Keep in mind that what information comes out of journalists is typically 10 times more outrageous than any of the scientists' claims.
Silly rabbit, laws of war don't apply to dealing with unlawful combatants.
Also, lasers are fairly well collimated, so you'd have to aim directly at the person to blind them, and then I think they would have more problems than just blinding. You can also blind someone by shooting them in the eye with a gun, but for some reason it's ok as long as they have a good chance of dying outright.
I know it's hip to play in text mode with vi keys, but you don't have to. Tile graphics mode has been around for a while now, and cursor keys have pretty much always been there. The article doesn't seem to indicate that.
Sounds like a decent premise for a new game inspired by Nethack. But it isn't Nethack, and multiplayer Nethack wouldn't work without massive changes.
When I told you once, I told you a thousand times, and run Google translation by hand twice, and then run the grammar checker word.
If you copy a word for word, and then caught.
I have a friend who got back from a trip to India. She was traveling in a group with some other women and one man. The taxi drivers would grab the women by the arms and force them in the car like luggage, and then talk with the man about where he would like to go (with his women). My friend had bruises on her arms from repeated grabs.
I'm having a bit of trouble feeling sorry for the 'victims' who chose to sell out here. If they are taking hush money, then they are complicit here.
I have higher expectations from proto-humans than some zigzag lines scratched into a shell. Come on, you really expect me to accept that as art?
Not (just) a perfectly logical person, but a perfectly logical selfish person. Altruism perplexed game theorists for years.
Capitalism is about owning and trading things, not about making things. Certainly making things is a big part of owning them, and is a big drive of the capitalist model, but it is not a defining feature, as all societies make things. A defining feature is owning and trading things that are not (human) made, such as land, water rights, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
As far as hitting wandering creatures goes, there is no real-world difference (in either chance or damages caused) between driving 60mph and 85mph
That statement goes against common sense and needs to be backed up with something.
Perhaps the solution isn't to pay workers more, but to pay CEOs less.
There are two types of mass: inertial mass and gravitational mass. As far as we know, these two are equivalent.
Inertial mass is the resistance to motion (change in velocity). In Newtonian terms, F = ma. In special relativity, F = dp/dt = d(gamma*m*v)/dt
So, you can define mass as long as you can define a velocity and acceleration.
Gravitational mass is associated with gravity. In Newtonian physics, F = -G*m1*m2/r^2. In general relativity, gravitational mass is equivalent to rest energy. Gravity is given by Einstein's field equations which depend on the stress-energy tensor, which is a 4x4 matrix. The [0,0] element of the matrix is the rest energy density, which is the gravitational mass density/c^2.
