That's bullshit. Among other things, people would sue the theaters, not Sony. They could have released it to HBO, etc. Not releaseing it all is a huge mistake. Not just in lost revenue, not just in lost money spent creating and advertising for the movie, but a huge hit for their reputation. The money alone is probably far worse that any unreasonable jury award for situations like that. That is, if you were right (which I think is laughable), that a terrorist attack would end having Sony being sued and they had to pay out money, the amount paid out would be far less than what they are throwing away today.

Every single patriotic American is saying "what a bunch of pussies." Everyone is talking about how Sony caved to the terrorists. How N. Korea made Sony their b!tch.

Performers, directors, vendors, etc. are all thinking "Why should I work with Sony again when I can go work for someone that will actually PUT OUT the movie that will bring my carreer to the next level. If I waste my time with Sony - evenn if they pay me (not certain), it could be career suicide.

The damage for an attack based on the movie would be MINISCULE compared to the damage they have done to themselves.

I am puzzled.

Step 1) Someone asks what they should get on their smart watch that they are considering buying.

Step 2) I list several features they should get.

Step 3) You point out that all the features I list 'already do that'.

But you seem to think that a list of features that alread exist is not appropriate response for someone looking for features on their smart watcH? Why?

I meant that violent people enjoy violent video games.

That is, you don't become violent because you play a lot of violent video games. Instead you play a lot of violent video games because you have an aggressive personality.

Smart watches should not simply be small smartphones on your wrist. They should take advantage of their place on your wrist. To my mind that means any reasonable smart watch should do the following:

Sports applications - specifically it should measure the movement of your arm at the very least, if not the full exercise monitoring/recording of the fitbit and the similar items.

Medical application - specifically at least measure your pulse, if not full blood sugar, etc.

In addition it should have a good voice recognition and bluetooth capacity to make up for the small screen size.

1) A sudden disappearance of studies claiming that video games cause violent behavior rather than the other way around.

2) A whole bunch of people totally ignoring this study because they don't like what it means.

Free speech is a constitutional right and has no business being restricted in any way. Similarly, flying aircraft - manned or unmanned is constitutionally totally unmentioned.

Which means that it is totally reasonable to restrict drones, but not at all reasonable to restrict speech.

What's next - you gonna bring up hitler?

It doesn't matter when the laws were passed, it matters when the laws are interpreted. Any politician or judge can tell you that.

As for knowing what a car was, I new that 40 years ago - which not only means you were wrong about your probably, it also shows that you made a knee jerk assumption much larger than mine.

I work in IT. I can practically guarantee you that multiple high level employees of Sony have put evidence in their emails of major sexual peccadilloes. Not to mention discussion of people trying to cover up similar (and worse) crimes committed by Sony stars. It would not surprise me if evidence of affairs, homosexuality, child pornography, rape, and even covering up deaths (accidental or otherwise) was on their servers.

If North Korea got this information and threatened to reveal it, that would definitely explain why Sony caved quicker than the Iraqian army when first attacked by Isis.

They have not been for over a decade. Nor are they libertarian, despite Ron Paul.

The Republican Party has become a simple Rural Party. They protect rural interests, because they found a way to gerrymander rural districts into a majority of congressional districts, despite the majority of the population living in urban areas.

Car dealers are more rural than car manufacturers - as rural areas need more dealers per person than urban dealers, while car manufacturers in a single urban environment can supply the entire country.

As such, the GOP will support the car dealers at the expense of the car manufacturers.

Most people take the drones to parks to play with them anyway. So letting people use them inside official parks, like Central Park, and Prospect Park would be a simple, fair compromise.

That's the easiest way for a young man to change fields. Preferably a paid one.

When applying for actual jobs pick the entry level ones and push your passion.

That way you can get into actual space industry.

First, the number of 'in between stages' that are mostly useless is incredibly small.

Before you fly, you can glide. Before you can glide, you can slow your fall. Before you can slow your fall, you can use it to warm/cool your body. Spread the partial wing in the shade when hot and you increase surface area, cooling yourself down. Do the same in the sun and you get more warmth

Basically, if the effect is really mostly useless than that also means it is not particularly bad - such as being born an albino. Albinos live fine lives, with just a few problems. Having a minor problem does not stop you from living OR breeding.

Your understanding of macro evolution is seriously flawed. Macro evolution is just a long series of micro evolution. That's ALL it is. There is nothing special or different about it.

The problem is you are not smart enough (no one is - except perhaps god) to understand all the intervening steps.

You don't 'give up' teeth, you get a mutation and are stuck with it. They are not making conscious decisions to evolve, that is just plain ignorance. If you can find a way to survive without the teeth, you continue on. Eventually you get another mutation, and maybe it evolves to take the place of something you lost.

Birds found a way to survive without teeth before they gained a beak. Possibly it was those rocks some birds swallow and use to grind up large chunks of food (I don't know when or if all do this).

Maybe teeth became a liability. People used to die from a rotten tooth, maybe there was an epidemic of bird tooth infecting microbes. It doesn't matter.

As for gender based on-single cell organism, you have that wrong also. Sex evolved from eating - the victim's genes survived inside the single cell that tried to eat it, and it's grew from there. At that point all those single celled life forms were hermaphrodite - they could eat or be eaten and their DNA would survive in the eater. Eventually, the hermaphroditic single celled life forms developed into two varieties - one that could eat and absorb the DNA (female) and the other that could be eaten and pass on their DNA (male).

Also there was no clear line between single celled life forms and multicelluar life forms. First came colonies that learned to cooperate but could also survive on their own.

The system I am considering works fine over the internet. Specifically, the commercially available phone linked technology lets you take a picture of your screen with your cellphone, using software installed on the cellphone. Then it sends a text message that unlocks your account, just as if you had entered a password.
