I'd pick the US. A good friend of mine ran into all the bullshit you state by the court. It lasted about six months. Is the US system perfect? Hell no. But it's certainly a hell of a lot better than Saudi, especially considering the comparative male/female ratios of such countries.
I'm no expert, but it would appear that the surprise is, in fact, that some of these larger specimens actually survived. It's been known for some time that primates diverged about 69 million years ago, for example, and it seems that more orders are being added to the list.
Took next to no time at all on any of my machines in Firefox. One is modern, three would have been considered top of the line about six years ago. If it's slow in your browser, either
1: Your browser does not prerender (ie. IE) - though rendering was pretty instantaneous in IE6 for me too. 2: Something is wrong with your machine 3: You should consider looking into the purchase of a new machine if you are obviously so anal about a registration scheme that you will go through -once- taking a few extra seconds.
The only situation in which the photons can never catch up, is if they pass the event horizon of a black hole;)
Incorrect. There are other horizons, such as Rindler horizons (caused by acceleration), and the cosmic horizon of the Universe itself some 13.7 gly away - where the expansion of space is such that it exceeds the speed of light.
I've had... one sorta crash so far - the tab locked up and I was forced to close the tab, on a page loading a messy java applet.
Otherwise, I've been running the same instance of Firefox since 2.0 was released. There is some leaklike behavior, but for the most part, as I close and reopen tabs a lot... right now I'm only using ~160 mb. Probably more than it should, but it's not nearly as bad as I saw previous releases get, so I'm assuming there has been some improvement in this area.
There are very few free protons or free electrons, and no free neutrons (half-life of about 15 minutes before it turns into hydrogen) - nearly all interstellar matter is composed of hydrogen and helium. Beyond which, by your theory they would be generating an absolutely massive electromagnetic charge.
Beyond that, though, it's estimated that about half of baryonic matter is invisible for various reasons - thus, the Universe appears to be composed of 2% luminous baryonic matter, 2% invisible baryonic matter, 23% dark matter and 73% (and increasing) dark energy.
Ditto. Spyweeper has broken several of my customer's machines during abortive attempts at removing Spyware. That's not a particularly healthy means of 'fixing' Spyware problems.
Damn, you'd think Exalted 2nd edition, the second most popular fantasy TRPG ever, and the return of Shadowrun (which also has routine sales a significant fraction of D&D's) would merit more news than a GURPS supplement or even most D&D supplements.
Let me know which school you went to and I'll be sure to not hire anyone from there without testing them heavily first. Don't generalize your experience at one bad school to the entire higher education system.
I'm aware of this type of phenomenon occurring at just about every major, otherwise reputable school. If anything you would measure its quality by the number of students that got away with it.
The flood is pretty widely accepted. Every culture dating back to then (and conveniently located in the middle east/N Africa/Mediteranian) has its own flood myths, and the geologic record supports it. There probably was a huge flood that flooded the whole region at one point, but there probably wasn't a drunk with a boat and 2 of every animal.
The flooding of the Marmara sea and the Babylonian flood circa ~2,200 B.C.E. are fairly well-known, along with a number of other floods in the region. Some of these flood myths, such as the Turkish one, actually recalls the specific flood itself.
There is some evidence, though disputed, of extensive flooding about ten thousand years ago, during the end of the last ice age, that wiped out an extant bronze-age civilization. I don't put a whole lot of stock in it, though it is a nice fancy.
Well, our orbit is exceedingly circular, which does not seem to be the case for most neighboring stars. We are, in part, protected from the galactic core's radiation by a massive dust cloud, and distance. It's not just ambient radiation, either, but also tolerating various directed bursts from around the core.
They didn't intend any sort of innuendo there. "Intellictually Curious"?...reminds me of that "Most females are secretly bicurious." study a couple years ago.
I'm sure your completely unfounded assumptions are much more accurate than a judge and jury.
Plea bargain mean nothing to you. The man is a parapalegic, for crying out loud, though I'm sure the jury would have been quite positively swayed by his appearance. I mean, just look at how innocent that face is...
Currently, there are over half a million registered sex offenders in the United States. This is an increasingly suspicious statistic - half a million out of some 100 million adult men that can legally be charged for it (yes, there are female sex offenders, but they are the minority), where, at least in California (not the state he was convicted in, I know), 97% of trials end up in a conviction - rather higher than other types of crime.
allegedly groped? Umm he was convicted of the crime in a criminal court hence he is a sex offender. So you're saying it is inappropriate to make fun of a convicted sexual offenders?
Given the 'guilty until proven innocent' nature of sex offense charges these days, I would give Brian Peppers the benefit of the doubt, here.
Those who run corporate IT departments have no interest at all in a new OS, not while their various lockdown tools won't work on it. Consumers, by and large, don't give a damn because a) most don't understand what an operating system is and b) most haven't heard of Vista.
Several of my clients have asked about Vista. Well, not by name, usually - but many of my customers are fully aware that Microsoft puts out new versions of its OSes and are vaguely awre that the next is in development.

A place a relative of mine worked at had spent loads for this 'backup' software.
It came with no recovery features. It would 'back things up', but there was no actual process for recovering said data.
Don't know about you, but several of my customers have dropped Quest T1 lines for Cable -due to- reliability issues.
How far into the cycle are we now?
The K-T extinction event occurred about 65.5 mya so, from all appearances, we're in it.

For awhile I'd think that the esteemed editors of Slashdot would have caught this hoax, but then... well...
Which you'll find out when you beat the OC. It just murders framerate hard.
He's just renamed 'undefined' 'nullity' as if it's some sort of new concept highschool math geeks haven't thoroughly discussed.
You call 8 a part of the glory days and expect to be taken seriously? And don't mention 6?
And the series has seen some truly abysmal runs. The Japanese version of 2 comes to mind (for the NES). Somehow, I doubt FFXII is -that- bad.

Maybe, or maybe I remembered the discussion of said article a bit too much.
Well, same problem, I guess.

Someone needs to add this to the eel catfish [wikipedia.org] article on Wikipedia. It's a little lacking.
So umm, why don't you?
