The Enhanced Fujita Scale-- which estimates wind speed on the basis of damage assessments, not on measurements, has an EF-5 category-- steel reinforced concrete structures are critically damaged; high rise buildings sustain severe structural damage. An Ef5 tornado is believed to have winds in excess of 200 mph.
Hurricane Camille had sustained wind-speeds of up to 190 mph.
So there might be some usefulness to a sixth category, but it hasn't happened yet.
Imagine having to make a rational decision as to the benefits and costs of continued existence, Most people, aside from the very aged and the very depressed would value continued existence quite highly. Now imagine that you were suffering from a mental condition that exaggerated the costs, and downplayed the benefits, such that every day you took time out of your life to seriously contemplate this otherwise laughable dilemma. What if the only thing preventing the suicide was logistical? What if you worried about how hard it would for someone to find your body and clean up the blood and brains? Is that sort of concern really a sign of a healthy mind?

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Pedophilic Disorder was added to the DSM so that it could be used as a defense. If you are on trial for child abuse, you could claim insanity and be sentenced to treatment for PD rather than jail time.
Perhaps you also believe that psychiatry as a whole is a detriment to society, as it attempts to excuse willful departures from rationality as some sort of disease.
How recently did GCHQ attempt to destroy one of the Guardian's copies? It's not really clear whether this happened before or after Miranda was detained.
Until you are convicted in court of being a pedophile, you are not a pedophile.
"Pedophillic Disorder" is listed in the DSM-V,though individuals seeking treatment for this may be exposing themselves to legal liability, depending on the porosity of doctor-patient confidentiality laws.
You may be surprised to see, with your own eyes, that the current POTUS has said the following "... that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties "
Yes. Inasmuch as liberty can be divided into positive and negative freedoms, it's most useful to to think of the constitution as a guarantor of negative liberty.
in US v Franklin et al, Rosen and Weissman were charged with " "Conspiracy to communicate national defense information to persons not entitled to receive it", and Rosen was charged with "Communication of national defense information to persons not entitled to receive it,"
The government believes that Assange conspired with his sources and communicated to his readers.
Nor do you have the right to contact a solicitor, as this is ostensibly about terrorism. Can't have the proper climate of fear with pesky lawyers running around.
Yes, eleven years ago we knew that it had collapsed, but we didn't know why it had collapsed. This new model might both explain why, and perhaps predict future ice shelf collapse.
There are readers that have the option to automatically scroll for you. If you can read an entire line without moving your eyes and have it scroll at the right speed you can speed read a book with less eye movement.
You may even be able to read one handed though I'd suggest that you refrain from doing so while on a public bus.
1: A feature (mainly for database licensing) to turn off half the cores, let the cores working use the cache on the cores turned off, and crank the clock speed up. Performance in that mode is almost the same as turning on all cores, but these results can vary on what is bring run.
How's that going to be useful in a free software context? It sounds almost akin to a bug.
Apple regularly exploits "high speed" internet to push hefty MacOSX updates. The Combo update to 10.8.4 is 849 MB; the incremental update is 359 MB.
Still, if it takes longer to install the patch than to download it, it's not a compelling argument for more bandwidth. I suppose that if you do installs during your commutes, and waiting for the download will make you late for work, then it's nice.
"What great new applications does a household ADSL connection permit? I am genuinely curious. The best I can think of is widespread piracy. As for audio, people are willing to tolerate a few kilobit, 128k audio. Even flac only needs 1000 kilobit. Verizon Fios has been offering 512k and 1 megabit connections, for at least a few years. At least of few million people in America have access to such connections. If there was an obvious economic use of ADSL internet connection, some people would be aware of it by now."
Are you quoting someone? Verizon FIOS supports up to 300 Mb/s (and possibly more). Video streaming (by multiple clients)was the killer app for a while--I'm not sure why any one household would need more than thirty or forty megabits per second, but I don't have the bandwidth to find out.
This sounds like they have zero experience in application design, much less for mobile devices, and never learned a thing about hardware abstraction, and are trying to micromanage the interface. Sounds like they even skipped web design, and are coming directly from the printed page mind-set.
Their ipad app should already use Model View Controller. They just need to rewrite everything in Java, and incorporate a few android specific fixes. Easy!

Fun fact: New York doesn't have many alleys
and in this particular case, it was an EPIC FAIL.
But they have taken legal action.
Letter from Miranda's attorneys
Even if you don't agree with Miranda's position, the letter is still worth reading, as it lays out the facts in meticulous detail.

The Doctor is still going to be the Doctor. He'll just have the appearance of a dirty old man.

Hulu doesn't "share" its content with me. It streams it....

Why would Linus care about the limitations of 20 bit memory addressing, when he had a 386?

Of course, if Apple made its products in California, it wouldn't have to import them from its Chinese suppliers.
