I'd have sued the crazy ass cop just for saying that. He could have drawn his weapon if they gun replicas and not obvious... But 2seconds from shooting you BEFORE even confronting you on it thats messed up. Endangerment to the people, have his gun revoked. (I say this being close to a number of cops who average drawing their weapons once per 25~30years... but i'm in Canada so)
I have lost faith in/. Have we fallen so far that we have stopped modding up jokes which require a degree to understand, i thought that was one of the founding principles of this site.
"2TB hard disk drive, which should be plenty of room for even the biggest data hog, the experts speculated."
Who in this day and age would say 'that should be plenty' man i'm looking at having a few hundred bluray-sucessor movies i'm sure that'll be over 2TB. Silly people
And in any case, once a country becomes united, as you admit happened in 1950, the internal separatist power can't just say 50 years later "We want Out". Or should Hawaii claim the right to leave America because they were separate once (30yrs ago)? Can the Ojibwe and Cree leave Canada? Should the ainu retake Japan?...
Point being it works both ways. The only rule i could think of was who has had the area longer in recent times. Also i made no distinction between prc and imperial china for a reason. My goal is to show which areas/peoples were together and separate. The area the prc currently runs has historically also included the are tibet is currently in. Hence they should be together.
Man i'm tired i read Sonoma County as 'that demon county' as it is in japanese. Also i thought Sebastopol was somehow related to interpol. I think i should go back to bed.
Yeah it bugs me no-one watched more than 30seconds of the sermon. And they just go with it, even here on/. While i suppose an above avg # have noticed these things i hoped for better coming from a more educated crowd.
To keep up appearances. They stated originally upped border security was in response to 911 to keep terrorists out. Since it was a stupid idea mexico was later said to be keeping the borber hoppers out. Canada was left with no real reason to spend billions of dollars on a fence. Hence it gets 1 drone to patrol a 8891km border.
Thats silly. Considering 1,000s of news corporations will be there i'm sure MANY of them will report on w/e they see fit in china. Unless by major you mean fox news. Reuters, BBC and aljazeera will feel no qualms reporting on China. Reuters being the largest news source on the planet..... i'd count it in.
"Robotics is an entirely different issue. There are already robots that can walk and run. Granted, there are none that can handle obstacles as well as a human but these problems will get worked out in time. There's no reason to think otherwise."
Robots are definitely more able than i am getting from toronto to new york. Walking is a horribly artificial challenge especially bi-pedal. Research on bi-pedal robots only started a few years ago (in earnest) and we have already seen big advances).
Now where timeline and evolution is concerned it took evolution 400 million years to get from arthropods to mammals. Humans made the carriage in 100BC, 1800 we had steam railways, bicycle in 1860, motorcycle by 1890, airplane by 1905, rockets by 1926, 1950 we make computers (5000ops), 1960 hardrives made and we launch something into space, 1970 ram invented we hit golf balls from the moon, 1980 Dos 1st pcs pioneer 11 reaches saturn, 1990 internet invented hubble telescope launched, 2000 space station half built supercomputers reach 10,000Gflops. Evolution has got nothing on our current and increasing speed of advancement. I'm sure we'll surpass ourselves soon enough. The human brain does 100Pflops... current super computers are at 1Pflop... meaning computers will overtake the human brain in processing power before 2020. I'm sure cognitive ability will follow shortly after.
And once work-arounds for the things vista breaks have been made. IPX is an example (vista fails at old lan games). And hopefully workarounds for some of the crap that vista does.
Meh, we see google stand up for protection of privacy and other good things waaaaay more often than most companies. I don't see the point in bitching about the guys acting suspicious while the competition is at about the same corruption level as US congressmen.
I can't hold back.... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/ . I'm sure pretty much an engineering student picked at random could have made a better transformers movie. And by engineering student i mean any lifeform that qualifies as sentient. There might be some truly good art out there... but theres also ALOT of crap. It is hard to say who would do better in film making. However, for non-scifi non-fantasy novels the nerd crowd might get beat down. As well i believe formal training is required for painting/drawing, or a significant amount of time (one thing all engineering students lack). Certainly, engineers have a better chance of doing art students jobs than arts students have at doing engineers jobs lol. I wouldn't bitch though as most of the world realizes this which makes an engineering degree worth way more in almost any field.
Eh, the bush administration changed what was considered to be 'dangerously polluted' seeing how they know better than the scientists. In the 30seconds it took to sign that paper certainly more than 2500ppl were fated to die.
h4rm0ny notes... The Dutch government has distanced itself from the film, fearing Muslim backlash. A million Muslims live in The Netherlands. Wilders's party, which controls 9 of 150 seats in the Dutch parliament, was elected on an anti-immigration platform.
I dunno if anyone else noticed this but that line seems a little silly. There is a difference between fearing and not wanting to offend. Who says the dutch government fears this at all. Rather the government isn't totally made up of bigotted assholes. I like to think this as a possibility.
As for the video i want to see Wilder release a video about how Jewish people are violent and ruining the country. Just to see the reaction. But its perfectly ok for an MP to make a public video about his dislike for muslims. Yay racism...
Thats the problem with religion, everyone interprets things to thier own whim. God kills all of the sodomites in genesis... actually instead of going over the 1000s of acts of violence i'll point you to http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/long.html . You know god does order man to kill women and children since the fighting men werent enough? But thats not killing infidels, no its killing sinners, unbelievers and their families. Christian God is obviously so much better. Now lets you post a link to a good 100pages of bloody cruelty in the koran please while i'm sure it has as much gore as the bible it irks me you didn't cite your baseless conclusion. Not that it matters since its JUST a book. God damn religious people are blind >.
Make a deal w/ the city and put them on telephone poles, They already have power and phone line access plus decent LOS. So maybe around a few hundred dollars for every 4 blocks? + about as much maintenance as phone aka not much. Supplement that with existing wifi from coffee shops/unis/mcdonalds and customers in home wifi. I don't think a standalone company could easily do it. But existing providers could to supplement in-home connections.
Nonono China has poured billions of dollars into to Tibet to keep them stfu. They built trade routes to the area which is in the mountains 3700m above sea level. This was not a place that was easily pulled out of poverty. They have no sea link, not much would have changed. And heres a timeline for tibet:
~600 Tibet did not really exist, archaeologist find tibet-burman indistinguishable
600~800 The tibetan empire - Which during part of this time also controlled China (1st showing their link of being the same country)
800~1000 Tibet exists seperate from china
1000~1400 Tibet controlled by Mongols/Yuan dynasty, part of china this whole time....
1400~1600 strife/ mongol control
1600~1700 dalai lama controlled tibet
1700~1800 under chinese control, together they thwart attacks from nepal nearly the whole time
1800~1904 under chinese control, europeans were banned from the country
1904~1951 tibet signed a peace treaty with the brits, effectively defecting from china
1951~ chinese retook the area
Hmmmm so from this point in time you can never count back the years and have a point where tibet was under its own rule more than chinese. @ 1904 its close, chinese rule only beating it out by a few years... even though it was a british invasion which caused the seperation. @1600 its 150yrs seperate, 250yrs together. Earlier than that there wasn't a whole lot of seperation. Tibetans have no valid historical claim over the area. Its like saying Israel is entitled to the area even though it had never really been independant in past. Its just silly.
lol *fail*. But i goto waterloo so that's ok. I'd mod you up if i could. As a white guy i can comfortably say going here has brought my japanese skills up and english skills down to a point where they are around the same level.
They should be making deals with current access points for better coverage. Thats how a real wifi network will work. 1000s of access points. Especially McMaster! I could connect to the McMaster wireless from my place (20min bus ride away) wimax can't claim this. Attempting to work wifi like cellphone towers will not work since it wont have the coverage with a few towers. The problem is coming up with another business structure means change, a thing companies refuse to do.

That and humans ruin everyone else's fun.

No but since your interpretation is more interesting than facebook i'll pretend that its really the case.
