Re:Only in America
Whoever marked you as Informative is a tool, because they believed your BS. You're regurgitating an article from 2003 (fucking 2003!!!) in which the Home Office "stressed that new procedures had skewed the figures" and "With new recording procedures taken into account the actual overall rise was just 2 per cent"
So thanks, troll, and thank you very much, mod who marked it "interesting", as you're the one who just swallowed these lies fully, without any shred of critical thinking whatsoever. Takes 2 seconds to Google where he came up with that tosh. Christ.

Re: Same trauma, more drama
There are bicycles that have gone more than twice as fast as 90 km/h.
None that weren't downhill or drafting off of a motor vehicle of some sort. Except for absolute highest speed. That was done on a "rolling road", effectively a very large treadmill, and he was towed up to 100 mph before he even started pedaling. It's the fastest anyone has gone on a bicycle, but not completely under the riders power. 83 MPH (133.78Km/h) is the current fastest on level ground. Most cars can't even do 180 MPH

You are always being tracked
There was some hubbub recently about Google announcing Android integration in Audi and Honda cars. The general objection was that now Google (and, of course, GCHQ or the NSA by extension) could even track motorists while driving! But already people commented that that probably already was the case with current navigation packages.
Boy, was this a correct assumption.
Assume that all data you send out anywhere gets tracked. -

What is interesting in the article is that the Romans possessed the technology — and the economy — to bring such exotics foods into Italy from thousands of miles away in a manner, that, while possibly expensive, was still affordable for the citizenry.
But we've known of such achievements for ages — Romans, for example, have largely stopped growing wheat in Italy long before Julius Caesar. Because it was cheaper to bring stuff over from Africa. (This made Egypt the place of strategic importance in the later civil wars.)

In an interview with Channel 4 News, Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said they were studying and investigating the report, adding “If they are US spies, then we know how to punish them.”
The warning came as the US military's top officer, Admiral Mike Mullen said that Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, may already have blood on his hands following the leak of 92,000 classified documents relating to the war in Afghanistan by his website.
"Mr Assange can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family," he said.
Information from the documents could reveal:
Names and addresses of Afghans cooperating with Nato forces

Re:The Antarctic successfully defends itself

Face it. The Alarmists routinely attribute bad weather news with "Climate Change". Even the supposedly smart "Climate Scientists" do so at times.
And to add to the fun, they just came out with a new and improved "model" that claims a 3C increase by 2100. Never mind that their old models pretty much said the same thing, predicted it earlier and have FAILED the test of empirical evidence.
The credibility of these models and climate scientists is shot. I wouldn't believe them if they predicted the sun will rise in the east.

Lifting the Ice Curtain - October 23, 1988
The most alarming report was in October 1982, of five men emerging from the water in wetsuits over olive drab uniforms. Spetsnaz, the elite Soviet Special Forces charged with behind-the-lines reconnaissance and sabotage, often wear olive drab.
The evidence of covert Soviet landings on St. Lawrence is impressive but still circumstantial
....Spokesmen for the Defense Intelligence Agency deny that any Russians have penetrated our perimeter, but Abner Gologoren, the local coroner and longtime magistrate of Savoonga, told me of a Russian found dead inside the old Air Force listening post at Northeast Cape around 1979. ''The military took charge of the body,'' the magistrate said. Alaska State Trooper A.J. Charlton believes that the Russian was somehow separated from his unit ''and hid out as long as he could, hoping they'd come back for him.''
Why Spetsnaz or other Soviet special forces would want to penetrate the island is another matter. A senior military intelligence source in Washington offered a plausible motive: ''It's like the old American Indian tradition of 'counting coup.' For a young Indian brave to be accepted as a man, he has to get close enough to his opponent, either in battle or in one-on-one combat, to touch him, and then to survive. Evidence, whether it be a wound or a scalp, that you were able to go in there and come back was having 'counted coup.' That's what the Soviet commandos are doing on St. Lawrence. It's a perfect place to do it.''
My source explained the military logic. ''In peacetime, all such organizations seek training opportunities for their special units that approximate the real risks and hazards of wartime,'' he said. ''Going in covertly in ones and twos is the best possible training. The coastline is undefended and indefensible. Practicing out on St. Lawrence is not like flying a U-2 over the Soviet Union and getting shot down. There's risk, but not that dire risk.''
His assessment of what the Russians are up to was the most candid and sensible that I'd heard. Back in Nome, though, yet another theory was propounded to me one night at the Board of Trade - a saloon. Spetsnaz were indeed making covert landings, it went, but part of their mission was to poach ivory artifacts.
Sometimes they aren't all foreign, and they are just waiting for the sign.
Terror Training Camps On American Soil
“We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We are dealing with evil at its roots and its roots are America.”
So said the Pakistani Sheikh Muburak Gilani, leader of the jihad terrorist group Jamaat ul-Fuqra. And the way that he and his organization are “dealing with evil at its roots” is to set up jihad terror training camps all over the United States — often under the noses of government and law enforcement officials who are either indifferent or too hamstrung by political correctness to do anything about it.
Sheikh Gilani is no shrinking violet, and Jamaat ul-Fuqra is a force to be reckoned with both in the United States and elsewhere. Journalist Daniel Pearl was on his way to interview Gilani when he was kidnapped and beheaded in 2002. The following year, a member of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, Iyman Faris, pled guilty to plotting to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge. In 2005, the Department of Homeland Security included the group among “predicted possi

The project aims to enable military personnel to control multiple 'sock puppets' located at a range of geographically diverse IP addresses, with the aim of spreading pro-US propaganda. The project will not target English speaking web sites (yet) but will be limited to foreign languages, including Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Pashto.

After declaring war on the United States in 1996, the international terrorist organization known as Al Qaida, which comprised elements of the armed forces and government of Afghanistan, conducted an attack on the United States of comparable magnitude to the attack by the Empire of Japan on Perl Harbor in 1941 in terms of loss of life and economic damage on 11 September 2001. They attacked targets in both New York City and Washington DC, having attacked American embassies and military forces previously, and many other targets subsequently. The conflict continues.

Re:RSA's name is now mud
I don't see the point, it's not like we're ever allowed to extradite Americans to the UK.
Yes, I'm being facetious, and you can argue that the (according to the US embassy in London) the US haven't refused a single extradition request to the UK's 10 refusals, and they do seem to say that the treaty is fair, but a UK MP says that there is a 7:1 disparity in US:UK extraditions. Which to me suggest that either UK citizens are far more likely to break US laws than their own, or that the required proof required for extradition requests is different between the two countries.
Home office statistics reveal that since the start of 2004, not one single US citizen has been extradited to the UK for crimes alleged to have been committed on US soil. The traffic is very much one way, however.
Don't take this as a criticism of Americans, it just shows how our politicians will sell us off for a few favours.

Re:Lie-fest from the NSA
My thoughts exactly, to that end it seems now the thing to do is to discredit Snowden who I consider a true patriot.
If Snowden is a patriot in your eyes then surely he is a unique patriot. What other "patriot" can you think of that left the country where he performed his "patriotic act" and now has a constant guard of KGB officers (FSB) to protect him? Ah, the key is you left out the word "American." So you don't regard him as an American patriot, but to use your words, as someone who worked to "expose what the NSA was up to to the world." So in your mind patriots steal American intelligence information and release it to the world. Based on your account name and post, British Leftist I presume?
The fact that he wasn't motivated by money isn't necessarily creditable to him. Many foul deeds have been done for ideological reasons. Snowden's acts resemble nothing so much as those of Kim Philby who betrayed Britain and fled to Russia where he was feted and revealed to be a KGB officer. Snowden is the Philby of our day, having not only harmed American intelligence, but also visiting the worst ever loss for British intelligence. (You can probably add Australia to that as well.) Nobody should be surprised if he meets a similar end to Philby.
Now here is something interesting, it may be that the ones to feel the eventual sting coming from this massive loss of intelligence information won't be Americans, but mainly people in other countries. The NSA revealed that it has had a hand in foiling 50 terrorist plots worldwide, and few of those were in the US. Terrorist groups have already started to exploit the information that Snowden leaked by changing tactics to avoid detection. Now they are in a better position to carry out their plans over the next several years - and that is the timeframe for many of their plans: years. The real party hasn't even started yet. That means more bombs exploding overseas. Will it be another London bombing, or Madrid, or one of thousands of other examples? Will the next plot in Germany or Sweden succeed and kill hundreds? Only time will tell. One thing seems likely - in the future various people are likely to look back at Snowden's leaks and think to themselves, "It seemed like something to cheer.... at the time." Of course now it is too late. Snowden's existing and future leaks will have committed us to a future he chose in an undemocratic, vigilante fashion. Who voted for Snowden to oversee this? Nobody. But you will get to live with the consequences none the less - he chose for you, not even consulting you or your representative in government/parliament/ legislature. Perhaps the most ironic thing is that Snowden is now living in Russia, and the Russians are using information he leaked to upgrade their internal surveillance apparatus to make it more effective. Snowden has been hoisted on his own petard.
Well, if someday you are in the tube on the way to a football match, or in a pub enjoying a game of darts with some friends, and an extremist with a suicide vest that slipped by busy MI5 agents comes in and detonates himself, you'll know who may have helped the Jihadi avoid detection.
Cheers.

Re:no you just have lots and lots of stabbings and
You mean this from 5 years ago?
In a supplement to its quarterly crime figures, the Home Office said that 13 forces had for years been under-reporting the number of cases of Grievous Bodily Harm with intent.
The Home Office said that while the crime "should be recorded where there is an intention to commit GBH", some forces had in many cases not recorded under this heading unless GBH had been actually sustained."
It attributed two-thirds of a 26 per cent rise in GBH with intent, and much of the dramatic increase in the most serious crimes, to the fact that this had now been put right.Fuck off.

Re:Giving everyone $2/day:
Food aid is a poisonous gift. You might feed a bunch of people, but it undercuts the livelihoods of local farmers, and just creates dependency on handouts. Disaster relief is one thing, but without a transition plan towards self sufficiency it is almost worse than nothing.
I saw a documentary about the aid industry in Haiti, and it was quite disgusting. Local builders and plumbers living in tattered tents without proper sanitation, just living on hand me downs from aid agencies whose interest was already focusing on the next disaster. Real aid would help the locals help themselves, not pay for aid industry fat salaries and materials manufactured in the donor countries.

Re:I don't know why people are upset with this
Whatever it is, that's what we've come to. And it's no surprise. For all the reasons that broadcasts have ever been appropriately restricted, so should the internet be.
Now, you can certainly complain with the way that it's done. You can be upset at the sheer number of false positives. You can be correct in saying that it may actually be impossible or unfeasible to enforce. But then that becomes the debate, not the need for the restriction in the first place.
Not quite. The way it's done resembles blowing up that downtown building because they don't accept what's painted onto its side. By "complaining with the way it's done" I'd understand saying something like they should have used carefully placed dynamite charges rather than air-to-ground missiles. Instead, I want to say they really should leave the building in place. By design, there is no proper way to restrict the Internet! Safe browsing —for those who don't want to inadvertently see those sites— is a different story. The minister is not trying to safeguard people who cannot accept the publication. He targets those dangerous extremists who are actively looking for it, not reckoning that such technique is neither effective nor legitimate.
There's an EU opinion published a few days ago. (Oddly enough, no English version there, you may want to read The Telegraph instead.) The means for blocking which the EU advocate mentions are DNS blocks, not compatible with DNSSEC, and routing blocks, which are even worse. The advocate also says those blocks can be easily circumvented even by unexperienced users —e.g. using Tor— while they require a good deal of work to be set up. Nevertheless, he finds them not disproportionate. Here again, they consider that the copyright law must be protected, without reckoning that the Internet has a larger impact than printing industry, after which the copyright law started in the early 1700s.
IMHO, it's governments who are turning old-fashioned.

Re:very understandable
"You could shoot back."
With your automated shoot-back sentry-gun that's attached to every person's head, or? I don't imagine shooting back is particularly easy when you've been shot. I guess you could shoot first just in case, but that sounds like a rather effective way to cause even more incidents.
Or were you under the impression Hollywood style Clint Eastwood style holstered six shooter quickdraws are how these things go down in real life?
"Please tell all these dead children how to defend against knives. Because you're thinking of the children, right? "
Irrelevant. I don't think (and I certainly haven't) anyone has ever made the argument no one has died to knives, so what is the relevance of this? It's trivial to also pull up examples of people who have died to guns but that changes the debate not at all.
"Because the knife wielding criminals always announce themselves, right?"
Most people have the ability to sense when someone is getting close to them. I say most, because yes, I encounter a bunch of retards who manage to get in my way every day at the train station during my commute, but fundamentally you've got more chance of knowing someone's about to stab you than someone's about to shoot you for the simple fact that they have to be closer to you and you have better perception of their movements and intentions.
"Or you could be properly trained on how to use your gun to defend yourself."
It doesn't matter how well trained you are to use a gun, that doesn't prevent human error, and it doesn't allow you to bend and meld the laws of physics against such incidents. Many people have been killed by stray bullets, including from soldiers and cops who have some of the most thorough weapons training in the world.
"Why? Because I live in a rural area and the crime rate diminishes the further away I get from the "gun-free zone" urban areas."
If the crime rate is so low why do you even need a gun to defend your house? Funnily enough, in the UK the most knife crime is in areas the police are actively combating knife crime too. It's funny that isn't it? that authorities focus on certain problems in areas that are more prone to them, who'd have thought it! I'll give you a hint, the problem is the gun-free zone, it's inner city poverty leading to an increase in violence.
"The only thing I'm worried about is someone breaking in to rob the house. And even in that case, I hope that the sound of me racking the 12 gauge will be enough to scare them off because if I shoot them, NY will probably throw me in jail."
So what you're saying is that your gun is a kind of security blanket, the sort of thing kids carry around and drool over but normally grow out of by the age of 3 or so? If you're not going to use it, why have it? If you have it just to scare people off then why not just use a baseball bat, a hammer, a knife, or whatever else you have instead? Because you're afraid that maybe they'll have a gun perhaps?
You realise pretty much every in the West faces this potential scenario right? that of someone breaking in? The vast majority of people get through their lives without their security blanket. In fact, of the few that do face it, some still manage to defend their home and take out the intruder despite being outnumbered:

Slippery slope fallacy. The government has the ability to execute, but it doesn't execute everyone.

And the current Administration has admitted to at least 4 US citizens without a trial or grand jury convened.

Re:I could see it

If the project was running late and Sony was looking to cut corners to make the date, saying "well, we tested it on a dozen TVs and didn't see any problems, so lets just call the HDMI drivers tested so we can ship" is exactly the sort of thing I can see happening.
I can remember when Sony was obsessed with quality, and that sort of thing would never happen, but that's about 15 years ago now. These days sony timer is a Japanese phrase for products failing the day the warranty ends.
