Being more precise, use a DNS provider that looks very carefully at the updates it receives (particularly ones from known-bad sources, like America) and only applies them if it's been approved by the owners through some other reliable source of DNS.
What ? Some TLDs are run by American organisations? Well whoopy-dee. Use a different TLD. That was difficult, wasn't it? Oh, and get your.com,.org etc domain data duplicated with someone outside the US, so other people can find you if America tries to turn you off.
What? DNS is a single, globally-coherent system? Well, it was. Then this sort of shennigans started being tried. And now that is changing.
... they mean that the data centre in question definitely does not want customers to come round and inspect the place themselves, and possibly ask awkward questions.
The presence of a certification unaccompanied by an invitation to come and look over the place yourself should be a pretty good warning.
does that mean 10 million dpi, or does it not work like that
No.
The 100nm dimension would be precisely what it says : the diameter of the nozzles. But the nozzles are one end of a chamber in which the droplet accumulates before being fired - and the chamber is of larger diameter, otherwise it wouldn't be a "nozzle", would it?
The chambers also have mechanisms in their walls, principally the heaters that vaporize the ink, to propel the droplet out of the nozzle. Those heaters aren't going to be "small". They may have other mechanisms, such as attitional drainage pipes for when the ink head is being "cleaned".
Then surrounding that will be the mechanical supports to hold the nozzle in place, and to maintain the correct relationship from nozzle to nozzle.
So, your actual ink-jet mechanism is going to be a lot larger than your nozzle size.
This being Slashdot, I suppose a car analogy is in order. A car is generally a way of getting one person from one place to another. A person is 0.5m in diameter (most countries ; 1m in America), so you can fit 20 efficient cars side-by side on an 10m-wide roadway (5/6th of a dozen cars in America, in non-metric terms).
Do you remember when you were in junior school (under-11 age ; whatever you call it in your society) and the nice teacher said "here is your assignment of homework to be done before Friday's lesson in X" (for various values of "X").
And you didn't do do your homework ; you came up with some pathetic excuse like blaming it on your dog digging your granny up so you had to have yet another granny-funeral. And the nice Ms Teacher castigated you in front of the class, calling you a lazy little so-and-so. And you felt bullied by Ms Teacher's unreasonable behaviour, and complained to Mummykins and Daddykins, who came to the school with their friend Mr Expensive from the company of Landshark and Ambulance-Chaser, Attorneys-at-Law ; and the expensive Mr Expensive forced Ms Teacher to apologise to you in front of the class and to pay him lots of money (a little money going to Mummykins and Daddykins, and a smidgin going to you).
Well the teacher was right ; you, Mummykins and Daddykins, and Mr Expensive were all in the wrong (though it's just barely credible that only Mr Expensive knew that at the time). You should have learned to do your fucking homework.
Now, in the words that the nice Ms Teacher should have used back then, "Fuck off and do your homework, you lazy little shit."
I love the smell of education in the morning. [SFX : Ride of the Valkyries.]
People tend to be too incautious with sanitary procedures at the best of times.
Having seen two people hospitalised at work in the last couple of weeks with malaria, and one with typhoid fever a couple of months ago... you're right. Though people who have forgotten (or never known) what serious infectious disease is may have a job believing that.
I had a pretty rough time with pertussis as a young child. It's pretty much my earliest memory. Not particularly life-threatening as we have socialised health care here in the civilised world, but it sure as hell wasn't fun for anyone in the family.
(I may not have listed all the malaria hospitalisations - I don't have to keep the records, so it's only of passing interest. And I take my prophylaxis, more than religiously.)
How would one know? It gets through the mental pipeline as far as filter #2 (made in America) and at that point I move onto the next programme for consideration.
A crude filtering system I'm sure ; but it cuts the amount of TV to be actively considered for watching down to a mere couple of dozen hours per night, which is manageable at 15 seconds consideration per hour broadcasting slot.
It's "morality" as a consequence of "technolgy", the newly acquired opportunity to kill opponents without too much "political" risk. No body bags or television footage of dead soldiers from downed Blackhawk (e.g. in Mogadishu).

The best way to deter crime is to have a better social safety net in place and pull the economy out of the shitter.
What are you? Some sort of filthy pinko commie faggot european terrorist? People like you should be taken to the nearest lynching tree, gut-shot by a militia of good citizens and hung up to die next to the TSA granny-groper to act as a warning to others.
In fact, there are very few places in the world (I believe it's seven) where there are exposed, persistent lava lakes.

Saunders (South Sandwich Islands);
I didn't know about that one... searches on MODIS... while I'm working on finding that imagery, FYI there was a 6.2 earthquake in the South Sandwich Islands last night.
What sort of satellite signal would I see ? MODIS does fire detection (or lightning detection).. but it's cloud-cover dependant. Looking at yesterday's imagery, there's lots of cloud, lots of big icebergs... and I think I can identify enough of South Georgia to get my bearings.... and that does look like a point source of heat. And for the day before... nothing but the Face on Mars.
but X-Rays have a GREAT deal of difficulty penetrating metal.
So... all those X-rays I've seen being taken of welds on pressure vessels and structural nodes... are just fakes. Well, that makes me feels so much safer as I watch rust-cicles getting longer on the support frames for the drilling platform.
Trust people like Fred to be lying about the NDT work he gets paid for. He must just bash up the pictures in Photoshop. All the barrier chains, warning tannoys and other palaver is just smoke and mirrors.
Yeah. It's a real shit the way that they get shot in the back of the head if they try to leave the DHS. Kind of like the old Sonderkommando in the concentration camps : first task is to execute the guy whose job you're taking, so that you have no doubt about what happens to traitors who try to leave the organisation.
Have they started to house the DHS/ TSA employees (and of course, their families) in government-controlled barracks? To stop the children learning things that might prevent them becoming good little Bush-Youth when they get older.
That would be kind of hilarious if international politics became anything other than a joke.
FTFY
Then we'd stop worrying about killing each other
Oh come on - be serious.
Do you honestly think that our species will turn it's back on the plains-hunter xenophobia that has served us so well for the last few thousands of generations, just because our social circumstances and technical capabilities have changed in the last dozen or two generations?
Get real.
To have a significant change like that, you'd need to go through a genetic bottleneck to eliminate the large majority of the species (say, 7 billion to one significant figure) while preserving a small proportion who have self-selected into abnormal social and psychological groupings.
Sounds to me like a hippie commune license. Or a survivalist nutcase charter. Not my species, either of them (though I could probably pass for the hippy if I felt the need).
You're assuming that consumption of an opiate painkiller is synonymous with "addictive". By no means all opiates (a wide FAMILY OF COMPOUNDS, HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS Damn CapsLock!) are at all addictive in vaguely credible doses, and many have significant, dangerous and unpleasant side-effects.
That's enough to blow the idea out of the water.
Someone else's idea below of long-duration time-release subcutaneous capsules (comparable to long-duration contraception) is more likely to be workable.
So, if MS produce a version of Windows that does it's OS stuff but without a GUI and therefore no Windows... what are they going to call it?
Windows are put into frames (here - your house builders may differ), so perhaps Windows without windows would be "Frames". Or "Framemaker?" NO, that doesn't work too well.
Or... this would be WinDOWS without the "Win" and with a command LINe inserted ; so that would be LINDOWS then?
MicroSoft's new Desktop-less Operating System would therefore be MS-DOS?
I've tried to work out something to bring DESQView into the game, but I can't. But damn, that was a good tool!
Ah, the amount of dedication devoted to improving machinery of death and torture! what a wonderful investment of money, brains and time. I'll bet the people who develop these tools are endlessly proud of their work.

Such a cunning plan by the spooks to hide their nefarious activities. So much more sensible than calling it something like "Area 52."
That would make whatever work you provided astrology (a.k.a made-up bullshit), not astronomy (a science).
