Well after September the 11th, I thought the same as the GP - slow down, take stock and work out who was actually responsible, rather than go "batshit insane". And then I thought "how would I feel if it were somebody I knew". Then after my cousin was killed in Bali I realised my thoughts hasn't changed.
Then again I grew up in Ireland in the 80s, so I've always known that retribution trends to be a bad idea. The London bombings didn't change my views either.
The problem is that until 9/11, Americans were lucky not to have experienced terrorism to the extent, unfortunately it also meant that your politician's reactions *were* "batshit inane" when it came to dealing with it. I'm not trying to belittle what happened - it certainly was horrific.
As for open warfare - don't fool yourself, it was nothing of the sort. The reason that large scale attacks haven't happened on yours (or my) soil for years is because the terrorists who have the stomach to go out and kill themselves aren't very good at repeat performances. Look at today - yes it was a shock, but as if now, two people are dead and 30 odd critically wounded.

Brilliant - I'm going to have to have a look for a plugin that misspells words but still leaves the content readable. I'd try writing one, but am too busy smashing Kerbals into the Mun.
Then that's a procurement problem. The units should be bought by the security services who "should" be able to do a decent job of hiding who the buyer actually is, therefore preventing fraudsters like this from saying "Tested by the British Army".
As an aside, I found it very helpful that the Daily Fail showed pictures of what the bloke's house "could" look like.
Like you, I see my credit card as debit card, but the money doesn't get taken out immediately. I think I've paid interest once (after that I set up an automatic DD). However I'm a bit more picky where I use my credit card vs debit card. If it's the local coffee shop, butcher, etc, I use my debit card. If it's Sainsbury's, Tesco, BP I use my credit card. Every little helps!
I managed to get 1 minute into the second bloke's talk. Obviously I'm going to have to watch it again, but how can a public figure be so bad at public speaking? It makes me think he's going to lose the debate before he's started.
This. I can't believe that there is only one other person who climbs. I couldn't stand the idea of mimicking a hamster in a gym - I need something to stimulate my mind. Bouldering 3 times a week (I've tried twice in two days and failed miserably) and as you say, you can't just run at the wall without thinking the problem through (well, some people can).
The other benefit is that it's very social - people are always willing to discuss how they climb problems and give pointers (apart from one guy who once told me "you don't do it that way". To him I say "fuck you, don't be so arrogant". I was shown how do do it by a girl climbing V4)
Huh? If it's enriched uranium the decay mode is alpha particles. The wikipedia page has a photo of someone holding a disc of highly enriched U-235 with a pair of rubber gloves.
If it's Plutonium then the decay mode will still be alpha.
In all honesty, I'd be quite happy to see cyclists being given fines around where I am. In Oxford (apparently one of the great centres of learning, where they can't pronounce Magdalene properly) a huge percentage of the cyclists don't bother with lights, cycle abreast in traffic (I've even seen a few cycling the on the wrong down a cycle lane). Anyhow, I'd get hauled over the coals driving without lights or on the wrong side of the road, but cycling in a manner that can very easily cause an accident is apparently ok.
My solution is that the police should simply confiscate the front wheel of the bike - the owner can then pay for a new one, or pay a fine to recover it. Funnily enough, my sister who cycles in Dublin came up with the exact same idea.
And yes, I agree with the GP - if you don't want to get done for speeding, don't do it. It's not hard, I've managed for 10 years in the UK without a fine (driving a couple of stupid cars where it was altogether too easy). That's not to say I'm perfect, but the majority of people I know who've been done for speeding have been caught in residential areas or by average speed cameras in road works, and those are the places I'm bloody careful.
It's not DNS, as others have said it's done by IP. However, on our backup ADSL connection which is provided by Xilo (on a exchange with no LLU) we don't have a problem, so it appears to be only for the big ISPs, and not for smaller ones that use their infrastructure.
AAISP don't do any filtering either. I was sorely tempted to move from AAISP back to BT as their FTTC package was cheaper, but this is making me rethink that idea. Not that I pirate anything, but it fucks me off when my ISP tells me what I can and can't see.
Yup, a while ago I wondered when Google would bring Google now and search to a PC until I realised what's the point.
It's something I use all the time on my phone because (even for an English accent) it can be quicker for certain tasks than a soft keyboard. However typing on a proper keyboard will always be faster for me.
I would guess that's due to the hydrogen being used. I'd love to see this work and happen as the article describes, but I'm getting a little fatigued by all these "free energy around the corner" publications. Yes, I know, it's not actually free energy.
Unfortunately this sounds a bit like the e-cat, which again would be great if it worked, but Andrea Rossi's demonstrations leave a lot to be desired.
A colleague of mine did the same. He was inundated with calls because a company's (vet I think) flier has the wrong number on it. He even told the company that the number was wrong but they kept sending it out. Would have loved to have been a fly on wall when they had to tell customers that there was no appointment - how not to run a business.
Yup the wheels were 19" (9.5% smaller). However I tend to find that driving on the rims is noisy, reduces traction and makes the ride incredibly uncomfortable.
With winter tires, the aspect ratio of wall height to width is greater, so the actual tire diameter is almost identical:

Comparing philosophy to science and technology is a little unfair. Both are iterative processes - with philosophy you come up with a theory, ponder it, tweak it, and it evolves.
With science and technology you come up with a theory, ponder it, tweak it, test it, and it evolves.
The difference is that with philosophy that you only need a mind and will evolve rapidly. Whereas with science you have to test your theories by [usually] building it, which often requires materials and apparatus which have gone through a similar evolution. It makes the rate of progress far slower and highly dependent on the current level of technology.
What I was trying to say was that at least in this case you can disable the Kaspersky components so you can connect to the internet to download the update without resorting to sneakernet.
At least you can do that. I had a mate that installed McAffee (because it came bundled with BT's broadband package). His machine refused to connect to the internet, though ICMP packets were allowed. My first thought was "Disable everything that even resembles McAffee", but to no avail. In the end I did what I should have done initially - wipe every mention of McAffee from the machine - job done. I still don't know what was blocking the traffic.

Yes, because it's really important to gain access to your dead family member's firearms ASAP.

I'm intrigued, do you really believe that, or do you dislike the Clintons so much to spread FUD, or are you just fishing?

Yup, I can see that now. For some reason I completely missed that last night. Moral - don't post when absolutely shattered.

Well, for biological un-recyclable stuff, could you not fire it retrograde at 79m/s. That should get it to into an orbit with perogee of 100km.
What could possibly go wrong!

Then there are people like me that download it once and install it across 20 machines.

Considering any number 2^n-1 is prime [wikipedia.org], this isn't too impressive, except for maybe that they bothered to expand it into a full number.
Nope: 2^6 - 1 = 63. Correct me if I'm wrong, but 63 isn't prime.
At least you can do that. I had a mate that installed McAffee (because it came bundled with BT's broadband package). His machine refused to connect to the internet, though ICMP packets were allowed.
