On a similar note, I find the American style to be vaguely unsatisfying with the larger number of smaller words alongside each other rather than the English style that tends to favour longer words with fewer crossings.
One small niggle: Sudoku need no maths skills whatever; substitute A-I or Apple-Cat and they work in exactly the same way. Sudoku are pure logic puzzles.
Perhaps it's another attempt to persuade the public to forgive the tories for Section 28 (not that labour are blameless for not repealing it the minute they took power).
The then prime minister made one four years ago. I remember at the time that people were complaining that it wasn't enough and a pardon should be issued.
Even when they're not used for cleaning hands materials like this are useful for keeping surfaces cleaner to reduce germ transmission. I've read that simple brass and other copper alloys also have similar properties and there was a brief campaign to use it for things such as door handles in hospitals. Brass would most likely be much more economical to produce and has the added benefit of being very easy to recycle.
There was once another group of people that went out of their way to censor information their people received, to hide atrocities committed in their name and smash an idea that didn't fit the party line.
As I recall, at one stage, the UK did quite a bit to stop them.
My knowledge of earth science is also lacking. What bothers me is that by dumping spent fuel rods into subduction zones, we're effectively throwing away quite a large amount of fuel for newer reactors. I realise that U and Th aren't exactly hard to come by, relatively speaking, but is it really easier to dig it out of the ground than to reprocess what we already have on hand?
(Hint: In a year or two, you won't remember this event; you'll only remember that you know the name of the company. Business plan: piss a couple of people off enough to make national news; reap MASSIVE profits by letting news agencies give you free advertising.)
Really? I'm barely halfway down the page and I've already forgotten. That sort of trick only works the first time; as it is this is just another in a long line of 'company tries to bully customer with the courts' stories.

Kanye this. Kanye that.
Kanye who?
Greetings from a Radio 4 listener.
English crossword puzzles look so bland.

What point does a posthumous pardon have?
PR. What more did you expect?

An abject apology would be a good start.

Interesting how biasing hiring towards women is not considered sexist yet biasing towards men, is? All in the name of 'equality' of course.
Except that it is; the only difference is that it's patronising too.
As far as I can tell, the magnet is at the laptop side of the connector, not the cable.
Uncertain information, that's what's with it. Next question?
How many slashdotters does it take to spot a thinly-veilled binary gag?
Either they did or they didn't.
Jang: That's all well and good, but do I really have to be dead to everyone else?!
Plumes on Earth tend not to be anywhere near 125 miles high.
That the mega-rich have mega-toys seems as good an explanation as any.
Many Satanists take their religion/philosophy very seriously, but do not believe in Satan as a literal being.
Much like anglicans.
You mean adoption?
One battle at a time.

Hurrah for the Blackshirts!
The US constitution is a limit of what government can do.
Evidently not.
What prompted this investigation? Sounds like a news crew just looking for a story they can call big.
Sounds to me like someone just re-discovered the Whitehall Study.
It was a good game... well, a good HALF of a game. It really didn't feel complete.
That's probably because you didn't wait the requisite 5 minutes for all the textures to load when you entered each room.
Spiritual needs? I didn't realise there were such things as Mammonite priests.
Please, you're giving weed smokers a bad name. I've seen people go through an eighth on their own and still construct more cogent arguments than that.
And, in a couple of weeks, a sizeable number of Lewisham hoodlums will also be gone.
It's a win-win.
Failing that, we could always just flog it

pigiron quipped:
The moon is a harsh mistress.
That's not a quip, it's the title of a book. A rather well-known one.
