Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not the first times the US or allied forces targeted civilians. The firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden killed many civilians -- I think in Tokyo more were killed than Hiroshima -- and not only that, they were specifically targeted at civilians as a war strategy to try to turn the population against the government. The claim that civilians and children in Nagasaki, or Tokyo, or Dresden were "combatants" was not made, I don't think; the explicit point of the military strategy was to attack the civilians with such force that they would rise up against their own governments and demand an end to the war. It was a strategy spelled out by air power theorists since WWI. Whether it was effective is another question, but I don't think you find the same moral concern about attacking civilians in WWII as you do in the latter part of the twentieth century.
It's simple. People join the police to make up for perceived inferiority, usually dealing with masculinity. Since email these days is so full of alleged cures for problems with virility, penis size, etc., there is no way that cops will not avail themselves of the opportunity to make up for these perceived inadequacies.
Not only that, but they don't really sell hufu at all. There is only one food product on the site and it is "backordered." The rest is T-shirts and stuff. I wonder if this is just a joke.... still funny, but not nearly as cool as being able to order some hufu and have a cannibal party!
I really want to try this stuff. But the site sells more t-shirts than they do actual hufu! The only food item they have is "backordered" yeah right... They need to start producing and selling some hufu so we can have cruelty-free Aztec human sacrifice festivals!!
This is especially bizarre given they are calling for universal tracking -- they want to know where we are and who we are but they won't even let us know who they are, yet they speak in the name of the public! This isn't just ironic; it's downright Kafkaesque.
"I was making room for the ambulance", if true, does get you out of any violation of a red light, at least where I live.
Sure, if a cop saw you, and will confirm your story that there was an ambulance in the intersection. But how does a machine do that? If the camera caught the ambulance, you're in luck; otherwise you just have to hope the judge believes you. And why should they?
My personal theory on speed cameras is that they aren't there to catch everyone that speeds at all. They're there to catch people driving without due care and attention.
I don't think so. I think you're right they aren't there to catch everyone that speeds. I think they are there to make everyone think that they might get caught, and thereby curtail speeding whether or not the camera is actually turned on. In other words, they are there to make it look like they will catch everyone speeding. It's just elaborate PR.
That's not the point -- the point is if a cop saw you speeding in that situation, you would not get a ticket, because he or she would exercise a little human judgment, something a camera will not do.
Or Apple Lossless. This is really where the online music stores should be leading the way, rather than wait for the hackers to lead the way like the music industry did in the 1990s. If iTMS or a similar music store offered lossless downloads they would be presenting a real alternative to record stores and a legal alternative to p2p that is also much more reliable. Even 99 cents a song is too much for a lossy mp3 or AAC file; but for a guaranteed good FLAC version I bet many people would be willing to pay the 99cents rather than take their chances on getting a bad file off p2p (after waiting for the 23M download).

Doesn't regular soap kill most bacteria anyways?

The article tells you how many "songs" it holds.
OK, never mind, you're right, I would just use them clicking the next lame link I see on this page.
This word "anonymous." I don't think it means what you think it means.

You're talking about England here. It's both.
And Al Gore invented the internet because he didn't have enough porn.

Nobody wants "cruelty free" meat. The cruelty is where all the flavor comes from!
No, no.
It tastes better because there's meat in it.
Are you saying you can't live without jello?
At least you realize now that you should have gone into IT instead of the law.

It comes from a funny little place called the U.S. ;)

Where is this "Western Australia" place? Is that in the Valley?
