Wrong. Sometimes airplanes, being complicated pieces of machinery, do break at inopportune times.
For instance, I was on an American flight that sat at the terminal after pushback for almost half an hour because the APU wouldn't start and it took a long while to get a starter truck out there. Since it was the height of summer it was a thoroughly miserable experience.
Game theory, subtype "prisoner's dilemma". Because of our broken system, a vote for a third party ends up being a vote for the big party that you'd least like to vote for.
Sigh. Yes, it's good that the pensions are supposed to be pre-funded... but what you're not seeing is that by using a ridiculous standard (75 years!?) they're going to make the program fail, so it really is/not/ morally right.
Morally right would be pre-funding the pensions for a saner length of time and then allowing the USPS to raise rates to compensate.
It's the Republicans again; they pushed this on USPS in their quest to "prove" that everything the government does is worse than the private sector.
There's no Win32 port yet either

It's been... almost 3 years? and there's no stable, supported port of GTK+3 to Win32 yet. It's like they don't care about cross-platform programs written against their toolkit anymore.
A quick search hasn't turned up the answer: do I need to have Office 2010 SP1 installed for SP2 to go, or can I skip straight to SP2 from the gold release?
General Ludendorff stated in his memoirs that he believed the entry of the Turks into the war allowed the outnumbered Central powers to fight on for two years longer than they would have been able on their own. The war was extended to the Middle East with main fronts of Gallipoli, the Sinai and Palestine, Mesopotamia, and in Caucasus. The course of the war in the Balkans was also influenced by the entry of the Ottoman Empire on the side of the Central Powers. Had the war ended in 1916, that would have meant that some of the bloodiest engagements, such as the Battle of the Somme, would have been avoided. The United States might not have been drawn from its policy of isolation to intervene in a foreign war. In allying with the Central Powers, the Turks also shared their fate in ultimate defeat. This gave the victorious allies the opportunity to carve up the collapsed Ottoman Empire to suit their political whims. Many new nations were created including Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and the idea of a Jewish state in Israel was considered for the first time. Also, the closure of Russias only ice-free trade route through the Dardanelles effectively strangled the Russian economy. Unable to export grain nor import munitions, the Russian army was isolated from her allies and slowly began to collapse. Combined with the German decision to release Vladimir Lenin in 1917, the sealing off of the Black Sea was one of the critical contributors to the "revolutionary situation" in Russia which would explode into the October Revolution.
How anyone in his right mind can imply that such a device is qualitatively no different than, say, a baseball bat or a straight razor is simply beyond me.
It's simple: anyone saying so is deliberately lying because they place an inordinately high value on the availability of guns, or on a weak government. They don't care that their line of arguing weakens their entire point through dishonesty.
That's impossible to say for sure, and IMO hard to justify. The Mongols had conquered pretty much everyone they contacted until Europeans (specifically the Hungarians, IIRC) figured out that light cavalry (as the Mongols were) couldn't deal with castles.
At this point the Islamic world had fractured quite a bit and the Abbasids (rulers of Baghdad) were much reduced from the height of their power. They were also not the primary Islamic nation in contact with the Crusaders - those were the Ayyubids based in Egypt & controlling the Levant. The Abbasids only controlled part of modern Iraq.
No, it was really the Mongols sacking Baghdad that brought an end to the Islamic golden age and the rise of fundamentalism.
It's not unparalleled - in the Old Testament we see incidents of the Jews picking fights with bigger countries, losing, and deciding that they had lost because they'd been too socially liberal so they'd lost their god's backing, followed by a wave of fundamentalism.

If you've got Tor installed and set up correctly (you'll want to enable it being a SOCKS proxy) you could torify it:

Funny? Parent should be modded insightful.

You sound like you're prejudiced against unions.
Not necessarily. There's always someone who'll thieve no matter how well you pay them; it's human nature.

Don't be thick, you know they didn't do it because they care about the postal workers' union.

The answer is no, you don't need SP1 installed first. I have experimentally verified this.
No, not all MS SPs are. I give you Windows Vista, where you needed SP1 to be installed before SP2 would.
Win7 would probably have been the same way if MS had bothered to make a second SP for it.

If not, get some Highland Park from nearby. It's an excellent "summer" scotch.
Ayup, much better to respect the Benthic Treaties.
That right there is how they got to be a major newspaper. I'm not kidding.
They ain't gonna find shit.
