Because the vast majority Muslims who either enter or leave "the land of milk and honey" are not enemy combatants or terrorists or intending to fight any kind of war.
Yes, but that's not the point is it? We're not talking about the vast majority of Muslims, we're talking about the ones that have just returned form a war zone.
Not as originally stated, although that is often assumed to follow. For example, the Jargon file has:
“As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.” There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.
Seeing as how the BBC article clearly mentions that the "Passengers" (aka Researchers) on the ship have been rescued.
Passengers is more accurate than researchers, because some of them were paying tourists. Given there were 52, quite probably the majority were tourists and guides.
BTW, IT IS used extensively in many enterprise application, including very demanding stuff like stock broking and trading (I have designed it for a large customer myself who serve more than million trades a day, so I can speak with some authority). This is a big news exactly for the same reason.
In your obscure corner of the world, it may be big news. For the 95% of us who've never used it, sorry it's not, really.
It might be considered "acceptable", but it still manages to annoy me. It seems pompous to insist on the apostrophe.
Shrug. Chambers only gives Hallowe'en as the spelling, doesn't list Halloween as an alternative at all. Being annoyed about an alternative spelling seems a trifle odd to me, especially when it's the earlier one.
>However, the police have found no guns or, in fact, any evidence of any crime. They would certainly be crowing about it if they had.
This is such a non-story the BBC aren't bothering to report it.
British police tend to say very little, to avoid being accused of prejudicing a future trial. The arrests were Sunday evening, and the suspects can be help up to 48 hours before being charged or released.* There isn't really much to add to the story until then; expect a further statement in a few hours. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24530867
*Although they could apply for a magistrate for an extension, in terrorism cases.
There is no good cop bad cop game. Syria is Iran's only ally. Obama wants to change it's government and weaken Iran. Putin wants to keep it's government, because otherwise he would lose strength in the region.
Well, you can't really blame Putin for preferring an evil dictator that sort of keeps the country together to letting the crazies in. It's pretty much what the West did with Saddam Hussein.
Because chemical weapons stocks are often poorly maintained and dangerous to handle and dispose of. Because working in NBC suits in a desert is a shit job to start with, without having to do it in a warzone.
I mean if you have official looking letterhead, that means you must be legitimate, right?
Thankfully, the days when our admin people wanted a fax on headed notepaper before they believed a business was legitimate are long gone. However, the ways that legitimate business people identify themselves to you are still very primitive. If you're lucky they send you a notification that you can pick up a PM. Banks are often the worst, where they robocall you and want you to provide personal details before they tell you why they called.
Why would they tell every minister everything, or every Congressman everything, when far too many of them have their own agendas from an extreme third party, or can't keep it in their pants, or are in and out in 2 years.
He was a privy councillor and member of the National Security Council, so would have been security vetted. There's ten members of the latter at the moment, so it's a fairly exclusive club.
I'm not a fan of the series in any incarnation, but assuming the report is accurate, I'm thrilled that those that are fans may finally be able to dig a little deeper into the archives.
It's a tabloid newspaper, on a Sunday, when all the journalists are at home, and they just make shit up instead. I'm going for 100% untrue, until proved otherwise. Fan sites seem completely dismssive also.

It doesn't mean you automatically lose a debate

There's likely more than one already.
bpf has used one for twenty years or so; not sure when that got merged in the Linux kernel.
The tornado GR4 is a bomber, not a fighter.
BAE, the manufacturers claim it was a Tornado fighter, although they may have tested on another variant.
Nice try, but no. The UK startup was named "Premium Interest", so its a logical trademark.
However, it wasn't incorprated until April 2012.
There is the local/global bit and the multicast bit, so it's more like 4 million other companies. However, you are essentially correct.
So, Coca-Cola went and spent $665 dollars for a single block. This is not news.

But why make not picking up after your dog an arrestable offence anyway?
The concept no longer exists in English law, all offences are arrestable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrestable_offence
I think they just found a new enhanced interrogation technique.
A new one, hardly. They've been using it for 50 years. http://www.salon.com/2007/06/07/sensory_deprivation/
Interesting that this book was published about 10 years after 'Neuromancer' covered the same ground. Gibson must have done his homework well.
Unfortunately, they made the written offer via Snapchat, so it disappeared after 10 seconds.
So why warn away from SHA1 NOW?
If developers are using it today, then you will be next year, and the year after, when attack are more feasible.
what are we going to use?
I'm not a cryptography expert but if SHA-1 is too weak, and SHA-3 not quite there yet, why not SHA-2?
Bonus: they get to keep their voting rights after they are out
I don't believe you need to qualify that: they get to keep their voting rights, period. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11674014

Aren't you about 40 years too late to be flabbergasted by an optimizing compiler?
Turns out it means base, foundation, fundament etc.
Which reminds me of the sinister connection to Frank Herbert and Isaac Asimov: http://www.ansible.co.uk/writing/ft158.html

How is it dirty?
Because chemical weapons stocks are often poorly maintained and dangerous to handle and dispose of. Because working in NBC suits in a desert is a shit job to start with, without having to do it in a warzone.

Changing a DNS record is small beer, though. Social engineering by fax can acheive much more than that: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/18251472/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/prison-releases-felon-after-getting-phony-fax/

Properly, one should be using (thin) spaces with SI units; I would link to NIST but they seem to have taken the day off.
