However, for a society to work, we need to have rules..
And when those rules are broken, as they were by the US military, there need to be whistle blowers, to bring the miscreants into line, and put them in trial for their illegalities.
I believe very strongly that Manning should be facing the death penalty simply to send a message to the military that if you do this and get caught, you may die for it.
Ah, the smell of fascist blood lust in the morning...Don't like what someone did? Just kill them. It makes you feel manly.
Invest most of the money in stocks and shares. Go safe, and invest in Investment Trusts. They'll pay 5% easily over the years, and accumulate in value. By the time a loaf of bread costs 250K, your fund will be worth trillions.
All of them were smart enough to be able to use a bittorrent client and browse bittorrent sites.
They will be smart enough to use whatever plug-and-play method the internet will invent to circumvent these bans.
"whatever plug-and-play method the internet has already invented to circumvent these bans".
But on top of that, breeding plants which create their own insecticide?
My understanding is that the plants don't create their own insecticide. Rather they tolerate large doses of Roundup, which is a general-purpose insecticide that would normally kill the crop. Roundup has been available for decades. The danger here is that Roundup-ready seed contaminates other crops, and thus farmers are left with no choice but to use Monsanto's product to control weeds. A couple of problems arise; one: that the crop becomes a mono-culture, and two: because the crop is resistant to Roundup, farmers use too much of it to kill the weeds. That leads the to the classic evolutionary race of the weeds to themselves become 'Roundup-ready', and eventually be resistant to weed-killer. Monsanto don't even allow farmers to keep seed and resow next year; they insist that farmers buy fresh. They are definitely the baddies here, and need taking down.

I'm old enough to remember flying in the days before the jets took over entirely. It was a great adventure,, but it wasn't fun. Aeroplanes still have sick bags, but you don' see them used these days. Back in the day, you could more or less guarantee that all the kids on the plane would use theirs, and a fair few adults, too. I can still remember filling up a few of them myself. Elizabeth Taylor wouldn''t have been quite so glamorous if she'd been photographed barfing into hers...
I scan the checkout cashiers. I then go for the brightest-looking one. I'm not sure how I do it, but this technique definitely works OK. Some cashiers just look more efficient. Here in the UK, cheques are no longer accepted in supermarkets, so no problem on that score.
Forget the holiday gift. You can't do genealogy quickly. (or do it for next year, or 20 years after that).
Ancestry is very useful, but it's not genealogy software - they're much more useful for the information in their databases. But the info in their databases will cover your great grandfather, not your recent relatives..
If you want open source, then GRAMPS is pretty good, but falls flat on large files. It's rather complicated, too.
If you want free, then PAF from familysearch.com is OK, but legacy free version is better.
If you want to do genealogy seriously, then pay some money. Rootsmagic is way better than all the above, and only costs 30 dollars, worth every cent. Legacy paid version is pretty good too.
This sounds like a great idea for law enforcement. You get all the speeders in the state to self-identify by applying for a speeding licence. Having thus identified them, and forced them all to buy a transponder, you can then track them on those days when they haven't paid their licence fee. In a week, you'd have them all off the road. Sorted.
Five trillion = 5,000,000,000,000
The British billion and trillion are dead. They never made much sense anyway. The UK deficit is thankfully, only an 'American' trillion pounds:0)
And I say that as a Brit.
The camera with long lens looks like a camera with a long lens. In the panic of war, it might look like an RPG to someone who wants to see an RPG.
We know that they were civilians becase we can see what the gunner saw. We can see without a shadow of doubt that the 'ambulance' driver was unarmed. We can see that the wounded photographer was unarmed.
We can see the time the bullets took to get to the target, which indicate that, at Gatling gun speeds, the helicopter is about 1km away.
We can hear the guy desperate to kill the wounded photographer.
We can hear the gunner lying to the base about the shots being fired, about there being more than 1 or 2 armed men, about the ambulance 'picking up bodies'
It's not an offence to bear arms in Iraq- all sorts of bodyguards do it. (where have I heard that before?)
We can read the lies that the US forces issued the next day.
It's a bit more than 'some classified information'
It shows that the US forces are a) over-brutalised b) incapable of performing a police action in a busy city.
At 1 pound, that's entirely possible. For a pound, you can buy the paper version. That price covers the raw materials, the printing and overheads, the distribution and the retailer's profit margin. I don't know what the profit margin on a physical paper is (5p?), but it has to be way less than a pound. An electronic version need only cover journalists and overheads. That might be, what, 10p? Making a very fat 90p gross profit. That could well be 20 times the gross profit on a paper version.

Try UK, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Hongkong, Singapore ...
You think lawyers in countries other than the good ol' US of A just sit there all day and do nothing?
If you mean 'Nothing useful', Yes :0)
....or it saw another probe sent from Venus...
right now, there is probably still a lot of countries in latin america that would love the opportunity to join the US.
I can tell right there, that you've never visited South America.
Now answer this one: what's been the single biggest innovation in education?
The Open University, 1971 http://www8.open.ac.uk/about/main/the-ou-explained/history-the-ou
Me too. Weird, but the world might be safer.
... it would require a sponsor with huge financial investment ...
The US Government comes to mind. For the price of a single B1 bomber, they could do that.

Professional crashers (yes, they exist) put their hands up at the sides of their head.
That's probably why they crash. I suggest that they hold the steering wheel in future.

As the guys concerned say : 'Because we can'. It's the journey there, not the summit reached that they're interested in.

In Cusco, Peru, the cathedral has a picture of JC and his mates eating guinea pig for their last supper. Da Vinci obviously got it wrong.
