You're talking about the 'Breakout' incident.

From what I could tell, their enterprise value is actually £2.768 billion, making them rather affordable compared to what you said. That said, Apple is more likely to simply purchase a license to use the term in the consumer electronics space, or else to buy it outright from them, much as they did with the term "Apple" when they settled their lawsuits with Apple Records a few years back. Apple hasn't indicated any interest in getting into the media production industry, which is currently well outside of their purview, and even at a "mere" £2.8, that would still be one hell of an expensive name for a product that hasn't been announced and can have its name changed free of charge.

Report: Dissidents Tracked Using Radiation
http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=81775&page=1

"The feared East German secret police routinely sprayed suspected dissidents with a radioactive solution as a means of secretly tracking them, according to a new report.
Stasi agents would then wear portable Geiger counters that would activate when a marked suspected dissident was nearby, according to New Scientist magazine.
So that targets would not hear the distinctive clicking of the counter at close range, Stasi secret police agents wore the detector strapped under one arm, while a vibrating alarm was slung under the other arm. The magazine reports that the 30-year-old invention mirrors the technology behind todayâ(TM)s pagers and cellphones. The magazineâ(TM)s article was based on a paper by leading radiation protection expert Klaus Becker."

The veteran British scientist behind Joddrell Bank telescope has disclosed how the Russians once tried to kill him with radiation for tracking the Sputnik satellite.

It seems to me that it is not only Saverin who is not mindful of and not caring about the health of the nation and the people around him. Judging from the articles linked below, it seems that the entire of Facebook is not healthy:

Facebook's reputation in the mainstream media is rapidly getting worse. Facebook is getting a bad reputation partly because of articles like these:

Worst company: Facebook was a semi-finalist in the April 2012 competition to be voted the worst company in the United States .

Facebook follows its business rules? Not always. The April 7, 2012 Wall Street Journal story, Selling You on Facebook, says:

"Facebook requires apps [mobile phone software applications] to ask permission before accessing a user's personal details. However, a user's friends aren't notified if information about them is used by a friend's app. An examination of the apps' activities also suggests that Facebook occasionally isn't enforcing its own rules on data privacy."

There's more like that in the article.

Facebook tracks every web page you visit that has a Facebook button (using Javascript). For example, if you visit the Oregonian Newspaper web site, Facebook tracks every story you visit, even if you don't click on the "Like" button. There are ways to prevent that (using Firefox with the NoScript add-on), but most people don't know about them.

Companies pay people to click on Facebook "Like" buttons. The number of Facebook "Likes" doesn't give any indication of popularity.

On December 9, 2011 it was necessary to click on a Facebook "Like" button to be allowed to see Fry's Electronics ads.

Close, but not quite. If true, the Superjet pilots were trying to show off for the passengers inside the vehicle. The dumb Italian captain was trying to show off for people outside his vehicle: one of his friends was on the shore.

Also, the jet pilots at least had a good reason to show off: they were trying to impress their prospective customers. Showing off a product's capabilities to a customer is always something a seller wants to do (but in a safe manner of course, unlike these dumb pilots). The cruise ship captain was just showing off for one of his dumb friends.

But what are we supposed to do when the stereotype starts ringing true? Pretend there's no basis to it?

What the hell is wrong with you. Every single point about the "stupidity" of Irish people above has been demolished, even the ad hominems and strawmen you wheeled out, and you're still sticking to this madness. I'm making no excuses for the government or the political system that muppet DeValera landed on us, but as if to say Ireland is the only country in the world that elected bad politicians from time to time. The Germans elected a couple of bad politicians in the not too distant past, are you calling them stupid as well?

You need to ask yourself the question: What if the Irish really _are_ a race of feckless, stupid, drunks, and the present state of the country is the proof of it? Should we ignore the possibility, or should we actually try to examine our issues and deal with our sick culture of governance?

There is no race of stupid feckless drunks, and only a stupid person would imagine there is. Although if you want to go down that road:

Of course that won't fit into the narrative you've constructed for yourself, even though its coming from the Torygraph, not noted for being critical of all things British. There are problems here as with every country on the planet, none of which makes a racist joke any less racist. Tell me, what part of Ireland are you from?

From what I understand from the story the warming was caused by the blades mixing air at different altitudes rather than any slowing of wind (which should be immeasurably small):

But on huge wind farms the motion of the turbines mixes the air higher in the atmosphere that is warmer, pushing up the overall temperature.

Nov 2011 Article: US weapons 'full of fake Chinese parts'

What are some of the big issues dividing the Dems and Repubs: Abortion rights, gay marriage, etc. They are social issues, not economic issues. In other countries these things are not discussed in the context of political affiliation. .

Exactly. The current government in the UK (which is mostly the Conservative party (305 MPs), with a few Liberal Democrats (57)) is being accused in the conservative media of focussing too much on social issues, like gay marriage.

But the argument is not that gay people shouldn't be able to get married -- I'm not certain, but I think the proposal for change has come from the conservative part of the coalition government. Instead, some bits of media are complaining that debating time in Parliament should be spent fixing the economy, as that's more important.

(The government says they have time for both.)

This article further backs up what you wrote: (the Telegraph is the most right-wing/conservative of the "proper" newspapers, i.e. it's a big newspaper not full of pictures, celebrities, the royal family or sport.)

In America this week, David Cameron will see a Republican Party expending a great deal of time and energy deciding how, precisely, it will lose the presidential election in November. As fractious as the Tory tribe can be, it has nothing on the GOP in 2012 for splits, disaggregation and pointless introspection.

  Nor has British party politics been infected thus far by the culture wars that have so disfigured American politics, or the “God gap” – the chasm between secular voters and those whose religion guides their electoral behaviour.

You seem to have something against Muslims. Weird.

Since they are the ones who are plotting and making threats it would be more effective and just if they were the ones to suffer collateral damage.

paranoid nanny state

With reason. There are a lot of Muslims in Britain, 24% of whom think that the 7/7 London underground bombings were justified. With 2.8 million Muslims, that's 700,000 people who would think that attacks on the civillian infrastructure are justified. Even if only one in a thousand would be prepared to do something that is a real threat.

The issue isn't whether its paranoia, there is a real danger. The issue is does this add to the danger or contribute to safety.

You mean like seeking regional hegemony, running terrorist campaigns worldwide, threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz, threaten Europe's energy supplies to freeze people, use suicide boats to attack gulf shipping, arm Hezbollah to attack Israel with and ultimate goal of destroying Israel, attack US troops, send suicide bombers to Europe and America, aid America's enemies, threaten attacks on nearby countries and cities with missiles, kill diplomats, subvert nearby countries, unleash the suicide bomb brigades (serious), and the ninjas (you decide), perhaps adding some WMDs to the attacks?

In some places, you might.

The EU has a law from (2005-ish?) that requires all email headers for inbound/outbound users located in the EU be sent to EU-based law enforcement. I'd be shocked if the NSA didn't get at least this much data. I worked a project for an extremely large USA-based ISP that had clients overseas and some perl was written to grab all the headers and transmit them to servers in Europe. I didn't see the code, but I can't imagine any useful way to differentiate between EU and USA email senders or receivers. It is just easier to send them all.

If the NSA didn't get a feed from this - and I don't think they did - they probably have access to the EU database.

I doubt they can store all the content inside emails for much time and since more and more people are using gpg (2048 and larger keys) to encrypt their messages, that is less useful for the NSA.

The use of SMTPS between servers probably puts a wrinkle in the NSA listening too, provided both ends are configured to support it. Dropping back to non-SSL encrypted email is still all too common.

The world-wide amount of email traffic is extremely high and storing it is tough enough for many ISPs. OTOH, storing selected messages is not that hard, provided your selection criteria is reasonably limited.

Normally, I'd add links to the EU law that requires the email headers be provided, but the last time I looked, it was non-trivial to fine. I know that we wouldn't have deployed those 4 servers and setup DMZ jump boxes to stream the data to other servers in our EU data centers without a good reason. I did find this from 2009 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/5105519/Internet-records-to-be-stored-for-a-year.html

The financial system in the U.S. is corrupt, in my opinion. There are many arrangements that help those in control steal from the average person.

I did not know the Microsoft deal had the precondition to dump Meego/Tizen, I figured it just had the precondition to produce a WP7 phone.

But I do not think the rumors of two new Nokia MeeGo phones would persist at all if Nokia had the precondition to dump Meego; although it appears the rumored phones will at best have the MeeGo GUI and run S40.

A little Google searching on the topic does not reveal any such agreement to abandon Meego, at most Nokia agreed to make Windows Phone its primary platform, do you have a sources to clarify that Nokia has to kill all in house MeeGo development? I hope I have not missed something: paidCOntent, Telegraph, CNet, The Next Web, Microsoft.

But I am sure that it is wishful thinking to think that Nokia will drop Windows Phone and get back behind MeeGo in full force any time soon, if ever...

Clearly these British MP's can all be trusted and have no ulterior motive for such censorship. Why, if they'd had their way, we'd never know about the great corruption exposure of the summer of 2009 where MP's from every party were variously fiddling their duck houses, moats and yes, even the noble Home Secretary was at it fiddling her (yes, her!) porn.

That's the thing about censorship and control freakery. You have to trust the people doing it 100% or you are screwed.

While certain Christian idiots have done things like bomb abortion clinics (thereby killing both doctors and those seeking abortions), I ask if you've ever seen one try to poison a school full of children for being taught evolution? I thought not.

How about a Christian who shot and killed 77 people, mostly children, at a summer school, in what he calls a Knights Templar operation carried out to defend Christians, and who has today in court said that the deliberate killing of children was justified because they were not 'non-political children' ?

The judge in the extradition case did actually rule that O'Dwyer had violated British laws. So please don't make statements that O'Dwyer's activities were legal under British law when in fact there is a court ruling that they weren't.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9013803/Student-Richard-ODwyer-can-be-extradited-over-TV-website.html

"However, Judge Purdy rejected the argument from Mr Oâ(TM)Dwyerâ(TM)s barrister, Ben Cooper of Doughty Street Chambers, because of the control the student had over what links were posted on TVShack.net and TVShack.cc.
He set up the second website a day after authorities shut down the first in July 2010. The main page of the new version included the cover image from a rap single called âoeF*** the Policeâ, according to American prosecutors.
âoeFirstly both TVShack websites were entirely in the hands of Richard Oâ(TM)Dwyer and his co conspirators requiring third parties to sign up to TVShack and be vetted before going further,â Judge Purdy said.
The judge agreed with John Jones, barrister for the United States government, that âoebecause he was intimately involved in deciding who was allowed to post links on the TVShack websites, which links would be postedâ, Mr Oâ(TM)Dwyerâ(TM)s alleged conduct was a criminal offence under British copyright law."

You obviously don't spend any time looking into actual terrorism because, yes, they most certainly do fucking warn people in some cases. You're lack of knowledge is a danger to others. I suggest you shut up until you know.

Are you sure your children will never want to travel to Europe? Or somebody from Europe will never visit your town? Last year the largest outbreak in the US in 15 years occurred from this source.

A lot of people are going to the London Olympics this year. Some have predicted it will trigger a measles epidemic in the US.

People like you are compromising the society you live in by playing at amateur epidemiologist. It is immoral behavior.

Considering that multiple independent temp reconstructions have made the Hockey Stick into a Hockey Team, his work seems to be on solid ground

Or, one could posit that the other temp reconstructions are on as shaky ground as Mann: http://climateaudit.org/2009/10/29/upside-down-proxies-baffle-the-team/ :)

( and he's been cleared of wrongdoing by 6 or 7 investigations - and no, they weren't mere cursory glances at his e-mails by colluding cronies ).

You're right, they weren't cursory glances - they didn't even *glance* at the emails.

Here, check out the details: http://thegwpf.org/images/stories/gwpf-reports/Climategate-Inquiries.pdf

I'm guessing that one is of the contemporary period and the other coincides with the last Dalton minimum that was aggravated by several notable volcanic eruptions. Yes, no? Good guesses or bad?

Any guess is a good guess, but in this case, it's a wrong guess. Lindzen presented this to parliament:

And truly, therein lies the problem - nature is perfectly capable of changing climate on its own, at the same rates we've observed in the modern CO2 spouting era. I've no doubt we humans have some effect, but the evidence is that this effect is minor, if measurable at all. The earth is simply not a fragile little teacup - it is a resilient beast that, much like your own body, maintains a form of homeostasis. In the same way that taking a warm shower won't give you a fever just because it's heating your body, our trivial contribution to a gas measured in parts per million, subject to all kinds of biological processing, is not going to show up in any sort of significant or catastrophic heating.

The record was recently broken: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/9112031/Paper-aeroplane-throw-in-US-sets-new-world-record.html

I'll admit to not having the whole context around the statement, but from what I see he never claimed any of those thoughts were fair to the person in question.

Here's the quote in context:

"I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous. Now, I remember also that when the Times Square bomber was at court, I think this was just last week. He said the war with Muslims, America's war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don't think there's any way to get away from these facts."

Emphasis on the part where he says that those thoughts are fair.

BTW, no one who has ever bombed an american airplane was wearing "muslim garb" which is itself a non-sequitur as there isn't one piece of clothing that a muslim might wear that isn't also worn by non-muslims. Even burqas.

I know of no religion that denies science. Hell, even the Pope recognises and acknowledges that evolution is real.

You can't be serious. While some religions do officialy acknowledge parts of science, there are many branches and offshoots that deny parts or all of it. What kind of alien being are you, if you never heard of this? Or this? Or this, or this? Or, heck, how can you not have heard of this?

It would be really difficult to structure a tax with the incidence falling solely on setups like the one Amazon has here.

It's not just Amazon - Google and eBay are doing exactly the same thing.

Apparently you aren't the first to have this idea. These guys filled a greenhouse with CO2, which was just waste from a nearby industrial plant. As a bonus, they heated the greenhouse with the waste heat from the plant. No surprise, vegetables grow really well in there! To me, that seems like a very efficient use of our "waste" and our land!

You do know there are other eyewitnesses who claimed that was not the case? That's your probable cause right there.

Fabulous! New information! I'm for new information. Here is a link showing the eye witness I'm referring to:

In addition, an eyewitness, 13-year-old Austin Brown, told police he saw a man fitting Zimmerman's description lying on the grass moaning and crying for help just seconds before he heard the gunshot that killed Martin.

And here is another report, which seems consistent with the above, and seems to be someone different:

After hearing raised voice, the witness said he peered out of the window and saw two men grappling with each other on the ground, one on top of the other. He said there were two struggles, both of which were on the grass next to a sidewalk. “I heard the yell for help then I heard another as I would describe as an excruciating type of yell. It didn’t even sound like a help it just sounded so painful,” he said. Following the cry, he described hearing “popping” sounds, believed to be multiple gunshots. One of the men then cried out for help.

And of course Zimmerman was treated on the scene for head injuries, which is again consistent with the other reports.

As it was, the police took Zimmerman in for questioning in handcuffs, and released him. They know where he lives.

Do you have a link for me?

How about the surveillance video from the police station showing Zimmerman with no injuries after he was brought in? If his head was slammed into concrete such that he was at risk of dying, you would have been able to see it half an hour later. Here's the link you asked for. I bet you don't even view it - you've already made up your mind.
