Even if that was true; languages evolve. Printers don't print anymore either, most paint. A modem is a device connecting a data network to a phone network. It doesn't matter if the phone network is digital, or the data network analog.
Btw. I am not using my current monitor for monitoring either.
I don't know, mosquitos has many other food sources than humans. Resistance to humans might not be important enough to give potentially immune mosquitos an evolutionary advantage.
It was what I said in my first comment: You don't "need need" the passport, since no one is checking it, but that doesn't mean you are not required by law to carry it, which you are!
Some national ID's double as EU-passports now, but that doesn't mean an ID is enough. You still need a passport, sometimes it is just included in your national ID. The UK AFAIK doesn't have national IDs, and they in the Schengen area. So the passport ID will never be valid or provided in the UK.
Your personal experience is irrelevant, as you have just unhindered, but illegally been crossing national borders in the EU.
Yes, but like doping in bicycling, but it is also against the rules. Many European businesses have been fined for doing that. Hopefully the practice will stop soon, or at least stop from being the norm.
No, I usually use Qt containers, or whatever containers is used in the library I currently work with. I know very very few C++ libraries that uses STL containers. Most uses their own containers or those of a related frameworks like Qt.
Writing you own containers is only for special cases, or when developing new frameworks for other developers to use.
So you want to replace something simple and useful with something convoluted and useless?
Just because it is a standard doesn't mean it is better. Especially if it is something no one uses because it is incredibly crappy like STL containers. (Boost is really cool, but also convoluted).
You do need a passport. Well, not need need, since no one is checking it at the borders, but if the police in another EU country ask for it you need to be able to present it. Some places a EU citizenship card doubles as a passport but they don't have those in the UK or eastern europe.
AMD didn't get the Alpha developers from HP. They got them from DEC. Before DEC was bought by Compaq they were working with AMD developing HyperTransport. Some of the key developers behind HyperTransport moved to AMD instead of being bought by Compaq.
Windows NT ran fine on Alpha. The problem was that NT was not very well known, and with Alpha being even more rare, there was no applications written for Windows NT Alpha. For a moment Alpha processors was so much faster than Intel processors that they could successfully run simulations of x86 processors faster than the fastest x86 processors. This x86->Alpha translation software is the granddaddy of many modern JIT compilers.
When Intel starting doing hardware simulations of x86 in the Pentium Pro architectures, they finally beat the Alpha on price and performance (thought first in P2). The Alpha guys managed to beat Intel on last time though when they jumped ship help design the Athlon for AMD.
You are right, that there was no reason to pull the US question into the comment. I just assumed the parent was American since he assumed there was no enforcement behind the human rights treaty.
Though the question is not as irrelevant as you suggest either. The US is an observer in the Council of Europe, and it has been an active choice for the US to stay as just an observer and not sign any of the treaties. Many other countries such as Canada and Japan have signed treaties by the Council of Europe.
It is not a UN document. The human rights are enforced by the human rights court in Haag. They are pretty well enforced in all countries that have signed them. It can even override the supreme court in the signing countries.
Note, the US have not signed the human rights declaration since the US disagrees with human right number 1: The right to live, AND with the concept of a foreign court that can override the government.
You couldn't be more wrong. Go read some history and get back to me. I'd really suggest the book I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Goldberg's _Liberal Fascism_.
You do realize that liberalism in the original intent of the word, and the intent used in most of Europe and especially 50 years ago, is a right wing philosophy?
You do realize that the American revolution was a part of the liberal revolution, that the founding fathers and Lincoln are some of greatest liberal heroes. You do realize that until the 1960s the Republicans was the liberal party in the US, and the Democrats the conservative?
Also Fascism is an economy controlled by private companies. That makes the merger of the government and private industry natural, but not because the private industry comes under government control, but because the government comes under private control.
Yes. I know the answer to my questions is: No. That's why they are called rethorical questions, designed to inform you and help disband your delusions.
AGP is no more obsolete than USB 1.1 devices. The bus on PCI express is much faster true, but the bus on any AGP devices is never maxed out unless the GPU pages textures into main-memory, when it does that the performance went to hell. The same still happens to PCI express cards though their hell is slightly faster, but no one would still play a game at that performance level, which is why graphics card has a big dedicated memory. As long as you have enough memory on your graphics card the actual performance of the bus is close to pointless.
The real reason PCI express is replacing AGP is because it is cheaper, and the artificial obsolence helps the sale of both new motherboards and graphicscards.
There is nothing for you to concede. Waterboarding is torture (* unless you do it for fun, then it is just sadistic). The only question for you to evaluate, is if it is acceptable torture, or more generally: Are there any forms of acceptable torture?
* Hint: Look-up torture in a dictionary. It has a very clear cut definition: Torture is any physical or psychological pressure applied to gather information or force a confession.
The test you always have to ask when evaluating if something is torture or not is: Does this action have any other purpose than pressuring the subject to reveal information or confess. If it has other purpose it can be acceptable (like a police interrogation), if it hasn't got any other purposes, it is torture.
However, the sad truth is that in the year 2009, the phrase "Science" has been co-opted by a psuedo-religious group and is used as a cover for hatred of anyone else who doesn't share the same views, including all manner of ugly anti-relgious bigotry
If you feel that way, you are probably wrong, and belongs to an indoctrinated group, that is at odds with reality and therefore science.
Science is a process for improving human knowledge. It is sometimes wrong, but at any given time it is more likely to be right than any other system of gaining knowledge. Including your gut feeling. In fact it is especially likely to be more right than your gut feeling.
oh yes, i certainly do reject universal "free" health care, because it's socialist, and because it's not free and because it does not work and never will. Yet you'd be surprised, but it does not imply that the poor are condemned to sicken and die
You are perfectly right it doesn't work. It just provides better service than private health care for one 5th of the cost. If we only knew what the right solution was. The only experimental knowledge we have today is that US style healthcare sucks, public healthcare suck too, but is slightly better and a whole lot cheaper.
Moreover, while TPB site itself contains the Torrent files, Google only has links to such files.
No you got it upside down. Torrent files _are_ links, so TPB only contains links to files, while Google actively caches popular content, and thus contains not only links but the actual copyrighted material.
GPL can not more infect your IP than any other non-licensed code. To find real comparable examples, look at the Video for Windows vs QuickPlay case. Microsoft copied code from Apple they had no valid license for. This did not mean Apple owned their code, or that every Microsoft user with illegal Apple code had to pay Apple. No Microsoft removed to infringing code and payed a reasonable fine.
gets 600 miles to the tank Holy heck, how big is your fuel tank? Does it have its own zip code? Do you *seriously* drive for 10 hours on end without eating, using the restroom, stretching, picking up coffee, or anything of the sort? If so, please let me know when you'll be driving near Iowa City so I can stay *off* the road. Standard safety advice is to average 5-10 minutes of break per hour of driving.
Why on earth are you surprised by the range?? My 12 year-old BMW station-car does more than 600 miles on a tank. It has half the mileage of a modern diesel or two-thirds of that of a hybrid, and it is fucking one and half ton station-car with 6-cylinder engine!! Sure the tank holds 74liters which is quite a lot, but the big tank in my car just compensates for its horrible mileage (horrible by European standards).
More disks means less reliability due to more points of failure. A 16-drive array is more likely to have a failure than a 6-drive array by virtue of simple statistics.
The chance of a single disk failing is irrelevant when the array is capable of handling disk failures without failing as a whole. I was actually kidding when I asked if you hadn't heard of RAID, but you obviously haven't; so read up on it, it will explain the details for you.

The interesting part about sovereign immunity is that it only covers the sovereign, and not his lackeys, or his administration.
