I didn't change my behviour because there are terrorists everywhere and I have nothing to hide and thus nothing to fear. The government said this is the best course of action for my beautiful young children who need to be kept safe.

If I choke on my own vomit after this post will it be covered by healthcare?

Given the mass of their clients it stands to reason that there would be a gravitational anomaly causing cars to speed up the closer they get.

Ahhh then clearly there is no problem here. Please move on to the next Slashdot article.

I use the Lynx browser you insensitive clod.

Why do you add "friends" that spam you?

Facebook has 1.44billion active accounts and that includes countries which have no access to the internet. Given the current stats of the number of people around the world who are connected it stands to reason that someone in the western society would have a Facebook account even if they don't actively use it.

Samzenpus wasn't thinking anything, he was relying on statistics and surprisingly many of us see the photo just fine.

Given the limited number of possible start / stop cycles a subway will experience along with curves in the track and a standard response expected from coming into and leaving a station (I'm guessing 5Gs would be a bit much for anything other than hitting another train), I'm going to say the answer is probably far closer to 92% than it is to 0%.

What makes you say that? A typical app that exposes this data for the user will demand access to accelerometer and the internet (for ads). It logically does not follow that they'd have access to any other data unless the user gave them such access.

That's an obvious solution until you try to call someone, though I fondly remember my highschool days of prank dialling random numbers and having conversation with some interesting characters.

Or we could just stop raising a country of sexually reclusive prudes who are ashamed of their own body and freak out at the through of seeing nipple.

Funny side anecdote: I was in Bad Hofgastein in Austria skiing and after a long day on the slopes I went down to the wellness centre for an evening of sauna. There was a British woman shouting at the receptionist that it is absolutely unacceptable that she was kicked out for wearing swimmers in the sauna area. There were a lot of naked men and women standing around quite bemused.

31-ET, applied correctly, goes a long way to fix the problems 12-ET has rendering pre-20th century music correctly. When this is not a viable option (as with most keyboard instruments), that's what unequal well temperaments are for. Meantone can be very nice for Renaissance and some Baroque but gets to be pretty rancid for Bach and his contemporaries.

If you deny enharmonicity, meaning E-sharp isn't equivalent to F-natural or any other note, and F-sharp is a different pitch from G-flat, then there are essentially an arbitrary number of notes per octave depending on how you want to generate your scale. There are seven uniquely named pitch classes no matter what kind of scale you're working in, meaning diminished scales and other octatonic scales must have a cross-relation in them somewhere (a F-natural and an F-sharp, for example).

So, I'd have to vote for microtonal, the only option that encompasses all of these possibilities simultaneously.

Oh, I think it's clear what benefits gay folks get from being able to marry someone of the same gender: it's a two-fer: not only do they get to marry the person they love, just like their straight friends, family and neighbours, they also get to drive narrow minded bigots like your good self to apoplexy. Hopefully a few of you will get sufficiently outraged to keel over, which will be great for the gene pool as well!

When times are hard, people tend to go back toward the "community" , group together to weather better the storm, a group is less likely to fail if individuals fails if other fare better and compensate. Thus the trend toward socialism/communism and other similar politics which tend to favorize the group and the lowest worker classes. It is just plain logic on the individual level.

I think the founders also feared the power (both militarily and politically) of a large standing army. If the US is invaded, armed locals operating as militia can either harry the invaders or supplement the small professional army for local engagements.

In a true democracy the crimes of the government are the crimes of the people. It's hard to sit by and say how innocent the people were in all this while they lined up to claim their welfare, even if welfare is in the form of lower tax rates than other EU countries enact.
