My neighbor and his dog were also attacked by a loose pit. Marvin (my neighbor) was bitten several times trying to save his small dog. Finally, another neighbor heard the screams of the small dog, and broke it up with a baseball bat. Both Marvin and his dog survived. The pit was owned by a renter across the street, and when the police investigated, they arrested the owner. Turns out he was dealing drugs and had the pit as protection. The police said that having a pit is common among drug dealers.

Years ago, my dad and mom were walking their small dog when a pit charged across the street to attack their dog. Dad lifted their little dog up where the pit couldn't reach it, and was bitten himself. The owner pulled the pit off and explained that she had a new litter and was very aggressive. She didn't explain why she was loose.

Pits were deliberately bred to be aggressive, so it's not their fault, but time after time, when we read about an attack, it's a pit bull. The breed should be banned. They are simply too dangerous.

I'm am so sorry that happened to your daughter. After our labs passed on, we got a tiny Chihuahua, and when walking her one day, I spotted a dog that looked like a pit playing with his owner in the front yard, and unleashed. She was letting the dog attack the stream of water as she watered some plants. I picked up our Chihuahua, and went back the other way. A tiny Chihuahua has no chance against a pit. Most other breeds don't either.

Did she call the police? She can sue the homeowners for this, but she needs to report it. Their liability insurance should pay the vet bills, and also pay for your daughter's traumatization. She has a slam dunk lawsuit, and in this case, the owners need to be punished.

stories are sometimes invented to make the Palestinians look bad, and countless Israeli crimes are swept under the rug or flatly denied if they happen to get out.

That's because Putin dares to defend Christianity in a post-Christian Western Civilization. Obama is a cold fish who must be wrapped in newsprint and sent to perdition.

Entanglement is a result of two particles being part of the same wave function.

Double slit isn't a theory, it's an experiment. An experiment explained by treating particles as wave packets instead of point masses or waves.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Entanglement and the double slit experiment are phenomena that were predicted by the mathematics. The fact that they are real an observable only gives merit to QM, not the other way around. If you want to discredit QM or otherwise say "we dont know it all" you would use examples like the lack of a quantum explanation for gravity. However, that would be unfair because proofing why things have mass took a project as big as the LHC. Proofing the explanation for things with mass being attracted to other things with mass will take much more time, money, and even larger instruments.

I'm not saying QM is perfect, I'm saying you're ignorant. The uncertainty principle is very real, insurmountable, and tells us it is impossible to perfectly model an existing system concurrently.

Just like we will never disprove F=ma...

was it stuart hammeroff? that guy wouldn't shut the fuck up at one of the conferences I went to, and I ended up having a 15 minute conversation with him during the poster session. conclusion: the guy is fucking crazy.

there's zero evidence for this idea. it's a hack idea.

just don't listen to anything he has to say about biological brains. he doesn't know what he's talking about on that subject.

I suspect the super snoopy facility in Utah probably has everything.

You know, many years ago, when I was 19, the IRS sent me a rather large refund check that actually belonged to someone else... someone else who shares the same name as I.

This was long before I developed my current, bitter loathing of Unka sam and his minions.  I took the refund check down to the local irs goon squad lair, waited in line a long, long time and finally found myself face to face with a irs demon.

I said, "Hi!  I got this refund check yesterday but it's not mine.  I filed my return months ago and have already received my refund.  I think it belongs to someone else with my name."

Demon replied that it was unlikely that the check did not belong to me.  I repeated my story.  Eventually, demon took the check and said, "It's a good thing you didn't keep it.  We would have figured it out eventually and you would have been in big trouble."

Hopefully our Conservative American Patriots will match and even surpass the disgusting Collectivist Liberals dirty tricks!

We are at war with this internal Liberal Enemy. Anyone who believes otherwise is doomed to be easily defeated.

History may show in the future that it was Obama who destroyed his own Administration by tolerating the death by a thousand crimes and corruption within it. Thankfully, the Liberals have now lost all credibility with the American voters according to the latest polls.

Managed correctly, our Congressional Tea Party Patriots may be capable of shutting down any of their added Economy destruction.

Really it is kind of simple… The left wing used to be Democrats… Now they are progressives, they are not the same. Democrats helped people, progressives are full of hate.

that was just feynman being feynman. it's pop-science BS though. We understand quantum mechanics the same amount we understand newtonian mechanics. It's a mathematical structure that describes (really fucking well) the dynamics of certain things. If you understand the math, that's all there is to understand.

no, science is about inference, not computation. There's no reason to think that a quantum computer will be better at inference than a human will be. though i'm sure inference algorithms will one day be up to the task, but that has nothing to do with computational power, and has much more to do with developing new algorithms.

sounds like you are just throwing out a bunch of lingo and smashing it together, without really having much understanding about what those words mean.

Remove time, and there is no meaning to distance. Imagine afterlife like this. How can a linear soul or whatever function in a nonlinear place or whatever?

Of course no piece of information is an island on to itself.  Thus the problem of global warming advocates, particularly the political ones.

Glad to see you do at least acknowledge this.

Reminds me of the Customs & Immigration girls in Kazakhstan.
Damn they were fine and liked looking gooood.
They always wore high heel boots in the winter and I could never figure out how they could walk in the snow & ice in Almaty and never ever so much as slip.

Very,very dangerous...Those claiming the e-mails are lost are political animals, not IT people, so they didn't realize that the e-mails in question still exist, and probably in several places.

For instance, the NSA has them.

I just find it absolutely amazing how stupid these liberals have become… And they think I should buy their story…
It's what I do for a living.
These emails are not lost.
But if they contain what is suspected, it's not only impeachment, it's prison time…
How far would you go to cover up at that point.
We need a special prosecutor

The answer is incredibly simple… We have a cover-up going on :-)
we are being lied to by three years old. This is am mainframe emails system. There are backups upon backups upon backups. Its not just a little Windows Email server. No way in hell is this "lost"

Same as the Leah betts issue so many years ago this is just a parent avoiding the issue that their kid made a bad choice and it cost them their life! Sad as it is pointing fingers and claiming the government was responsible for her daughters purchase and use of illegal narcotics is like blaming the government if your kid decides to drive at 120 mph and hits a tree, makes no sense it's just a bad decision! At least she has the profits from her book though.......

Makes me wonder what type of action, or rather inaction, the crowd would have taken of she did assault the kid in some way...that is border line attempted murder. broken nose, fractured eye socket, it wouldn't take many more punches to have killed her.

Lerner, Obama, and the other Government corrupt and criminal Fiends have a problem. Even "IF" a nuke hit her machine, all government data is on three servers, and one of them many miles removed.

Most current day IT users understand how this works to the extent that it is nearly impossible to be totally rid of any data or e-mails, and especially on any government computer.

This pathetic excuse just won't work in 2014.
