Substituting one god for another isn't going to effect your well-being to any great extent. Substituting homeopathy for medicine will.
Rumor is that abandoning Islam is reason for a death sentence.
Overcomplicated.
Simplified and shortened: 'stated goal != actual goal in most foreign affairs'
True, but I didn't want to be accused of painting with such a wide brush.
That's why we should be more interested in what they do than what they say.
And yet, I'm sure we'll never know what they actually did here. The only one storing all those past social media missives is a US three-letter agency.
It's not clear that USAID was at the front on this opperation. They were funding it secretly through shell companies. When it comes to clandestine operations the CIA has better qualifications. It's just stupid, and more stupid.
You assume that USAID is more than just a front for the CIA.
Color me naive, but [...] I really don't have a problem with this unless they were actively using it to try and incite a Cuban Spring, rather than merely passively providing it and letting things develop on their own.
There is a wide range of gray between active and passive here. I'm willing to bet they were in an area that would make you uncomfortable.
Bought a Roku 3 Sunday, set it up last night, woke up to this on sale, never knew it was coming. What's the point of a surprise announcement? Why not build up some hype in advance? I probably would have waited for this instead (for the voice search and extra ram).
Oh well, probably best not to get stuck in Amazon's ecosystem anyway.
It's been all over the rumor sites for weeks.
I hope this is an April Fools joke. How long have cameras had a bayonet lens mount?
"Bayonet mount" is a generic term, kind of like "screw" - I.E. just as there are a wide variety of screws and heads, specific mounts can and do vary wildly from each other. Different specific mounts have different features and performance. For example, the bayonet mounts used for light bulbs aren't suitable for lenses because their depth would make a camera unwieldy, complicate optical design, and wear quickly because of the weight of the lens on the relatively small pins. Hence, lens mounts use typically tabs rather than pins. Light bulb mounts also suck at maintaining close and rigid alignment - something a lens mount absolutely must have. Lens mounts also use different retention features than a light bulb mount to facilitate quick changes and reduce the relative force required.
Wait, you're spreading actual information? But how can the trolls all yell, "Derp! Rounded corners! On a smartphone!"
For practical purposes (like night vision), sure, definitely useful. But for everyday "recreational" use, you really don't want to see people's blood vessels, etc. Given the choice, I'd much rather see UV.
Are you kidding? How about, "I would shake your hand, but according to my contacts, you have a fever."
Clinton 1992 due to Ross Perot splitting Republican vote.
Interesting theory. FYI: I am a democrat who voted for Ross Perot.
