They probably don't really know. It's probably anyone in the UK or US with a security clearance or who works on the system as an engineer. And what they are doing with it? Who knows? It certainly seems like the politicians don't care, they only care about fake protections against terrorism.
This is mainly a way for tax money to flow into the pockets of people who are already very rich.
Foreign companies are treated very well, governments want the extra jobs.
Why do foreign companies need more/better rights than nationals?
Defenders will say this is false, but it's what TTIP will lead to, like what other similar trade agreements have lead to.
In response to the prediction that EU consumer and environmental protection would suffer because of TTIP, officials promised this would not happen. Of course without any argumentation or backing, and now we see the result. TTIP is already having an effect and it will get much worse when the agreement is enforced.
You call Mother Theresa a force for good? Her houses of the dying didn't provide painkillers or any other medication to the ones suffering from diseases, even when they could easily be cured. She was a friend of poverty, her dogmatic belief that contraception is evil kept massive amounts of people in poverty.
Sometimes government take the risk for experimenting with new technology. You don't always want to wait for investors to come up with the money. Especially when you're going to be drilling holes in people's land, it's good to have government support.
They should also be made to pay taxes, like real people do. Btw Apple recently claimed the biggest profit in history and said they paid a hefty sum of taxes over that, we're talking 26,3% here.
Now just get rid of the tax-exempt status of all the other religions. Except of course for the charity work they do, for which they will have to make their finances public, like the real charities have to.
"The dark matter is currently 5000 light-years (50 000 million million kilometers) behind the galaxy"
"it would take NASA’s Voyager spacecraft 90 million years to travel that far."
So where it takes light 5000 years to travel a distance, the Voyager would take only 90 years
That means Voyager speed is: 5000 / 90 * lightspeed = warp 55.5!
I smell a typo? Maybe the dark matter is behind 5 light years?
Not limited by any first-hand knowledge on the subject:
It seems to me quality of education in the US has suffered from religious interference. First by people believing in that which goes against good evidence, then by undermining science education with nonsense like creationism/intelligent design.
Maybe it's the US culture where a career as a maker is discouraged
Maybe it's the religion interfering with real education and being indoctrinated to accept unsupported claims (like one that a god exists) leaves you less capable of doing evidence based work.
It seems the US has always had much more and worse bullying than other countries, phones and internet are not the root cause of this problem.
Seems to me the underlying cause is religion.
It claims to provide absolute morality, while the morality of the abrahamic god is horrible.
It claims there is an eternal afterlife, logically that means this life is irrelevant.
In order to keep existing in the face of scientific developments, it promotes gullibility and portrays seeking knowledge as a sin.
And all of this while there is plenty of morality without religion, it has even been shown that life is shittier the more religious people are. http://www.skeptic.com/reading.... That does not mean religion makes things worse, but it does mean that religion does not make things better.

Not only is it more ergonomic than most keyboards, it's mechanical and a huge improvement in typing.
Sure it takes a few hours to get used to, but like with languages, learning your second one is much easier than your first and does not reduce your ability to use the first.
It finally gets rid of the backward and stupid staggering of keys, that was needed 70 years ago, do you still live in that time? Or in the future?
It allows the mouse to stay much closer, which is great for gaming and the main reason I got it.

I hope that's the next target to be considered malware. Probably not by Microsoft (as it serves their needs) but hopefully by an anti-virus company.
Yea this totally proves it's not only possible, they've been doing it for years!

"or special needs"
So kids with down syndrome should be just as capable?
Are those kids in a different group or is this plan very ambitious?
Another reason to get rid of DMCA alltogether.

Because the USA is also very religious. Faith and beliefs motivate good people to do bad things.

Sorry everyone, I missed the million after the 90...
Is there a way to edit/delete my own posts?

Are there any pictures of these stone flakes?
Countries should simply demand that taxes on money that's earned in their country is paid in their country, instead of anywhere else.

I don't have a car or drivers licence and would like to avoid learning to drive if I can.
I hate french just like you, but the normal language used in Qubec is french.

8 dollar to not wait one hour extra? Wow, that's a huge difference.
And I will harshly persecute anyone who dares to break that secrecy.
