The deaths will be in the tens or even hundreds of thousands. You'll see. A tsunami is the absolute worst kind of natural disaster, and to add insult to injury it's salt water so all of that arable land is now useless for years to come.
There's a LIE that there are no atheists in foxholes.
Fixed that for you. It's just like the rest of the crap spewed by religious nuts - made up. I am an atheist, I have faced death, I have actually been clinically dead and was revived after a couple minutes, and I am STILL an atheist.
This is the same God that decided to create a massive earthquake and tsunami in the first place, right? You can't believe in an omnipotent being and then absolve him of responsibility for a disaster like this, or on the other hand you can't expect him to have mercy for people he has obviously decided to kill. Of course if you were sane, you'd realize that religion is just a form of mind control to prevent the poor from murdering the rich.
There's more of the same footage available on liveleak - when they zoom out it looks like he was trapped on a peninsula between a river and the wave. I don't think he did...
I might boast that, during all this scene of horror, not a sigh, or expression of fear, escaped me, had not my support been grounded in that miserable, though mighty, consolation, that all mankind were involved in the same calamity, and that I was perishing with the world itself.

It _IS_ a wave, only with a huge wavelength (usually in the km scale). So it *looks* like a flood, but it's really a series of waves with clear peaks and troughs.
If it's potentially dangerous, how can safety be over-engineered? Or on the other hand, if it's not dangerous at all, why even bother raising the issue?
But shielding adds weight which means increased fuel costs for the operator. This is they typical aviation scenario: until a plane is downed and people die, they'll take the cheap option and pretend that potential problems can't be avoided by proper engineering. It's cheaper to tell people to turn off their devices, cross fingers and pray that everyone complies and nothing happens.
IANAL but no, the Yes/No does NOT guarantee the reading of the message. However what it DOES do is make you look like a fool in court if you ever dispute the issue.
Judge: did you read the warning?
Plaintiff: No
Judge: But you clicked "Yes you had read the warning"
Plaintiff: Yes
Judge: So you are in the habit of clicking Yes to everything without reading what you are agreeing to? OK, click yes here: case dismissed.
But you have to understand the psychological aspect. I mean if you had paid twice as much for a brand and a look, found out that for your money you weren't getting much else, and watched the software you thought unhackable fail so miserably when you thought you were paying for security, you would be in denial too and rush to their defense. It's not Apple he is defending, it's his own feeling of foolishness that he's trying to cover up.

There have been more than that. Look here - it's impressive the aftershocks that are above 6. Anything above 6 can trigger another tsunami.
Yeah, the US has to prepare for frequent things like hurricanes, etc. Oh wait...

The present is ending all the time.

(though I expect a dupe next week)
It's called an aftershock... :P

Everyone understood except you, apparently.
All you need to do is drop some skin flakes on the London underground and next you know you could be a suspect in a murder case.
Er no, all you need to do is hire a competent defense attorney.
Because human females collectively didn't like it for whatever reason, and selected against it. Nothing more, nothing less. Evolution in action.
That introduces a creep factor that no amount of programming or human emulation can ever fix.
Creepier than being inappropriately touched by your priest, pastor or doctor? Presumably robots have not yet evolved sexual desires and fantasies.
The future is coming soon?
They then abandon the death star, and blow it up with the rebels inside? Seems a bit of an expensive way of dealing with the problem.
I have heard it once, a few years ago. I forget which airline, but I usually fly American or Continental.

I feel a disturbance in the Force, as if a million Apple users suddenly cried out in terror, and were pwn3d.

Explicit. That means exactly that you can NOT bury it anywhere, it has to be right there with a Yes/No BEFORE the cookie is installed.
Gee, it's too bad that nothing can be done with steam. /sarcasm
Do people still actually buy HP computers?
