I can predict with 100% certainty that you can't read the difference between Chile and California.
Also, lol at not understanding what the numbers actually mean and why they are useful. These earthquakes are caused by stress having been built up between tectonic plates, and the predictions give you an indication of how likely that stress is to be released at a certain magnitude. Your prediction of >7.5 with 80% likelihood the next 30 years is useless because it is an intentionally low-ball figure that doesn't give us any useful information abut the estimated stresses in the fault lines.
Not to mention Telenor, the Norwegian telecom company, has been in long court battles fighting what is essentially a russian-style theft of the company Wimpelcom. The Wind Mobile company isn't worth anywhere near 6 billion dollars.
After dozens of phone calls from mom I have to say I'm pretty damn fed up by her attempts at pressuring me to leave. There's no ostrich impression going on here, we're quite perfectly capable of assessing the situation and come to the right conclusions on evacuation plans.
Hell, I grew up in the Nordic countries during the time the radiation from Chernobyl was blowing around so why should brief periods of 10x background radiation levels worry me?
And speaking of epicenters... What really _does_ worry me is the Tokai fault line, the one that is predicted overdue to cause the great Tokyo earthquake and is now under even more stress.
How is it misleading? Do you have information that BFDI was the ones holding up the request?
It might very well have been the American side that kept demanding better identification, account activity, etc. (That BFDI didn't officially 'send' the request doesn't mean they didn't try getting the asked for paperwork done)
Yes, it's pretty hard to pass power from the 60Hz part to the affected 50Hz parts and I don't think they got any proper equipment in place for this. Luckily I live in one of the 23 wards of Tokyo-to so I'm ok. ^_^
I've been saying the same thing for a long time... Just look at the electorate system, etc... Obviously not a democracy in any useful meaning of the word.
In my definition of The Bost Important Linux Distribution, the one and only qualification is that it is running on one of my machines. Thus Slackware takes that price with ease.
What does really (not) surprise me is they were using those stolen cards for stupid smalltime stuff like pay hotel bills. Seriously, that's just stupid when you're making enough money illegally.
There has been graphical user interfaces named something window related for long before MS Windows got released, yet MS Windows squashes any use of the word Windows in this context just cause they achieved mindshare. So I fail to see your point... If however you're arguing in addition that MS does not have the right to Windows trademark then that's different.
Pure research of this kind does not usually have any immediate applications that can be pointed to, so your question isn't exactly applicable. What we do know is that pure (or basic) research often enable progress in more practical oriented research.
Norwegian companies have reported still meeting problems trading with China for having had the gal to give the price to a Chinese criminal, and the Chinese refuse to accept that the Nobel Peace Committee is independent of government.
I wonder if this misunderstanding could be rectified if WikiLeaks was given the peace price? At the very least China would see that they make decisions that obviously isn't in the best interest of the Norwegian state.
They've found _one_ meteorite with the ingredient, so we know for a fact that it was 'brought' to earth... Or are you trying to claim that meteorite was planted there by some meta-physical being?
I'm sorry... When in the history of human existance has more people been pulled up from poverty than the past decade?
China, India, the many smaller countries in Asia, the burgeoning middle class in Africa... You see only what is 3 feet in front of you, ignoring everything else.
Bought my MBP 17" some 5 years ago and it is still going strong, with just some flickering on the bottom half of the screen that i can easily remedy with a piece of plastic. Definitely worth spending a bit extra to get quality.

The problem of LED lighting has already been solved, it just needs to be put on the market. Basically it is a small layer that absorbs the light from the LED and re-emits it as much more pleasing wavelengths.
You're right, there wasn't any torture going on.
Let's not confuse enhanced interrogation techniques with torture as those are totally different things.
An EAW can only be issued for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution (not merely an investigation), or enforcing a custodial sentence.[1] It can only be issued for offences carrying a maximum penalty of 12 months or more.
Yet Sweden claims they're only interested in him for questioning, and have not yet charged him with anything... What you say about there only needing to be an investigation is not actually true.
Sweden also has strict laws against extralegal renditions to countries that torture prisoners, but that didn't help the guy who found himself in Egypt after getting booked by Happy Fun Fun Charter Tours.
This isn't about 'what is likely' to happen... Sure it's unlikely that Sweden will send him off to the US against local laws, what does matter is that the court must be convinced there is no chance at all it will happen. Not just that it isn't likely for some reason like "he's white, not brown like that other guy". Precedent says Sweden is willing to break the law to appease the US, and this seems like a prime candidate for that happening again.
Also it should be obvious why the UK and Australia would want Sweden to do the rendition, as such an action would cause huge political problems. Better to have little Sweden do the dirty work.

Towelheads don't know how to handle democracy, didn't you get the memo?
Please don't do that... my family is panicking enough as it is demanding I take the first possible flight home.

Yeah... And WWI was started by an assassination, lol.

I would say not many years... This was obviously a writers block of some sort, and once past that the speed of publication should be fast enough.
And they still have those offshore accounts...

Getting the citations for the GP is an NP-complete problem...
And he's saying things that make absolutely sense to me, so I'll skip on the citations.

And now _YOU_ can search the documents here thanks to the Norwegian newspaper that got hold of the cables.
