He's a major potential target, right? That's because everyone knows his face, his name, his job, et.c.. If his photo was blurred, he'd be safe. If his name was blurred, he'd be safer. If no one knew who the US president was, he would be safest.
There's that. And if you suspect that an unknown sub is in the area, the last thing you want to do is to maneuver violently. That'll give away your position for certain.
No, you maneuver as violently as needed to avoid hitting the other sub, after all they might all be asleep, drunk, dead or pigs might be flying. Absolutely the last thing you want to do is to collide with it. That really will give away your position for certain. You're in the big whale-like thing with metallic scrapes down one side and lots of bubbles coming out.
I'm in Britain, and my ISP is Demon. I just reached archive.org and used it successfully for one or two sites (no I did not check for any kiddie porn sites). So if they did block the whole thing, they've had second thoughts.
If (or when) the technology is developed to listen to and log everyone's face to face conversations, then the government will want to use it. After all, anyone could conspire with anyone else at any time to plot a crime, and they are the government, they need to know about it.
And if people are talking in a language or even a pronounciation that the snoopers cannot understand, it will be an offence not to provide an exact translation.
Giga is from the Greek gigas, with two instances of the standard or 'hard' g. The common pronounciation has always been the standard, and it is correct.
I'll take your comment at face value. The article is not about individuals who are affected by PCB's, but of their maternal inheritance. It says that if your mother had bathed in PCB's (not you), then you would be more likely to show feminine characteristics.
Once North Korea has ICBMs they will sell them to Iran and the like.
Once the United States has ICBMs they will sell them to the United Kingdom and the like... oops, that's already happened. Oh well, someone has to do it first.
Who comes up with these ideas? These schemes keep emerging from the government whoever the politicians are. I've said before that sometimes I feel the Stasi came over here to the UK after the fall of the DDR, and they were not politicians, they were appartchiks. I doubt that kicking out this adminstration change anything? A total cull of parts of the Home Office and Justice departments seems to be what is needed.
This shows the problems of pragmatism in government without principles, ethics, or other background. This government has always been pragmatic, partly because principles are also known insultingly as 'ideology'. Without an ethical framework it is easily seduced by the latest bright idea. Many or most of them are from its civil servants since the ministers generally don't have any original ideas of their own. Some of these ideas, such as deregulation of the financial system , can be seen to be stupid ideas now.
Now, a combination of its security people and IT people have persuaded it of another bright idea that will make everyone safe and secure. Unfortunately, failing an East Germany type revolution, this idea is likely to be more permanent than the deregulation of the financial system, but we will not be any safer than people in East Germany were under the Stasi.
In other words, he knew perfectly well what he was doing was going to affect people outside KY and he did it anyway. Can't we do something do him for that?
Of course you (or your government) can do something. That is to declare war on Kentucky. I'm only half joking, this is ultimately how limits to power are established.
Mandriva is based in France, and much of its userbase is French, and other non-English speaking languages. (As you find out if you search for help on it and keep turning up non-English pages.)
I suspect that Distrowatch which AFAIK has no non-English pages will show a lower hit count for such distros. Is there any other good reason for the now dated but English based relative of Mandriva, that is PCLinuxOS, to show a higher hit count?
I The thing that strikes me is that non-Christian accounts of creationism would be taken in also. It said Muslim, but why stop there. Why not throw in other man made religions too?
The thing about Islam (and Judaism) is that they are both part of the western religion which originated in the same tradition, and with Christianity they accept the account of Genesis with minor variations. Hence they could and would lend support to Christian creationists. Other religions have quite distinct ideas. Some eastern religions teach that the world is an illusion (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_(illusion) ), or that we are all part of a dream by some great being. Such teachings are not likely to lend support to creationism.
I always found the idea of swearing on the Bible to be very amusing.
An answer I remember from school about Matthew, that he only tells you not to swear by Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, or by your own head - so swear by the book instead.
I have to admit the James version, in English anyway, is clearer - don't swear by anything.
Let's carry on;
The US is not a democracy since not everyone can vote, voters have been arbitrarily stripped of the vote for imagined offences, and the popular vote can be overridden by an electoral college.
It is an imperialist state that has attacked more countries than any other in the last century. It is actively and aggressively exporting its ideology. It has the only state to have used a nuclear weapon.
Or there's no pollution in the US, never has been. The rest of the world has nothing to worry about from US manufacturing or transport. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere now are someone else's fault; probably the French till the Chinese came along.
Sullied reputations are a problem even with the old print journalism. It's a good job that a knowledgeable judge has raised this problem in this way. He probably knows that their names will leak out on the internet anyway.
Well, I've read the parent post to mine, again. I even followed it using the parent button. I haven't missed anything, except that I forgot that 'summary' is used to refer to an intro to a slashdot article - I used it to refer to the parent post. BTW, the parent post is that by MozeeToby.
You're right, in that you are completely wrong! And your summary should be taken with a very big grain of salt. Your summary;
1. confuses the non proliferation treaty (an international treaty) with an act passed by the US alone,
2. confuses the 'international community' with the United States,
3. seems to assume that Russia needs US permission to launch its own space vehicles.
Are you sure you're not the US department of State?
Governments use terrorists. States use threats to its own people to get more control over them. 'Terrorism' has been very useful for this purpose; much better than burglars, 'communist' union activists, or even paedophiles. For a parallel, most Chinese will refer to Tibetan protesters of any kind as terrorists; just what the Chinese government needs.
That's crap.
The United States is the worst CO2 pollutor; historically and cumulatively. They are still the lead polluter per capita, and will be for the foreseeable future per capita;
See a US government report at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CO2-by-country--1990-2025.png . The Chinese may now be lead polluters in particulate output.
For obvious reasons nothing will grow below a solar panel.
Not correct. You probably mean that nothing that needs photosynthesis will grow in darkness. What you will have under a freestanding solar panel is shade from direct sunlight. This is a different matter; partial shade is good for numerous plants, including many crop plants. Think of the difference between umbra and penumbra, and between sunlight and skylight.

So what is the reason for the relatively low price of the almost equally good (for all purposes that I have anyway) Intellicad?

gigawatt is correctly pronounced, "jigawatt",
No it isn't.

Patents cost WAY too much. It is virtually impossible for a middle class person to obtain a patent on anything.
So it's alright if a working class person (or whatever you term someone who earns less than the middle class) can't afford a patent?
I was not suggesting that there is a problem. I was suggesting that a significant proportion of its users may not visit English language websites.

Among other polluting practices there are many that the US still leads in. See for instance total nuclear tests at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_tests#Nuclear_testing_by_country and high altitude tests at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_nuclear_explosion.
