Foreign terrorist are extremely rare in the USA. They can be counted in double digit at most out of 300 million people. In other word in less than 1 ppm. Pervert, rapist, governement abuser, and totalitarist drooling "what do you have to hide", more or less people which would be likely to abuse this system outnumber terrorist by many factor of magnitude.
The argument about "(...) YOUR DAUGHTER" is simply indicative that there are far far more reason to use this system against american citizens, far more oportunity for abuse, than there will be foreign terrorist attack on American soil. A figurative argument if you prefer.
"It is amazing how much the Republicans, and those same boomers, have shifted to the right." no it is no amazing. People as they age get to be more and more conservative and adverse to anything "new". An aging baby boomer population will automatically shift to the "right". Please note any way that the point is moot, because from my point of view (from EU) you have any way 2 party from the right, and nobody from what we call the left.
The machine we have at home shred the paper in fine line, throw it on a fire, it burns very VERY well. Maybe I should patent that : a portal incinerator connected to a shredder.
"And FYI, the French revolution came long after the American one."
It can be argued that 1776 and 1793 aren't that far remote from each otehr , especially in a time where news traveled by boat, horse and foot. Calling 17 years a very long time is quite interesting. Furthermore it is not arrogance to point out that what you think the US invented, was actually already existing centuries before. US folk were not spontaneously generated in north America. They came from other culture and their baggage.
Every time you see something in the sky you cannot identify it is an Unidentified Flying Object. The problem is that people jump to to the conclusion UFO=Alien star craft. It is not ! It just means what the word say : something was flying and was unidentified. I saw UFO, you probably saw UFO, we all did probably for all those which look up the sky, and lacks knowledge on what's flying up. Blimp were UFO'd , satellite, planet, weather phenomena , fiefly and other various insect etc....
You have to udnerstand that UFO *do* exists. UFO only means the person did not recognize what's up in the sky. That does not mean at all that there were *ever* alien craft visiting us : there is no evidence of that. But UFO do exists because none of us have pefect sight and perfect knowledge.
Speed limitation back in France is not only due to the road type but the environment too. For example going from Paris to Compiegne there are slices of 2*2 which are 90 kmh limited but drop to 50 kmh in town. Well used to be I haven't been there in a decade and a half.
If there is a city or a school or a crossing, even 2x3 lane will get seriously limited in speed, particularly if there were previous accident.
Those limitation are not tehre to "generate money" or "haphazardly". The problem is , people get angry seeing a 50 kmh or puzzled but never ask the Civil Road engineering departement *WHY* the speed limit on a 2*3 is 50 kmh. In my case, I did ask out of curiosity and the result I got are mentionned above. I have yet to see a stretch of road with low speed for no good reason. True the reason might not be known for your average car owner which would rather overspeed or swear under his breath than ask. But they are usually there.
U around Chernobyl might be polluting as heavy metal, but they are not dangerous per see to live "beside" as long as you do not ingest them. Heck, you can hold U 235 in your hand as long as you got a latex glove. Pu it depends on the isotope as Pu has a "relatively short" life comapred to U (Pu 239 has got a 24000 years half life). More problematic would be much shorter half life element, but still in the decades and century amount, like Cs 137. Because those are much more radioactive than U and Pu, but still long enough half life to be there for a long time. Much less a problem are isotopes which are highly radioactive, with minutes to a year of half life : by now they have gone thru so many half lives that not much is left (for 1 year half life , 20 years mean 1/(2^20)=less than 1 atoms left out of 1 million initially).
So yeah, Cs is a big problem, bigger than U (heck some of which is released in the atmosphere by coal power) and Pu. The other one are more heavy metal pollution than radioactively dangerous , relatively speaking.
Ina free market world, without governemental intervention (what you call mommy), those damage caused by the company are considered *externalities* and actually do not influence their bottom line, neither would they really be forced to repay for them. Example abound of company getting their profit, then leaving an horror clean up, or if sued and bankrupted, anyway never paying back for clean up. So yeah I find it funny when people praise the free market as solution for pollution (be it radioactive or others). Pollution is an externalities in the case of free market.
If i recall correctely, UN Low / UN medium shows a stabilisation , but UN High does not. There are many scenario. However how probable is UN high comapred to UN MED and UN LOW I cannot say.
Avoid Java, Flash, acrobat and IE Explorer and you avoid around 95+% of the entry points. IOW it does not seem to be opera or mozilla which is vlnerable, but the added cruft plug in.
And that count only the *natural* radiation. Furthermore IAEA guidance are only that, and they are about additional dose *above* the natural radiation, that is occupational, or medicinal dose. So you cannot compare them to natural radiation background. Seeing that the average WORLDWIDE natural background is about 2.5 mSv per year about a maximum of 1 mSv per year total would put quite nearly all japan and most of the world outside the maximum range.
it depends ont he area where you lvie, but in japan it should be around ~2 mV per year from natural radiation ; 4 if you count all sources including medicals (which don't interest us). There are about 8.8K hours in a year so the average from natural radiation here is ~ 0.2 micro SV per hour in average. If the mountain you are speaking of is granitic/volcanic, that can even go up to much more ~0.8 Micro Sv per hour (I speaks from experience here being force to measure my old home basement near the amcif central in France). So what you did measure do not seem too far off from natural radiation. A bit on the high side for Japan, but much much lower than many area of the world.
When religion make claims which are not faith based, for example claim of miracle or effect in the real world (as opposed to be wholly in the head) then the scientific method can be applied , and evidence looked at. The only point where you might be right , is when the claim are faith only, without claim of any effect visible in reality, then really, I see no problem to say science has nothing to do with faith, which in this case has nothing to do with reality (otherwise it would leave an evidence which CAN be studied).
The main problem I see with people saying one can be religious and scientist , is that they are compartmentalizing : they use their rationality for science, and leave it outside at the door for religion. *shrug* not my beer, but if one wants to check their brain out, that's their problem.
The law require a filter, it does not pürescribe innocuous word to be filtered. Like "Hell", "damn", "screw", "retard", various biology word , as they are clearly not obscene. The only reason to go that far *above* the requirement is misplaced puritanism.
retard : can't speak of something getting slower , like a wave (the primary meaning is to slow). This is truly retarded.
screw : can't speak of making furniture, self made stuff, special type of motor , mechanical stuff. Way to go to screw people.
smut : can't do a critical report on porn.
scrotum : ha , biology is out too.
rape : ha , so now the kid can't even report on real crime.
orgasm orgasms penis : biology folk. Those have a perfect valid usage for kids. When I was 11/12 we had a report to do on mammals.
homo : can't report on homosapiens, homosexual, HOMO/LUMO (highiest Occupied Molecular Orbita) and so on.
Hell : wehat the hell , hell is to be censored ? Can't even speak of "heaven and hell" (vangelis) ? or even religion ?
gonads : ho come on ! biology ! You wanna censor brain>/b> too ?
ejaculation : this is a normal term for pity sake.
damn : can be used in a lot of normal litterature too.
This is beyond retarded. I can understand wanting to censor *some* term, although I think it is a useless job as people will always find work around it until a good AI come up : bon-er b_o_n_e_r, BO*NER, O-B-ner, "The Big B to the ONER" etc.... But much worst is the censoring of utterly innocuous word. Whoever drew that list as example shozuld have his name put on big billboard and publicly ashamed.
Or at least it would not be if people did not keep going through a RED light. I am getting SICK and TIRED of people going through a red, through stops, accelerating to speed way past the speed limit , ignoring my fucking right of passage, and then crying they got a fine. Respect the FUCKING law and you won't get a fine. See how easy it was ? This is not about big brother, this is about fucking moron thinking they can get away with their way of badly driving. As for the big brother accusation : you realize that those red light camera (at least for the system here around) only save data when a vehicule go past the red light ? Those are usually not *permanent* camera, just traffic violation camera. Same for speed trap actually which do not permanentely film, only when a speeding car is detected.
And don't get me to LAUGH. 52 million USD per year , is about 520.000 traffic violation at maximum (http://newyork.drivinguniversity.com/red-light-cameras/fines-and-penalties-for-running-a-red-light/ $100-300 for the first offense $200-$500 for the second offense in 18 months $500-$1000 for the third offense in 18 months) and that is very cvonservative. That's about in average 1500 red light per day if everybody are first offender. But wanna bet there are multiple offender in this ?
If you want to complain, complain about your fellow idiot car/truck driving fellows. Not about the law enforcement/city which has the duty to squash the antics of those moron in engine vehicule.
And a trashcan icon could also be represented with another Icon. Would you have supüported the first guy which came with trashcan icons suing everybody else ?
"and the Enterprise developer license doesn't involve an Apple review of the app"

"You can't reason somebody out of something they did not rationaly reason themselves in" is an adage I found mostly true. All those elenin-doomsday comet people have not a frigging clue what they are speaking about, making up neutron star and whatnot. This might be an interresting FAQ for the "undecided" (the one which stumbled upon those doomsday stuff and want to check if it is true) but this will be utterly lost on the "woo" which made up their mind and made up whatever magical explanation without even any knowledge on the subject.
"The cops lied and lied and lied some more, even though there was video clearly showing what happened.Without the video they would have gotten away with it."
They are, at the moment, free. The public paid soem compensation to the mother. Unless the newest commission slap on the finger of the cops, they *effectively* got away with it.
