external binary plugins are much more susceptible to security problems than simply using the already existing JavaScript engine, which has been time tested to be secure.
How does noscript affect this? Am I going to have enable javascript for every site that has a PDF that I want to view?
The republicans say they are the party of small government and getting government out of peoples lives but they don't act like it.
I'll just leave this here: Republicans, Get In My Vagina!
Only the government remains as being able to come to where I live or work, tell me what to do, and use force to back it up.
How did that happen? What organization is responsible for chasing out all of those other groups from having the power to abuse you like that?
It's not hardwired: If it were, we'd be able to do these scans at birth or an early age and find similar patterns. But we don't.
On what basis do you say "we don't?" If these differences are only now being identified then it isn't necessarily a case of "do not" just "have not yet."
It's disengenuous to suggest these things are hard-wired because they imply they cannot be changed.
Structural != "hard-wired" it just means that there are different brain structures associated with specific traits. It isn't saying that the traits are immutable, just that if you have those traits you probably have a certain brain structure to back them up.
Some not so credible newspapers report unconfirmed military sources stating that Russian air defence shot down this bad boy.
No, it was Putin who busted it into smithereens with one blow from his mighty fist.
Ugh. Math. Puke. Easy method.
Gee thanks for not answering the question. The problem with your analysis ain't the math, its the premise. The reporter also said that he didn't keep constant speed, sometimes varying with prevailing traffic.
He said "as much" not "can not."
I understand publishing charts and whatnot for the averate NYT reader. But throwing the actual log files up on the webserver is only marginally more effort and yet would give Musk tons more cred with the technical crowd. Expecting us to "reverse engineer" it from the charts is antithetical to the silicon valley mindset that Musk claims to be bringing to the car business.
The difference in the final tire diameter is extremely little. As in less then 1%.
Do you know this to be specificlly the case with the wheel options on the tesla S? Or are you making a generalization?
Are the "standard" political categories a little too simplistic?
Why do you think I called it a simplified theory?
2 monitors are much better than 1 large monitor in my experience
I agree - one in portrait mode for a full-screen web browser for reading documents and the other in landscape mode for interactive work.
I notice that they took these samples from cigarettes and chewing gum. Seems to me that if you leave something like that in a public space, there's no privacy concern.
Huh? Is this some kind of moral equivalency thing? The most trivial of litterbugs deserve to have their DNA analyzed and cataloged? Seems way out of proportion to me.
Why are so many people so willing to accept "rampant left bias" but refuse to see the rampant corporate bias?
Maybe it has something to do with who is complaining. Here's a simplified theory:
Conservatives, by definition, want to conserve the status quo. So they are not going to be happy about news reporting on any changes.
Progressives, by definition, want to see a change in the status quo. So any reporting on the way things are is nothing new to them - they wouldn't be progressives if they didn't already think the status quo sucked.
So you get one group getting their views challenged and another getting their views reinforced. Seems plausible that the one getting their views challenged would be motivated to find allternate explanations that don't conflict with their world view.
Well, the people reading will clearly see that you have no understanding of abrogation
Will they? When al-Qaradawi himself said it doesn't work the way you claim it does, when he was specifically talking about verse 9:5 and he said it in arabic on al jazeera that kind of makes it seem like I have a much better gasp of the topic than you do.
Come back with the verse that abrogates 9:5 and then we can talk.
Hey, if your man al-Qaradawai said 9:5 is abrogated by the other versus, what more is needed?
With regard to your Al Azhar quote. What you don't understand is that people are free to practice their religion - but *only as second class dhimmis who must pay an extortion tax of jizya or be at risk of being killed*
Oh, so now the taco defense does not apply? You are changing your interpretation as you go. Your new explanation is still just as ridiculous. If that was what was going on then it would mean the Christian churches in egypt were happy to be second class religions. Never mind the actual wording of the declaration -- "absolute equality in rights and duties." Not secondary in rights - equal.
You know what makes more sense? That Al-Azhar said what they mean.
Hmm. How 9:5 is read when taking into account 9:4 is usually interpreted this way, "fight all unbelievers that you don't have a treaty with. If you have a treaty then fight those that have breached the treaty. If you have a treaty and its conditions are still met, then leave them alone for up to four months" (hudna).
Given that the context was war with various pagan tribes, then yes killing the enemies you have not signed a treaty with seems pretty reasonable. Even if it is a gimme, you still can't explain away 9:6 commanding the muslims to take the non-believers to somewhere that they are safe.
You know what really cracks me up? How you started using my name over and over again instead of referring to me with a pronoun. It's like you just woke up to the fact that you are on a stage after I pointed it out to you. You are so transparent. It is funny, but sad.
Al taqiyya for non-Muslims (notice the EU domain) and guillable Westerners (like you). That's not the position in Arabic and in documents published for Muslims to read.
Remeber all those christian churches that signed on? They are in egypt. They speak arabic. They signed on to the original arabic document. They wouldn't be fooled by a bogus english translation because they read the english version.
I suspected you would try the taco defense. That's the one that trumps any critical thinking. Anybody who says anything that disagrees with you is lying. Even the very same people that you cite as an authoritative. Do you understand how circular that reasoning is? There is literally nothing that can change your mind. It is the same thing as the salem witch trials. That ain't science, that is mindless bigotry.
I never expected you to honor your side of the deal. But for anyone else reading along, they can see your hypocrisy for what it is.
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
