All attempts at solving problems in the Middle East have failed.
Perhaps because all the attempts made have done nothing to address the real issues? I'd suggest giving Israel all of Texas and calling it the new Jewish homeland but I know that would go over like a lead balloon.
" Europe is taking the wrong approach to fighting terrorism, former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has told CNBC.
Speaking immediately after a series of explosions rocked the Belgian capital of Brussels, de Villepin said that they were "tragic events" but added that Europe should be showing that it is sticking to its rule of law and can only "reduce" the threat of terrorism.
"I do believe that our strategy should be very different than the one it is. Much less a military approach than a political approach, trying to find solutions in the Middle East and we are far from doing that," he said."
For some people, work is what they live for...and dying working is the best way to go. Unfortunately there exists those who would prolong a dying persons agony by forcing them to undergo procedures to prolong the agony of death rather than just letting their "loved" ones go. I've often thought that those "loved ones" are really full of hate.
Too many people are forced to suffer long and agonizing deaths in the US just to satisfy the beliefs of those who believe that "every thing should be done!" We are all mortal, accept that.
Personally I would love to support GMO foods by only buying foods that I am certain have been enhanced by science. I am a nerd, after all. Unfortunately manufacturers stubbornly refuse to proudly proclaim the technological advantages of their products on their labels. I really think their fear of a Luddite backlash is depriving them opportunities to draw us forward thinking types to their foodstuffs. Shame really.
...forbidding any "paywalled" links in summaries? They are very irritating to those of us who truly wish to research an article. Seriously, what is the point of providing citations that everyone can't verify freely?
There simply has to be some way that a second party can be paid without without revealing details about the first party. Hopefully somebody is working on a solution to this obvious weakness in secured transactions.
Hospitals have computers that run 24/7. Police departments have computers that run 24/7. EMS have computers that run 24/7. The military have computers that run 24/7. Just about any 24hr operation will have computers that run 24/7. Life doesn't end just because you are asleep.
When I was 11 I had a newspaper route. I bought a light for my bike that used a generator to produce light when I pedaled and that got my young mind thinking. Why not make a generator that produced the electricity and use its energy to turn the wheel? Of course I had no understanding of the conservation of energy at the time. I brought the idea up to my stepfather, his answer was "somebody smarter than you has already thought of that, you need to learn a trade." So I learned a trade and gave up exploring possibilities.
Why are those that we trust with our finances allowing funds to be transferred without live, in person, face to face interaction? It's not like none of us could go to the local branch verifying our identity right? Money is all about trust after all.
Public channels are funded by the public and commercial channels should be paying cable and satellite providers to deliver their commercials to viewers, not the other way around.
...do just that, block ads, and be even better at doing so if it is named "AdBlock Plus". There is nothing wrong with offering the user the opportunity to view "acceptable" ads if they wish, but it should be the users choice to choose what is acceptable, not the applications.
Pharma companies are like banks, their livelihood depends on sucking money from their "customers" continuously and forever. One off cures could very well put them out of business and there will we be, depending on government to research "cures" for the masses?
That is just plain silly. The longer the code is out there, the more likely that holes will be found. This applies to both closed and open source software.
Everybody who is anybody who runs Linux knows that it is the frequent updates that protects from exploits. Seriously now, who here is stupid enough to still be running a 4.3 kernel?
So have ratings on websites, I don't care. It is still your responsibility to censor. Requiring others to verify age shifts the onus to them. If you want to censor, then it is your responsibility to censor.
Actually I would. Too many people are issued a driver's license who are not both physically and mentally capable of driving. Are you proposing a license for sex then?

The man sounds on target to me.

...will make us stronger! All this worry over climate change is really silly. Adapt or die is the phrase for the day.

An article that can not be freely viewed can not be freely discussed.

The same way they investigated such transactions before there were electronic payments?
They who? Governments spinning their wheels going after small fish and ignoring the big ones?

So you don't think Police, Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics are average people? All those servers are on 24/7 so they can serve clients 24/7.
Hospitals have computers that run 24/7. Police departments have computers that run 24/7. EMS have computers that run 24/7. The military have computers that run 24/7. Just about any 24hr operation will have computers that run 24/7. Life doesn't end just because you are asleep.
Smartphones are computers that make phone calls, and most everyone who has one leaves it on 24/7.

Probably because of this "Thank you for visiting Forbes. We noticed that you have an ad blocker enabled." Which makes the site useless to many of us.
Damn, I can't believe people exist who are so lazy they can't even be bothered to censor for themselves.
