Someone involved in the movie wanted to visit there, so why not have the movie pay for it? As a bonus, you get to stomp around on your own instead of having to do what those pesky guides tell you to do.
Film crews can be pretty destructive.
This is about people wanting what is happening on the island to be transparent, like it should be.
"Are you kidding me?"
No.
" Several weeks for an impact assessment?"
Yes.
" Does that strike anyone else as a bit over the top?"
Not really. OTOH, I know what is involved in an impact assessment, where you clearly do not.
I will note that I've never been to this island. So maybe there is some geological reason you are aware of when you where surveying the island...?
He is an expert in the species, and wants to be sure their disturbance is a minimal one.
ob. Star Wars joke:
Bleep, booop beedadbee blooeeeuuup.
That really cracked them up in the droid factory.
Yes, becasue banks behave so well without regulation.
So Franklin was against the American way of life too?
Won't somebody please think of the Founding Fathers?
They would. But we're not willing to pay 10% more on the cheap crap they produce for us.
That's
In China? Not really. If you're being conditioned that following the rules is good while thinking for yourself is bad and can even get you in trouble, you eventually end up with a mindset like that.
But don't worry, they're already exporting that success model. We're getting there. And, frankly, when I look around me, how people pay for "services" that hardly qualify as a service because they're too closed minded to even fathom how they could do it themselves for free and at little if any expense and effort, I dare say we're already there.
How very un-American! He could have sold it for 800 bucks, and instead he hands it out for free!
He's been living in Commieland for too long!
1) Contacts.
No.
As a member of ACM, and former member of Mensa, I assure you the people at ACM are far more professional and nice.
I do.
Sorry, but if you aren't checking quotes, you are probably being mislead in most conversations.
1) Looks good on a resume
2) They have actual course to learn something instead of groping around the internet looks for some code snippet to use

5) Research done by professionals
6) Contacts
7) SIGs
8) Scotch? Wait let me guess..you have a beard, and you wear a trilby.
Not that you need to join just pointing out some advantages.
You can keep getting your snippets of VB code from the internet, and I'll keep reading latest research on AI and email the actual researcher with questions.
I'm not an academic, but I am a member of ACM. There is some great content there.
I get more then my money's worth.
It actually seems like it is bad thing.
IF it goes to the UN, it will the be parted to to different groups.
Going to the UN is a way to splinter the internet. So right now, the US does look like the best practical option. Unless you want different countries to dictate the rules for different parts of the internet.
That's the "risk" (among others). But at least you'd test it on a group of people where you can actually see more than just whether the crap kills them.
Then again, it could have the unwanted side effect to unveil prematurely that the crap doesn't do jack but line the pockets of its maker...
egrep patterns are full regular expressions; it uses a fast deterministic algorithm that sometimes needs exponential space. -- unix manuals
