Yeah, some kind of EULA situation, like basically outlawing for-pay Minecraft services including hosting, selling packages of items, etc. In short, making most of the best MC servers illegal. The fact that he has nothing to do with it any more suggests that he should indeed uninvolve himself.

He's still a hypocrite given his explosion of hate over Oculus Rift, especially after this statement. He deserves our derision, and he's getting it.

Ok. I have mostly been working with Beaglebone and looked at this video to see what I might be missing with Edison. The shill in the video promotes Edison by saying it has all these things built in-- wifi and bluetooth.

From this video, it's clear the board is missing USB and any kind of normal power connector. Oh, and removable storage? And ethernet?

This device screams of a scheme to dump atom processors after the market disappeared for netbooks and intel was left with a few million chips on their hands. I'll stick with ARM and the larger ecosystem that has grown around the Beaglebone Black and Rpi, thank you.

but WHY did it collapse? was it distribution? poor messaging? slow communication?

A lot of those reason have been solved.
Sometimes people see where a technology is going, and jump to the point, forgetting the need for infrastructure to support it. Once the technology infrastructure is in place, those things become marketable.

In short, you need to eat your meat before you can have you pudding.

Near as I can tell:
The product you link to is a extracorporeal cytokine adsorber.

With this product in the /. article, there is no excess cytokine to absorb.

"A good person will do good; a bad person may do good if the carrot (heaven), or stick (hell), is strong enough to deter them from acting bad"

no. A bad person will say that God wants them to do whatever bad they are doing.
It becomes an excuse.

If the civilian police could do the search, then they probably should have.

If the search was done on-duty, it used military resources and so should not be reported.

Yes, public property should be devoid of all religious symbols.
I don't care if you have a manger and the words Christmas on you property.
To put it in a public space is to force a religion onto all the people.

We have Freedom of religion for a reason.

The military FORCING people to be christian and pray is a BAD thing.
There has been a big push to get more religion(Christianity) into the military.
The Mid-East used to be pretty free and open, then religious group started infecting the government, and withing a decade religion was forced onto all the people, and te countries generally stopped producing anything and became ces pools.

Remember, ISIS is claiming the are religiously oppressed because they can't make other people bent to their religion.

Religion alows the ignorant to think what they do is for God, therefore it's OK.

"As a mystic I have _knowledge_ by definition, aka experience."
false. Completly and utterly false. Are you simple?

"Athiest[sic] telling other people what they can and cannot know is the height of ignorance and arrogance. "
which is why we ask for proof.

"They are literally like the blind man telling those who can see color that they are delusional."
so now you are saying you have special vision no one else has? Hoe convenient.
You are simple.

atheism is not a religion.
The rest of your post is 3rd grade tripe.

Every religious conflict with science I have aver read about is due to people being ignorant of their own theology, and/or the history of their holy book.

Example: Bible literalists.

Nope.

Truly your intellect is dazzling!

You pretty much have to just ignore what he says.

Reverse osmosis, which uses water pressure both to push water through a plastic membrane (the osmosis part) but also to back-flush the filter. An "efficient" RO filter wastes about 10 parts of water for each 1 part filtered, but we have a well and a septic system so no harm done really.

The laws of war generally oppose weapons intentionally intended to maim rather than kill. Mostly dates to popular revulsion around the WW1 era over weapons designed to inflict nonlethal but gruesome casualties to hobble the other side by flooding their hospitals and supply chains. As a result, countries agreed to a ban on various chemical weapons, expanding bullets, weapons designed to blind people, etc.
