Whiskey is a distilled beverage, basically "dead" so to say. Some wines (granted, not all) still have some micro-organisms when they're bottled. Not really countering your point, mind you, just adding in some precisions.
The article doesn't even mention if the tasting was a blind experiment. If it wasn't, even the tasting's results are totally insignificant.
I'd be interested in a study about beer brewing in micro-gravity. Specifically, how yeasts handle such atypical conditions. Would have some practical purposes, besides the booze.
Interesting theory, but while I haven't much sympathy for anything coming from the government of Israel since Yitzhak Rabin has been assassinated by an Israeli terrorist, I think the Mossad would be more subtle and competent than that.
What's amusing is that when a grave accident happens because a self-driving car's expert system is faulty, any court with the flimsiest grasp of logic will blame the seller, not the owner of the car. As a result, any damage will be on the seller, the manufacturer, etc. But apparently they don't seem to care. I'd suggest we watch closely what kind of ad-hoc law they will be pushing to avoid this fate through their political minions.
I'm not very prone to colds, but it's my experience that when I'm sleep-deprived, I feel much more sensitive to cold weather. It's interesting to see it wasn't just an impression of mine, and if I stop being lazy I may read the full article, to see if they have found what mechanisms are at play.
Again, we're speaking of procedure. Napoleon formalized the laws (or rather, Portalis and some others did it at his behest) but as far as procedures go, he didn't change much. Germany was already using a form of inquisitorial system centuries before Napoleon went there with his clique of happy campers.
But it just comes to my mind that I'm defending myself on the wrong ground, since I did say in my original post that German procedures have nothing to do with Napoleon, in which I was plain wrong. What I should have said is that the German legal system hasn't been turned inquisitorial by Napoleon. Neither has the French one, for that matter.
And sorry, I didn't bother to try to fix your broken link in order to see what you wanted me to see. I'm lazy. Almost as lazy as Slashdot's staff who can't be bothered to add Unicode support to the site, even though it's easy.
You're mostly right, but it has nothing much to do with Napoleon. France follows the inquisitorial tradition of courts procedure, while in the USA (and UK) the adversarial tradition is used. Germany has inquisitorial procedures, for example, and they have nothing to do with Napoleon.
They were willing to share the data because Germany is an ally of the US.
True, but usually between allies it's a matter of courtesy and long-term mutual benefices, not a matter of bargain. I doubt French and German intelligence agencies traded something with the CIA in the summer of 2001 when they warned it that something big was afoot.
To put it another way: to individuals, everything that isn't explicitly forbidden is allowed, but to institutions, everything that isn't explicitly allowed is forbidden.
Because they aren't the same? Because they provide further regulations? The FAA permitting flight below 500 feet in some cases, and CA law forbidding to fly below 350 feet? I see absolutely no interference nor redundancy. Did I miss something?
I tend to agree with you on many matters, Opportunist (not that you should care) but in that particular case I respectfully tell you that you're talking out of your ass. The assaliant has ties to islamic fundies, even past connections to the Kouachi brothers, among other things. He's an example of "low key terrorism". Not really a lone rabid wolf, but also not part of a very structured organisation. A particularly dangerous bunch, because those are uneasy to detect before it's too late, since they aren't into any very structured "cell", but have access to better means than lone activists.
And here it becomes "news for nerds": this guy wasn't completely off the radar, he'd been watched as a potential threat for years, just like the Kouachi brothers. The proposed new legislation in France wouldn't result in any progress on how this was handled, only additional human means would, without the need to change laws.
The American man who was shot in the neck, Mark Moogalian, isn't a marine (none of the people involved are, by the way, but this has been covered by other comments), but a professor of English at La Sorbonne university in Paris. By the whay, he would probably have died if Airman Spencer Stone hadn't some medical training and hadn't know where to put his finger to stop the hemorrhaging. According to recent medical reports, he'll live, but he suffered nerve damage and may have lost some use of his left arm.

You are aware that there are CO2 recapture mechanisms at play, right? The problem is we are overloading them.

Or, at the very least, if they have interesting suppositions, that they may eventually turn into hypotheses or theories.

There's no such thing as an "undocumented feature". I'd really like for people to stop using that phrase, it's fundamentally absurd.

To complement your post, the disability benefits the woman got can also be granted it cases of depression, among other psychiatric conditions.

I'm in the process of getting the same benefits for my social anxiety disorder. Hopefully not forever (my condition is curable).

Conclusion: we'd better elect vampires.
Holy Chao! I didn't know there had been such a trial!
Too bad that the crimes of Chiquita in the early 20th century won't ever be punished...
Ah, you may be mostly right on that. The CCC is primarily German, after all.
You fail at reading.

According to recent reports, it was an AKM, not an AK47.

Same here, for the simple reason that using the top row to type numbers is not very convenient on an AZERTY keyboard.
You know, what you describe is roughly one of the missions of those fancy Data Protection Agencies we have in Europe.
