I've friends who are A&E (ER to those across the pond) nurses, and they don't walk anywhere in their uniforms. Especially my friend in Hackney, London - because idiots think they'll still have drugs on them.
That said, the local police are very supportive, and the new ones that aren't get informed very quickly by their colleagues to change their act.
We have no so called black boxes to covertly monitor traffic and/or pass traffic monitoring to the authorities or anyone else. Obviously the law is such that we may have to add such black boxes, but we would resist as far as possible. We may even find we are not allowed to change this web page if ever that happens. However, I, as director, am happy to answer direct questions on this matter on irc (user RevK) or on twitter (@TheRealRevK) and you can get paranoid if I refuse to. If black boxes become mandatory we aim to find ways and services to maintain the basic human right to privacy.
I don't get the point you're making about the translation. Are you saying that google translate should be able to pick up the nuance in that sentence and return a different word for moon if the Spanish use different words for our moon and a moon?
You're general point is interesting though - are there any languages that do use different words for the two?
I really don't want you to be right, but you are. I suppose it's not worth pointing out that given two sets of 3 words, it's completely and unequivocally impossible to gauge the distance between them, because the average person probably won't even be able to tell you which hemisphere those "random" numbers are in, so where's the loss.
So the "hot air" rose up to the top of the fuselage, moved aft by 30ft and only then caused visible damage, but the actual fire that caused the hot air didn't cause any visible damage in the immediate vicinity of the batteries?
You'll also probably find that on the proviso that Ethiopia received aid from the US, a certain amount had to be spent on upgrading the transport, and guess what, our friends at Boeing will sell you an aircraft. International Aid often appears to be an elaborate method for funnelling money back into one's own country. Think of it as laundering for governments.
This happens fairly regularly. An example was China offering aid to [I think] Somalia to upgrade the infrastructure, but Chinese companies and workers had to be used. I'm trying to find references.
Cynicism bordering on paranoaia? Possibly, but don't tell me that you can't see that kind of thing happening.
Not really, that's a lovely media graphic and all, but the proper placement of the batteries is shown here, here and here
Anyhow, the batteries are kept below the passenger compartment, and the damage appears to be along the top of the fuselage (just in front of the vertical stabiliser) - I can see no visible visible damage around the area of the aft batteries.
Never underestimate the ingenuity that people are capable of in order to install something wrong. Somebody in our office forced (yes, forced) a Xerox Phaser ink block in the the slot the wrong way round. The thing is basically a shape sorter that a toddler is capable of understanding.
Yup, I often find it quicker to download PuTTY and use that rather than installing the telnet client in Programs & Features, go figure. It got to the stage that I now have a mini USB stick on my keyring that has PuTTY, Wireshark portable and various other tools.
Are we talking about the telnet client or the server? I can't see any reference to a Linux distro missing the telnet client, but my Google Foo could be weak this morning. I haven't had a distro for years where the telnet server is enabled by default, and on this laptop telnetd isn't even installed.
I wouldn't say I regularly make manual HTTP requests (along with SMTP & POP3), for me it's often a quick method to diagnose a network issue, but I do it often enough that it annoys me when I find telnet missing on a new Windows machine.
Similarly, it's often useful when testing an SSL connection using openssl -connect. I had a secure websocket server that was timing out on me, until I realised that it required a user-agent header, and even though I was sending \r\n\r\n it would sit there waiting for it.
I'm not sure I'm looking forward to requiring Wireshark to decode the binary protocol, but it should reduce overheads and parsing bugs, so I'd go with it being a good thing.
Yes, the problem is that random accidents and animal attacks are different than deliberate human actions.
How? The equivalent of the overreaching anti-terrorism controls in order to protect oneself from the miniscule number of actual terrorists would be to lock yourself in your house and if you do go out, wrap yourself up in bubble wrap and a kevlar hazmat suit. And that would be ridiculous, wouldn't it. It's pretty bloody easy to deal with terrorism, the point is, are you willing to change your whole life (and your view on morality) to do so?
If you get this wrong it is easy for the numbers to change quickly. 9/11 - 2,973 dead. 7/7 - 52 dead. Bali - 202 dead. Madrid - 191 dead, 1841 wounded. In Iraq they were suffering multiple attacks per week of this sort at times.
I don't think any amount of controls would prevent terrorism in the UK if we'd seen a total of about 1,200,000* people killed in the last 33 years
* Multiplied by 2 as Iraq's current population is about 31 million, where as the UK is about 63 million Iran/Iraq war 150,000 - 375,000 soldiers 100,000 Civilians 50,000 - 100,000 Civilians in Al-Anfal campaign
Gulf war 20,000 - 35,0000 soldiers 3,600 civilians
Gulf War II 28,000 - 37,000 soldiers 103,000 - 113,000 civilians (estimates for violent deaths are as high as 645,000)
I think the problem is that unless you're very familiar with Mars and its satellites it's a little bit of a let down to see a group of pixels move across the screen, rather than the stunning moon rise we see regularly here on earth. I know I was.
It's not that I have lost any sense of wonderment, it's just that my lack of knowledge allowed me to build up a mental image of a visibly cratered moon rising over a dusty red planet's horizon. Then I searched for photos of Phobos and realised that that was pretty dumb.
Compare this to my awe at watching the transit of Venus (online, it was too cloudy where I was in the UK to see the exit), and all I was watching was a black circle move in front of the sun, but that was how I expected it to be.

Yup, Guido Fawkes has already run a poll on whether he should sue Claire Perry. 86% of people say yes. He's already asked her to remove the tweet, but it's still up there.
Street value.
To be fair, he's got nothing to do with it any more, but he's always willing to help people uninstall McAfee AV.
I tend to use the ambient light from the house along with a few candles or lamps - so much nicer than a dazzling flood light.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will blah blah blah blah blah. 1984^H^H^H^H The Simpsons is not an instruction manual.

I'm planning on writing to my MP and asking him for permission to watch porn, and how to go about doing so.

Footage of starboard side

and a stationary angular velocity sensor is right all the time.
Not if it's giving a non-zero value at rest

Squad must be ecstatic, KSP has become the de-facto analogy when it comes to space related tutorials pretty much everywhere.

I never thought about it that way - I'll have to remember that one.
I would, but I'm being too anal about getting my ship put together in orbit. Jebediah's getting bloody impatient in the hitch-hiker module.
