Some countries that are well in the black, like Norway, still keep a steady 60% of GDP in government bonds.
This has little to do with raising money. What they are providing is safe and stable investment option in the currency in question, which benefits the economy of that country in many ways.
Someone who is innocent of embezzling will be stressed out over the more minor questions, but will relax a bit when asked the real question. "Oh, they care about embezzling? Well, I certainly never did that!" The guilty person wouldn't be expected to relax on that question.
"Oh shit, they think I also embezzled money."
Yeah, I can see this clearly separating the liars from the innocent. ^_^
Sure, he was a nerdy kid, but the reality is nerdy kids typically make the most money after they get older. After-all, most are relatively intelligent, and most are going to go on to college. The attributes that draw ire from your high school peers are what often translate very well into sucess in a career.
Pfft.. Har Har... Very funny.
Truth is nerdy kids would have about the same distribution of smart and braindead kids as any other group. Just cause the football club members aren't showing off their math skills to all their friends doesn't mean they're all stupid. And playing Magic or showing off your nerddom doesn't mean you are a misunderstood genius..
Yes, and it is the responsibility of any magazine/etc to fire him for exposing private emails.
Go ahead, expose those evil, slimy game publishers who dear to ask your magazine to mention that the game has had good reception from others. But don't act all wronged and butthurt when posting that mail on the interwebs loses your job.
Toby McCasker was sacked for a number of reasons, one of which was his decision to post a private email on his Facebook page. This email was not referring to a game review. He should not be considered a credible source of information on this matter.
As a reviewer you don't go around posting emails sent by the game publishers that are intended to be private, that reflects badly both on you and your employer. Some of the circumstantial information we got on him suggests he might just be a self-centered douche-bag.
Really, let the free market (if we have one anyways, and no doubt the UK has screwed themselves already with NHS and the like....) rule and get rid of the worthless technicians. Its not too hard.
Yeah, the NHS kinda sucks compared to public health care in other countries. But that's all they got and I guess they should be glad they're not buttfucked like the americans.
"We're making an appeal today to build a society without child pornography," said Anges Chan, a UNICEF ambassador and well-known media personality in Japan. "We're trying to build a national movement to appeal to the government to outlaw the possession of child pornography."
Agnes Chan... the very same former gravure idol that made a plea for donations to Somali children from her super-gaudy luxury mansion? The one that is famous for ad hominem attacks when complex issues relating to privacy are discussed in the diet?...
When I had my lucid dreams it was me as a half-man half-tiger creature running around savagely ripping apart my opponents with my claws and hunting down girls.
Worse than that... The libertarian view of self-regulation due to penalties is missing a really obvious factor:
The willingness of people to take risks in exchange for profit.
Let's say you got $1 million invested. You see an opportunity to increase the value of your company to $20 million, but there's a catch. There is a 10% risk that everything goes to hell; 10.000 farmers downstream will lose their job and you lose everything and spend 10 years in prison.
Libertarians for some reason think no one would take that risk. Those of us who aren't completely braindead know differently.
They were preparing the well for production use by removing the drill and capping it. It's _COMPLETELY_ different from "trying their hardest to stop drilling".
Emergency shutdowns do not usually involve removing everything that keeps a well from blowing out, so your description isn't just badly phrased; it's also completely wrong.
Removing the heavy drill fluid is a dangerous operation that depends on the BOP for last defense. They did not have the last defense.
Halliburton does not have the responsibility of doing checks to ensure the cementing is not faulty. A job like that will always have the risk of being faulty thus tests should be conducted.
There were actually BP employees on the rig telling Transocean to change their plans in order to speed up the process, so they're not without responsibility here. Investigations will likely need to be made to determine how much blame each deserve.
As someone who has studies and reads/speaks japanese (based on traditional chinese characters) it's _ALL_ about pictographic/ideographic combinations. As the language has developed and they need to describe more and more complex concepts the combinations do not really make that much sense from the outside, yet they're still pictograms.
Let's take e.g. philosophical, tetsugakuteki. Looking at the first kanji, tetsu, we have a mouth (square) and to break (radical for holding and an axe). Those radicals and kanjis that make up tetsu are easily recognized as what they depict if you know their meaning and what to look for.
So if I wanted to read out the pictograms making up a word like philosophical in their most basic meanings it would end up something like; Hand holding axe over mouth, children in front of... etc etc.
While I don't particularly like Halliburton, they still aren't responsible here unless more information surfaces.
They did do the cementing according to specs as far as we know. There is no guarantee that it didn't contain any faults (since it is pretty damn far down), which is why doing the testing (that BP skipped) is a good idea.
Chanting 'nigger nigger nigger nigger' to the face of a black guy would be harassment if he tried to leave but you kept following him acting threateningly.
The part that makes it harassment isn't the nigger part, it's the 'acting threateningly in the face of' part. If I make a song called 'A Ballade for Niggerism' that consist of nothing but racial slurs against black guys, there's nothing you can hold against that unless you're one of the PC pricks.
And the 'peaceful moderates' that Islamic people always claim make up the majority of their people really need to step up to the plate here.
Well, of course it doesn't make sense to people who lack facilities for reasoning.
Besides, it's not like credit cards are identified by unique numbers so how are they going to keep people from buying additional devices? (And what braindead user with mod points thought the above poster was informative?)

I believe what you meant was you traded that for giving all your money to China, health insurance companies and greedy doctors.

I just avoid flying to or through US territories. Saves me anal probes and getting patted down by overweight, smelly wannabe cops.

Beats going bankrupt or dying cause you didn't have any line to stand in for 6 hours.

Everyone knew unlimited data would be cut?
Oh, right... You're talking of the US here. Never mind.
You sure about that? What about the environmental cost of growing more food for the biker to do his biking?
..., how breasts used to sometimes be shown on public TV, ...
That is more a sexual confusion amongst Americans, not Westerners. Europe has had breasts on TV since forever.

She's the Sarah Palin of Japan.
BORING ASS DREAMS!!!

Yeah, and we're so old-fart'ish that at the time when we installed it on our system Slackware was the hottest new thing around.
Over the years every component in our systems might have been replaces 2-3 times each, yet the soul of the machine is still slack.
