Soon:
- First maleware for cars spotted in the wild. Car manufacturers: "No problem. it only infects the multimedia system"
- Maleware displays a huge kitty on the HUD. First malware caused traffic accident with casualties.
I think auto manufacturers are waking up to the fact that women buy cars too.
It's other people's business if they believe that the voluntary degradation is liable to spread to non-voluntary degradation. I think that women have genuine cause for concern about some porn. But "genuine cause for concern" is not the same as "grounds for a ban", of course.
I really don't think is is even the majority in UK - cdertainly not the majority that I speak with. But it does appear to be a repeated obsession with a small but influential group of (mostly) chrisitan influential groups.
There's also a strong feminist element in the opposition to porn, and with Baroness Howe's background in the Equal Opportunities Commission I suspect that's where she's coming from. I can see the sense in that as far as some porn goes -- some does seem to carry a message of oppression and abuse of women. But most of the stuff I've seen just carries the message that some people enjoy sex with each other (ok, with perhaps a bit more interest in facials than I've experienced in real life, but that seems to be just so the camera has something to shoot). Have I been sheltered in the porn I've seen?
Nearly every company I've dealt with keeps VBA disabled for most users. When I used a VBA script recently I had to justify it to senior management. We do have one occasional customer who requires me to use templates that depend on VBA, though, so we are stuck with MS Office. Munich City is generally in a position to call the shots, though. I have to do what the customer wants; Munich City is usually the customer.
Changes to grammatical rules (the whole "Lists and a comma before 'and' thing" - for example: it used to be "Jim, John, and Lisa" but apparently it is now supposed to be "Jim, John and Lisa" for... some reason. I think it's idiotic as the first one better represents how one would actually say the sentence, though.)
Any such rule would be the style of a particular institution. There is no such rule of English grammar. Partly because ( as K. S. Kyosuke points out) because there's no legislative body for English, but that wouldn't be enough; it would still be considered wrong to, use' arbitrary~ punctuation! all` over [{] the place or fail to put a major stop at the end of a sentence
More significant is that there is absolutely no consensus over the Oxford comma. Some current style guides mandate it, some forbid it, and all of the respectable style guides add the qualification that you can break the "rule" to avoid ambiguity.
I think you're right, especially considering the other Fukushima figures. 40mSv also appears as "approximate total dose at one station at the north-west edge of the Fukushima exclusion zone" in the orange area.
If they have evidence that Kimberly Hester did that then they should follow their sexual harassment disciplinary process. If that process involves demanding that anybody violate Facebook's T&Cs by handing over their password then that process is not legitimate.
Is that how Peppermint Patty is portrayed in the TV specials? She's not at all like that in the books. She's practically a perfect match for Charlie Brown, which is why it's such a tragedy that he never sees it.
If I were to ask which country is Snoopy (living in a constant fantasy world and terrified of the cat next door) I bet most people here would name their own country.
Finally they hit upon an idea. Why not simply marry them off? In other words, why not find a way to give these men -- the most dedicated, competent, and implacable fighters in the entire PLO - a reason to live rather than to die?
This has been going on in Canada for years now. Even if you aren't landing IN the States, so long as you fly OVER you are subject to screening.
Yes, but Canada formally withdrew from the International Air Services Transit Agreement in 1988 so the first Freedom of the Air doesn't apply there. As far as I am aware the USA has not withdrawn from that agreement (yet), so this looks to me to be a breach of their international treaty obligations. I don't know the US legal system well enough to know what recourse a foreign national would have if the DHS refused them something that the USA had promised them by international treaty, though. Would it be a SCOTUS matter?
I am looking at my anemometer. It is 30 feet off the ground - that's surface wind.
Sure would like to know why my comment was modded to zero. Windmap fanbois?
Are you here looking at my instruments? No. You aren't.
The map is wrong.
You posted as anonymous coward, which always starts out with a moderation of 0. No, we're not looking at your instruments. Are you looking at the same windmap?
At the moment it's showing an easterly wind over Boston, not a westerly. You do know that wind directions are named for the direction the wind is coming from, not the direction it's going to, don't you?
I think it's fascinating that all along the Minnesota-Ontario border there's a southerly wind at the moment, but at the eastern end it's blown down from Quebec, looped around Chicago and is on it's way back up; in the middle it's come up from Texas, and to the west it's come in from Montana. That must make for some marked shifts of weather within just a few miles, and yet locally the wind would seem to be coming from the same place.
One of the differences between good essays and poor essays that research has identified is although they both tend to have about the same amount of hedging ("it can be argued that...", "possibly...") the poor essays hedge the wrong things. The poor essays hedge well supported facts and fail to hedge personal opinions or unsupported facts. If the software can spot that, I'll be impressed.

So you managed to avoid the rather tacky Channel 4 TV show? Well done!
Maleware.

Still, I can bet that 99.99% of you wank.
Yup, just did a few minutes ago, to *gasp* gay porn even.
Probably obligatory Avenue Q link.
Mod parent up.
Personally, I'm still waiting for the complementary ban on Harlequin Romance novels.
Glad to see that this has been modded up; I've already posted on this topic so I couldn't do it.
Not all Uk people. Certainly a wanker here :)

I'm not sure you're going to get away with calling all humanists idiots ;-)

Calories in popcorn? (Or are they kilocalories?)

You'd think -- but then, she is a chess geek, and he's probably pretty wealthy by Eastern European standards.

Written by a single person, surely.
There's no limit to the amoung of thermite you can carry on, and no limit to the amount of calcium carbide.
Just to name two.
Yes there is! It has to fit within that measuring gauge by the check-in, and you have to be able to lift it into an overhead locker.

Looking at a weather page for Boston it agrees with the windmap. Are you sure you know which way a westerly wind blows?
