'The West' (America, England, France etc) have supported, propped up, or installed dictators in numerous countries on the African continent at some point or another within the last 20 years. You left out Russia and China, but they're the good guys so nobody should criticize them.
Then they blame the pilot for being hard on the rudder. And some worthless US government functionary leans over forwards to appear fair, and goes along with blaming the dead pilot.
The pilot can dance a jig on the rudder pedals and the damn rudder should not fall off!
I have never been on a Airbus, and will try hard never to be on an Airbus.
They're cheap glued-together crap. Obviously the result of committees representing *multiple* socialist governments. Perhaps the second-worst way to design a passenger plane. The worst is a committee of a single big communist government.
Sure, the '37 had some rudder reversal issues a decade ago, but they did not come unglued during the excursions. Shareholders have limited patience, unlike governments.
And you'll not smear me with "xenophobia" or whatever the current socialist excuse for not thinking is. I'd get on a Japanese jumbo with no worries whatsoever, if they made any.
Here's hoping that Japan starts building heavy bombers and their civilian spin-off passenger liners. *Clink!*
Were a thing labeled "top secret" dropped into my lap, and if I had reason to believe the thing was a real top secret, I doubt I would read it.
It would go straight back where it came from.
If the lawyer had clearance, then the only thing I care about in this case is that enemy lawyers have top secret clearance.
If the lawyer did not have clearance, why was he reading it?
Look, we all have to hold things in confidence. I have the source code for a very popular game, and I can guarantee that nobody has looked at my copy in years (carbon date the dust on its box or something).
Reverse engineers have to clean room their brains. Data abstraction and need to know. NDA and NCA.
If the lawyer knowingly exposed himself to information he knew he should not have, he has broken the law.
You'll have better solar array efficiency because of brighter sunlight and no dust. Or you could use nuclear power. But wouldn't nuclear power like totally mess up the environment on the Moon?!
"Students of history will recall that the US government's ill-advised coup against Iranian leader Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 and its subsequent installation of the Shah as the supreme ruler led to intense hatred of the United States and eventually to the radical Islamic revolution of 1979."
Yeah, after Mossadegh stole an oil company and dissolved the Iranian parliament to avoid impeachment:
Ron Paul is no Libertarian. The Libertarian Party is against the initiation of the use of force and the credible threat of force. Mossadegh and the Mullahs do not deserve a pass, stealing is violence, terror is precisely the initiation of violence in order to increase the credibility of further threats of violence.
Rupaul and his gang of thugs are the useless idiots of our times.
When the shuttle launched last week, the headline quoting NASA was 'perfect launch'.
They are more worried about bad press Of course they are. The press is bad. The press has idiots thinking that NASA is lying about the condition of the orbiter:
This story about a computer glitch on the ISS is a smokescreen Of course it is. NASA hires fiction writers to come up with this stuff. They actually have more people writing fiction than they do writing code. And they tried to kill O.J. Simpson when the Capricorn One mission failed.
The press is so bad you actually accused NASA of making up a story about computer trouble.
The press is bad.
It is damned unfortunate that people actually believe the press, when year after year story after story is revealed to be fiction from lede to -30-.
That the hard work of thousands of smart people gets shat upon by fraudulent airheads.
That it doesn't matter how great a job they do every tiny issue becomes a real threat to funding.
We've known about gamma ray bursts for a long time. It's just that now we know how fast the matter is moving that causes these bursts. I know that matter moving at ludicrous speed causes bursts of plaid.
I too blame the Seattle Sound. And the city of Seattle just to be sure.
There are two dynamic levels, with no crescendos, just jump between them.
The levels are, "singer whining" and "singer yelling."
As someone who is just re-learning music mixing and mastering (golly, have things changed since the 80s!) I gotta say, it takes about a day to learn this idiot-simple formula. With auto-faders it's pushbutton easy.
Who would have thought that a band named "Nirvana" would cause a musical hell?
please make it stop! Okay you asked for it, Make It Stop DRM-free MPEG-4 AAC. Not much subtlety but it is named correctly.
"March 20 - Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown), a former Black Panther, is captured after a gun battle in Atlanta, Georgia, that leaves a sheriff's deputy dead."
"October 12 - In Aden, Yemen, the USS Cole is badly damaged by two suicide bombers, who placed a small boat laden with explosives along-side the United States Navy destroyer, killing 17 crew members and wounding at least 39."
There were at least 18 Americans killed by terrorists in 2000, one by a domestic terrorist.
I'm sick of it taking up every waking moment of our intellectual lives.
Then don't let it.
Learn a new musical instrument or something to take your mind off terrorism.
Quit watching the news. They've been writing the same story ever since Coalition forces were bogged down in Mazar.
I'll give you next week's news, "bogged down, bogged down, bogged down, bogged down, bogged down, bogged down, and an editorial page devoted to bogged down."
Ever get the idea that some people want you to feel fatigued about the GWoT? Hmm, who would that be?

A better question would be "is there a major web-site which doesn't have a presence from at least one intelligence agency?"
And that's just accounting for those in the open!
Excellently concise. The quote marks seal the deal.
Nothing related to communications in the US is at all a free market.
Maybe CB radios was as close as it ever came!
Another way to think of it is "Mac OS X is not going away."
The sanctions were going to end. Whining about starving Iraqi children and all that crap.
That is why Saddam had to go.
Get it yet?
Please don't insult crack users like that.
If anybody needed proof that there is such thing as too much Star Trek....
Are you kidding?
The damn tails fall off of Airbus planes.

Many, many toxins are also good medicines.
Like the great nutritionist Nietzsche said, "what does not kill us makes us stronger."
"Pure" math is math for its own sake, divorced from application.
And CS is riddled with that silly idea!
Here's what any sane person would think when presented with the idea of "pure" math,
"There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not someday be applied to the phenomena of the real world."

Yes, I know, the law does not apply to lawyers.
Maybe it should.

These CIA actions helped win the Cold War.
The "abuses" did have a purpose, a lofty one at that.
Yes, yes, I understand, the losers of the Cold War are still upset.
Seems they were born that way.
Ron Paul's disconnect from reality is his own problem.

Because the press is bad.
In other words, even if the intel had been more up-to-date, Saddam was a goner.
And *anything* the United States government said or did was going to be called into question by the Saddamites.
Which means that even if the intel had been more up-to-date, we would be exactly where we are today: Saddam gone and his allies griping about it.

All orbits are mostly elliptical.
A circular orbit is just a special case of elliptical orbit, with eccentricity = zero.
Just like a square orbit would be a special case of rectangular orbit.
