There's no proof Julius Caesar ruled Rome, either.
Well, apart from the thousands of surviving inscriptions on monuments and coinage made during and shortly after his lifetime naming him. And other evidence, but that's probably the strongest.
I'd like to see Randi heal the lame, make the blind see, raise the dead, feed a multitude with a few fish and some bread, tell fishermen to put their nets where the fishermen know there's no fish and bring up sp many it almost capsizes the boat, walk on the water, and be tortured to death and come back to life 3 days later.
I'd be impressed when somebody did that too. Call me when you have proof somebody did (no, there is no proof Jesus did all that).
Flying cars require a fancy power source to be energetically viable.
No, the current power sources are perfectly adequate. What is needed is acceptance of automated flying, because too many drivers will never qualify as an adequate pilot.
You need a cooler name. "Light gas gun" sounds like something that shoots out wisps of smoke. Railgun, now, *that* sounds like something that's gonna hurt.
Wow how wrong you are,they say "yes", you say "pay me" and then show then how insecure their network truly is.
Wow, you have no conception of how corporation politics work, do you? You simply say to the corporation "I'm a security consultant want to watch me get through your security?" and they say, "If you attempt to hack our systems we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law."
Can't tell if trolling or just stupid. The Bismarck was commissioned in August 1940 and sunk by a British squadron led by the HMS King George V after British torpedo bombers had crippled her, on 27 May 1941. So, yeah, World War II.
If I'm understanding the description correctly, the situation was that the workers were trained in general "always install a bolt this way, the other way is WRONG" but then got special instructions on one single bolt, "install this bolt the 'wrong' way". I would put most of the blame on the worker, but, yeah, this was asking for trouble.
No, what varies from state to state is whether you can require new hires to join the union. There's a difference between, "We can't hire you, you're not a union member" and "You're hired, you have to join the union now."
I would say that every use of children for military purposes of any kind is a violation of international human rights
And you're certainly welcome to that opinion, however:
and especially interseting part is: "Under Article 8(2)(a)(xxvi) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), adopted in July 1998 and entered into force 1 July 2002; "Conscripting or enlisting children under the age of fifteen years into the national armed forces or using them to participate actively in hostilities" is a war crime."
The law you cited doesn't state that. Are the children being conscripted or enlisted? No, they are not being inducted into the armed forces in any way. They are no more a part of the US armed forces than a defense contractor (which is arguably what they are) is. Are they actively participating in hostilities? No.
Putting it into reality, it's a just a joke, and not true. Supposedly, his last words were, "Crito, we owe a rooster to Asclepius. Please, don't forget to pay the debt."
I had no idea Kodak had anything going on with digital cameras that far back,
Kodak, quite literally, *invented* digital cameras. They could've released them while they still had legitimate patents on all of it. Instead, they became the poster child for the business advice, "If you don't release the better product that cannibalizes what you're selling now, someone else will."

I haven't read the opinion, but generally speaking, my understanding is that international treaties signed by the US are on the same legal level as the Constitution.
This understanding is incorrect. Its a reasonably common misapplication of Art. VI, para 2: "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
This doesn't mean that treaties (or federal statute law) is on the "same legal level" as the Constitution, it means that the Constitution itself, and any treaties or laws ratified or adopted under it, are superior to acts of state government.
But that's not the plain English sense of the Constitutional text just quoted. It names three things that are the supreme law of the land: "this Constitution", "the laws of the United states which shall be made in pursuance [of this Constitution]", "all treates made...under the authority of the United States". Laws must be in pursuance of the Constitution to be supreme law of the land, but treaties don't have to be.

Or Quark.
nm can mean "nanometer", but it can also mean "nautical mile". I don't think it takes a genius to figure out which was meant here.
It's probably up for grabs whether the Europeans will soldier on; they're having their own problems. Joint venture between Russia and China, perhaps.
Do not trust the pusher robot. He is malfunctioning. Shoving will save you from the terrible secret of space.
Of course you can. You just have to stand *inside* the pyramid!
Wouldn't that be why it's for sale, instead of remaining, say, a Microsoft internal document?
Simple. In this case the defendant had more cash. A LOT more cash.

Yes, it will. Many of the achievements are for using horrid code practices, and there WILL be people who just have to get them.
When my code screams at me, it's time to go home and get eight hours sleep.

Or I could just wish you all happy days in your little sealed-off IPv6 world until such time as it becomes relevant to the rest of us.
Truly, I am impressed.
