You are correct. The issue isn't how easy it is to exploit, but rather how easy it would have been to not have this "feature", and the failure to address it.
In fact, only a few hundred tons of mercury can contaminate an entire ocean.
That's a lot of thermometers.
* 300 tons = 2000x300 = 600,000lbs * There are 453.59 grams in a pound. * Therefore, 300 tones = 272,154,000 grams * A thermometer has between.5 and 3 grams of mercury in it (thx Wikipedia). Lets say 1.5 grams, lower average. * It will take approximately 181,436,001 thermometers to contaminate the entire ocean. * QED
What's next, having to pay money to sing in the shower?
Well, if there is an audience, yes. And it is about time they started making these freeloading children pay their fair share for entertainment. The librarians can always pay for the royalties by simply speaking a commercial every chapter. That way kids can learn about other important thinks like Coke, and the new Barbie./sarcasm
Renaming (actually, "moving") automatically creates a redirect from the old name, to the new name, and bots comb all the articles that have the old link, and fix them to have the new link. As for all old links that you saved, the redirect will automatically take you to the new named article. renaming/moving doesn't break links, it just redirects them back to the original content. The only way a link breaks is if the link is to a subsection, and the subsection changes, but it doesn't matter, as the "broken" link will still always take you back to at least the top of the article, regardless of how many times it has been "moved".
If an article is deleted or merged out, it is only because the topic has been deemed "not notable" by a consensus of editors. There are not typically the types of subjects you would be doing a term paper on. If you "really really" wanted a copy of a deleted article, you can likely talk an admin into userfying a copy of the article for you, as deleted articles aren't really deleted, they are just removed from general access. Same with merged articles. Admins have access to everything, including "deleted" material.
You will never be able to cite Wikipedia in a paper without looking foolish. It really isn't designed for that. You CAN use Wikipedia to get an understanding of a topic, and the references they use are usually pretty good and CAN be used as a cite without looking fooling.
Wikipedia is a great tool, but it will never replace paper encyclopedias, by design. Then again, any paper that only cites encyclopedias (paper or otherwise) isn't a good paper. Even Wikipedia requires multiple sources, as should any good paper, for a balance of perspective and confirmation of key points.
In the US, you can remain silent and not incriminate yourself but still present evidence that exonerates yourself, as long as you aren't the person doing the testifying. Be it video tape, witnesses, data logs, etc.
The basis for this is "It is better for 10 guilty men to go free than 1 innocent man be convicted.", which is (or used to be) the foundation of western jurisprudence.
Then doesn't that change it from a "right to remain silent" to "an option to remain silent"?
Seriously, if you can be outright doubted or accused based on solely on your decision to remain silent, it isn't really a right. You have the "option to remain silent" in any country, although the Brits are not likely to torture you for it.
Me either. I just upgraded two days ago to the LG Extravert (hate those stupid names). It is a dumb phone, but with a physical keyboard. I do end up texting a lot with family all over the states, and even the boss. My old phone was 6 years old (but state of the art for a dumb phone then) and I would still be using it if texting with it didn't drive me crazy.
On the upside, this $79 (with contract) phone cost me nothing since Verizon gave me a 100 buck credit for not changing phones in forever.
there are always outliers in both directions, and they are accounted for. There are insured people who never go to the doctor or need medical treatment. And there are insured people who go every time someone *else* sniffles. Over a large population, it'll balance out just fine.
Not really. In this system, as someone who isn't a hypochondriac, I end up subsidizing their over-zealousness. Then again, it is still better than a government run system, as I at least have choices of carriers and coverage.
There is no profit in putting back profit to serve customers better and fairly. You already have their money, just run. At least that is how Sony does it. And many others.
The key to correcting someone is to be right. Either is acceptable. The version I use is more common, at least in my country of origin, the US. I guess you can nit pick the fact that I dropped the S in "intents", but don't bother.
Ecotec IS a great engine. I already said that. Unfortunately, they put it in a shitty frame with shitty electronics and shitty cosmetic parts. The engine won't die. All the other parts just start falling off.
If the Cruze and the Sonic are the best Chevy can do, then they are doomed. Neither are class leaders, Consumer Reports hasn't sung their praises either. Car and Driver was shocked that the Sonic didn't completely suck http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2012-chevrolet-sonic-ltz-turbo-comparison-test-car-and-driver-page-6 but the version they said was almost as good as the competition cost a few grand more. (this is one of the better reviews)
They are better cars than Chevy has made in a while, but they have a long way to catch up with Asia, particularly at the same price point. Breaks my heart to say that, but the truth hurts sometimes. At least the new Chevrolets are a bit "less ugly" than the last decade, but they still aren't winning any beauty contests either, especially when compared to Ford and Hyundai.
On that note, Ford has really gotten their shit together over the last 5 or 6 years and is producing a good car at a good price. When I bought my last car 6 months ago, I had narrowed it down to Ford and Hyundai. Ironically, part of what sold me on the Hyundai was that the dash layout and interior was more "classic GM" in feel to me, more comfortable. Kept bumping my head getting in and out of the Fords. Didn't hurt that the Hyundai had more power (275hp 2L turbo) and better gas mileage (34 Hwy). I'm averaging 31 in mixed but mainly highway driving. The resale value on Hyundais have also skyrocketed. I put a ton of miles on my Azera over two years, and sold it for almost as much as I had bought it for when it was 1 year old.
Maybe that's part of the reason Pontiac is out of business, for all intent and purposes now. None of the GM divisions have been tops for initial quality, with Cadillac and Pontiac being particularly bad. I'm an old fart, and everyone knows that old farts don't change brands. I've drove GM products for 30 years, including my "05 2500HD work truck, but now I drive a Hyundai Sontata Limited 2.0T back and forth for work. More power, better fuel economy, better quality construction, better everything. The Malibu and Impala (it is sized between the two) don't compare and cost more. This is my 2nd Hyundai, 6 months old with 15k miles, and have no regrets.
I put 30k-40k miles per year and the GMs from 2005 and back start falling apart under that stress when they hit 100k. The engines hold up great, the electronics and cosmetic parts start falling off like dead skin.

Remember when most minor websites had splash screens? Usually flash animation. Was particularly true for gaming clans and other small sites. Splash screens are so 2002.....
I don't mind a splash while it loads drivers, etc. for a few seconds, like Photoshop does, but a splash that stays there until you click to start using the program, well that is just excessive. I already bought the damn program, you don't need to keep advertising it to me, and I already KNOW what the name of the program is, I just started it....
If you actual would bother to read my post, I know it is a state statute. I said as much. The problem is that it gives ideas to to the fed, which could impose the same standard on other states, including states that don't want it, or they don't get their "education funding". That is the complaint. Let Arizona do something stupid, that is fine, the problem is that many fed programs (Obama care, for instance) started out as state programs, and the fed comes in and pushed it down everyone's gullet. This is why it is important to leave education at the state level. If a mistake is made (this is likely one of those times) the amount of damage is limited to that one state. If a state passes a law that actually works, then other states are free to copy it. Not all laws will work in all states, and when the fed gets involved (and lets face it, they always do) then they fuck things up.
I keep telling you people, the federal government has no business in public education, the local and state government. As stupid as this bill seems, the next "logical" step would be for Obama to force it on the rest of the nation. Keeping all education local would prevent this stupidity from leaving Arizona's borders.
Like he said, work up to it. Your tongue doesn't have receptors for "spicy". Spicy foods trigger the pain receptors in your tongue, which can be desensitized with repeated exposure. The side advantage of this is that triggers your pain receptors causes your body to release endorphins, so eating really spicy food makes you feel good. Some think that may be part of the attraction of eating spicy foods, the mild "high" it gives you, or more properly, it makes you feel better. Coincidentally, many really tasty foods just happen to have capsicum in them. Jalepenos, habeneros, and other peppers are quite tasty. Try some Cabot's habenero cheddar for a real treat. Not too hot, but the spice and flavor from the peppers really brings out the flavor of the cheese.
Take two dozen spicy wings, drink lots of fluids, and call me in the morning.
Yes, it does work well from my experiences. I eat a lot of spicy food anyway, but ramping it up with lots of water does seem to open up the head. Capsicums are irritants (tasty irritants) that make your sinuses want to float them out. As long as you drink plenty of water with them, your body will do the rest. Not sure about a major sinus infection, but it surely works great on the typically stuffy head syndrome that I get often enough in the winter.
AT&T needs to learn from the insurance companies - the REAL profit is in selling a product you never intend to deliver.
Yeah, looks like they already have. They have created an all you eat buffet, then make you wait in a long line if you try to get a second helping, hoping you will lose your appetite.
You say: "Oh, so his Grammy-worthy contribution to music was creating a fucking store? Wow..."
Everyone knows that if Steve Jobs had not invented the digital music store, then everyone would have quit listening to music, and we would all be listen to talk radio by now, and the poor musicians would have to eek out a living by only getting paid for live performances. Never in the history of music have musicians been forced to do that.
