Yeah it seems like only yesterday where whole OSes fitted on 10k.

Google is definitely the company I want making the OS that will be in every fucking electronic device in my house, because they're so serious about my privacy.
Patent trolls are like pimps without the cool clothes and '72 Riviera with fur-lined windows.
They both make their money off other people's work.
I googled the life out of this and could not find them. I did find a company by that name in Panaji, Goa, India, but I do not see how they may be related. I'm puzzled.
But they have a YouTube video, so clearly this is all on the up and up.
Their name is Total Recall Technologies. I've heard about them decades ago
And there have been references to goggles or headsets that provide virtual reality since at least the 1930's, so if you're going to sue someone for taking your idea, you might want to make sure it wasn't someone's idea since way before you were born.
There is absolutely nothing in the Torah, Talmud, or Bible that condemns child molestation.
And right on time, the contingent from 8chan is heard from.
You might want to look up Matthew 18:6. It sure sounds to me like Jesus had some idea of what to do with people who mess with kids. Although I think dismemberment might be a little extreme.
The lesson for the US in this is one that New York, a very Irish and Catholic City and State, learned. You do this by legislative authority, not juridical. The use of judicial fiat just creates anger and inhibits the building of consensus. It isn't something WE did, it's something THEY forced on us.
As you say, New York did actually pass same sex marriage legislatively.
As did Illinois, Hawaii, Vermont, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware. Maine, Maryland and Washington approved it by electoral referendum.
There might be a good reason for the Supreme Court to make this uniform over the entire US instead of doing it by election referendum. You really don't want to have people voting on who gets Constitutional rights and who doesn't, and you don't want someone having rights under the US constitution in one state but not in another. We tried that once and it led to all sorts of trouble.
The way the US is doing it isn't about agreement, it's about power.
Well, maybe. It could also be about the fact that money has made the US electoral system no longer an accurate reflection of the will of the people.
And it's not even about referendums, because referendums don't even make it to the ballot without big money getting behind them. And candidates? Forget about it. There's a money primary that happens before you even get to find out who's running.
Today I was reading an article about how statistically, the positions of Bernie Sanders most accurately reflect the opinions of the American people. His position on each issue going down the line are supported by more Americans than any other candidate from either party. You think he's got a chance to be elected? Not as long as the superPACs are allowed to finance the elections.
To be honest, I'm not sure any US election will ever again be a reflection of the will of the people. Elections are just more reality television now. No matter who gets elected from either party, most Americans are going to hate them because that candidate has nothing to do with the will of the people.
The Duggar Family is adamantly opposed to gay marriage because it's a sin against God and an abomination. Just for the record.
Teddy Ruxpin wasn't considered creepy
When mine started telling me to kill my neighbor with the dog that pees on my amaryllis, I thought that was a little bit creepy.
In the end, it turned out Teddy was right, though.
Thank you, friend. I think I've chosen to go with "The Captain" as in Captain and Tennille. It projects the proper note of authority and sportiness.
Yes, Amiga was miles ahead. By then I had a decade with Apple ][ and Mac
Windows was sold to business. It had been said that no CIO would get fired for buying IBM. Well the mantra was shifting. Buying Windows was safe for Fortune 500 decision makers. According to conventional wisdom, Mac & Amiga were for hippies and weirdos.
Windows was the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) in the purchasing equation. The generic hardware and software were relatively inexpensive and all the hackers were offering dBase solutions for businesses. That combination was a nightmare for the business that just wanted results, no hassles.
However, I am questioning the quality of your water treatment process if this is actually a problem.
"Quality" and "design cases" are two very different things. Water treatment processes need to be carefully designed for the exact things that get flushed into them. A lot of assumptions are made for local municipal waste streams, and you often see advertisements taking care of the rest (i.e. don't flush cooking oil down the sink). Hence you end up with interesting cases like refinery waste water treatment plants producing water so clean you can drink it despite having inputs of arsenic, mercury and all the nasty bits of crude oil, but muicipal waste treatment plants producing stuff you don't necessarily wish to discharge anywhere near your drinking supply.
In short, you can treat out microbeads. But it would require a lot of investment into upgraded / changed water treatment plants across the world. It's easier to just ban the things that have very little benefit in the first place.
If you use hosts based blocking you end up nuking 99% of what you hit with using a typical browser. Best of all it also stops crappy little ads in apps, reduces your phone's data usage, and no need for extensions.
Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to work.
