Zero chance? Seriously? Ever since we started stockpiling nukes, the odds of something going horribly wrong (they accidentally set up us the bomb) have been slowly converging on infinity.
You don't see me mounting rocket launchers on my car controlled by a non-safetied button on the steering wheel, now do you?
Seems like a rather random demographic to associate with the ubiquitous post of civil servant...I assume it's a reference to the former large and organized Chinese empire (? kingdom?), but still.
So basically, they excised the one main selling point of the browser (lots of fiddly bits and extra features). Hmm...so someone would use the new version over Chrome why, exactly?
Except for the part that so far nobody has said Snowden is ratting out agents *anywhere*...? You're comparing him with the 2 guys who named the most undercover names? Really?!
The USA could try to strike a bargain with Snowden: give him back his passport and an ironclad promise not to extradite him or do any kind of "extraordinary rendition" in exchange for his agreement to never set foot in the USA or attempt to bring his case before a USA court.
Would you really trust that?! Extraordinary rendition in the first place seems to indicate they can't be trusted to keep their word.
Completely unrelated, but that same guy made an appearance on a subsequent Tim Minear show ("Drive"), with Nathan Fillion in the main role...as a Detective Ehrle:).
The news outlets are finally starting to catch wind of the fact that some of these people are moving $50k in cash on a regular basis, and doing stories about the security practices being put in place.
"Hey, these guys seem to be moving a lot of money. Maybe we should do a story on it." "You know what would be even better? If we described what their security is like so people can circumvent it." "Heh, yeah."
I notice that all your arguments involve using both scales or the arbitrariness of their fixed points, which only supports the validity of my opinion that Celsius is only marginally--if at all--superior to Fahrenheit in any objective measure.
In colloquial use the size of the unit is no big deal, and if I need to express the temperature in any finer granularity I have no problems with using a decimal point.
Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I'd find having to use a decimal point in that context fundamentally wrong.
Also the extensive use of Fahrenheit makes it harder or people to understand energy and related concepts in Science. It is also far simpler to have one common system for both science and ordinary use.
That's not an argument against Fahrenheit per se, but rather against using both. We could switch to Fahrenheit for scientific applications, too:)
The Americans seems to be moving backwards on Science, looking at the problems in some states pushing Creationism and other superstitions as facts in text books.
I get the feeling DICE is making this out to be a bigger deal than 90% of the population thinks it is by constantly posting articles about it.
Both systems pick arbitrary values for the calibration points; Celsius is just the metric people's hard-on for factors of 10 and trying to force it on everybody else.

With honors!
When was the last time the U.S. actually convinced someone to give up their nukes?
North Korea? Hmm...no...
Iraq? Never had them to begin with...
Israel? No...
Iran? We'll get back to you on that.
Jeez, it's not like we *tried* to put cheaters in charge. Get off your high horse.
If the core was "shut down," it would be in danger of meltdown how?

Good thing you weren't in charge when Christopher Columbus was looking for funding from Spain.

Screw it, we'll pick up the rest on the way. All the good weapons and reactors are Discover techs anyway.
According to The Daily Telegraph a group of senior EU officials, including several Home Office mandarins, have
Is 'mandarin' the new 'chinaman' or something?
Yep. I say, give them both a boot to the head!

Being either a hero or a traitor requires a big act, yes, and I don't think anyone is disputing that Snowden made a big act.
bool isSnowdenGuilty()
{
return didNsaDoIt() ? false : true;
}
Unfortunately what they don't tell you:
bool didNsaDoIt() // we don't really give a shit
{
return false;
}
That's why there's so many easy-to-guess "What city did you grow up in?" password-reset functions.
My favorite bit is when a lot of sites won't even let you come up with your own questions.

One of the best facetious posts I've seen in awhile.
