Elect yes. But appoint? No, how would a group appoint. The way it works in most countries is that the head of government appoints and the parliament approves.
It's only a democratic country because there can vote for the king, but the king choose the ministers and the ministers can do anything. The parliament is a joke to keep some credibility that some discussion exists. The citizen are left with there problems and never take seriously.
The french president have had a lot of power since thr 50s, but appointing the government (or administration as Americans put is) is alwsys the primary responsibility of the head of government. The same happens in all states. Prime ministers to presidents all do that.
I think your bullshit is somewhat undercut by being under an article about another country considering doing what the US is doing, and you claim everyone does.
This is more of the rule than the exception in most languages that I know.
English is my fourth language, and when I started getting serious about speaking it properly, I realized two things: - I had been pronouncing many words incorrectly, and to this day, 25 years later, I sometimes realize that I had the wrong pronunciation all along. Sometimes it is because I am familiar with the word in the original language, but it is pronounced differently in English, and sometimes it is because the pronunciation disobeys English rules. - Many native speakers have no idea how to pronounce words that they have never heard.
But in Bulgarian, Russian, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Polish, German, there are very, very few words that you would mispronounce if you see them written down, as long as you know the applicable rules. Some of the languages above (not all) are also very easy to spell, because as long as you know the correct pronunciation, there is only one possible spelling.
Most of the languages have rythm and emphesis rules that you have to know, and are not written down. Getting that wrong is as confusing to a native speaker as choosing the wrong vowel sound in English.
Btw. The quick way to figuring out how close the writen and spoken languages are, is to check how old the written language is. If the written language is several hundred years old, then it is going to be rather different from the spoken language that has evolved faster in the meantime.
Did you just completely miss the first part of AC's post? Or ignore it? Simpleton.
There was only one line. And the topic was posix compliant fork implementation. Posix is a lot of APIs Linux supports many of them, and Windows not as many but quite a few.
Do any of your politicians have even the smallest clue how the internet works? Trying to age restrict porn will be as effective as a law banning the sun from rising tomorrow,
Apparently the "experts" are having brain trouble. Must just be a british thing.
They managed to make it stick. That way Microsoft brought graphical UI to the masses, just like Apple brought smartphones to the masses with the iPhone though smartphones had existed more than half decade already.
Thats pretty retarded. You seem to forgotten everyone else with nuclear weapons. What Iran could do with nuclear weapons is act in a way that would otherwise get them invaded. The weapon itself can't by used due to MAD.
Software patents are explicitly not allowed in US either. It was the US patent court that after it was established as being outside the normal courts that unilaterally decided to allow software patents. That is what people are afraid will happen in Europe.
The height certainly isn't the same. I know Boing has a similar one. These are not the freight version, they are specialized versions. Though the maximum weight is probably likely same, just much more volume.
That list seems to be missing special purpose civilian aircrafts. Both the Boing 747 and Airbus 380 has larger modified versions used by respectively Boing and Airbus to ship parts of airplanes.
Idiot, "resistant to antibiotics" does not mean "immune to all antibiotics."
It is immune to some classes of antibiotics, yes. Other classes of antibiotics continue to be effective. Vancomycin, for example, is effective on most MRSA infections. So no, homeopathic remedies are NOT going to be "as effective as any modern medicine."
Go try to sound smart somewhere else.
It was a joke, which is why I used mentioned something as funny as homepathics medicine. I agree with some of the other posters that they probably didn't test against the best modern medicine, which is why the description is vague, and if they tested against something not effective. Well, then something equally effective is not very effective.
A couple of pretty toxic ingredients there. I suppose as a topical remedy you could use it. But saying it's as effective as any modern remedy sounds like a bit of a stretch.
Considering the MRSA is resistant to modern antibiotics I would assume pretty much anything is as effective as any modern medicine on it. Hell homeopathics might work as well.
If we are going to have drones routinely flying at 50mph 200 ft above heavily populated areas then they need to have at least the kind of reliability you get from a military drone
So you want it to blow up a civilians on a regular basis?
I thought astroturf was in contrast to a organic, "grassroots" effort.
Derailing discussion forums in itself is not really astroturfing. Maybe I misread and that's not all of it.
Astroturfing is just pretending to be a grassroot, that is pretending to be a non-sponsored individual supporting a certain point of view. Any paid commentator not explicitly stating they are paid, is an astroturfer.
I have a simple question - Why do liberals only acknowledge the bias of Fox news or other such outlets, and never the more extreme bias of MSNBC or CNN?
Because CNN is very right-wing, but not as extremely as Fox? MSNBC I see get a lot of flak for being generally shit, including its weird attempt at counterbalancing Fox.
Certain news stories come up, and people make the most twisted arguments imaginable to deflect, downplay, or show shades of grey. Sometimes it's from long-term users with varied post histories - are these well-crafted astroturfers, carefully building up a false history to deflect suspicion?
No, they are likely smarter or just as as you. You should listen to them.
My last remembered example was the one about home solar installations: The panels give unused power to the grid during the day, and the users take power from the grid at night.
Exactly. Briliant example. The naive point of view is to let them abuse the net as storage, but any person thinking it through can tell you that will not work in the long run.
Every major government does it. It's still evil, and only by educating the public about the foreign agents subverting public discourse can we avoid the consequences of a malign deception. Education without which democracy fails.
No, they don't. You are again implying a falsehood to make someone you like look better.
What models of American cars are exported? Ford/Chevy have separate divisions and make completely different models for Europe. I'd buy a European made Ford long before an American.
They sell large overcompensating cars to places like Saudi Arabia and China.
AFAIK they have only found one of the flight recorders, the one recording voice in the cockpit. Once the second is found and analysed more will be known.
Even if you wrote this in C in the style in which they did it the program would be slow. Since there's no way to "extend" a C string, it would require determining the length of the current string (which involves scanning the string for a null byte), malloc'ing a new buffer with one more byte,
There is. It is called realloc. If you are unlucky, it will just divide the number of times the system actually performs by 16 or whatever the malloc implementation uses as an alignment, but once the allocation gets big enough you get a pages directly from the system, and it just maps in more pages on the end.
Brace yourself, but most people who consume packaged food products have little concern over any chemicals in them.
The corollary to this is most people who consume packges chemicals have very little concern if there is any actual food products in them.
I recently saw "imitation American-style cheese food slices". Now, "American" "cheese" isn't legally cheese in most of the world. So what the fsck is imitation artificial cheese?
I'm not even sure it had any dairy in it.
Reminds of McDonalds in the 90s when they were forced to changed the description of their burgers from containing beef to containing meat in the EU (the meat didn't contain enough beef to qualify as beef, but the pink goo did qualify as "meat") . Always beware of too generic food descriptions.

Yep.

Ironic, seeing how systemd is not posix compliant....
What does systemd have to do with fork API?

No, no they should compare it to the H4!
Or they could use any since they're all about the same size anyway.

But I would trust independent researchers over facebook any day, and especially when it comes to issues concerning possibly bad behavior by facebook.
