Why? I've used dia for uni assignments before, and I didn't feel the need to modify any of the code. The binary version worked just fine for me.
If a student really wants to hack the dia code, they can still download it. We have the internet in Australia, would you believe. Yeah we're still using IP/Kangaroo, but we're not as backward as you Yanks think.
Each of the Australian states has a governor who is the head of that state, so they are technically running the state. However, like the Queen it's an un-elected ceremonial office these days and the state governments are the ones making the decisions state.
Long gone are the days when the popular geek web site devoted to technology actually worked. Long gone are the days when there were actual technical explanations of outages. Instead its more stories about politicians arguing over traffic ticket revenue posted as "Your Rights Online", iPhone slashvertisements, slashvertisements masquerading as book reviews, and links to people's blogs about blogs about news stories, and/or tweets about tweets about press conference summaries.
Yeah, but/. brings all that together into the one package. I don't have to search around on 20 different websites to find all that.
Tasers have a camera on it, which should help with investigating alleged misuse. Unfortunately the police here use a grip which co-incidentally blocks the camera with their hand. Funny how that works. It makes any investigations he said, she said. Guess who is seen as more trustworthy: a police officer or a potential criminal?
In retail, a large proportion of the workforce are casual or part time employees e.g. students, mothers with young children who want short hours etc. If you're only working one or two shifts a week it's pretty hard to build up the detailed knowledge of your store's products.
At least, nowhere in the Qur'an will you find the suggestion that it is a good idea to murder the Gentiles when they are recovering from circumcision (Exodus, if memory serves), and nowhere in the Qur'an will you find the notion that you should repudiate your wife because she refused to perform a strip-tease for your drunken friends (Book of Esther)
Nice strawman there. Amongst other things, sections of the Bible are a historical document (including your examples). The stories of the people of Israel and the early Christians merely describe what happened are presented warts and all. In the historical sections its up to the reader to decide if the behaviour was good or evil when no judgment is made for you.
Or Israel keeps illegally claiming more territory by building settlements which pisses off the UN and the Palestinians. Both sides are equally to blame for the lack of peace in the middle east. Both Israel and Palestine will need to make compromises to secure peace. Unfortunately they both seem to cling to the hardline bullshit.
You must be new here. The +1 In* mods are often given to funny posts because the funny mod doesn't give the poster karma. Besides, funny is reserved for the same old memes repeated ad nauseum.
I know you were going for the funny mods, but crimes such ranging from assault up to manslaughter etc. limit what you can do with your fists or blunt weapons.
Government do have "checks" in the marketplace such as people getting pissed off at: increasing interest rates or declining standard of living or inflation or high taxes or businesses going offshore and the resulting unemployment.
It's not that hard to say 30cm instead of 1 foot. I guess it depends on what you grew up with. Anyone in the current generation outside the USA grew up with metric and degrees Celsius, so it isn't hard for us.
I think it's a little unfair the parent post got modded as Troll. Euthanasia is sometimes called "assisted suicide" i.e. there is someone else involved. There have been cases in Australia where the person/people assisting have been tried with manslaughter. I can think of two recent, famous examples, which provide strong arguments against euthanasia:
1. An elderly woman who was diagnosed with terminal cancer opted for euthanasia very early on, before her health started deteriorating. The autopsy revealed that the cancer diagnosis was a false positive. 2. An elderly person with mental illnesses was coerced by family members into euthanasia. These family members were tried and sentenced with manslaughter.
Back to the story at hand, I think Egan has a history of running away from problems if you RTFA, although he also did great things and had an interesting and varied career. He was honourably discharged from military service for being AWOL. He left EMC at the height of the.com bust. He left his post as ambassador after 15 months, with complaints it was too difficult adjusting to slow paced, diplomatic protocols after a life in business. It's no surprise to me that he chose to run from the final challenge in his life.
Parent post moderated funny? The mods are on crack today (Disclaimer: I was using mod points in a different topic).
I also think a knighthood is appropriate for the "Father of Computer Science". I'd think Alan Turing has contributed much more to Britain and the world than the likes of Sir Mick Jagger.

I think the keyword in your description of French protests is "Strike". It hits the people in power where it hurts - in the hip-pocket. Money talks.
Whoosh!
AC is correct, the GP post is wrong. This is why slashdot needs a -1 Factually Wrong moderation.

Shouldn't that be 10^94 ?

No, he held a gun to the guy's head while a hot blond was giving him a blowjob.
Did anyone else read that as NSFW server, or is it just me?
Where I come from the first row is pronounced to rhyme with how and the second one rhymes with grow.

Actually it's the reverse-Mugabe strategy. Mugabe redefined $LOTS as $1, because it turns out $LOTS wasn't worth a lot.

Zhey vurr ein German inwention you insensitive Klodd.
*cough* World Wars I and II. Or do only American casualties count?
I doubt Australia's PM would agree to that. Rudd and his government are opposed to gay marriage.
A robot couldn't perform any worse than politicians at that test!
