My theory is because currently terrorism still has a bit of 'awe' factor behind it. Treating these cases like any other case would diminish that.
If that's the case, then we've gone backwards in the last year. I was incredibly relieved when the CPS decided to charge Lee Rigby's murderers with murder, rather than elevating them to terrorists. This meant that they could be shut down when they started sprouting their insane bullshit - which is what happened during the trial.
When that happened, I thought we'd started to reach a turning point - that terrorism wasn't a simple way of getting us to agree with policies - and I haven't received or heard any of the ridiculous ACPO* "suspect your neighbour" leaflets. We do have an election coming up next year, so maybe that's the reason.
The sane way to deal with this would be to charge them attempted murder, thereby making any political statements irrelevant to the trial.
* The ACPO is tentatively a non-profit organisation, but they do like to lobby and earn cash for selling records at 11667% of cost (£70 for a 60p cost)
I had a discussion about this with my mum - she said that she never remembers experiencing a power cut when growing up in Germany, however they were fairly common in Ireland. I've only experienced power cuts in the UK at our office, which is in the middle of nowhere.
My suggestion was that Germany had the "benefit" of having its infrastructure rebuild in the 40s and 50s. Also, I have a feeling that a large amount of the low tension cables in Germany are buried, rather than be exposed on poles, though I could be wrong about that.
Interesting, I'd never really looked at the knot I use to tie my laces - it turns out I've been doing it "correctly". So I had a look at the resulting knot - the correct way results in what looks like a Reef Knot whereas the incorrect way ends in a "granny knot" (I'll have to find the etymology of that one).
Odds are, I managed to do it correctly because of years of having to tie knots with cold water being dumped over me, a sailing flapping in my face, trying to steady myself on a deck at a 40 degree and with a tactician shouting "hurry up" because he gave me 45 seconds to change a sail. It turns out that I now struggle to tie knots while looking at them.
Well, they could get a friendly nation to detain his partner, question him for 9 hours and confiscate his electronic devices. Oh wait, that didn't work.
It's a bit like the rule I was told by a professional sailor - fibreglass gives way to steel. No matter if you think you have right of way, it's safer to err on the side of caution.
Reminds me of another joke: A man wakes up to the noise of a burglar in his garden shed, so he calls the police who tell him there's nobody available to respond. He hangs up, waits a minute and then calls the police and tells them "don't worry about the burglar, I've shot him". Very soon, the multiple police cars turn up and are able to catch the burglar in the act. A policeman accusingly says to the man "you said you shot him", he replies "you said nobody was available".
That's because you're programming against it. If you go easy on.Net and only program alongside it, then it'll start throwing it weight around like an unruly child.
My guess is that if you're eavesdropping on the connection, knowing the fixed heartbeat string would provide a fairly decent crib* which could be used for executing a Known plaintext attack.
* The RFC states that "The Heartbeat protocol is a new protocol running on top of the Record Layer", which to my limited knowledge means that is encrypted using a symmetric algorithm.

I wish I could find a link to the video - I love that series.
As I mentioned in a different post, they would have some idea about what the climate would do as they travelled North (colder), South, (warmer), East or West (somewhat similar) and would be able to plan accordingly. Likewise with supplies - they would have had an idea at what stage they would have to turn back to survive (or gamble and continue on). They would also have been confident about being able to collect rainwater and fish for food. As conditions became more severe, there would have been options to alter plans.
Like I said in my post, I'm no detracting from what was done in the past - when you look at the early voyages across the Atlantic (Vikings, Irish Monks), in fact what they did was bloody amazing.
But then, I was replying to somebody who appeared to be comparing a prospective Mars colonisation mission with the early American colonies -
By your standard, the Plymouth and Jamestown colonies were "suicide missions"; the people who boarded the Mayflower never expected to come back. The first colonists to Mars will never return, and probably wouldn't want to.
In that case, [some] people *had* come back and reported the conditions.
Generally people knew that the climate stayed fairly similar as they went East or West and [in the Northern Hemisphere] it got colder as they went North. Generally, as long as they found land, they'd be ok. They could catch fish along the way and collect rainwater.
Compare that to a mission to Mars - we know that there's not a lot to survive on once Mars colonists arrive. Also, fishing en-route might be a bit dull, though they might find Russell's Teapot so that's ok.
You're seriously comparing the Eastern seaboard of North America with Mars? Lets see: 1. People new a lot about the location before colonising (like we do now about Mars), so we're off to a good start 2. They knew the Americas had a breathable atmosphere (Mars doesn't -.145% O2), a minor setback 3. They knew the Americas had a habitable climate (Mars doesn't - average -55 celsius), not looking too good for Mars 4. They knew the Americas had native edible flora and fauna (Mars doesn't - we're still trying to find bacteria), survivability on Mars is decreasing 5. They knew the Americas had an ample water supply (Mars does - it'll have to be dug up and melted), well at least they can have a drink as they freeze death
Not detracting from what the colonists did, but they knew that they only needed to pack enough food and water for the voyage and the settlement time, plus the knowledge they could breath was an additional bonus.

I think they'll be called a KH11 Block V "DNE" - That'll be their revenue stream.

Not sure about the rest of Europe though.
How effective will these be when there's a car parked over them?
I think you should still be sceptical - here's an interesting critique.
I don't understand that part. Is it really that hard for a US company to manufacture these chemicals?
Bah, you have to drink gallons of that for it to have a detrimental effect. Now Hydrohydroxic acid, that's what you should be worried about.

What excuse will all the conspiracy theory lunatics use to explain rainbows now?
Warning - watching these may cause severe face-palming
The 2nd one is my favourite, a rainbow from a sprinkler - the horror.
I really can't believe that kind of thing is even allowed.

What's absurd about our traffic rules?
Really, I always thought it was wind that caused ocean waves. You learn new bollocks every day here.

And in the mean time, life gets interesting trying to run a business for almost 11 months without the $35,000 the IRS has "borrowed" from you.
DEHKO: Bullied by the IRS
IRS "voluntarily" dismiss two forfeiture actions...

Are you implying that cooking "kills" radionuclides?
Shockingly, CEOs personal beliefs don't always dictate everything their company does.
Case in point: Prison guards find mobile phone in hollowed out Weetabix
