I know they're always ignored and this one fails to attack the most significant points - such as the government's treatment of Snowden as a criminal rather than a whistleblower showing up abuse.
However, lots of votes will at least make ignoring the call embarrassing. Even the americans are claiming to review the situation.
Because Windows is only there to support legacy programs, and they're most reliably supported by the OS they were originally written for.
If I wanted to use some recent program that required Windows 7, that might be a different matter. But I don't know of any such program.
This is Wall Street. Manhattan. Terrorists have tried to blow it off the map multiple times. Several hurricanes have hit this spit of land that sits a mere few feet above sea level in the last decades. A hurricane hit and flooded parts last year even!
And that's the best site you can find for a datacentre ?
Doesn't give me much confidence in your financial organisation's acumen.
So what happens when she's in charge ? I guess she sends in the police, pushes Assange to wherever her masters tell her, and then gets blamed / sacked as an apology for the resulting diplomatic outcry. Which is handy, as she's a liability the government would love to lose.
You're assuming the loss is via a compromised computer.
For me, the most likely loss of the key is laptop theft. So I want to ensure that isn't going to give an automatic login to the home machine. i'd prefer to have both key pair and password, but failing that I think password is preferable to key pair.
But the incarnation in current Debian (icedove 3, whatever that corresponds to) sucks. It was once fairly well-behaved, but now changes the screen format when you search, adds all sorts of stupid indentation and grouping to the accounts menu and generally behaves like a kid's been let loose with the feature list.
Maybe it's time to go back to MH.
Well, I'd never heard of him before. Perhaps, outside of some small group of fans, this represents his true worth.
And I won't be looking to find out what other opinions he might have - I can do without that sort of sloppy thinking, thanks.
Yup. If Atwood thinks typing speed is the limiting factor (ie he's I/O bound) then there are a number of possible solutions, only one of which is increasing the I/O speed.
A better engineering solution (remember - the best engineer is a lazy engineer) is to modify the environment so that less typing is needed for the same result. When I look at code for modern graphical environments I'm horrified by the code density (in terms of source code) - there's simply way too much typing to achieve very little. This is what needs fixing, not typing speed.
Burying people scales fine, at least for number if not for localised rate.
The problem is with reserving the places they're buried in for a period much longer than their actual life. We should fill a graveyard, then reuse it as a field and move the burying onto another place. A period of say, 100 years between burying and growing would leave adequate time for direct relatives to feel their loved ones were respected.
Turning perfectly good fertilizer into carbon, on the other hand, is silly.
And all the places I've seen it (mostly animated catalogues) are hateful. I hope Microsoft get the patent and make it really expensive to use - then I'll never see one of the stupid things again.
Just give me the next page dammit without a cutesy animation.

If public safety is his concern, there are many more dangerous things than terrorism :
americans-are-as-likely-to-be-killed-by-their-own-furniture-as-by-terrorism
us-police-murdered-5000-innocent-civilians-since-911

Dead right you should think of the children. They're dangerous.
For 'one of the worst music publicity stunts of all time', please read 'something that annoys a tiny minority of users'.
But you have no credibilty, because you are an anonymous coward. Snowdon specifically renounced his anonymity, because he is not a coward.
In a democracy, the public IS a higher authority than the government. Sometimes, the officials forget this.

Either a bot, or an intelligent user who won't read the adverts. Same result for the advertiser.

Why would you invest in a company that has lost confidence in it's own future ?

Is it as annoying as that google misfeature that displays a page of search results then hides them just as you're about to click on one ?

Coming soon to a location near you ..
No, it's BOTH those things together - ie, a missile. Each is ok on it's own.
FSVO of terrorist. Iirc, the IRA caused rather less hand-wringing in the 1970s.

So who, exactly, wanted to assert this right ? Names, please, not agencies.
So, is there a firefox plugin that fills in captchas for me ?
