Bzzzt... wrong answer... the correct way to account for the difference of "100 staff x (UK) imperial days" into "90 days x Chinese units of length" is by using Lorentz transformation... speed needs to be taken into account, irrespective if it's good or bad.
Given the origin, imperial units are fine... except the empire that was used is totally wrong. For the case at hand, it should have been expressed in chi; the building will be 2514.6 chi high.
Seriously, one wonders when will those Western barbarians start to learn something? Even if it's only the basic mandarin; can't be that hard, tens of millions of children learn it effortlessly.
The USS Liberty attack demonstrates why you shouldn't send your SIGINT assets into a volatile war zone. The incident was collateral damage and the Israeli's did apologize.
Ummm... did more than apologize: it paid about $13mil for the gaffe. True, the apologies seemed to have helped, as Israel paid only $6mils from the total of 17mils bill+interests quoted to them by US for the material damage.
Anyway, the above is likely to be off-topic: I can bet Israel is not going to tweet about these payments.
Then why did Congress increase funding to Israel by the same amount as the settlement, effectively meaning that Israel didn't pay a settlement?
Do you suggest we are in for an answer to your question via the current "twitter reenactment"?
Well, because of the sequester, they didn't have enough budget...
Reminds me of after 9/11 when there were so many feds abusing wiretaps they couldn't afford to pay the bills and were getting them shut off.
Wow... I somehow managed to be right without trying.
I addition, the linked article is 2009 - which is closer to the present day than to 9/11. Also, the linked news piece is AP and is a "dry jurno style" - I (rhetorically) wonder why their present and sudden "emotionally attachment" to the issue?
Well, because of the sequester, they didn't have enough budget to extend the real-time continuous interception they are doing for the internet traffic. Unpleasant, but only transient situation, I assure you.

You need to understand that the UK has a long history of being both a nation of animal lovers and bloodthirsty idiots.
History... mmmm!
The consensus at our meeting was that it was only the urban intellectual middle class who worry about the preservation of the countryside because they don't have to live in it. They just read about it. Bernard says their protest is rooted more in Thoreau than in anger.
... apparently, there is no badger colony in Hayward's Spinney. Apparently, the wording of the report says: "The last evidence of badger habitation - dropping, freshly-turned earth, etc. - was recorded eleven years ago".

Where does the money come from?
From US taxpayers' pocket.
burn this whole thing to the ground for the greater good of humanity.
Why? Wouldn't it be an even greater good to hand it over to NASA or NIST?

Wonder how many rhinoceros and tigers were sacrificed?
Hey, that is 10 days less than it takes BBC to fix a clock on their homepage :)
That's relative. Clearly, the Chinese economy is moving faster that UK's.

You weren't high, therefore you posted...?
Yeah... sort of... I almost regret it now (I mean, after reading the reply).

My soviet made flashlight gets endless battery life, just keep cranking the handle.
yesss, I ssseee... wha'sss the lifetime of the handle, preciousss?
So when are they going to reenact the attack on the USS Liberty?
On June 8, I suppose.
I fail to see how this may foster NASA's progress to its (supposed) goals. Any ideas?
This was a time when the planet was warmer and muggier than it is now. There was no ice at the polls, [...]
As I said, fascinating... voting and democracy may be older than one thinks, but... oh, the horror... can you imagine an election without ice?
(no, I didn't smoke, inject myself or take anything before posting... maybe that's why!?!)
what exactly is a serious crime?
A never-kidding never-laughing one?
Oh, come on. I have known for years that beer jams my inertial navigation system. And, it encrypts my communications, too!
Yeap, mine too.
'owever, most o' t'time, I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
no wonder this industry will die/is dieng.

The difference is, a finger print does not contain medically private data.
Neither does DNA fingerprinting - a lot different from genome sequencing
Would the police be violating copyright? LOL
Given that DNA is a form of expression, the answer is positive.
It's sad that they didn't use their MIPS stuff for this. Their latest chips look really nice.
You mean... this? On 65 nm tech and 1 GHz clock? I guess they'll use it when getting to at least 32 nm.
... my collection of vintage wines will appreciate over time.
So they could research and develop this technology.
...and so that the future-formerly-sick people would be able to enjoy full life and not only Half Life.
Doh... take a HalfLife and a HalfLife2 license and you have a full life cheaper than the treatment will cost.

Are they really endangered? (Getting offtopic...)
Well... the minister doesn't really need to know
