It sounds like his archiving had very little effect on the company. A minor inconvenience at most.
"long before ICE became the hated agency it is today."
ICE is a government agency that does the same job now as it did in the previous administration. If people malign it now it is because of their political ideology.
"sort of like a fingerprint" is exactly a fingerprint. "Fingerprinting" is performed on all external skin surfaces. Modern devices can also perform subsurface identification. This is not new.
So they've taken something thing that already exists (digital fingerprinting), shifted the sensor location, and have been granted patent protection as an invention...
I hope there is something super novel that they actually invented, but I can't see it in the patent filing.
Indeed. From memory, there are some great pictures in a section of Adelaide Arcade showing some of it.
Adelaide is rebuilding the tram network. Adelaide had a very good tram network that was also ripped up in the 1950s to make way for cars.
Please explain to the rest of us what that means.
This is the trial that will run based on this new flu vaccine:

The universty's news release on it:
"No you have no right to endanger anyone else with your Republican retard ignorance"
News flash, and the statistics are quite clear on this: The majority of people not vaccinating themselves (who have a voter preference) are Democrat voting.
Don't confuse Republicans supporting having the freedom to choose with being anti-vaccination.
If you could somehow link an occurrence of a vehicle hitting a pedestrian with his user account on slashdot then you'd have a point.
Yeah, nah. Ute does not typically refer to SUV. They are dramatically different vehicle configurations. Nor is it a pickup truck.
From the comments in the article:
Why is it considered "a single act of copyright infringement by the University", and not multiple acts for every time the copyright work is reproduced by the university as it pushes a new copy downstream onto a user's computer to display (i.e. for every website request a new copy is made)?
Civil courts are usually on the"balance of probabilities". Which is a much lower standard than "beyond a reasonable doubt".
They are, however, the measure.
Yes, and...?
On average, possibly, that's why the start of middle age is considered soft. But the point is that generally around the mid-forties it's harder to conceive and many women have already hit the biological brick wall at that point.
No. The definitions provided by the wiki are either 40 or 45 for the start (they are two separate definitions). You are welcome to consider it a soft start though - but the provided definitions don't have a soft start.
That seems improbable to me, as the majority of people won't get access to their retirement benefits for another five years. Additionally there's a hell of a lot of people who retired long after 65.
Well, I guess you have access to google and can disprove it in about 5 seconds.
You can. But... what is the point? You talk about major events that affect lifestyles as being "not the best measure", but instead suggest something completely unrelated to how life is lived such as splitting a lifetime into equal portions is meaningful in some way.
Meaningful to whom? I mean, why would you do that? Why three? Why break it up at all? We don't talk about middle age because we're interested in the passage of time, we talk about it because it's a phase of life, and it would be an extraordinary mathematical coincidence if the phases of life just happened to line up with average-adult-life-expentence/3.
I told you the point. So you can see when the mathematical start of the middle third of your life is. Some people who use mathematics every day (like me), tend to quantify things with numbers. It doesn't "mean" anything other than what it is. You are reading waaaaaay too much into it. A lot of us are in fact interested in the passage of time. Again, it's an arbitrary "phase of life" when you include so many variables that aren't related and don't apply to everyone. To make that clear, menopause is a phase of life, so is puberty, but when you start with a biological phase of life like these, then chuck in some sociological factors as an end point, then you have an arbitrarily defined "phase of life". Arbitrary phases will differ a lot from decade to decade and country to country (which is fine of course).
To talk of middle age the way you're doing is to divorce not merely the term from its meaning, but from the reason the term exists in the first place.
How am I talking of it? I'm being critical of the markers used but that doesn't divorce the term from it's meaning. I'm having a bit of fun examining the term.
Actually, yeah there is. If you start using phrases that are in common use with your own definitions, then people won't understand what you're talking about, and you'll be babbling incoherently without adding knowledge.
If we were to talk about the history of the PC, and I said "It's a shame the PC died sometime around 1992, it was a great thing, and nobody has ever successfully brought it back", you'd be pretty pissed off at me if it turned out I was using the word PC to describe "Computers made by Commodore".
So yeah, you have to at least try to use the same definitions everyone else is doing in normal life. In your case, bizarrely you're the one creating an arbitrary definition, while calling everyone else's arbitrary, when in fact they're using the phrase correctly. Yes, there's some fuzziness there, but that's not because the term is bad, it's because it's difficult to pin down exact dates that describe that middle phase of life.
Yeah, nah. There is not a rule. You inadvertently proved this (of course). You can make up any definition you like. I thought it was obvious (silly me - should have specified) that to use the new definition you must tell your audience of your definition (like I did in my example). So you just redefined PC and now I know your definition of it and we can have a conversation about it. It is that easy, and it is totally allowable. Nothing prevented you from doing it.
Case in hand, the wiki gives two separate definitions for middle age. You would have to let your audience know which definition you are using to have universal understanding. I can add definitions to the nth degree for the time period of middle age and you are in exactly the same boat.
Nice chatting.
Indeed it is a bit vague. There is no official definition and people disagree on what any definition should be.
Why not just use the years for the period that one is writing about?
E.g. "people born from 1991 to 2006", etc. And if the years can't be narrowed down, then maybe the author should reevaluate what they are trying to express...
Thanks...
I did I link the wiki that already says what you are retelling...
Biological markers, like "the end of young adulthood (women's menopause)", combined with sociological markers like "start of old age (retirement ages for pensions, etc," aren't the best measure. Menopause starts on average at 51 years old for women in the US. The average retirement age for people in the US is 60 years old. So women would have a 9 year "middle age" period. Men wouldn't even have a middle age. They would have young adulthood leading straight into old age at 60 (active adult males have fertility for ages as you already alluded to).
My point about the mathematical measure is that you can divide your life into young, middle, and old by thirds. That's all. A simple fact for people to digest when looking at the provided definitions from the wiki.
Lastly, the wiki simply points to other people's arbitrary definitions. Anyone can define it anyway they like. There is no rule in life that says you can't make up your own definition....
Young adulthood is the period of life when you could play computer games all day and hang with your mates.
No so young adulthood is the period of life when you have to work all day and no longer have time to play computer games, instead building a massive library of Steam games that you'll play, one day, and always having to put off hanging out with your mates
Middle age is the period of life... etc., etc. you get the picture.
The wikipedia entry says 40 to 60, or 45 to 65, depending on the authority.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Middle age mathematically starts at about 28 years and lasts to about 57 (the middle third of your life if you die at 85).
