Knowingly putting yourself in a situation where your "normal" liberties must be compromised is your choice. You're welcome to take a bus, train, car or boat to your destination instead.
And the TSA is welcome to go fuck off. They don't get to decide which liberties people must voluntarily compromise in order to fly, or at least that's not how it's supposed to work.
The idea that anything that's not a fundamental human right can be taken away on the whim of any random government bureaucracy is, bizarre, to say the least.
The TSA doesn't "own" flying. They are proposing measures that are invasive and fundamentally ineffective, and we're supposed to have a say in whether or not we want that.
(I'm not actually a fan of the/tags,/branches layout, I keep copies at the same level as/trunk).
Personally I almost never use switch, seems a lot easier to just keep separate projects for branches, but we're a small team, I can see how it might matter more for others. And tagging is just not that big a deal in Subversion, the global revision numbers work better for most purposes CVS tags are used for (and no, you don't memorize them, hence the 'most'). Never mind that CVS has to touch every file in your tree to tag or branch.
I do agree that a feature to 'lock' read-only copies would've been nice, but it can be added with a one-line commit script, if you really care. Hell, it's about as much work to write a script to figure out your tag URL based on the current working copy.
So, yes, I stand corrected: this is one area where the Subversion approach is better and it doesn't make sense to force it act exactly like CVS.
But does it work for them? If so, great! Why switch to something else if you have no real need for all those features?
It's not just about features, CVS is deeply broken (tagging/branching, directories, binary files, metadata, etc). Subversion is a drop-in replacement that fixes (most) of the problems and can be used in exactly the same workflow. The two are equivalent and one is less broken - it's kind of a no-brainer.
I know no one actually cares, but the Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Virgin Mary, which was accomplished through the usual means, but was free of Original Sin. It is not the virgin birth of Jesus.
Am I the only one with serious case of Oracle-vs-Free-Software drama fatigue? At a certain point I stopped caring about the projects and languages I used to think I cared about, and kinda wished that somebody would just give me an executive summary in a few months (eg "Java's dead, we're all back to using COBOL now"), so I can just get back to work.
Also, are full-blown office suites all that relevant anymore? Aren't the only places that still heavily rely on those the same ones that will never (ever) migrate away from MS Office 2000?
This shared state means that a change applied to one entangled object is instantly reflected by its correlated fellows - hence the massive parallel potential of a quantum computer.
Unless I missed some major recent development, modifying an entangled particle and "instantly" observing the effect on its correlated partner is precisely what you cannot do with an entangled pair. Gets into that whole pesky faster than light communication thing that makes causality not work.
Is he just conflating entanglement and quantum teleportation?
So he's spending 16 weeks in jail. At the end of those 16 weeks, can they ask him for the password again and throw him in jail again if he does not divulge it?
That's usually how contempt of court type things work (I don't know if that's the exact legal situation here, but the principal seems similar). Over here (in the US) they just jail you indefinitely until you comply.
I'm not up on my Canadian politics, but I would've thought the PM is the "de facto" head of state? While technically, the Queen is the actual head of state.
I would've thought the governor general position is purely ceremonial, hence the heavy emphasis on pointless bullshit like coats of arms.

Trains don't fall from the sky. ... There are almost never any accidents.
Planes are far safer than trains: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_safety#Statistics (note the "Deaths per billion passenger-km" table, it's the only one that's actually relevant).
Regardless of your age, sex, or other characteristics, the machines always produce a beverage almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
I suppose male pattern baldness and a deep, fatherly voice will get you "Earl Grey, hot."
So, why does the Windows phone warn Samsung when it permanently modifies a MicroSD card?
Wait, what? Who was defending anything?
Sadly, the problem is with islamism (and maybe with islam).
The problem is with theocratic governments, it doesn't matter in the least what the actual religion is.
Well, if the semantic web starts off
That's cute.
Well, they've got a sheet over it - I guess that's enough to keep the secret part secret?
Exactly! What happened to stories that are actually important? Like what the Queen of England does online?

What does Winamp have to do with Windows Vista?
So, the two possible atoms are Lithium-5 (-1) or Helium-5 (-2). Both Lithium-5 and Helium-5 are highly unstable.
Just means they had to take the picture really quickly.

But they also said color was gimmickry. So were moving pictures. And sound.
Did they actually? Or is that just something people like to say to seem clever?
Yeah, which makes it even WORSE for us because we have to wear those annoying glasses uncomfortably over the glasses we already have.
Get over it, six-eyes.
Are your 'y' and 'o' keys broken or something?
Also, don't give up reading the trilogy! It gets better and a lot of the pieces don't come together until the final book.
Hmm, I actually thought the third book was a huge let-down. I still love the trilogy (I mean "cycle") as a whole, though.
How are this strange places?
Well, let's see you try to squeeze an article out of this non-story!
RNA retroviruses, such as HIV.
Any RNA viruses really, not just retroviruses.
