Nah. Settling conflict with guns is for the low rung of the ladder. I think organized crime has found it to be much more profitable and safer to influence the political system, just like the businessmen---but I repeat myself.
Suppose you were an idiot.
And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
- Mark Twain, a Biography
only in America is working over 40 hours a badge of honor. The Germans seem to be doing pretty well with their 30 hour work weeks and their 2 months paid vacation every year. We Americans often confuse competence with numbers of hours worked.
Agree wholeheartedly. Somehow managers (MBA's) have sold workers on the idea that they are just another commodity/expense, rather than human beings. Therefore, for a worker to advance or seem valuable, they should work for less, or work extra for free, etc.
I'ts as if the workers believe they are owners, but without the ownership.
not only will the LHC destroy the earch, it will have done it before any of you ever existed.
That's why I arranged for the genetic soup I descended from to be sent to earth instead!
... Our universe now contains more information than it did before
If these particles move through time, what does it actually mean for them to be in our universe at time t ? As for the information, I didn't read anything about how the sending/receiving information from these time traveling particles affects the current amount of information in our universe. Perhaps there is only an exchange of information between the two different times using this hypothetical particle as the conduit.
As others have noted, I personally don't see how sending information vs. sending a person avoids any paradoxes. Any solution for one would seem to be a solution for explaining paradoxes of the other.
Oooh! Can they set up a web interface and charge money for us to shoot them!!!?
Who wants high score??
Selective enforcement of laws is a major vector for corruption.
But suing isn't about enforcement of laws. Selectively defending ownership, perhaps. And there is nothing requiring them to sue everyone they intend to sue all in one lawsuit.
Wait...I'm defending the MPAA? Forget what I said!
can we get rid of daylight savings time!??
Does the axis shift if it can't be measured? We can know fair or balanced, but not both.
Just open the box and see if the cat's alive already!
... In all your 1984 dystopian scenarios, there's an elite segment that isn't subject to the same rules as the masses---arguably, there exists an elite segment in today's society that isn't subject to the same rules as the masses
And unfortunately, they seem to be the ones making the rules. <Sigh>SSDD
Maybe we should give it a try. After all: Freedom is slavery.
... what would happen if they had to deal with an emergency in the US ? And what if in the middle of this emergency, someone wanted to see a video on Youtube containing info that he needs?
If the US military has to rely on access to Youtube, they have bigger problems.
OTOH, if an information source is using Youtube, I'm sure the military can manage to repost it to their own network.
To me, drinking beer is about getting shit faced, usually with friends. I don't give a crap if it tastes less hoppy or has carmel undertones.
And do you also only eat to get full so any cheap ass dogfood will do? Some people actually enjoy drinks and aren't just drinking to get shit faced. It's not about being snobs. And I don't think you are trolling. Maybe a bit off-topic, but then many of the discussions here went astray. (Including mine.)
But perhaps you weren't speaking of the discussions here.
Now if Joe Hipster is giving you crap...I'll agree he does sound like a snob...so he can buy the next round.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
