Of course "music" can have different meanings to different people. However, one of the things which has traditionally been core to the concept is the human element. By definition, a machine can't do that part.
As a mental exercise, I suggest that one imagines using robots to run the 100 meter dash. There is indeed some satisfaction in racing machines, but we generally watch Olympic events specifically for the human content. This concept holds just as much (perhaps even more) with amateur and children's sports and games.
Now the US can confirm that Huawei is not working with the Chinese government and will be able to tell the world that they were wrong about that. No?
Huawei spokesman Bill Plummer said: "If such espionage has been truly conducted, then it is known that the company is independent and has no unusual ties to any government and that knowledge should be relayed publicly to put an end to an era of mis- and disinformation."
@AC10:12 Your post just turned on a light for me. After reading the story I had thought to myself, what kind of system admin has a Facebook account? I would have thought it would be fairly unusual, but in a family situation it certainly wouldn't. And regardless of that, working at home and having your family involved does put an even more disgusting slant on the operation.
I would also have thought this was funny too, but that would have been around the same time that I thought whoopee cushions were the pinnacle of cleverness.
"I've only every purchased ONE DMM, it is a Fluke, and I bought it in 1986. It's solid gray. No yellow in sight. Which is good, because I don't like tacky, gawdy tools."
Glad you like it, but if I were you I'd take it back because it has no yellow on it. The yellow and grey is your assurance of Fluke quality and you got short changed. ;)
Seriously, I've got a much cheaper all yellow one which is probably older than yours. It is still accurate. Whats more, I've got an even older yellow and grey one which is also in great shape.
"Are you seriously implying someone looking to by a Fluke is going to mistakenly buy this $15 one instead? Are you really saying Fluke buyers are that dumb?"
However, it looks like Fluke does think their buyers are that dumb.
I really think that all US presidents are blackmailed and that they know this going in. I admit some ignorance to the relevant history here, but to me it looks like US Presidents are beholden to moneyed forces, and that this has gotten worse over the years - culminating in Obama. To me being beholden to moneyed forces is being blackmailed.
"any language would suffice. words shape thoughts; imprecise use of language is indicative of imprecise thinking and logical errors due to oversimplification."
I see you also have the ability to use English effectively. That makes me believe you when you say you are a good programmer. I see many people who supposedly have "gotten started" with programming and in fact entered a professional career, who cannot use basic English and seemingly make no distinction between completely different concepts, including impossible ones like "very unique". I find it hard to believe that those minds are capable of writing good code. In fact I don't think someone who makes little distinction between letters of the alphabet would make any more distinction between different numbers.
I feel pretty safe since I don't buy anything from Lululemon. However, it makes me feel extra secure to know that they are protecting me from buying counterfeits as well.
That finding is not called into question by the fact that the internet users who click on the link have the impression that the work is appearing on Retriever Sverige's site, whereas in fact it comes from the Göteborgs-Posten.
Where on earth did the judge get the idea that someone would assume that all links are to the site that hosts the link? This is not a "fact".
