I think so. A Bayesian interpretation is, the probability of the asteroid hitting earth, given the current observations is 1 in 625. Every time you get new observations, you update p( X | data ). Every time someone says probability of X, you assume it's "given current data".
The world is full of graduates who passed their courses. I want to see something else if I'm hiring, like working on open source projects, writing original papers, etc. This is the sort of attitude I expect from school up to the age of 18, not a university. (And yes, I used to decide filtering policy at a university, though not a US one. Is it better to block Internet banking sites and lose an hour of someone's time to get into town and back, or take the hit and have them only unavailable for 10 minutes?)
This. I used to work for a uni and we made every effort to look after people, even those using "unsupported" OSs like Linux. (half of the 3rd line support guys had Linux desktops, so it was only "unsupported" officially - in practice everything worked fine.) We blocked the bare minimum of content - ie. some English student is probably writing an essay on pr0n for all I know. If you're going to get a worm, you can get it over 3G anyway - guess what the default route is going to be when you disconnect?
And there, I was the security guy. But then I'm not a ****.
"The IRA conducted an armed campaign, primarily in Northern Ireland but also in England and mainland Europe, over the course of which it was responsible for the deaths of approximately 1,800 people. The dead included around 1,100 members of the British security forces, and about 630 civilians." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_Irish_Republican_Army
Yes, there are Muslim terrorists. There are also plenty of other crazy people out there who are out to kill you. There were Maoists in Nepal, and still are in northern Indian states. There's FARC in Colombia, ETA in Spain and Shining Path in Peru. No-one has a monopoly on crazy.
Exactly. ARM2 didn't have FP, people still wrote some extremely good stuff for it. (You can always approximate it by pretending that the last 10 bits are 2^-1, 2^-2,... 2^10 and multiplying out - in fact shifting - when you need the answer. I've written graphics demos like that.)
An enquiry is when I enquire about why my broadband is down. An inquiry is when a judge (or similar) is having a formal dig into something, like Leveson is now.
I don't expect.usians to know this - or even really.ukians - but do allow for the possibility that your "inquiry" is not our "inquiry". Or if you don't allow for that possibility, please do not start talking about pants.
Always. For example, Caroline Lucas is the leader of the Green Party in the UK. Do a google search for "Caroline Lucas jobs" and you will see quite a lot of stuff.
Sorry if we don't conform to your ill-informed stereotype.

Your realise that this makes no sense, given that Nigeria is very much in WEST Africa, and thousand and thousands of miles away?

You said a cash grab at US companies. That's demonstrably not true.
EU fines Deutsche Post half a billion Euros. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-01-25/deutsche-post-to-appeal-eu-ruling-on-repaying-state-aid.html
If you don't want to get fined, don't break the rules. BTW, Korea and other jurisdictions fined Intel for breaking the rules to kill AMD.
IOW, the IRA has killed more British people than any other terrorist organisation in recent history. And wasn't the US government busy pimping out kids in the case you allude to? http://news.change.org/stories/wikileaks-reveals-us-tax-dollars-fund-child-sex-slavery-in-afghanistan

If you look, you will find that all companies operating within the EU are fined for breaches regardless of where they are nominally based.
Marry an EU resident :)

People? cf. LTTE, IRA, UDF, November 17, McVeigh, etc. etc.
pants is underwear over here, where as it's trousers over there - often with hilarious consequences.

Thanks muchly, our economy needs a bit of a boost right now.
and you can't make anyone a great mathematician, but we still teach arithmetic.

"Ouch! that was a statistical outlier though - there is no long term evidence of a punching trend"
I know this one! "emacs".
I think I've worked for one of those in the past :)
But in the end we couldn't affjord it.
cobblers - the grass is fuckin' brown in Australia mate
described somewhere as "having the massive handicap of knowing what he is talking about".
2cm is 0.02 m
cancelling gives 4 000 m^3.
Do you rate drainage systems or river flow in acre-feet/second ? or do you change to a new unit convenient for that particular application?
1233 cubic metres. Trust those crazy Europeans to make it so complicated!
an acre-foot looks to be about 1300 m^3. (acre is ~4000m^2 and a foot is about a third of a meter). oh yeah, Google sez 1233m^3. Silly me.
