I may have misunderstood what you said about "Russia was the main part against Germany in WWII with Britain coming second (they were in it for 6 years)", I suppose those are the nuances of English and commas.
... signed in Moscow in the late hours of 23 August 1939... It remained in effect until 22 June 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
Officially, the Soviet Union was at war with Germany for [less than] 6 months more than the USA.
France & Britain declared war on Germany on the 3rd September 1939
As for the US, yes they only officially joined in after Pearl Harbour, and IBM made a fortune selling Hollerith machines to the Reich - very useful for cataloguing who was Jewish, handicapped or just undesirable. However the US did unofficially provide a great deal of aid and materiel to Britain pre December 1941.
You do of course realise that Pakistan is a sovereign nation and as such is allowed (many would say obliged) to shoot down foreign military UAVs which are operating inside their borders, especially when they have a habit of killing civilians.
Well, they do use 3rd party apps to advertise how good their phone is. Of course, it's possible that the developers get paid for helping advertise Apple's products, can anyone comment?
Not at all, I'm quite happy to see that the CPS are looking into it again. The problem is that the US quoted insanely high figures to support their extradition request. As far as I can see, they've included the cost of actually securing their systems in the damages that McKinnon may have caused. That's why I used my "changing the lock" analogy.
After I submitted my post I realised (exactly as you pointed out) that I should have qualified it with "they'd be liable for trespass, and damage to the vase, but not for me changing my locks".
You could extend that logic to say it's OK to mug little old ladies because they're defence-less and open to attack
I think you'd be hard pushed to find anyone who thinks that. However, if I leave my front door unlocked and somebody walks in, looks through my photos, rearranges some stuff and knocks over a vase, why should I expect them to pay to have my locks changed?
In light of a the attempted assassination of a congresswoman, throwing a lump of concrete through a window and flattening a computer definitely should be the highest priority for the police.
It is proven that birth leads in 100% of cases to death
You're highly likely to die at some stage in your life - estimates of the number of people to have lived is in the region of 108bn, and there are currently about 7bn people alive.
Thus, only 93.5% of people who have been born have died. Past observations can only tell us that every person who has died was born.
You never know, the elixir of youth could be just around the corner. Of course you could argue that the discovery of immortality could lead to the fall of society, therefore rendering immortality impossible.
This, he's likely to have access to a shared pc, that's enough.
When I was that age my dad had an amstrad portable (laptop doesn't describe it). I also had a mass of books to read and Lego to play with. Sure you can do more with a modern PC - I made use with works word processor to make ASCII art - but playing with something tangible was the preference.
Of course, things have changed. Give your child the option, but I hope computers will never replace real toys.
That's funny, neither do I. That's why I never linked Spotify to Facebook. Same with my Netflix account, I didn't fancy everyone being told I watched Nude Nuns with Big Guns, it's rubbish by the way. In fact I've linked nothing to my Facebook account.
I don't actually agree with the GP's comment about why Google weren't the ones being sued. You can look at and see that Google have sold far less Nexus phones than Samsung "infringing" ranges, the damages Apple would have received would have been far less.
To me it looks like Apple went for Samsung because they could get much higher damages and it doesn't look nearly as bad as suing Google - a local company like by a large percentage of the population. Now they've had this finding, I'm sure their plan is to start firing off broadsides at every possible company.
One of the reasons this trial ever happened was because consumers was mislead by Samsung into believing that they actually bought an Apple device instead of a Samsung.
Brilliant, you almost got me, but I managed to wriggle free of the hook just in time.
The analogy I use is this - imagine Frank Whittle patenting the turbojet - "A method for generating thrust from a tube(1). Air is taken in at the front(2), fuel is injected in the middle(3), and high speed hot air is ejected out the back(4)". That's all folks, not other details, just the inputs and outputs, and voila, a software patent is born.
Funnily enough, the only arguments that people have is whether you get the name wrong, not whether the concept is ridiculous.
There are 313 million people in the USA, and whilst they probably have one of the highest percentage of people with a good disposable income compared to the rest of the world, at some stage the rest of the world is going to say "it's not worth dealing with you guys". It's sad really, because you guys came up with some fucking incredible stuff in the past.

From Wikipedia - Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Soviet Union:
... signed in Moscow in the late hours of 23 August 1939 ... It remained in effect until 22 June 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union.

Agree with the rest of your comment though.
I like your thinking, however it's been some time since I've seen that level of sophistication from a politician or civil servant.
You do of course realise that Pakistan is a sovereign nation and as such is allowed (many would say obliged) to shoot down foreign military UAVs which are operating inside their borders, especially when they have a habit of killing civilians.
Seriuosly , how much lower can the US go, now questioning politicians from allied countries over their views.
I love this quote from a former Apple executive:
He explained features like “slide to unlock” took years to perfect, and “other companies shouldn’t be able to steal that.”
I think they need some better software engineers.
... takes personal property of another...
Does that mean that if I take property from my employer, it's not theft?
Well, they do use 3rd party apps to advertise how good their phone is. Of course, it's possible that the developers get paid for helping advertise Apple's products, can anyone comment?

Only if something distracts him just before he hits the ground. That's apparently how you miss the ground.

Damn it, I just tried that. Now I'm going to be disappointed for the rest of the day,

Exactly, it might be a good idea to report LeakID to the FBI as they've publicised that they (or their client) own said malware.
You're off by a factor of 10 -- 67 attoseconds = 67 x 10^-18, or 6.7 x 10^-17

Just wondering, has anyone else ever had a good experience with a Lexmark printer?

I did exactly this Eurostar trip a couple of months ago and it was an absolute pleasure. Think I might take the TGV to Bourg-Saint-Maurice next year.
I can see the possibility of not being able to add a card over the internet for whatever reason.
Typo, or can you tell us what reasons you can think of?
