Yeah, where is Obama's birth certificate?
Yeah, check it out:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/site...
We have here everything
- multiple layers on a supposed "scan"
- strange shadows
- strange mixing of color and b/w parts
Good enough for the American public, so it seems.
It doesn't matter that it's obviously fake.
After all, 10 or 20 million people honestly believe that your president was actually born in Kenya, simply because someone made up a preposterous tale that they desperately wanted to believe.
I've checked out the birth-certificate directly from whitehouse.gov - and it's also obviously fake. - And it doesn't matter that it's obviously fake, nobody who matters in the US cares. And those who care are just insulted as racists.
Of course that doesn't establish that he was born in Kenya (unlikely), but there must be a reason why they faked it...
I'd say there's maybe a 90-second window (at most) for anyone with an average smartphone camera who want to gather evidence of a launch with this missile system.
With several thousand soldiers usually having nothing better to do (and also having the order to) watch the front - on both sides - that is ample time to take a picture.
And in fact it is also ample time to have some paper trail in the chain of command - again on both sides. Because a large missile starting will get reported when it happens near the front.
Smoke trail or not, the complete absence of any reports of a rocket starting is indeed evidence that indeed no rocket started there.
You must have been sleeping for the last 20 years, because that is exactly what I've heard numerous times in the 90s.
Then Linux started to dominate webservers. (late 90s)
Then Linux started to dominate supercomputers. (early 00s)
Then Linux started to dominate embedded systems. (mid 00s)
Then Linux started to dominate cellphones. (early 10s)
Now Linux is starting to dominate tablets.
Yes, Linux is not (yet) dominating desktops - but even without the desktop, the number of markets Linux dominates right now is pretty impressive. That's not hobbyist.
Lately, OpenGL got a lot of performance improvements, so (hopefully) that situation will improve.
social justice warriors
Yeah, fuck them for even thinking about changing the status quo
The media, the politics - the whole power-structure just loves these self-hating sick social justice warriors. They ARE the status quo.
Actually no, it's not easy. Laws are made so numerous, contradictory and complicated that there exists quite a large group of people who make a living with that - they are called lawyers.
The media loves Obama and many people are (literally!) raised by TV.
Well, the not-so-gay-friendly 1960's USA was able to put people on the moon, while Obama's politically correct America is not even able to put people into orbit. Bush promised a moonshot. Obama promised a Mars-mission. Currently LEO-capability is promised for 2017. Let's see whether the 2017-promise will hold, but I'm not convinced.
Well, outside the sex and gay-obsessed Anglophone world it isn't.
What hostility to Russia?
I think it was Hillary who said that Russia has no right to have an influence on its Georgian neighbour, while of course the US, being several thousand miles away on a different continent does have a right to have an influence on Georgia.
Now the same thing in the Ukraine: American-financed NGO destabilize the country and stage a coup d'etat against the president because he is too friendly with Russia.
Well, Nigera, Kenya, South Africa, and many more countries have cancelled all flights. But Obama said that he "can't" do that. Why he can't do that he didn't say though.
In fact South Africa did implement such a window.
But you are right, we are screwed. Politicians care a lot more about political correctness than deadly viruses. They (and their mindless TV-educated zombies like "Nemyst") will tell us how it's "unlikely" that it will become a problem and that not a single flight to Liberia must be cancelled, because
How is suspending flights to Liberia a "high opportunity cost"?
Is the economy going to turn down because somebody cannot get to Monrovia?
Gosh, you people are surely crazy.
Chances are, the conversation wouldn't happen like that
Mainly because the USA has signed treaties that make it illegal to refuse entry to a citizen.
That, and when you make a self-report of risk be a metric for spreading the risk, you increase the risk and the amount of lying. But you don't help anyone. So your plan fails for many reasons.
Wait a minute. The USA ignores treaties left and right and constantly bombs and invades countries because they want to leave the US-dollar as reserve currency. They torture and hold people without trial. They pay millions to destabilize Syria, Ukraine and dozens of other countries.
But they can't refuse entry because of some treaty with Libera?
Since when did the USA care about any treaty?
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
