I really enjoy a good steak. If a vegan tells me how horrible of a person I am because I am eating a steak, then I will make a scene on enjoying that steak. I am planning on going to the Antler restaurant in Toronto some day.
Another few questions to ask:
Who is going to keep on paying for her being frozen? Her parents may do that for the rest of their lives, but then who will pay after they are gone?
What if the cryonics business that is keeping her frozen goes out of business?
Who is going to expend resources to revive the person, cure the disease and get her trained for living in the world of then. (It won't be cheap!)
If there are relatives (distant at that) living at that time, then will they take care of this stranger?
Sometimes there are services that don't have another option for online payment *other* than PayPal. It kind of sucks, but there it is. Just make sure you never keep any money in the account. PayPal's been pulling this kind of shit for years. I'm surprised no one has taken them to court over it yet (or if they had, why it hasn't made the news).
Generally by their IP address. IP addresses are tied to locations, so you can generate reports from the access logs to a website telling where the traffic is coming from. A website can also use that database to deny access from various locations.
I ignore them. The worst thing that you can do to a person that is trying to get a rise out of you is to ignore them.
Way back in college a friend suddenly shouted, "Stop smiling! I insulted you!" To this day, I have no idea what he said before that. I got his goat without even trying.
When someone is trying to insult you, you have to ask yourself this question: "Does this person's opinion really matter to me?" If you are secure in yourself, then most of the times the answer to that question is "No." The only time in the last twenty years when the answer was yes and I was hurt was from my now ex-wife.
This just shows the article submitter's bias.
The simplest change would be a "Use it or Lose it" restriction on any patent.
You must License it or Manufacture it within 2 to 4 years or you lose the patent all together, and it becomes public domain (yet remains in effect to prevent someone else patenting the same thing).
The problem with this is that they would just create another shell company and license the patent to that company.
Where it would supposedly burst into flames and out of sight in the overhead bin.
I wish I had mod points for you. I am a former expat that did some consulting work in China. You hit the nail on the head.
With your own LLC, you also get to put more money away in a tax deferred retirement plan. There are limits on the amount of money that can be put into your 401(k).
You are still paying the costs as an employee, but they are hidden from you and you also have no say in how they are spent.
I spent time in China as a consulting Software Architect. People at where I worked were working a standard 40 hour work week.
The project I was on in Korea had people working a 12 hour day. When I say working, I mean that they were there for 12 hours, but I did not see 12 hours worth of work. You did not leave work before your boss did.
Every country has its working culture. A lot of the internal differences are based on education level. I know that there are workers in China that want to work the overtime to make more money and are annoyed by foreigners trying to push the foreign standards on them and are taking money away from them.
I am voting for Cthulhu for President. Why vote for a lesser evil?

You actually expect the press to get their reporting correct? That would mean doing actual research and checking sources.
Observational science doesn't disprove ideas about origins. Those ideas can't be tested scientifically. All that can be done really is to interpret the data in the context of your preferred presuppositional research framework. That's what materialistic scientists do... that's what scientists who believe in a young universe do.
Again, this is wrong. The "Young Universe" so-called theory can easily be tested scientifically, and every bit of data says that it's false. In fact, it is for that reason it should not even be called a theory since theories are supposed to have the benefit of empirical data to back them up.
People familiar with evolution do not assume creationists are wrong. We know they are wrong based on observational science. Creation myth may be an interesting story to tell and an important part of our (or any other) culture, but for people to even take it seriously as fact is delusion held to the highest form of grandeur.
Quark! Quark! Beware the quantum duck!
