I'm fine with killing al-Awlaki, but targeted assassination, just on the say-so of the National Security Council, is open to abuse. There needs to be judicial review or congressional oversight. If the Whitehouse shuts down your website, at least you're still alive to take it to court.
Firefox developers still didn't implement some sort of "If some extension installed behind my back (offline), ask user about it in next launch" functionality.
It's pre-empted by the "If I'm using Windows assume I expect this sort of nonsense" functionality.
Three moves equals one fire, according to Ben Franklin. Then again, people used to joke that "IBM" stood for "I've been moved," so this may not be a new thing for Big Blue. Mumbai and Minneapolis are interchangeable, if people are just production/consumption units.
Maybe they could pay them their full salary, take it back out of their check with a special tax, and then refund it to them at the end of the year. Of course, that's all blazingly stupid...
"With Veropedia, one must first wait until the article is completed, then wait until it's transferred."
It looks pretty well integrated with Wikipedia's content. If Veropedia does not have an article, the links go to the Wikipedia article. Veropedia's featured article Majungasaurus has blue links to articles that are only on wikipedia (genus, abelisaurid, theropod) and green links to articles that have been checked and brought over to Veropedia (dinosaur, India, South America).
I wonder if they could work out a deal to have the integration go both ways? Wikipedia's search could offer you a stable checked page on Veropedia, or the current working copy on Wikipedia.
"I am annoyed about how they're trying to rid of trivia sections. Those are some of the most interesting parts of an article if you ask me."
Lisa Simpson mentioned triva sections in episode 243, Huh? Whazzat?.
The hot new indie group, Talentless Hacks bemoaned the lack of interest in trivia sections in their hot new single, TediumDeDumDum.
Chaucer is thought to have been referring to trivia sections in Ovid when the Fishwife says "Ye, grought ne t'a doon da derry houghmer, Dude!"
Josh is gay

The most holy Baba Rumrasin created the first trivia section, according to some.
After reaching a peak of quality, Wikipedia articles degenerate into, at best, pointless lists of unrelated facts until someone comes along and cleans it all out. Then, the cycle repeats.
The man would have some point if he argued that laws widely ignored are a bigger problem than laws mostly followed - remember those theories about turn-stile jumping, broken-windows, etc. But the problem here is not that the government isn't doing enough to prop up a busted business model, but that the law does not enjoy much support. And the monetary argument is backwards, like you say. If the government were to consider at all the economic impact in choosing which laws to enforce, you could argue they should prioritize laws without a big economic component, and let the others be resolved by civil litigation.
Sure; it's not a fringe theory because it was deleted; it wasn't even deleted for being a fringe theory - Wikipedia has plenty of pages about those. It was deleted for being "notable primarily in the minds of the advocates," among a few other reasons. It's presence on, and removal from, Wikipedia is for comparison to its posting on Slashdot and the recognition by readers that this is an effort at self-promotion. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

And yet kids who watch violent movies aren't more violent. Weird, eh?
that he would betray the confidence of someone who trusted him.
Reading this upset my stomach.
It would be awesome if I could get a grant to body-check guys with cell phones. For the sake of research, and for the sum of human knowledge, I mean.

If physicists say so, then yes. If priests say so, then no.
"Unfortunately, since we have taken Iraq unilaterally, Russia is free to take Georgia unilaterally, and any other province they can get away with."
I knew it had to be Bush's fault, but I wasn't sure how.

"Two FBI agents walked into a public library in Maryland, without a warrant, and walked out with two computers."
"It was a decision I made on my experience and the information given to me," [the library director] said."
So they asked if they could take the computers, told the librarian why, and he said they could?
"He keeps saying the same things over and over again because people keep making the same dumb mistakes over and over again."
Yes, and they will continue to, but they're pretty much the only people we've got.
"But saying the US is the champion of free speech and then using a contrast where it was them who caused that contrast to exist in the first place..."
Look back further, to the events leading to the allied occupation of Germany, to see who caused what.
I see two solutions:
Actually, I guess I only see one solution.

"I wasn't going to make money on them anyway and might as well make em happy instead of mad."
Another man might say, 'I wasn't going to make money on them anyway, so to hell with them.' There's something really important in that difference.
Just on BBC, "People on low incomes have similar diets to the rest of the population, a government report has said." Of course you'd have to look in detail at exactly what they studied and how, and be careful about extrapolating.

'Astronomers baffled;' yeah, right. This is a fringe 'theory' that was deleted from Wikipedia in January.
Soldiers can't shit without approval.
Well gosh, you wouldn't want to hire any of those people.
