Ineffective boycotts are farther than technology has ever gone? No, we've had ineffective boycotts long before then. Remember when Chic-fil-a closed because of the boycott? Neither do I.
How is this an ineffective boycott? The man has issued a public apology before the proposed boycott even had a chance to progress past the suggestion phase. That seems pretty damned effective to me!
So, what you're saying is that the First Amendment protects the rights of hateful bigots to spew their filth in public, but it does not protect my right to call them out on their bullshit? I think you don't fully understand the concept of Freedom of Speech.
It has to be noted though, that if you decide to become a heroin addict, your life will be absolutely dominated by the graving for this substance, probably for the rest of your life.
Actually, several studies in Europe have found that the vast majority of heroin addicts lose interest in the drug and quit using on their own within a decade.
That assumes you can find them. Most of the big trolls are hidden behind so many shell companies, you'll never find them.
Nonsense. Someone's name is on the letter you were sent demanding licensing fees. That person can be found and "convinced" to give you the information necessary to find any other people that might be involved. The shell company game only defends against legal methods of discovery. It will not protect you from someone who is willing to use torture, rape, and arson to find you.
Wow! Epic reading comprehension failure, there.
I said nothing at all about preschool. I was addressing your false equivalence of kindergarten with daycare. That should be obvious enough if you bother actually reading what I wrote.
If you really want my post to be about preschool, then feel free to replace all instances of "kindergarten" with "preschool" and all the claims I made will remain just as true.
The only reason that kindergarten isn't considered preschool is that since it is public education and thus free. With it being free, the vast majority of the parents decided to use it as free daycare. With the vast majority of kids being housed in a public schools prior to 1st grade, it started to be considered the 1st year of school.
Well, yes... except for the fact that there is actual instruction in kindergarten, and the kids actually learn stuff, unlike any daycare I've ever seen. Oh, and the fact that every study I've ever seen that has looked into the issue has found a significant correlation between kindergarten attendance and long-term academic success; again, unlike daycare.
So, really, once you look at the actual facts, it seems more appropriate to consider kindergarten to be school rather than daycare. Because it is.
Why should he blame the butter knife for being a butter knife? I bet he wouldn't blame the tools, but rather the idiot who selected those tools.
Having worked in construction with a few genuine craftsmen, I can assure you they would do both. But, as a general rule, the better the craftsman the higher the percentage of vitriol would be levelled at the tools, because a good craftsman knows what could be accomplished with better ones.
No, fascism = capitalism + nationalism. Maybe it's time for you to step away from the Glenn Beck and pick up a fucking dictionary.
All this rhetoric about giving what you expect to get leaves out the very important fact that a worker and his boss are NOT equals in the first place.
This is true. A boss needs workers. Workers don't necessarily need a boss.
"Properly processed" is the key. When film scanners reached 1k resolution (aka 1080p) the operators started to notice visual artifacts, which turned out to be the grain of the film. By the time 2k scanners came out, post-scan processing was an absolute necessity to get video of acceptable quality.
At least, that's the story I was told by the engineers when I worked in customer service repair on the Spirit DataCine. So much for my old TV/Film professor's assertions (a mere 7 years earlier) that digital would never equal the resolution of film.
The problem with the fourth amendment argument is that the internet is effectively a public place. The NSA doesn't need a warrant to packet sniff the internet for the same reason a cop doesn't need a warrant to listen in on your conversation while you're waiting in line at Starbucks.
It would certainly be nice if the fourth applied here, but it's not an argument that that's likely to ever prevail in court.
Guest speakers from local companies that do stuff that your members might be interested in. That was the main thing that kept me interested, anyway.
Also if you're doing anything related to games. Graphics, movement, and collision are all linear algebra, of course. But even you aren't an engine guy you'll likely have to write at least one spline editor (their popular in animation and cinematic tools), and it won't be long before some of the more advanced simulation techniques are standard in the industry. Check out the DMM plugin for Maya, which uses finite elements to model material properties, for example.
Actually, we can expect to find much higher concentrations of heavier elements in asteroids and other space debris than we do on Earth, thanks to this thing called "gravity". Neil deGrasse Tyson explains it very well in the conversation he had with Joe Rogan. Look it up on Youtube.
You have a good point if we're talking about fishing in the breakers or picking up driftwood along the beach. 5000 meters down is a much different story. It's not exactly just like picking up a rock from the bottom of the swimming pool, only deeper.
