So this organization is only a whitewash group for Apple.
It may turn out that that is the case, but if the only evidence you have is "I don't like their findings" then you might as well be talking about the fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Feel free to post evidence...
I'd much rather stand with a child pornagrapher than a tyrant.
Don't fall into the trap of limiting your choices to the ones the tyrant gave you.
It wasn't quite that bad. He said you were either with the child pornographers or with the government. Given those two options, I'm not really sure which one is less bad.
Are you familiar with the concept of false choice?
Given that these days child pornographers includes teenagers who send naked photos to each other, parents who photograph their children in the bath, and people who distribute illustrations of nude fictional children, I think on balance I'd rather be with them than with the power-crazed sociopaths.
It has gotten pretty stupid. My 8yo daughter had chicken pox a few years ago and wanted me to take some pictures of her in the bath with the spots painted. After taking the pictures I was sure to delete any that might raise suspicions if they were found... which was pretty much all of them. "Hmmm... there's a picture of a bare shoulder here. You'd better come with us".
Care, feeding and education of. They have been my largest single expense since they were born. Fortunately I can think I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as their undergraduate courses are nearly finished.
Yeah I can't imagine how they could possibly have left that one out. Tiny babies are very cheap to look after but it's all downhill from there.
Our kids attend a Catholic school, so there are obviously discounts for multiple kids (3 in primary school, one in high school), but it's still fairly expensive.
And 3 of them (and my wife) can't have gluten, which means food is more expensive (although takeout is less of an option so that kind of takes the edge off).
Still, it's better than dieing sad and lonely!
I read a while ago (on slashdot?) that this was getting picked up more often now because those people had trouble viewing the 3D effects of a 3D movie (because the parallax method of determining depth doesn't work on a flat screen)
Monocular vision does not lend itself to experiencing 3D on a 2D screen.
Which is probably why the rest of us blessed with binocular vision don't like it either. With only one eye you would determine depth by moving your head around to determine parallax, which obviously fails with the current technology.
I'll care about it when the goggles themselves contain the image with appropriate trickery so that you are focusing on the object you are looking at.
I have heard of one other case like this - a lady who had to walk around with an eyepatch all the time. While she could see fine with either eye, using both at the same time initiated migraine pain.
had she ever seen a doctor about it? Sounds like the eyestrain you get when your eyeballs aren't lined up correctly and your muscles strain to try and keep them pointing in the same direction.
My wife and I bought a tv 16 years ago when we got married. It's worked fine for 16 years so I've never replaced it. I recently got a 42" plasma that someone gave me, the PSU blew out a resistor, so it's about a $200 fix to have a plasma. I'm going to take the leap and try it. I think it's worth $200 plus I like to tinker with stuff. I have another tv that my brother gave me that is larger than the 27" we first bought. It had grey horizontal lines, a $0.25 resistor from Radio Shack fixed that and the tv works great.
My gf (wife now) and I bought a TV about 15 years ago. About 5 years ago child #4 discovered the miracle of the on/off switch and the TV broke shortly after. It was going to cost about $100 to fix vs not a lot more than that for a flat screen, but we opted to go the repair option because the other fun thing child #4 did was to play a game where he would charge at the TV and give it a big push... something a flat screen is going to tolerate only once or twice while a CRT can take pretty much anything a 1yo child can throw at it (figuratively speaking... a 1yo can actually throw things pretty hard).
Still works fine now, and we never did get around to getting a flat screen. It doesn't get watched a lot though these days - kids have all got laptops so TV time mostly gets replaced by laptop time.
The irony is, if the general population was stoned the government could do pretty much whatever it wanted and people wouldn't care, and if they did care, they'd never get themselves organised enough to do anything about it. They might get less tobacco tax revenue, but that's not going to last forever anyway.
