No one is behind this. There was a typhoon and then a series of storms.
To put this into perspective there are around 50k people living on the island and its link runs through difficult terrain. It is about 100km from Guam itself hence why it could use a microwave backup. Honestly this is about as surprising as a small country town getting cut off by a back hoe hitting their cable.
I also just went and straw polled my wife to see if I was being completely oblivious, and her response was 'huh, really? But he was the best part of the movie!"
Well I'm 37. I think the difference is that in Australia I don't have the same cultural background as you do. To give you an idea I just googled Shylock because I didn't know what it meant..... Having found the wikipedia article it still means nothing to me as the total exposure I have to Jewish culture is via the TV.
Where I live I have almost no interaction with people from the Americas be they North, South or Caribbean, however I have huge interactions with South East Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern and European cultures.
Some one else below said Jar-Jar racist. It's a term I hadn't heard until now.
The black face is an interesting comment. In Australia we had a variety show called "hey hey it's saturday" it's crap but it had a revival 2 years ago and they got back in the most popular act they had. This act was a bunch of guys pretending to be the jackson 5.
Harry Connick JR was on the judging panel and he completely flipped out because of how awfully racist it was and it was disgusting. The performers, the crowd and the host were caught totally by surprise. The issue, the performers had put on black makeup to be the Jackson 5 and hence this was seen as black face racist comedy. The reason though the audience, host and performers had no idea why Harry had flipped out is we never had the black faced comedy here in Aus and most people of younger generations have never heard of it. So they weren't being racist, but if they had been American with American cultural heritage there is no way you would do black face without knowing the racist context.
I have never heard of anyone who thought Jar Jar Binks reminded them of black characterisations. Nor has that ever occurred to me. Seriously how long is the bow they are stretching?
Jar Jar Binks made me sick to the stomach because of how he represented the complete destruction of something I loved with a character that I wanted to die in many many horrible and painful ways.
It will most likely be done on the % of images that have flesh tone. For a computer it would be hard to tell the difference between a couple of lingerie model and a porn scene.
It is straight forward if you are defending against and obvious breach such as watching porn on work systems. What becomes more challenging is if you have to manage people doing menial or crap jobs. People in those jobs tend to be less motivated and hence it is more of a case of forcing people rather than allowing them to just get on with it.
The type of thing I am talking about is a call centre or something like that. You are looking at low paid, high turnover jobs. No one ever said "when I grow up I want to work in a call centre!". In those types of roles you have to push people to be productive and so you probably wouldn't want to give them unlimited access as it is another distraction. The world still has lots and lots of those types of crap jobs unfortunately and there are still lots and lots of people who don't have the qualifications, drive or desire to find something they enjoy doing.
Things like aid are never that cut and dried. For example did you know China still receives a large amount of foreign aid?
If you have a look at the regions that foreign aid are deployed in India you will see it predominately sits either off the coast of india or in the Northwest a region that is still troubled by sectarian violence.
However even ignoring that, your argument essentially says, "if you can launch space rockets the rest of your country should be more than good enough that you don't need aid", which if you think about what a country needs in order to develop itself you will see will not be the case. A developing country needs income from outside in order to fund cost developments such as roads, sanitation, schools etc. India is unable to fund those without building some kind of industry. Rockets and commercial rocket launches allow them to give somewhere for their top graduates to work, allows them to bring income into the country, and allows them to improve the life of some people.
That said even with a successful rocket launch program the income it generates is barely a fraction of the money it needs to improve the quality of life of its wider population and it remains in need of help.
Couldn't agree move. I try to fly Virgin where ever possible in the US because all the other options suck. That said the whole flying experience in the US is horrendous and I have yet to find a country that even comes close to equally the horror that I found calling itself Miami Airport back in 2007.
I've flown into Narau where they have to close the roads on each side of the airport because the plan wings overhang the roads on landing and the terminal is a shed and it was better than the US experience.
On second reading it's not quite clear what I meant.
What I meant was that you need such a ridiculous amount of those crops that there is no economical way you could farm it in a building no matter what level of density you managed to achieve.
And in this town they communicate with the administration via modulated speech sent over copper cables, or e-mail or scribbled ink on some dead tree or via electronic instant messaging system.
Where did it say that phones and email and snail mail are no longer available? If anything having 1/3rd of your communication going via twitter you will reduce the load on the other areas and hence reduce waiting time.
I would suggest incredibly negligible. When you consider that a cargo ship moving through the area is producing orders of magnitude more disturbance than these systems would ever absorb.
I would call greenhouses indoor farming already, and I agree with you it is to control multiple factors. But farming in densely populated areas just makes no sense. You can build a transport network that connects your high value high density urban land with your low value crap land and build a gazzilion greenhouses for a higher yield and way less cost.
Even if you removed fossil fuels from the transport network and went all electric it still works out more efficient.
Japan does some crazy intensive farming in and around urban areas where you will see towns where the houses are surrounded on all sides by rice fields. But you can also see it would be cripplingly inefficient.
In the end however indoor farming of any kind, be it greenhouses or vertical in cities cannot produce the amount of food we require. We need to large scale farm with highly efficient machines crops such as rice, wheat, barley and corn. There is a reason we use massive combine harvesters.
Unless it's the ratty organic version it's all hydroponic already. And it is grown in greenhouses which are cheap and easy to build and can be put just about anywhere. Then for running cost you don't need to be running lights.
Even if you argue arable land was running out, which I also call bullshit on, there is cubic buttloads of crap land you can stick greenhouses on and grow your crops there at a fraction of the cost of running leds. This is what a basil farm really looks like - http://seedstock.com/wp-conten...
Now if we are talking corn or grain or sugar there is NO way you can get the density needed to put it in a building.
Where in Java are you talking about? I don't notice anything on my system...
As for XDMCP I don't think it is supported via MDM, the default login manager. However if you replace MDM with LightDM you will have working XDMCP support if you add the following to lightdm.conf
[XDMCPServer] enabled=true port=177
MDM dropped support for XDMCP back in 2013 and has no intentions of reimplementing it......
Absolutely this. It causes me no end of frustration when Thunderbird steals focus because of it's dodgy calender implementation.
But I will now quite happily roll mint out to random relatives on a dual boot system and let them run with it. Most of the time they don't end up going back into windows because the most intensive thing they do is run Chrome.
Linux Mint & Cinnamon is by far the best UI out there at the moment. If it could flawlessly play windows games and things like photoshop I would be a happy man. All the other decisions feel about right. Ext4 for the filesystem, network manager is clean and works well, I love the file manager, bash shell and I'm pretty much done.
Had no idea what kapporot or shechitah was so I had to look them up. From what I read Shechitah is just another term for Kosher slaughtering and im going to guess your issue is with killing a chicken rather than someone giving away coins in Kapporot.
Therefore I'm assuming you are arguing that slaughter of animals for food via kosher means is materially worse that other methods. And materially worse enough that you think that attacking those people who follow that practice is rightly justifiable?
As for the circumcision of boys I actually agree with you. To me it is the genital mutilation of a minor and I believe it should be banned. One of my relatives is a neonatal nurse and she nearly had a baby die because of a botched circumcision. The rabbi hid that he had nicked an artery and kept just mopping up the blood.
The US started as a common law country and its basis was the UK system however it has diverged significantly and is recognised as having significant components of civil law.
At the federal level there is no plenary statute which means courts at a federal level are unable to create precedent without that precedent being challenged. Although federal courts can create federal common law in the form of case law, such law must be linked one way or another to the interpretation of a particular federal constitutional provision, statute, or regulation.
This came to a head in the 1930s in Erie Railroad vs Tompkims. It also had the effect of showing federal courts had no authority over states if there was no federal impact.
In essence the US operates two types of legal systems. At a state level it is common law and at the federal level it is civil law.
Religious intolerance is already defined in other pieces of legislation and it would not stop you telling someone you thought they were brain dead for believing in a god. And they have every right to say you should convert to their faith.
Religious intolerance, rather, is when a group (e.g., a society, religious group, non-religious group) specifically refuses to tolerate practices, persons or beliefs on religious grounds (i.e., intolerance in practice). So this would be where you are attacking someone for exercising the practices of their faith. ie attacking someone for observing Ramadan.
Your signature says you live in a world of gray so I assume you can see the difference between those two things.

Jar-Jar Racist is a term that I have never heard before. And I'm 37, so old enough to have come across it.
Here is a review from our most left leaning publication that would have pointed it out if it was noticed by them. http://www.abc.net.au/news/201...

Comes of not being an American I think. Having not personally met an Jamaican I didn't even realise that it sounded like that accent.....

Rubbish. Australia has a blocklist for illegal material and that has never been extended to political material.
