Okay, so the UK have CCTV cameras all over the country.
So does the US. Go to a mall. Drive on a highway. Park in a garage. All monitored by CCTV. The only difference between the US and the UK in this respect is that malls are much less common in the UK, and the major shopping areas tend to be in city centers and outside. So the cameras are public instead of private.
Actually, costs are totally seperate to the actual case. You can win your case, but fail to have costs awarded against the other side, or even loose your case and have the costs awarded to the other side.
It certainly won't perform as fast the single row model, but the disadvantages can be outweighted by the advantages of having the model presented to the user being quickly and easily changed without having to update the dataschema.
Well that depends on your database design. If I was designing a database to hold flexible information, I might not make a column for each possible field, because that would mean adding/deleting a column every time I changed the fields - a real pain. I might design it so that there is a table for the bugs, a table for the possible fields, and a table to join them with the fields.

How come no one is using Postscript directly outside of printer-related tasks?
Because it's an awful format. For example, if you have a document which is expecting to go to A4 sized paper, you can't print it on letter sized, and vice versa.
Credit card numbers are unique throughout the world. In other words, if you have a credit card issued by a British bank, you can be 100% sure that it does not have the same number as a credit card issued by an American bank. The way they ensure this is that the first 2-4 digits indicate the issuing authority.
I've only once ever worked on a medically important program, one which calculated the mixtures required for TPN (feeding someone through a drip). The output printed out all the inputs, and each formula used, with the values on both sides, so that the person running the program could check the calculations. One important factor is that the pharmacist is the responsible one. They cannot delegate the responsibilty to the program, and therefore they had to have the ability to check the program was performing correctly.
The US Government does not provide funding to terrorists.
Yes it does. The Contras being the best known examples. The US tends to act in short term goals, if the government of country X is one which the US currently opposes, then it will make short tatical actions, even if the long term results are bad. That's why Iraq became a problem, because they opposed Iran, and therefore must be the US's friends, right?
Yes, I saw it. An archive of their press releases/op ed pieces, with nothing newer than June 2000. I'd like it updating with what they think now, in September 2001.
This may be true in a conventional war, but there hasn't been a conventional war for over 50 years. Modern wars are guerrilla wars, where you make it politically impossible for the enemy to continue, usually by demoralization, not actual harm.
but how many OSS projects are organized as a cult on personality? Is this a failing of social order of OSS, or is it just a failing of leadership and administration?
I'd argue the opposite. Successful projects, both open source and commerical, tend to be organized by a single person, or a very small team, with a definate goal. You can have hundreds of players as long as they all know who the leader is. If you have a very large committee running things, then the project will become bogged down with disputes over ownership, direction, and responsibilities. If you don't have a definate goal, then you'll end up deciding to re-invent wheels which are perfectly round, because they're not the right shade of blue.
Airlines usually replace their aircraft because a newer model fits better, is cheaper to run etc. The 757 has been a popular replacement for the 737. Where you will find the older planes still in service is where the isn't really a replacement - there isn't much point in selling a 30 year old 747 and buying a new one, unless you really want the differences between the 747-100 and the 747-400 (extended range & cabin capacity mainly), so you'll still find many older 747's in service. TWA flight 800 was a 747-131, and Pan Am 103 was a 747-121. The way that Boeing's codes go, the first digit in 121 identifies the series, and the last two identify the original customer, Pan Am's code is 21, and TWA's is 31, so both of these were still owned by their original airlines.
Are they really secret opcodes, or just a consequence of the design? Many chips do strange things on being presented illegal opcodes. The manufacturer wants to keep the behaviour undocumented on these illegal opcodes, so that in the future they can use these opcodes to do something useful, not just what they happen to do today.
Actually, you should give it less credence. It's a hoax. Details here, but in summary, there is no such institute, the IQ's listed are unreasonably high, and the method of estimating IQ would be very dodgy. They don't mention that IQ isn't a very useful indicator of anything except ability to do IQ tests.
It's no different to any other plane of it's era, compare it with say a 747-100. No airline in the world can afford to replace the entire cockpit and get it certified as flight ready. The miltary can afford the costs of major refits, so that's why the very expensive refit of the B52's included a new cockpit.
SF and Mystery are two non-exclusive characteristics. You can have almost any combination of SF and other genre, for example SF & Mystery such as above, SF & Comedy, SF & Romance, SF & Thriller, even SF & historical.
Several european countries have restrictions on what you can call kids. I suspect that Zowie Bowie, Heavenly Hirrani Tigerlily, and other kids with silly names probably would appreciate it. BTW, Zowie Bowie now prefers to be called Joe.
However, multicasting requires cooperation from all the routers between the source and the target audicence, so it doesn't generally work too well over today's internet.
I would have thought that they'd be using the tether technique, where the entire capsule is spun on a tether with a counterweight on the other end. This allows a much slower spin rate.

Every library that exists originally had only one implementation, so does the program magically change when someone reimplements it? I don't think so.
Actually that's a Leonard Cohen song, though it's been covered by many different artists.

If this wasn't "Stuff that Matters" I don't know what is.

Seimens is a German company, so the EU had a big say in a merger. Both HP & Compaq are American companies, so they'll have much less of a say.

What's the CPT's position on Microsoft's dominance in the desktop market, attempts to obtain the same in the server market, and the trial?

I probably use about 1% of the features of a typical WP. Which is why I usually use vi to edit HTML documents for my WP needs. Fast, and portable.
