That's kind of a shit response. It'd be one thing if she wasn't living with him, but she is. The fact that they're living together by definition means there's a minimum of privacy to start with, and that the response was to expect him not to feel comfortable enough to service himself in his own bed. Yes it's her bed,…

Google is strong-arming musicians who want to use their publishing system by setting the rules of when and where a musician posts their content and whether it is monetized.
It would be like a movie studio telling an actor "If we distribute this next movie of yours you have to let us distribute every other movie you…
"No one is forcing..." You do know that this is historically a prelude to an opinion which demonstrates really sloppy thinking and lame excuses for whatever follows.?
media composer, which is the industry standard for video editing
I'll happily take scolding from any off-roaders who have driven a vehicle equipped with rotating wings instead of tires.
Spelling matters, that's for sure.
None of us are the same person *by that relation* as we were when we were born. We're constantly replacing cells throughout our lives. And as far as Star Trek is concerned, their transporter system is a bit *different*. The trek transporter - as described by the technical manual and Mr. Scott's Guide, does not use…
We can talk about it. We can rally against it. At least make our voices heard in a way that states our position. Even if that statement will lead to our eventual prosecution or persecution - and perhaps because of it. If you don't have the courage of your convictions, then how can you claim to have any courage at…
I'm not worried about the NSA in so much as its actions as a department. I am well aware this kind of surveillance has happened and will continue to happen. Thing is, other organizations want to leverage this information too. And the people who the NSA go to to gather this information might be keeping some of that…
And you speak of reality as though it is set in stone and beyond our ability to shape. Every action we take or chose not to take forges our reality for better or for worse. Every single person has power. The problem is far too many people invest that power in a few who are not worthy of such trust. And that is…
As we both know, for every agency we know about, there are two that we don't. I know this game of cloak and dagger has been played since time immemorial - yet never has it attempted to be so *open* as it was with the NSA. Which means the NSA was a test to see if the American People were willing to stomach open and…
Nanotechnology - Example: medical use of nanoparticles to deliver targeted medications in patients and for use in targeted tumor treatments. Because of the targeted nature, drugs that have severe side-effects can be used in vastly reduced quantities yet still remain effective. Another example: Use of silver…
Oh, there is individual freedom. And the world does not keel over and cease to exist. Even our entire nuclear arsenal can't make it happen. As for the NSA - it should not exist. I know why it does, but that doesn't change my opinion about it one iota.
My apologies, but what I said was an opinion and something I felt needed to be said. Quod erat faciendum.
That particular TLA should go and fuck itself. If our society is to be based on the ideal of individual freedom, then it has to accept that individuals who disagree with the "majority" might be unable to express their viewpoint in a way that will be heard without resorting to violence. Thus it is impossible to…
I'm sorry. I used "phase" as if it were a negative. I shouldn't have done that.
Shit, you're right. I love spacetime.
"Thankfully, the black holes are far away in a remote galaxy called PG 1302-102. The collision itself, if astronomers have done the calculations right, will happen in the next million years. "
It's definitely "healthier" than the alternative...in the way that doing push ups in the middle of a highway is healthier than huffing paint and wrestling tigers.
