I was born and grew up in ENGLAND, and let me tell you there was such a notion as a continent called "America". So I don't know where your English speaking nations are, but they are decidedly not in England.
Though to be balanced we do have a notion of North and South America, but I doubt anyone would question either usage, and certainly not when I was growing up.
Really because I watched a documentary about this on the BBC a while back. In the USA in CCD all the bees just disappear from the hives. In the U.K. they all end up dead literally just outside the hive. So clearly CCD is different between the USA and the UK, yet neonicotinoids are being blamed both sides of the Atlantic.
I would also note that there is no CCD in Australia last I heard, and although I have no direct evidence it seems unlikely that they are not using neonicotinoid based insecticides.
It is highly unlikely that CCD is down to one single cause, and while neonicotinoid based insecticides might play a part it is far from proven.
You young kids on the block. FORTRAN was *NOT* designed to support multidimensional arrays from the beginning. That only came in Fortran 90. What it did do was have a complex number type. Boy does that make lots of simulation code much much easier to read.
When Fortran 90 came along and added in all the matrix types that made code even easier to read.
Those two reasons along with the fact that academics don't have the time to rewrite all their simulations in the latest new fangled language is why tones of scientific code is still in Fortran.
The won't find it that forgiving in the United Kingdom either. There has already been a copyright troll like this who tried to operate in the U.K. They are barred from practice at the moment and bankrupt. I suggest you search for "acs:law" to see how well it panned out for the last person who tried this.
There are rarer toucan crossings for both pedestrians and cyclists and pegaus crossings for horses (generally where ancient bridleways cross roads).
However pedestrians are entitled to cross the road at any point, other than a motorway where it is illegal. The concept of jaywalking does not exist in the United Kingdom.
While I in general agree with you, it can in practice be absolutely abysmal. Take last weekend, throughout the weekend it kept telling me it was going to rain basically all weekend where I live. It did rain heavily on Friday night into the early hours of Saturday. However after that it stopped, the mist/fog lifted by lunchtime on Saturday and it them remained dry for the rest of the weekend.
We are talking hundreds of tonnes of the stuff a year, and I would guess exceeds the total tonnage of landmines every few years, and that is just the stuff being dug up.
No way can two miles be walked in 15 minutes, you would need to run to get that sort of speed.. A fast sustained walking pace is four miles an hour. This requires you to be reasonably fit however. My mother who is now in her 60's is unable to keep up if I walk at that sort of speed.
So you are looking at 15 minutes for a mile. A two mile walk is therefore 30 minutes. I walk two miles every day into work and two miles back. If I really push it then it's 25 minutes, normal is 30 minutes and if I saunter a bit it is 35 minutes.
I work in the west coast of Scotland so it is dam wet. However I have GoreTex shoes that just look like ordinary smart casual shoes, Rohan Dry Requisite Trousers (they look and feel like a regular pair of chino-style trousers) I only wear these if it is forecast to rain heavily, and a selection of fully waterproof and breathable coats for both summer and winter; for example I have a GoreTex smart wool coat for winter. Looks like a smart wool coat, that just happens to be fully waterproof and breathable.
I normally walk full tilt so 25 minutes into work, and four miles of walking a day is good exercise.
I think we can accurately come to the conclusion that the current crop of fundamental Islamist terrorists are remarkably incompetent.
For example take Richard Reid aka the "shoe bomber". Only a completely incompetent idiot tries to light a fuse in full view of everyone, rather than take the simple expediency of locking yourself in the toilet!!!
To underline how stupid and incompetent they are the "underwear bomber" made exactly the same critical mistake.
Because if they did it would probably be no cheaper than manufacturing them in North America or Europe, and shipping them over. A large part of what makes manufacturing in China cheaper is that you can pollute like crazy. It is also not just smog from air pollution, but pouring toxic waste into rivers etc.
Simple; tax all goods on the amount of pollution used in their manufacture. Set the level so that it does not effect the U.S.A. (Europe and Japan use less energy anyway) and problem solved. Will have a nice side effect of making it less worth while off-shoring manufacturing to China where it is largely cheaper because they don't have to worry about pollution. So not only is it good for the environment it is good for jobs.
True but if you have any sort of investment, or get any interest from savings (that is not in a tax free savings account) then in reality you should. That's means most higher rate tax payers should be doing tax returns.
Yep all taxed at the lower rate of tax unless you declare that you are not a tax payer. If you are a higher rate tax payer you will be doing a tax return and have to pay the extra.
Really, Greece less corrupt than Poland!!! You are on the crack pipe mate. The Corruption perceptions index 2012 has Poland scoring 58 and ranked 41 in the world, where as Greece manages just 36 and is ranked 94. Greece has the worst corruption problem in the whole of the E.U. including all the ex communist states. Greece can only dream of having as little corruption as Poland.
The point was he made a really really stupid and dumb decision that ultimately cost his life. If Steve Jobs is able to be so insanely stupid, and refuse proven "cancercure(tm)" then so are other people.
Getting back to "deaf culture", the way I see it is that if parents refuse treatment for their deaf children then society should have the right to withdraw the financial support they would otherwise provide to that child. In short cochlear implants while not cheap are cheaper than supporting a completely deaf person for the rest of their life. Want to remain deaf do it with your *OWN* money.
No, they are all spinning aluminium or glass that are coated with none iron based magnetic materials. I don't think iron based platters have existed for many many years.
That said your post is amusingly clueless as to real world bulk storage. Unless there is some major breakthrough there is at least another five years before SSD world wide production can match spinning hard disk capacity, and that assumes hard disks stand still. On the other hand expect 15k and 10k disks to disappear over that time frame. Shipments of the faster drivers are already dramatically down as people are replacing them with SSD.
Because it is safer in a crash. When you come to a grinding halt your body simply gets pushed back into the seat over a large area. Facing forward it all goes through the seatbelt, though airbags have helped. Still it is better to be facing backwards, just wish seats in commercial airliners faced backwards.
You do know that you can get heaters for satellite dishes that fix the snow issue? Try your favourite internet search engine.
Note the issues with rain suggest that you needed a bigger dish. That might also apply to trees, though you could also try pruning the trees is possible.
Yeah but that is because the USA has all these intersections/cross roads instead of roundabouts, and no enforced seatbelt rules.
In a more sensible country which does have these features, deaths per 100,000 is 2.75 instead of 10.4, and deaths per 100,000 vehicles is 5.1 instead of 15, and deaths per 1 billion km is 3.6 instead of 8.5.
Or maybe it is because we are all such great drivers in the U.K.:-) Though our driving tests are far more rigorous than the ones in the USA.
Lots of interesting propulsion systems become viable that make current rocket technology look the equivalent of a horse and cart to a modern motor vehicle.

Better still it has already been tried in the U.K. It failed spectacularly.

We have "pelican crossings" because in high traffic areas they halt the traffic to allow pedestrians to cross safely.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
Zebra crossings have mostly been replaced in the U.K. with pelican crossings. However even pelican crossings are being replaced with puffin crossings

Rubbish, what you found is that you had inadequate backup software and monitoring of the backup process.

Might do, move from Hindi to Jehovah's Witness and then need a life saving blood transfusion would have a serious impact on your health.
The new USS carriers have substantially higher power generation than the Nimitz class.
