your eyes. This causes a problem, because all monitor based technology goes towards making the image crisp and clear. At that range your eye struggles to focus on the images, causing the headache.
There are two solutions to this problem:
To find a way of defocusing the LCDs to the extent that your eyes believe they're about a inch or two further away.
This guy's solution: however the two beams of light would need to be at insanely acute angles, and you would be needing to sit at the exact right place.
I'd like to disagree with you there. As a recent FOSS 'Convert' as many have so aptly put it I have been tinkering with the version of Ubuntu I installed in August. Unfortunately I haven't been able to put it online yet, and as such have been unable to get it to it's full potential. But Open Office has a Very Good Database program.
It has a reasonable GUI (Which personally I prefer to Access' attempt), serves my purposes well, sure it's inferior to Access in a few ways (not supporting ASP, not quite as user-friendly etc.), but it doesn't have have a lot of the 'quirks' that Access has. Like deciding that my table isn't good enough for my form structure, and insists on forcing me to create new ones with exactly the same information, causing me to lose some of the sample data.
In the majority of cites, and in the suburb in which I live so maby people are driving that it's quicker to walk: No trafic Jams. Also no need to find the keys, start the car, move the cars about so you have the right one on the right part of the drive, no need to find a good place to park/wait without getting murdered by angry motorists.
a learning process modeled on Microsoft's management techniques.
Meaning they'll screw the students, then tell them it's good for them.
This just seems like another way for them to push the m$ computer qualification, which means you can boot up Word. am so glad I'm not one of the students.
You could argue that if I had 2,000 identical DVDs (why, I don't know), and you took one that it wouldn't be stealing, because I still had the DVDs. Every single copy of the song which an artist made belongs to that artist, it's their intellectual property. When buying a CD you buy the right to use that copy. If you download you haven't bought the right to use that copy, and therefore have stolen it.
I'm not here to argue about moral equivalents, and to my point the law is irrelevant anyway. By sheer definition owning the copyright to something means you have intellectual property. If you take their property without permission it is stealing, therefore copyright theft is theft, it's as simple as that.
I belive the wording of the verdict still reads either: Guilty, or not guilty. And *NOT* guilty or innocent. I.E. You have to prove that you Aren't guilty, and not that you are innocent. This is one of the most important wordings in the english language. And because of this wording you still remain innocent until proven guilty.
UN Unclaimed land thingie, somebody owns all of the known universe, bar the sun, and the moon. Once the guy who owned the sun tried to charge the guy who owned the moon the lighting bills, but he told him to cut him off. Sad, but true.
...That all soldeirs get life insrance on the government: They can't get it anywhere else. Think about that when you curse them for having the same rights as you to enjoy themselves when under fire hundreds of thousands of miles away from home.
So if I don't use my cash-back card and pay cash, the merchant pockets the 5% price increase as profit. If I use the card, he gives the 5% to the credit card company who gives me 1%, a net discount over the prices cash-users pay. If the improbable happened, and all credit-card users everywhere boycotted, the credit-card companies would lose the income, but the merchants would have no incentive to cut the prices.
Yes, but it also doesn't drive prices up further either. For instance say you wanted to buy something which costs $10. And you bouht it with a credit card. 50 cent would go to the credit card company. To protect their profit margins the company will drive the price up to $10.50. Say next week everyone did this again. This time the company gets charged 5% of $10.50, which 53 cents. So in order to protect their profit margin they drive the price up by 53 cents. $1.03 difference may not seem like much, but lets swap the $10 item for a $10,000 item.
So you pay for a $10,000 item with you're credit card. 5% gets charged to the credit card company. that $500. The company pushes its prices up to $10,500. A friend of yours also buys it. This time $525 is charged to the credit card company, a price which is pushed to a third friend who also wants this item. You two just cost your friend over $1,000 because you prefer your credit card over cash.
Credit cards are probably the biggest driving force behind inflation, along with pennies.
Very poor analogy; its much simplier to create a plugin software module that build a circuit board. Sorry, not buying it.
Not true, I'm currently studying Electronics for GCSE. I can design an effective chip for most jobs within the hour, breadboard it within a further 1/2 and turn it into a proper PCB within another hour (Not including the PCB printing proccess of course, this takes about 2-3). But I can't program for the life of me, ecept for limited knowledge of Revolution BASIC PIC programming. Its not that I haven't tried either, the closest I get to prgramming is PHP and MYSQL, and they're confusing enough. Creating a circuit to do what you want is easy, programming is tough.

When I was a little kid we still had the generic traks, I think they only got rid of them about 5 years ago. But we had an upgrade to gravity - forget about the electrisity munching 'Power Launchers' The greatest addition to the toy-car racing stuff has to be a small product called: 'Cars go fast' Not an original name, but certainly a true one.
No confusing electrics, or moving parts, just a small section of track, a plastic plunger, and an elsatic band. Just about anything could fit in it, from hot-whels to Tonka trucks, and it had a connector so that you could hook it onto generic track. It allowed you to end up about a foot above where you started, or just make them go really fast, I remember pointing the track out of a first-floor windo and having competitions on how far the cars would fly out of it. Good memories...

Absorb IR, and turn it into heat. What was IR in the first place then?
I think we already have these in areas of London. I don't like them as the may go underground while I'm using them.

This reeks of a anti-trust violation to me.
It doesn't...Batteries are chemical reactions retard.

As you can see neither will be terribly easy

No, It's laziness on the parent's part: what ever happened to walking your children to school: Quicker, easier, and cheaper.
or too smart?
That's "Ye", ye landlubber

technically it's stealing actually, so it is illeageal to download.
thanks for correcting me there. I never realised how stupid the american legeal system was.
