My understanding of it is that it all goes to crap when outside observers manage to see the outcome of your event before they see the event started. Therefore, to be safe, keep your faster-than-light travel a secret.

Wouldn't the Twitter equivalent be a tweet that points to the blog post?

Wait, you mean insisting I was reporting a crime to a police officer is not a defense in that case?

If I listened to developers as a group I would think all tools/languages suck and I would have never bothered entering this industry. Anyway... >> For many people, PHP is the first programming language they try without formal edu

I also want to say that there was a recent court decision, I don't recall where in the US, that stated law enforcement can't set up camp outside your home and watch your front door without a warrant. Which is funny to me they try

If the definition of low performer is "really nice, hard-working people", then I suppose you have a point. But it would still suck to be hard-working and be let go because the company failed to provide you proper tasks to be consi

A positive work environment and satisfaction is not just about compensation. Working with other high-performers is good, I agree, except the company policy is that high-performers can be shown the door at any moment due to various changes o

I hope there's more to it than that. Firing "really nice, hard-working people" is stupid. There are far better things to do with such people than firing them. All that teaches people is to have no loyalty whatsoever to their

I have no doubt we have the theory and knowledge to build such things, we just have little reason.

My Firefox in OSX is fine, my Firefox in my Win8 VM is not. Really strange.

If you change the agent string to Chrome the page will load in IE, but it looks as broken as it is in Firefox for me.

I am hoping that was the intention of the statement; not wanting to build something because of interests doesn't mean the knowledge to build it doesn't exist.

Sometimes I really wish the FTL crew did have some semblance of intelligence. It's so easy to miss a small detail that leads to the death of a crew member simply because they can't be bothered to go through a door to save themselv

They aren't accusing the person of being a criminal, they are accusing the property of being obtained from alleged criminal activity. Property is not innocent until proven guilty.

Curious, what if the reasonable number is more than the lower could possibly pay? As in, they simply do not have the resources to pay it?

Please explain in another way how it lacks entirely of meaning, because your current explanation is essentially lacking entirely of meaning. How does my right to free expression require a state entity? That implies that right is provided fo

Explain to me how punching me in the face while standing in a public space to make me shut up is a legal right on private property? With police standing nearby to witness the whole thing and yet do nothing. You keep going back to private pr

Ah, I see. I misread. I'm speaking of violence and other illegal activities. But, it's early yet. EDIT: this was the definition I was thinking. Deadly force, as defined by the United States Armed Forces, is force that a person use

As I said, I don't necessary agree with the Facebook thing. I can see why people complain about their behavior, which is fine. I was saying that I think the subject is irrelevant to the discussion. I suppose I interpret the title &quot

This is more or less what I'm saying. I don't really see how the government can have a direct and active defense of the First Amendment as it applies only to the government. I'm just speaking of the other laws on the books th

That's fine, you are welcome to your opinion and I respect that.

I am not saying the oppressive group is violating your First Amendment rights, I am saying they are actively suppressing you from exercising your rights. What's the easiest way for the state to silence a group under free speech protect

Ok, then I'll ask again, please define "hate speech". To add to this based on your response, please define "hate speech" in the same easily understood definition of "murder". I'm not saying that hate
