Isn't "less douchebag-y Facebook friends" an oxymoron? I thought the main point of facebook is for people to try and out douchebag everybody else, unless your a crazy cat person then you post cat pictures.
Isn't mealworms the total gross-out food on "Fear Factor"? Or perhaps the better question is, "Is it Halal?". My Facebook is getting blown-up with stories about Syrian Refugees refusing food because it isn't good enough for them, imagine serving them mealworms!
taking out a conventional city that ISIS wholly controls in a Dresden like firebombing is now perfectly acceptable
No, it's a war crime and can be prosecuted under international law.
well actually
The Conventions apply to a signatory nation even if the opposing nation is not a signatory, but only if the opposing nation "accepts and applies the provisions" of the Conventions. Geneva Conventions
there would be little argument to support ISIS accepting and applying the provisions of the Geneva Conventions.
An attack by bombardment by any methods or means that treats as a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives is considered to be an indiscriminate attack and is prohibited. Launching such an attack in the knowledge that it will cause excessive loss of life, injury to civilians, or damage to civilian objects is considered a grave breach. Bombarding areas containing solely military targets is permitted. Important powers such as the United States, which are not party to Protocol I, accept this principle as binding customary international law. Carpet or Area Bombing
1. the use of the term "excessive" also gives quite a bit of wiggle room as the Protocol I doesn't prohibit any loss of civilian life or property, only excessive loss of civilian life or property. 2. A credible argument could be made that any city that ISIS wholly controls is a single military objective 3. The US while voluntarily adhering to Protocol I, is not a signatory to and doesn't recognise international jurisdiction in this matter.
... Anonymous is simply impotent against an organization like IS.
I'm not so sure, an Anonymous attack on ISIS would certainly interfere with their social media recruiting, release of the server access.log and error.log could easily provide numerous oppertunities to Law Enforcement or Intelligence, and not to mention the possibility of making an IT worker on the inside, who's sympathetic to Anonymous a lot easier to turn. The thing about organisations like ISIS is they heavily depend on a few charismatic individuals to present their public face, which provides LE, Intel and Anonymous with high value targets like Mohammed Emwazi AKA "Jihadi John" to concentrate on.
ISIS's name is “al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi Iraq wa al-Sham.” is converted to an acronym Daesh which is an Arabic word
That daesh is an Arabic word in its own right (rather than an acronym) meaning ‘a group of bigots who impose their will on others’ That it can be ‘differently conjugated’ to mean either the phrase above or ‘to trample and crush’ That one of the words in the acronym also means ‘to trample or crush’ That it is an insult or swearword in its own right That is has different meanings in the plural form Decoding Daesh: Why is the new name for ISIS so hard to understand?
ISIS hates the term and often makes death threats against those who use; relabeling ISIS as Daesh is used as a provocative insult.
The Chain-gang hasn't gone away, well the chains part has, but we have jail prisoners doing lots of thing around here. Prisoners pretty much run the day to day operation of our county's animal control, cut grass and clear snow for parks and recreation and forestry; it's all voluntary and quite popular with the inmates. Even during WW II German POWs worked in the communities, often leaving and returning to camp without supervision. It's all a matter of risk assessment.
The calls are prefaced by "This call may be monitored unless it is to an Attorney or an Elected Official, we should be able to take them at their word. In the post 9-11 world, the Law Enforcement and Intelligence communities have been granted unprecedented latitude to protect us from terrorism and we have depended on the good character of honourable men to prevent abuse, they are proving to be not of good character nor honourable.
I suspect the Courts are not going to be amused, when every Jail-house Lawyer is filing appeals for a can of bugler and clogging up their dockets for years and their are probably a lot of dirt-bag Attorneys on the outside crapping their pants too.
The weather in most of Antartica is dominated by very cold, dry air descending from high altitude; any additional moisture would have rained out much farther north.
It was inconvenient for this administration that climate data has clearly showed no warming for the past two decades. The American people have every right to be suspicious when NOAA alters data to get the politically correct results they want and then refuses to reveal how those decisions were made. NOAA needs to come clean about why they altered the data to get the results they needed to advance this administration’s extreme climate change agenda. The agency has yet to identify any legal basis for withholding these documents. The Committee intends to use all tools at its disposal to undertake its Constitutionally-mandated oversight responsibilities. Congressman doubles down, accuses NOAA scientists of doctoring results
why should anyone trust an agency that refuses to comply with a Congressional subpoena?
Here goes: 1) Several billion caves need to be dug out. 2) Seven billion people are now dumping untreated human waste somewhere. 3) Seven billion people are cheating on their grass diet and using more land for food than current (because single family plots is grossly inefficient for food production).
On the plus side, when most of humanity dies-off, it'll be a much lower environmental footprint for whatever survives (which probably won't be most large animals).
Except people don't live like that, we've always clustered into multi-family groups, divided labor among the able-bodied, always did some communal farming and some familial farming, same with hunting and gathering. In a lot of ways the real advancement in human culture was cooking and money. Money allowed us to barter for future production.
SOx are not added to the fossil fuels, they are the remains of the sulphates use by the plants that became your fuel. Heavy fuels, like diesel fuel tend to have more sulphur in them and diesel engine injectors and fuel pumps were designed to take advantage of the sulphur’s lubricity, now that ultra-low sulphur diesel is the norm, people with older diesels either have to use biodiesel or add an injector lubricant.
It is that easy to figure, hydrocarbons emitted is subtracted form the fuel used gives you the fuel combusted; the fuel has a fairly accurately know number of carbon atoms which is converted to CO2. If the amount of CO2 varies from the expected at the tailpipe, then either your HC sensor is out of tolerance or your CO2 sensor is. I'm sure the only reason they actually measure CO2 is because some EU Bureaucrat with his/her head buried up his/her ass decided to require it to fight the global warming that hasn't happened for 18 years.
"So you are saying I can get a cheap VW diesel for the next few years?"
If you live in Africa, yes, because that's where the cars that are going to be exported to. The models they have to buy back, because it's too expensive to fix them.
Shit, I was thinking a 1.5L TDI would make a hellacious Lawn mower engine!
No, you fire him for using his cell phone on the clock; how would he know there was no cell reception if he was using personal electronics on company time? I'm sure there is a clause in the Employee Manual that everyone ignores about it.
No the wire vaporizes and provide a conductive Ion trail to the grounded equipment in the house, if a 110 kV power line short circuit does this, imagine what a million volt lightening strike might do.
Actually closer inspection makes that 2/25. Corps have a big interest here because they are completely locked out of any kind of UAV operation by FAA regulations; UAVs are recreational use only currently.

Think of it more as a group bent on establishing a theocratic dictatorship launched an attack on the free world.

Who cares, just drop a cornucopia in the exercise yard and tell them only one prisoner gets to leave the island

Oh, no it's not that way at all. The cheat increases NOx emission and gains improved fuel mileage, which reduces Evil(tm), global warming causing CO2!

Assuming that there's no asshat turning on the power while you are working because they needed the power NOW.
That should be controlled by appropriate Lockout-Tagout, hard to turn something on when the switch is padlocked and the key is in your pocket.
If they are doing high-frequency trading, the extra milliseconds that the other datacenter is taking will kill their profits.
