As far as I can tell EU countries can not offer asylum as they have agreed to extradition treaties with the US. And unlike the US they do not break their treaty obligations at the drop of a hat. But mostly they don't want to get involved at the level of a single person. They will at trade negotiations of course.
Britain is still trying to figure out what to do with JA and he is wanted on criminal offences in the EEC not just breaching the US equivalent of the "Official Secrets Act"
The brits do it because they can as the majority of high speed transatlantic links land in the UK. Some go direct to France, Germany, Spain etc. but most hit the UK first. And they have always been nosey buggers.
PNR's are not really the problem as, in part, they tend to be distributed internationally anyway as airlines need to know what seats they have available. Minimum case is which seats are taken. More often flight #, date, who is in what seat and passport # / food preference (required for multi leg flights)
America requires Advance Passenger Information which requires even visa exempt travellers to effectively apply for a visa 48 or so hours before their flight. The amount of information far exceeds a normal PNR although most of it is attached to the PNR. This is after the first round of restrictions that required the PNR's to be sent before take off.
It would likely be in one of intels older fabs at 28nm. Intel does need to fill up those lines as it moves to 20nm. Although I am making a lot of assumptions about weather Intel would do it at all as they have, as far as I know, never acted as a foundry for other companies. Although they do sell off older fabs/equipment to companies like Maxim Integrated I think (although they are many process sizes behind ).
Shopping around the world may help. The free market is what has got most insurance in the states (and to a certain degree internationally) into the state it is in where lots of insurance companies are owned by, and little more than brand names, for a few very large companies.
In the past few years HCPs have been on a splurge of mergers and aquisitions.
I have seen a lot of post talking about allowing interstate shopping for insurance. Have you looked at who owns most of the "Health Care Providers" in the US? There may appear to be lots of HCP's around but they are mostly owned by very few companies (who incidentally own many of the hospitals)
So I don't think the ability to shop for insurance in another state is going to help a huge amount.
Pocket watches lost favour when people stopped wearin waist coats with pockets to put such a watch in. As far as I am aware arms have not gone out of fashion.
Text books should last decades without being updated. It not as though the stuff being tought in highschool changes every year. Changes can be incorporated as addenum if needed at all
This partly derives from the 5th. If the prosecutor were to call you to testify the first thing you would do is take the 5th and they could not ask you any more questions. So it becomes a moot point that if you refuse to testify on your own behalf (as a defence witness) the prosecution can not force you too (so it has been formalised to simplify court proceedings and avoid mistakes by the defendant)
Depends on how deep you want to get into it. A cheap logic analyser and get that soldering iron prepared plus lots of bits and random software from micrcontroller manufatures. Or you could just buy one
Most guns are designed to be able to be used to more effectively kill. Others exist but they are in the minatory. (and still allowed even in countries such as the UK that have very strict laws against purchasing guns)
If you have served in any military then you know that guns do kill. That is their purpose. That is why they exist. For good or bad is not the question. You have probably seen the outcome of that.
Are guns designed to kill?
How many armed random people do you want around your neighbourhood?
I am not a soldier. Never have been and never will be hopefully.
Nobody bows to the queen unless they want to. Well if you are getting a knighted you do have to kneel. But at that point she does have a sword (UK and most of the commonwealth). I am not a royalist. I have no problem with a ceremonial head of state.
It is sort of like Canada or Australia that have British Governors. They have no power but are representatives of the queen. In theory they have power but in reality they do not. Sort of a good way to run things.
By the way the queen in England does have a huge amount of power to dismiss the government and do what she likes but she can not do so. She has to sign every law passed by parliament. She can refuse to do so but that has not been done for over three hundred years. So here we have the commons, lords, and monarch. In the US you have the Senate, Reps and president.
Now turn that around and ask why would they try for private funding and loss of equity when the public funds were available at better rates. In this case winning or losing was more about gross markets then invention or ingenuity. Perhaps they are a bad example but it is not as simple as let the market sort it out as this is a global market and your american (I think) ideas of the market are not the same as anyone else's. In this case China.
In the UK. A colleague got stopped for DUI on his way in to work. Yep the next morning. A very large fine and a requirement to go to school to learn how to drive! But generally you will have your license revoked.
Longbows could out-range muskets. Early rifles could just about match longbows for range and accuracy. However the bows could be fired far faster than any muzzle loaded gun. The downside is that arrows are expensive to make and it takes a lot (I mean a really lot) of time to train an archer. Not so much someone to fire a musket.
That was what I was thinking. Currently you have available: a) A Phalanx Centurion C-RAM (land based version) which can possibly hit something up to 4km away but generally much closer and sprays god knows what downrange (if that is a town then....) Costs a lot but firing is fairly cheap iff you can keep it supplied. And whatever you hit still fragments and rains down on the original target.
b) A short range anti-missile missile system. Something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome Far longer range up to 70km aparently. The cost is hundreds of thousands of dollars per firing and the detritus of both missiles rain down somewhere.
Both are used against fairly short range ballistic projectiles (shells, mortars, unguided missiles).
This approach has the advantage of being cheap to fire and only have the remains of the target raining down on you. And lower supply requirements.
Just to clear that up. England, Northan Ireland and Scotland are countries. Wales is not. Wales is a Principality. The Isle of Mann and the channel Isles are I think protectorates. They are all part of the the UK. The falklands and caymans et. al are crown colonies. Jamaica, Canada, Australia, and many more (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_realm) became part of the commonwealth. Hence they still have a queen and still have the union flag as part of thier own

I'll correct my self. Intel Custom Foudry ... They do make chips, even ARM chips, for other people.

Landlords tend to require standing orders to be set up.

The BBC is not owned by the government. It has a Royal Charter and a Licence and Agreement from the Home Secretary. Parliament set the license fee.

Change that as it is not correct.

A slightly different question. How many people do you trust to handle a firearm safely?
Not the GP,
If you have served in any military then you know that guns do kill. That is their purpose. That is why they exist. For good or bad is not the question. You have probably seen the outcome of that.

Yep it would. However it is heavy and the out gassing would change where the thing is going unless it is still able to move.

Philip can never be King. Just as the queen mum could never be queen (King George VI was her hubby) :P
The line runs to her sons. Charlie
That may skip a generation a go to her grand kids (or Charles brother)
