You'd have to be a complete idiot for thinking there are such things as "suspicious packages" in this world.
and
Terror, whom we've been battling against for about 5 years.
Spoken like a true idiot. I lived in London, UK, for 20 years. Not only were there suspicious packages, but there were suspicious packages that were bombs, and suspicious packages that were bombs that also exploded. A couple I even heard go *boom*, and one slightly injured a colleague of mine on his way to work.
So yeah, there are such things as suspicious packages, and no, we've been battling terrorism for long while before 11th September 2001.
Internet voting is like nuclear power. There are huge advantages...
Completely and utterly different. I challenge you to name just one huge advantage.
Getting results immediately is not a huge advantage, and I see no other advantage over the current way Britain votes.
If the polls close at 10pm it may be possible to get a result at 10.01pm using electronic voting, but are you so desperate for instant gratification that you'd give up the security of a human vote count?
The current way votes are counted is inherently transparent - many General Election constituency counts are televised, and witnessed by the candidates in all cases anyway. All completely above board to the satisfaction of all involved, which certainly cannot be said of electronic voting.
But I've already "not watched" the episodes in question, so given that I cannot go back in time and have my viewing of the episodes counted, then from an advertising income perspective whether I watch it later or whether I not watch it at all is moot, isn't it?
OK, this is about the dozenth time I have seen that spelling on slashdot today. Are you actually the same person with multiple accounts, or is there some grassroots movement that I am unaware of to change the spelling of ridiculous?
Yeah but he has it the wrong way round. He should have said : "So let's say it takes a million million tons of some super fuel to get your space ark up to speed. Wouldn't it take a million tons to park it again?"
There'd be less mass to decelerate - considerably more mass to accelerate.
There's an opening scene to an episode of Corner Gas, where Hank makes the point that anyone over the age of 30 refers to their height in feet and inches, regardless of the fact that they refer to everything else in metric. To prove his point he asks Brent, who obliges and indeed proves his point. So he continues and asks the diminutive Wanda - who gets prickly about her height and storms off, causing Brent to quip "now ask her if she's over 30".
P.E.I. has four electoral districts, each representing an average of 33,824 voters (the average in Ontario is one MP for every 107,642 voters). Logically, Canada's smallest province should have fewer ridings, perhaps only two, but because of a 1915 senatorial clause added to the boundary changing formula, P.E.I. was guaranteed that it will never have fewer MPs than it does Senators. So to this day, P.E.I. has four Senate seats, which were granted at its entry into Confederation under the terms of the British North America Act, and four federal ridings.
Riding redistribution must by law take place every 10 years, adjusting the federal electoral districts to reflect population changes. All provinces are guaranteed that their number of federal seats will not decrease, even if their proportion of the Canadian population shrinks dramatically. So the number of seats is bound to keep going up in the absence of dramatic changes to the way we elect a government (through bringing in some form of proportional representation, for example).
More likely they have 50MB on the Exchange server, and a gig-or-more.pst or three/four/five that sit on a file server (or even locally and get backed up to the file server...)
I support the legal team for a top-ten-global-company, and that's standard practice. 50MB on Exchange, the rest in personal folders.
Experience has shown that the police does not give a rat's ass when it comes to civil liberties. And why should they? It's not their job - their job is to enforce the law.
It is only a matter of time before the police will block sites they disagree with that has nothing to do with child pr0n... You really think so? Or do you mean the legislators rather than the police? The police do what they are told - laws are passed by the three levels government, so if you have a beef, sounds like it should with them, not the police.

Solution: no tax breaks related to your marital status.
How easy was that?
The way it seems to me is that he wouldn't have had death threats from a Catholic priest for saying something similar.

I guess if the Constitution is as perfect as you make out, there'd be no need to amend it at all.
Good job your Constitution has no amendments to it then.
Phew! Dodged a bullet there!!

Alas I forsee a market for "Congratulations on being sued for copyright violations!" cards.

If you install the CSI plugin, it approaches infinity.

All such footage is subject to the Data Protection Act, so yes, you have rights to access any of it if you so wish.
No it doesn't.

Yeah, but last time I checked they only take Discover. Kinda sucks, but anyone know how else to add credit, short of mailing in a wad of ruble bills??
*sigh*
It's not East/West in either hemispehere, It's Clockwise/Counterclockwise. Which means that for every Easterly, you have a Westerly.
I hope you were joking, but judging by other serious comments saying pretty much the same thing, I'm doubtful.
But all these huge skyscrapers that block winds - they're OK, right?
You bastard! You just leaked the next Doctor Who story!
... the attic has 30 to 45 Cm of insulation
... thermostat is set at 62F
Mix and match Metric/Imperial. I have to wonder, do you work for NASA?

You cannot argue with logic.
My wife would disagree.
