And while it is true that "you can't take their guns" is a reasonable inference from "they are ready and waiting for you", it is also a reasonable inference that "you can't take their trousers"
And, them being British, it's reasonable to assume that Revere was realy worried about them wanting his trousers.
If you asked somebody in 1985 what the chances of the shuttle being destroyed with all hands they would have said 1 in 100,000 launches or whatever - right now the trend is closer to 1:75.
Not quite true, when Feynman asked people at NASA the managers came up with the 1 in 100,000 (or even "never"!) quotes. When he asked the engineers they came up with numbers between 1 in 50 and 1 in 100.
The fact is that we have *moved on* and live in the now of our own immediacy. Knowledge of these people will rarely help you in any business or IT environment.
How the hell can I respond to this?
I can't. Someone who could write such a statement is beyond help. Too many like him and we are all beyond help.
Yes, I would take the person who has proven that she can stand up to corrupt politicians and big business over the proto-fascist currently in the White House.
You are insane.
Please contact a doctor as soon as you can, for your own sake, if not your friends and family.
Many banks (at least in the UK) still use a variant of username+password authentication [...] instead of the much safer challenge-response method using an external pin-device (like this) [...]
This for me is the biggest sign that they're perfectly willing to seriously sacrifice security for the sake of saving a couple of pounds per customer on the pin-device.
You're presenting my arguments for me: USA specifically signed membership treaty while telling ICC that it will not ratify it until USA citizens get immunity. I wonder why would USA want immunity...
Yeah.
American exceptionalism.
Americans are the good guys, therefore any attempt to "bring them to justice" is by definition unjust.
@Nuremberg, sure. But that was when such trials were in their infancy.
Today, winners are exempt from war crime trials until regime change occurs in their nation. Then sometimes they are hauled before the ICC or another international tribunal, because the new regime is willing to give them up.
Which explains GWB's residence in a cell in the Hague.
Or, maybe not.
Nuremburg is dead. "War crimes" now officaly means "bad stuff done by people we don't like".
Big deal.
Idiots at Siemens EOL'd it though. Looks like the ProTalk IP range makes a good replacement. That plus a bit of Asterisk hacking could be fun.
But, seriously, why do you think that some understanding of physics implies a desire for "Global Communist Government"?
I don't know why you would make a connection to physics... at all. Way out in left field, dude.
The new fake environmentalism has nothing to do with science at all. Their own documents from the original Agenda 21 to the documents from the PCSD and ICLEI state that it doesn't matter whether the science can be proven or not, the agenda is the most important thing.
co2 is a ghg
co2 is increasing
the increase is of human origin
global temperatures are increasing
this increase is consistent with and explained by the co2 rise

It gives me freedom to go wherever I want, whenever I want. I am hostage to nothing but the supply of gasoline.
Roads?
Hahahahha.
And if your photo is taken by a red light camera the POLICE are the accuser, not the camera.
... to run a red light, crushing anyone in our way.
No, no. You need the silver to disguise yourself as a smurf.
Uh, but he is. Nothing "far left" about knowing that.
That's the current Republican (sorry "Tea party") view.
And, them being British, it's reasonable to assume that Revere was realy worried about them wanting his trousers.
And it won't be a minor problem.
Start the hoarding now to bring on the collapse earlier.
Let the panic buying commence!
Or because it's already failed its stress test.
There is a minor problem with burning lots of gas and coal.
A decade is a bit short but don't forget that France built 56 reactors in 15 years.
Did the France of 1974 have bigger balls that the US does in 2011?

Alaska shares a border with Russia? What, has the land bridge come back recently?

Got to hope the pin-device isn't made by RSA
Got any evidence that you're not a pack of fucking retards?

What's to prove?
That there is a way to reverse the trend?
How could there not be?
That it's worth global slavery and depopulation to do that?
Who's proposing that solution?

I see no reason to imply a connection to lizard people.
