The fact the claim of over-indulgence in pre-emptive antibiotics use in cattle is a cause of resistant bacteria strains affecting humans is under-reported in the mainstream US media does not mean it is not supported by reputable scientific studies.
This has nothing to do with pro EU or anti-US but everything with pro-shady business or anti-consumer.
AC, please have a look at the graphs and tell me if 15 years is a significant period on a scale of 1.5 - 2 centuries (or even millennia) and why it wouldn't be a similar fluctuation as we saw between 1945 and 1980?.
Talking about Walmart, last year the largest pension fund in the world, the Dutch ABP and today another 4 of them have withdrawn their investments in Walmart because of the miserable treatment of personnel by Walmart, including their refusal to accept unions as representatives of the personnel.
I don't see your problem, I have a Nexus 4 and 7 and on both I prefer the desktop version.
The fact articles on the mobile version of/. are usually not updated in a timely fashion is part of the reason I prefer the desktop version.
Since a few months, as a matter of fact since I got my Nexus 4, I prefer to use Firefox because it has a nicely working resize option.
Your problem is not primarily the lack of unions but the absence of proper labour and contract laws.
Your example would in most jurisdictions been simple and clear breach of contract.
My country obviously allows the freedom of organisation as unionisation is also called but you don't really need to be unionised to have a decent contract as the law draws the bottom line and is the same for all.
The bottom line are things like the working hours directive, minimum wages and health and safety regulations.
So many people think this spying is primarily for military and security reasons but the EU is first of all an economic pact, the EU doesn't even have a joint military and the major EU powers are through NATO already allied with the US.
By consequence the spying on the EU is for economic reasons.
In the past there have been very suspicious deals where for example in China an Airbus contract was at last minute handed to Boeing, we don't need more of this crap were government organisations are doing dirty legwork for corporation.
The upcoming Free Trade negotiations are obviously a nice target, the US dearly wants to know how far they can push the EU in their own direction by exploiting divisions among the EU members, I'm afraid the US has now shot themselves in both feet.
After all according to the recent revelations there is no blanked tapping of communications between US citizens except when they get suspicious like call with foreigners.
Therefor I ask all outside of the US to make at least one call to a new 'friend' in the US so PRISM can increase it's database of interesting persons, as long as it gets picked up the number you're dialing is not important.

In my experience Knoppix is still leader on compatibility.
The software included is specifically useful for recovery, the desktop is non-arcane and reasonably complete yet light, these facts make it very useful.
In many countries the mainstream churches were or (as in the US) are an import social factor in the battle against poverty and much of their money is going to 'Worthy Causes' that save the community at large from a lot of grief.
This is contrary to the way the Cult Of Scientology is spending it's money and it's exactly because of this difference they did not get tax exemption in some European countries.
Please realise computers are contrary to 50 years ago an indispensable part of our life and teaching all some basics about the way these computers are run is never a waste.
On the other hand I can imagine programming and it's ilk are fundamental logic and should/could be part of regular or enhanced mathematics instruction.
That there has been no effect due to the lack of teaching computer skills is an wholly unsupported claim, for example we all know how irresponsible computer illiterate people can be regarding their use of the internet.
Some basic training for all in the fundamentals of programming might very well improve the overall attitude to computer use and security.
I normally work 'in the field' but during his holidays I sit in for my manager.
Last year his XP laptop needed >15 mins. to boot up and log in.
I checked and found the disk heavily fragmented and it was initially impossible to fix as there was less than a few % of free space.
Cleaning out a bunch of stuff and a night with a good (non MS) defragger made it a better PC at around 5 mins. boot and log in.
We are the Data Acquisition Dept, IT is supposedly our business so I'm not at all surprised by problems in government departments...

Doofus...
I'm afraid you are mixing up the source of your observations, Germans and the German language insist much more than English on full punctuation.
So the NSA has a back door to get /. mod points, you surprised?
This has nothing to do with pro EU or anti-US but everything with pro-shady business or anti-consumer.
Hehe, I think my present signature is a little older :)
Indeed, a lack of credible candidates :)
And what is for the average user the relevance to speed by optional debugging tools?

97% of scientists believe there is human influence on the global climate.

Yes I have the Full Screen plug in installed.

Besides, Europe generally signs up to international (UN sponsored) laws and they specify the freedom to unionise.
That same freedom disallows any entity to specify which union you join but obviously you're best off with a union that is recognised by the employer.

Indeed, especially the non-consumer versions of brands like Lenovo, HP and Toshiba still come with Win7 and Win8 as an option.
I would count the age of up to date XP installs from the issue date of SP3, early May 2008.

Jesus' love for all people is the guiding principle, maybe that's what differs Christians from those that go by the Old Testament.
Or don't they, for example, allow pork around your way?

If a Christian family is debasing a gay person they are not devout and especially not Christian.
