I saw this on the BBC website, it's just a press release really, trying to make the PRS sound like they're offering a solution rather than constituting the problem.
Relativity is not the reason for stating both the location and time of the origin. Cambridge moves through space along with the Earth, on which it is located. Even only in terms of its location relative to the Sun, Cambridge is 200 million miles in July from where it was in January.
Bitterness is now easily treatable by internet therapy. Sufferers are encouraged to vent their frustration by posting mentalist rants on comments boards. It works wonders I assure you.
I expect that if you slaughtered 60,000 civilians in any country, and sparked off a civil war in which a further 600,000 died, that would cause a material decrease in unemployment. Good news for the survivors no doubt.
Unfortunately, up to now the US government has taken the view that offshore gambling sites do fall under its jurisdiction, if they offer services to US citizens. Executives from more than one gambling company have been dragged off to US jails after incautiously visiting the country - even though their activities were entirely legal in the countries they're based in.
Yes, the gap between Memorial Day and November 11th symbolically represents the 2-year gap between the start of WW2 and the US entry into the war. You can keep WW1 by the way as, unlike WW2, it was fought between fascists rather than against them.
Now, getting back to the subject of LISP, fast it may be, but if I wanted to write code that was hard to understand I'd use FORTH or a macro assembler, not some god awful mess of brackets that only John McCarthy understands.
I tried the last version of Chrome and it installed a shedload of other crip-crap, including the notorious Google Update. I'll give the new version a go iff I can just install the browser.
I agree that anonymity is essential in order for people to be able to speak freely, but it's foolish to post information that could link you to any particular IRL situation.
The Highway Code is not law and it specifically says so inside the front cover. But since the chance of any of the UK's cyclopaths having read the Highway Code is zero, the point is academic.
Much as I agree with Bill's remarks, I think that New Labour are likely to agree to this measure because it fits their classic pattern of bringing in no-trial, no-evidence punishments. Cf ASBOs and fixed-penalty fines. One of the most worrying things about their regime has been their attitude that the courts are simply an inconvenience to be bypassed.
The book's author is a brave man - the UK authorities are trying to criminalise even critical or questioning attitudes to blanket police surveillance of the population, as seen in the notorious terror hotline posters ('A bomb won't go off here because she reported someone studying the surveillance cameras').
I suspect that the author of that 'review' would agree with New Labour's pro-surveillance position, if he isn't on their payroll already.
Police surveillance cameras constitute a blanket false accusation of wrongdoing against anyone who comes within their purview. They should only be used (a) in genuinely dangerous locations like subways [underpasses] and (b) to observe people against whom there is a genuine suspicion. That's a genuine, good faith suspicion not the usual vague handwaving about terrorism/organised crime/insert Daily Mail concern of the week here.
I'm interested to hear about this policy of not targeting civilians. I suggest that its implementation should be more closely monitored, since US forces managed to kill 60,000 Iraqi civilians during the invasion, and at least 5,000 of those died during the initial 'shock and awe' raids. God knows what would happen if they were actually trying to target civilians.
So the idea that insurgents might have been interviewed is the REALLY outrageous part of the whole 'game based on a notorious civilian massacre by US occupation forces' concept?
The point is that the police are judge, jury and executioner in such matters. It may not be illegal to photograph them, but they'll seize your camera anyway, and arrest you if you protest. Getting a ruling 6 months later that they acted illegally is no consolation for the bruises.
If any of your visited sites are Tor nodes, then no doubt the security goons will use that as prima facie evidence that you were up to no good. Privacy means nothing to these people.
On the other hand, plenty of Tor nodes are already run by the police or the secret police, so it won't make a great deal of difference.
If they're that concerned about protecting their brand name, they should sue those police officers who've been using their products to torture and kill people IRL.
I'm disappointed that so many people on here are blaming the dead girl for this, when of course the blame justly lies with the people who leaked information to which they had privileged access.

That's the sort of thing an airport securithug would say. They're running trains to transatlantic destinations now, are they?
I don't have preconceptions either way about aspartame, but Snopes isn't necessarily an impartial or well-informed source.

If this is a genuine picture, it's a triumph, one of the best astronomical photos I've ever seen.
Indeed. And give them as much training as you like, it still won't stop them flogging the data to private investigators and tabloid journalists.

Recoup your losses over 'Fallujah Civilian Massacre Mayhem' by getting '747 Panic Spreader' out onto the shelves pronto.

Because otherwise the artists would have been paid their full share of the profits by the big-hearted film companies.
