If they had to treat all biological remains from scientific research as biological waste & biohazards and dispose of properly or face jail time and HUGE fines, that would also kill their whaling industry. You can't sell biohazards or biological wastes.

The market for whale meat has been dying for decades and demand is at an all time low last time I saw the reports on it. Of course, the established industry doesn't care and will keep flaunting the treaty because they can and they still make money at it.

It is known that certain types of cetaceans do use personal names to refer to specific members.

It's known that humans have a unique and specialized digestive system that is adapted for eating cooked foods.
You just don't get as much nutrition, not just calories, from raw food.
It is true that cooking does 'destroy' some of the nutritional value, but if eaten raw, you still receive far less than if you'd have eaten the cooked food.

If you want to lose weight, sure you could eat raw food and exercise, or you could eat less cooked food and exercise, or just exercise more.

They believe in the money. It doesn't matter how gullible and ignorant the buyer is, the money is still money and works just the same. Unlike homeopathy, which doesn't work at all.

It takes gullibility to work. Well, actually that's required to buy into the scam, but there never has been a shortage of that in ignorant populations.

Why the police of course.
You know, the same people that arrest police that violate the laws.
It's not like crime by police is almost always completely swept under the rug unless there's a huge public outcry over it.
We all know it's great idea to let the fox regulate the hen house, right?

All sarcasm aside, if the database exists, it WILL be abused, and most likely by the police.

I know some who shot a burglar that broke into his bedroom while he was asleep with an arrow to the leg (sorry, not the knee, it was more of a thigh shot).
What happened?
The police arrested the homeowner and let the burglar press charges.

Well I guess that explains why they can't type Shakespeare, now could somebody get a makak in here to finish this post.

This is more psychos than psychics, so even though it's an old dead horse, it's a lot more like 1984.
You have actually read 1984, haven't you?

That sucker was first published back in 1949, so in the USA it's still in copyright for like a billion years or something, but it's pretty easy to find, as even the smallest public libraries try to keep it on hand. Heck, it was required reading in several of my high schools.

National Mall?
Do you mean Mall of America?
That's owned by Canadians I believe.

LA Police are doubly suspicious.
There's a good reason they have a worldwide reputation for corruption.

Beating up people is called Assault and is illegal.
Arresting someone that isn't breaking the law is itself illegal.
(Taking pictures in public, as well as using a heads-up display device in public are both totally legal, so long as you aren't driving.)
Calling someone a 'Glasshole' for simply wearing a specific accessory is not only close-minded and uncalled for, but totally rude.
(Try waiting for them to do something to deserve the insult, like insulting people without just cause.)

As far as I'm concerned, the 45 minute battery life is not a 'feature', it's a huge freaking defect.

Also, the price is currently WAY too bloody high. In my opinion it's only worth about $80 new.
Feel free to disagree. ;)

This is NOT a GMO issue, it's the same measure/counter-measure issue that's been plaguing agriculture since farming began.
It's an example of evolution in action as a species changes in response to a change in it's environment.
Stop trying to make it out to be more than it is.

They do, no joke, and they have for many years.
Back in the late 90s, Macs had over a 1000 viruses, linux, less than 10. (It's been a few years, I forget the exact numbers.)

Did those infections occur a lot? No, but it did happen sometimes.
After all, there's a huge benefit to NOT being the most common user OS. Those scum writing the malware usually want to hit as many victims as possible, and if there's an OS that has 70% or more of the desktops out there, it's pretty obvious what they will aim for.

If you want to continue to believe marketing and fanboys, that's up to you, but don't be surprised when you get infected by some kind of malware for not taking the proper precautions because you believe in computing myths and the protective power of obscurity is magically unbeatable.

By the way, I've done the tech support, and have seen the reality, this isn't just some random opinion. If you don't believe me, that's your problem.
