Dang - I've got to find an excuse for spending some time in Iceland. After spending time in a partly Swedish speaking environment, and being an obsessive pattern matcher finding Germanic roots shared by that and English, it would be interesting to immerse myself in another Scandinavian language, so see how far the pattern-matching works.
I know the Swedes have "hei hei" (and variations), and I'm not 100% sure that that was borrowed off English, so perhaps your "Hæ Hæ" is proper Scandinavian, and not an import from a remoter tongue.
Mostly right - the body and limbs don't give a shit, but the two faces do - they both still rely on that smile to keep you thinking that it's doing the right thing, and less importantly to stop you voting for the other head.
Not just iPhonies doing it. I'm sure the iPads or whatever do get used a little (but probably they're cosmetic accessories as much as anything else). In contrast, there are some people who have no interest in making use of the thing they buy, they just want to acquire it so that they can trade it on again - in the field of "craft beer". This sums it up nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bbvO5eB1wI

?!? You weren't a sovereign nation, and the other foreign nations had a direct interest in wanting to wrest control from the British, or at least diminish their control with a view to increasing their own influence. It was never a just some civil war, it was always a disagreement involving European powers. They couldnt *stay* out of it, because they never were out in the first place.
However, a large proportion of their training is the removal of such critical thought processes, effectively brainwashing them to robotically follow orders. "Just obeying orders" is a strong enough defence just amongst the general public, in the hands of someone who's been specifically trained to do precisely that, it shouldn't be underestimated.
Clearly he wasn't. Please reread what he wrote, this time for comprehension.
There can easily be confusion between (subset-of-A) and (whole set A). In no way does that suggest that (subset-of-A) is not a subset of (whole set A).
Not quite true. There is a form of democacy where one serves on government as one does on a jury - by *random* selection. That's pretty much the original *demo*cracy. The problem with this is that the competent ones can't stay in the role. The good thing about it is that those who most want power have no way of getting a disproportionate share.
Don't forget that the 6 million figure was an early one that included the debunked figure of 4 million at Auschwitz alone. Once you've pulled that Auschwitz contribution down to a more trustworthy 1.5 million (though say 1.1 million), the total drops to 3.5 million.
There are equally locked down bootstrapping and security architectures that are created by ARM. All mobile phones use them (even the most open seeming) www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/trustzone.php It's been like this for at least half a decade, there's nothing new about what microsoft's doing.
These are all good points. You've again introduced a "unique" straw man. I never demanded uniqueness. (And if you think about it there aren't an infinite number of configurations for any lock type, so absolute guranteed uniqueness isn't even attainable anyway.) I would hope that all prisoner handoff procedures are regimented pedantically, with strictly controlled protocol, and no room for sloppiness. The concept of handing over 2 things simultaniously rather than 1 shouldn't be that much of an increase in the complexity of procedure. Keeping track of which inmate is in which cuff shouldn't be harder than keeping track of which inmate is in which cell. But you're right - when humans are involved there's always the possibility of screwing up.
Indeed, the current situation is equivalent to that of a single master key shared by everyone. The concept of a master does not have to be so simplistic, you can have masters over subsets. (Which is why the housing association can have a master to everyone's front door in the building they own, but not to the front doors in other buildings, for example, despite them all being the same type of lock.) Increased complexity has increased costs, it's a trade-off.
Straw man. Unless you can find the phrase "globally unique" in my post. And even then, you appear to have forgotten about the possibility for master keys.
And when I worked for Freescale, whilst our executives were clearly without direction, the more infamous executive fucking things up in the news was Hewlett Packard's Carly Fiorina. (I knew many people who worked for HP in those days, and there were reports of dancing in the street when she was given her golden dropkick.) In contrast, I don't even remember the names of any of those responsible for messing things up at FSL.
Has the concept of handing keys over when you hand a prisoner over never occured to them? Why does the arresting officer need his keys if he doesn't have his cuffs any more? Hand them over, and then just check out a new matching set from the duty officer next time you leave the building.
Bollocks. Nokia's been in trouble for at least 4 years. And I say that as someone who's spent at least half of the last dozen years working for Nokia.
OK, it's been in dire trouble ever since Elop came on board, but that doesn't mean it wasn't in a state in the OPK era. Nokia didn't know how to respond to threats. They were lazy while dominant. It had too many layers of management compared to the number who actually did work, and management were pulling in different directions. They were dinosaurs. They were, and are, or at least deserve to be, moribund.
Hilariously false. Many of the smartest devs have been haemorrhaging out ever since Feb 11th. By the time Jolla announced what it was doing, there was almost nobody vital left to hire. (Almost, but not entirely, I'd say a handful of the remaining kernel devs were gems. Then again, I'm sure Intel, TI, Nvidea, google etc. think so too...)
Nope, they've all gone, or are in YT negotiations (i.e. going to be out of the door real soon now, but with a nice healthy severance package which is going to make Nokia's cash flow look even less healthy).
The chocolate teapots will remain. They always do.

So, precisely what did gitmo achieve in this particular case? It doesn't sound positive to be honest.
Mostly right - the body and limbs don't give a shit, but the two faces do - they both still rely on that smile to keep you thinking that it's doing the right thing, and less importantly to stop you voting for the other head.
Mostly agree, but I wouldn't have thought "nonchalently" was the best adverb. "Narcissistically" seems to be closer.

Try telling that to those of us with DEC Alphas. For some bizarre reason we really won't believe you.

The wiki image correctly shows a negative excess volume of the mixture. There's no expansion, quite the opposite - you'll get 3.84 cups of fluid.

It was a textbook straw man. End of. Rest of post not even read.
