It depends on the definition of "native" I guess: - if it means "first humans to inhabitate a certain territory", then they are. - if it means "first humans to be born in a territory", then almost no human but a small fraction of Africans is native to anywhere.
After a few decades, the inactive account/deposit becomes state's property. That's how Switzerland became THAT rich: offer capital safeguarding during Wolrd Wars, aware that there's always someone who won't come back to claim it.
Apparently, the majority of the people on/. is a FOSS supporter, and acts accordingly. Nobody forbids FOSS detractors to voice their opinion or vote down comments, it's just that there's not enough of them.
You assume that those memory management problems were both easy to spot and fix. They weren't. Kudos for the Firefox devs for finally improving the memory usage situation.
Valve never publishes sales numbers, and as it's not a publicly traded company, it doesn't have to. I have no idea whether Portal 2 should or shouldn't be in that list, but the lack of information about a major publisher like Valve automatically makes any statistic bogus.
Extrapolating from the map, the one major driving reason for homicide rates seem to be wealth. Not much of a surprise, everybody knows misery drives crime rates high. However, among countries with similar wealth, the differentiating factor is fire weapons control: take as an exampe the Scandinavian countries. They're all on generally similar and high wealth conditions, however Finland, which has a much looser weapn control than the others, has a noticeably higher homicide rate.
I believe this is because individuals with aggressive/criminal inclination are more likely to seek the possession of a firearm, and loose weapn control gose to their advantage. Peaceful people are much less likely to seek the possession of a weapon, even if only for defensive purposes.
True, but most other species don't adapt their environment through thought, planned interventions but through instinctive, automatical reactions to the environment conditions. The complexity to which such process happens is not even comparable to human's.
Human knowledge is cultural, not genetical, thus way faster to adapt to a shift of conditions. To think about it, other than a fairly large brain and rather precise hands, we're pretty much defenseless compared to other animals. Yet, we thrive in almost all environments of our planet, and we're the only species that actually ventured beyond its limit.
Our evolutionary history is one of unprecedented success, so don't count me in for going back to hunter/gatherers.
"IBC is purely a civilian count. IBC defines civilian to exclude Iraqi soldiers, insurgents, suicide bombers or any others directly engaged in war-related violence. A "min" and "max" figure are used where reports differ on the numbers killed, or where the civilian status of the dead is uncertain."
It's 100.000, not 10.000, and it's still a very conservative estimate of the casualties of the American wars in the last decade.
The notion that "many of those 100.000" supported the events of 9/11 is plain ridiculous, particularly if you consider the average demographics of the war casualties (unharmed civilians from underdeveloped countries). Also, I would like to remind you that collective punishment is banned by the Geneve Treaty.
Still, nowadays world is much less safe and stable than 10 years ago, and Americans got robbed of a much deserved peace dividend that would have turned the US into a prosperous peaceful country. But you got just another big skyscraper so Go America, I guess.

In that case, I suppose that speaking English is a major setback for Americans...

Except, statistic shows different data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

While I admit I was taken way too seriously by the following comments, I don't recall any "Padmé" in the only three Star Wars movies ever made. Ever.
Leave your sister alone, you perv.
Look! My anti-Muslim views are completely supported by all there anti-Muslim blogs! I MUST be right!
Oh come on now!
They have to prepare the public opinion for the next war somehow!
There's no link because the point is bogus. https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/adwords/select/TCUSbilling.html
Uhm no. Even the article clearly states that the main company that filed the complaint is Microsoft. You just failed on so many levels...
Two decades, and a World War.
Are you suggesting that ants purposedly board trans-oceanic cargo ships?
"and had probably been spread and maintained by human travel"

We still are, it's just the definition of "fit" has shifted since when we started creating the environment we live in.
Also, I personally don't miss the "good old times when we were all starving".
While I agree with your overall point, you shouldn't post when drunk.
Oh I see now.
Well, I guess it happens to make a fool of yourself when you're trying to express a certain depth of thought in a foreign language.
Also, that's a particularly nasty kind of typo, as it totally reverse the meaning of the sentence.
That would be making everybody's life too easy, don't you think?

104.594 to 114.260 civilian deads in Iraq only.

Then don't count me as part of humanity, thanks.
ISPs here in Italy already block TPB since a year at least, but did it so sloppily that a simple DNS change works around it.
