If you are transmitting images the production of which violated someone else's human rights, is that acceptable?
Free communication includes the transmission of state secrets, disclosure of state security vulnerabilities etc. All societies need protection against that. By your reasoning, all societies should be destroyed and replaced as soon as possible.
If the single large mass was broken into many small pieces, could a further blast in the centre of the cluster give them sideways velocity more easily than pushing the original rock?
I don't read the Observer, as I agree with you that it embellishes stories to create better headlines. In contrast though, its sister paper, The Guardian, really does try to keep the record straight. They have a 'corrections and clarifications' column where they correct any wrong assertion that they print, however minor. They also have a reader's editor. His job is to investigate complaints and queries from the readers and publish his findings in a monthly column.
Yes, but the CO2 you breathe is part of the Carbon Cycle, it would have been recently fixed from the atmosphere by plants. The problem with fossil fuels is that burning them increases the total amount of carbon in circulation, and thus the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Terrorists and freedom fighters seem to mostly exist where there is civil war. Civil wars generally involve both sides attacking civilians, burning villages etc. It's a dirty business, and words like 'terrorist' and 'freedom fighter' are just conveniences, nothing more.
The meaning does not exist without someone to perceive it, the words are just the carrier. So, changing one of the words does make a difference to the meaning.
Perhaps the full version should be something like "The interjection makes a lot of difference to the meaning I perceived in that sentence.", but that's too unwieldy.

Could you just join an existing union without telling your employer? Then, if you were unfairly fired, injured at work or otherwise in conflict with your employer, the union would be there to provide legal representation.
Presumably you are not the manufacturers of my cable box. It's doing well if it hasn't crashed in the last week.

I agree that those type of emails are spamlike when people start forwarding them to everyone in their address book. Perhaps I should have used better language, I sent a company wide email warning people of the risk. I'm a small time admin for a small firm, 20 employees, so they know me and hopefully listen to my advice.
Poorer people are pretty badly off. Unemployment is huge and underemployment is horrible. In the Thaura or Seven Palaces neighborhoods, people are lucky to make a buck a day and wouldn't be able to live without the monthly government food ration.

I saw the alert last weekend, and sent a global email warning everyone about it first thing on Monday. Two people (out of 15) clicked on the attachment on Tuesday, thankfully it was stopped by our antivirus software.
Part of the problem is that the mail appears to come from their regular contacts, so they think it must be safe. Another problem is that they are busy doing their own jobs, virus alerts just get forgotten in the rush.
Good to see they've got their priorities right. Their search tool only brought up one other reference to Iraq, concerning assessment of bomb damage last May.
That's an interesting article, thanks for the link. However, in the politics section, it says that Wales has been a principality since the 13th century. Still, a country isn't necessarily a political entity and North Wales is one of my favourite places for a weekend's camping. Very different to sunny Warrington where I'm holed up most of the time.
Those who love their work tend to be better at their job than those who just do the 9-5 and forget about it later. I would expect any politician to have a general interest in current events, including reading the news in their spare time.

I'm sure it's as easy to write a broken PHP script as it is to write a broken ASP script.

You're telling me we got burned, ever touched a Cyrix 686?

The distinction lies in whether they are allied with the one making the label.
So? Any organisation can be infiltrated by extremists. Many groups of all shades will have extremist members.
Interesting post but man, are you on speed or something? That's one hell of a detailed story.

With the added bonus that you might screw up, and get to see your new Red Screen Of Death every couple of minutes :)

Sorry, I always sound like a pompous git when I post on here. Slashdot brings out the argumentative sod in me :-)

Your logic isn't as fuzzy as Darl's. What the hell is about 20% of 15? 2.9 companies? 3.2 companies? He sounds like a bloody politician.

Got to pull you up on this, Wales is a principality.

Nasty, and raises the spectre of people in microgravity throwing up and having the squirts. I'd want to remain suited for the duration just in case.
