But if you build a dam with known access roads and ANYbody can walk up to it, put a stick of dynamite in it and walk away, YOU are also responsible for not securing access.
Huh? You've just described about every dam in the world.
"known access roads"? You think they can be hidden?
Come on over to the US, we don't have biometric ID's yet
That would be very clever. To avoid having to carry biometric ID in the UK, where he has the protection of the European convention on human rights he moves to the US, where he gets fingerprinted on entry, and looses all human rights protection. Aliens are not covered by the bill of rights you know.
Hey, Chirac, what part of: "Nul ne doit être inquiété pour ses opinions, même religieuses, pourvu que leur manifestation ne trouble pas l'ordre public établi par la Loi." don't you understand?
Good god, Slashdot didn't zap the accents! What is the world coming to.

Bottom line: climatologists have no real idea why the Little Ice Age occurred, and the current warming trend appears to have begun circa 4000 BCE... Which makes it hard to blame on CFCs.
Can't tell your global warming from your ozone hole?
(Yes, I know that CFC's are greenhouse gasses too).
... slight, if not crucial difference, there's a subtle shortcoming in that the cars don't stop! (nor does there seem to be a legal reason to do so)...
No, the French law is nearly the same as the UK one, the cars are supposed to stop. It's just another example of the uselessness of laws that aren't enforced.
(The rule is supposed to be that cars have to stop if the pedestrian is "engaged", i.e. has started to cross.)
Most of the time, Open Source will have a much [higher] TCO than a Windows or OSX machine
Yup, but have you ever tried to deal with more than one? I have 8 and it's just impossible. Installing the things the users want in the same way on all machines, keeping up with the windows update jones, yelling at the poor bastard who opens a zip file and clicks on the harmless.TXT [...PIF] file inside it...
TCO? I've been a programmer/sysadmin for more than 20 years now and 8 Windows systems is more than I can handle. Can you imagine how much I cost?
... he treated us to a ten-minute tale about an alien race of happy blue monsters who fled their home planet after a naughty race of "Zartans" messed things up and tried to eat them...
An obvious cover story, it's the invasion of the body snatchers I tell you!
Change the exchange rates with China and India in order to make American economy more competitive
You expect too much. Governments can fuck an economy up, but they can't do all that much to make things better.
The exchange rates reflect the underlying problems (the US is worth less than everyone thought, all that external investment is turning to dust). How do you think they can change the exchange rates? Are you prepared for >10% interest rates?

That's flamebait? I'd go for Insightful myself.

You want:
Um, one of the most "dangerous" islamic "radicals" in London happens to have no hands.
Israel thought a blind guy in a wheelchair was so dangerous they blew him up with an anti-tank missile.
You gotta watch out for them cripples.
4) invisible pink unicorns destroying the houses of parlement.
Personaly I've always liked article 10.

Sounds like a korean car.
(Yes, I know that CFC's are greenhouse gasses too).
Dumb to kill the host quickly when you could be spreading silently for years.
Surely this merits study.
Don't call me Shirley.
Wow, you learned as much as you could about French culture and they still treated you like shit?
You poor baby.
Or, as we might put it over here: va te faire foutre, p'tit con.
Oh no, you killed the jews you Nazi bastard!
Not quite indescrimnately(sp?), it only bans "large" xtian crosses.
AFAIK "large" is not defined by the law.
It's also, as far as I can tell, unconstitutional.
IANAFCL however.
The Canadians use heavy water in the Candu design.

Bring on the outsourcing I say.
Servers are easy. It's desktop systems that are the pain.
