Were you similarly confused to find a phone with a "Send" button appear after decades of landline usage? If so, I'm sure you could find another human being who could explain it to you. Same goes for the password issue, or captchas, or touchscreens, or any of the many other interface changes that have appeared over the years.
If we stopped emitting it, the problem would go away faster than the problem of CO2 forcing if we stopped emitting it, but that doesn't change the fact that it still is causing problems as long as we keep emitting it.
That's three and three. Do I hear four? Four "emittings" and four "problems" in one sentence?
Maybe so, but then just say "medical problems," instead of spreading misinformation (aka lying) about the extent of his health issues by saying it was a "hormonal imbalance." Unless he really didn't know, which is something we'll probably never know.
At any rate, there are different SEC disclosure rules for executives than for employees. Ultimately, if an employee is having a performance problem that could affect the company, it is the CEO's responsibility to correct that problem. That authority can and typically is delegated to management, but the responsibility cannot be delegated; it is incumbent upon the position of CEO. Therefore, it is always more important to know details about the CEO than any particular employee.
This was yesterday's news, and generally agreed to be a snow job by the WSJ. These companies sold network equipment. The same equipment that is probably allowing information to seep out of Iran. Please mod down this blatant hijacking, especially in light of the fact that it already has its own topic.
Not to be an ass, but there's absolutely zero evidence to back up that story, and it has all the hallmarks of an urban legend. Most notable is the mixing of the innocent (plastic keys, children) with the taboo (clearing landmines by stepping on them). There are also claims that it is false. Meanwhile, there are no pictures, videos, firsthand accounts, receipts for plastic keys, or anything that would substantiate the story. Additionally, it should be noted that in any event the "children" are undisputedly over the age of 12, so we're not talking about elementary school aged kids that typically come to mind with the use of the word "children," but rather an age group that has traditionally been considered as adults up until (relatively) recently. A more accurate term would be simply "teenagers".
Lots of stories get repeated as being true without being confirmed in the slightest, especially sensational stories, and this seems to be one of those cases.
Right, but the extreme is NOT the logical conclusion. Companies can't sell nuclear weapons to *anybody* AND there is currently no legitimate use for a nuclear weapon, therefore it's outside the scope of this discussion.
Who is this "we"? You, and unspecified people you want to include yourself with? Popular, powerful people, no doubt, as they apparently had, and opted to waive, the power to make war.
Need "we" be reminded that one of the worst wars in recent history was perpetrated by a man who wanted nothing to do with religion?
More wars have been started in the name of religion, not because religion itself leads to war, but because most *people* in the world are religious, and *people*, as a whole, are combative and power-seeking creatures.
You can hold a laptop in your lap while you're kicking back on the couch. Or a smartphone. Or a Kindle thingy. Although from the name, I assume you're supposed to burn after reading.
<officespace>Um, yeah...</officespace> 300 is almost the antithesis of HD, since the film is intentionally grainy.
And the particular effect you're describing was intentional as well, since the movie was emulating the graphic novel. Notice that almost every object is outlined with the opposite shade of the background to make it "pop," or stand out. In some places you'll notice that the object crosses over dark and light backgrounds, and the outline likewise shifts appropriately.
As for the story, considering that it's a fairly accurate version of the Battle of Thermopylae, I thought it was quite an impressive tale.
Well, to be fair, wrong is wrong. Guantanamo might not be "as wrong" as Auschwitz, but it's still wrong, and pointing out worse crimes doesn't lessen the culpability.
That said, yeah, if we wait for someone without sin to cast stones, we'll be waiting a long time. Just because we've made mistakes doesn't mean we have to ignore injustice when we see it. On the contrary, we should condemn the actions of Iran just as we condemn detentions in Guantanamo, the use of atomic weapons, slavery, or anything else we've fucked up.
I live near Miami. I remember once telling my cousins in the UK that I really enjoyed Florida. They responded to the effect, "How can you live in Miami? Don't you worry about the assault rifle wielding drug dealing, ganster thug rapists?"
Did you then clarify that near Miami is not in Miami?
Reminds me of the kids in NoVa.. "Yo dawg, we live in the Murder Capital of the World. This shit be hardcore!"

It may be half the cost of a launch to convert, but what will it save in the long run? Using English measurements (or at least the relevant miscommunication) has already cost an entire mission. Better to just get it over with than pay for the continuous QA of double checking specifications, conversions, etc..
My cows drink copious amounts of soda so that the CO2 displaces the methane. Problem solved.

No thanks.

Network servers are not guns. Seriously, if you want to discuss this, read the comments from the actual FA.

All of the people you mentioned were also religious.
Also, insane people deserve technology at least as much as anyone else.. and probably need it more.

I think most people have already done that, which is probably why it appears they're beginning to abandon their retarded proprietary formats.
Actually, some of their formats are quite good.. it's just that they try to rule them with an iron fist.

Oh, and itar-tass doesn't have any stories on Iran whatsoever.
So I'm not saying I agree with the paranoid guy, but you didn't really support your case, at all.
Sort of funny, since at least one of the sites you linked to is expressly telling the Iranian government's version of events:
http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90777/90854/6683862.html
*That* might not confirm it, but this pretty much does.

My BCGs have always been an excellent form of short-range defense, especially against girls and their yucky, yucky cooties.

Need to wait? There's an app for that.
