The part about removal is quite obviously exorbitant and would not likely hold in court. There is nothing really shocking in prohibiting the use of packet sniffers (esp. as a step towards reverse-engineering.)
However, war officially has been over for quite a while in Irak. And shotguns can be used in police operations. Shades of the Algerian Independence War, if you ask me...
Most of those compounds don't even contain nitrogen, let alone nitrites. The closest call would be fertilizer, where there can be nitrites along nitrates.
On the other hand, while nitrites are still allowed as preservatives and colour fixatives in meat products, they should have been banned long ago. Such accidents are unfortunately still pretty common. 1g is usually considered as a fatal dose.
Actually, used birth control pills count here. Oestrogens are sulfo-conjugated, and then eliminated in urine. By the way, premarin is nothing else than equine sulfo-conjugated oestrogens.
Other oestrogenic endocrine disruptors include soy products (esp. after metabolization of genistein and daidzein into equol by the intestinal flora), heavy metals (esp. Cadmium; though I suspect hair metal could have some effect along the same line), many phytosanitary chemicals (DDT was a prime exemple, but atrazine and pyrethrenoids aren't bad either), as well as a whole lot of chemicals containing one or several phenol groups.
IANARedneck, but there are quite a few versatile breeds, mostly rustic ones, like the Salers that can be bred for both. Their meat is excellent, and the milk is also used for making a couple of the best kinds of french cheese. Of course, I'm neither talking of McDo meat non-quality nor of living tasteless milk factories here...
Sorry, but it went the other way around this time. This type of law was passed in France, before Germany, to protect the independent publishing houses from the grey-area practices of superstores (back margins).
It's quite obviously already done on a large scale, though the winemakers refuse to admit it. Mainly for crappy novelty wines like "Beaujolais nouveau". Most of its aroma comes from added aldehydes.
I think you missed a word: visually. A good layout and visuals are not about coding and they require a totally different set of skills. Only a plumber would care mostly about plumbing when buying a house. Most people will first judge on how it looks and how they feel it would be like to live in it.
At lunch only? An ex-boss of mine developped an addiction to solitaire, litterally. He asked to have it removed from his computer, because he spent most of his day playing.
Fortunately, he didn't know how to use a web browser. Else the lan would have been crawling with downloaded games (and the associated spyware) in no time.
Most people don't need military-grade ruggedized tools. I'm working in forest management, and our field agents use Psion Workabouts (not the same function as the Recon, I know.)
Those can already take more than enough punishment. Actually, I've yet to see a thouroughly broken one, even through field use.
We do know about it. It's usually called acidification.
It's actually a loss in cation exchange capacity. Along with the exports of vegetable matter out of the growing area goes a lot of Ca and Mg (useful for plants), thus raising the Al+++:[basic cations] in the ground, and incidentally acidity. This directly leads to lowered fertility and even to aluminium toxicity and lateritisation in extreme cases.
The only way to counteract it is to add lime to the ground, which is disruptive to ground microfauna, hence to soil structure.
There are simple solutions, though, letting cattle graze on site instead of exporting fodder out of the fields. Unfortunately, it's not "productive" enough for the modern farmer. In the meanwhile, soil fertility and overall quality is dropping at an alarming rate, with an ever increased use of lime and fertilizers to keep that bloody productivity high.
To sum up with an ugly buzzword, modern farming isn't sustainable.
Actually, the french revolutionaries *were* starving. Bread had become unaffordable for most families in the late 1780s
What led to that situation was the hoarding of grain, by speculators, against which king Louis XVI did nothing. Marie-Antoinette's apocryphous words, "let them eat cake", were coined to describe that situation.
What happened, though, is that the sans-culottes threw over royalty, seen as an ineffective government, instead of the speculating merchants who were directly causing the situation.
It wasn't until Marx's theories that the cause of nationwide shortages was linked directly to capitalists and not only to the government. Look at what happened in Russia in the beginning of the XXth century. Same reasons (hoarding of food and land by the rich), different outcome (communist collectivisation, instead of a republic led by the very merchants who caused starvation in the first place.)
I know this is a joke, but it isn't that off target. The point isn't to see whether they'll develop a cancer, but how and how soon.
This mouse/human model will certainly be most helpful in studying hormone-dependent breast cancers, since in-vitro cellular assays have given wildly different results against similar substances. A partially-human-yet-ethically-useable whole body model is certainly welcome in the field.
By the way, depending on the studies and their results, this line of research may deal a vicious blow to the partisans of both the vegan diet and alternative hormone replacement treatments for menopaused women, which rely heavily on soy foods and other beans, containing large amounts of potential endocrine disruptors (estrogen agonists and antagonists mostly: coumestrol, genistein and daidzein to name a few), all potentially linked to breast cancers.
On the other hand, these phytoestrogens may really have a preventive effect as the pharmaceutical industry claims, even if research has been contradictory until now.
Actually, Pravda has become the Russian equivalent of News of the World. Except it seems that the editors of Pravda actually believe the nonsense they publish.
You may also want to check how easy it will be to keep the rooms cool without adding too many electrical systems. If the airflow in the building isn't sufficient, you'll be drawing much more juice in summer.
Of course, depending on where you are, you may have the same issue in winter with isolation and portable heaters. If you use AMDs, this won't factor as an *extra* load, though.
I don't think it's the branding that would be a problem. Just think of all stereotypically girlish toys Hasbro already produces.
It's the compulsive collection thing that will make that thing bomb: not a girl thing at all. Could be a success as a standalone game, though.
I've seen quite a few birds killing themselves on a window. I'd admit it's quite a funny sight, but the envirofreaks will mod me down if I do. On the other hand, it's not quite as funny as seeing one crashing on a wall. A friend of mine once simply pointed with his arm at a couple of doves and shouted "Bang". One of the silly birds deviated from its course and hit straight on a nearby concrete wall, without any kind of windows.
This was the first and only time I've seen someone killing something simply by mimicking a gun. It also makes me thinks that using less glass wouldn't help much: the pea-brained beasties are so stupid they'd crash into anything, anyway.
Unlike males, most women actually care about coordinating their clothes, with themselves but also with their hair style and make up. So this tool looks great for picking clothes to try. Much better than a paper catalog, even if the pictures are beautiful (actually, even more so, pictures of obnoxiously slim models are frustrating.)
As for trying them, you're talking about a ritual that can't be pushed aside. Fit, yes, but that's also the only way of getting the feel of the clothes.
Simply because many educated people take it one step further than mere agnosticism or atheism. They're anticlericals, opposed to any and all form of religion and dogma (which more often than not are simply a tool to exploit the naive and the poor through hope). I'm sorry to be blunt here, but following unquestioningly any shared belief certainly can't be construed as a mark of intelligence.
I first started using a computer when I was 8 (1986), when the government provided all schools with Thomson comps (6809 processor, 1 Mhz) processor. If I remember correctly, there were four languages available: basic, assembly, forth and logo. Logo was too simple and limited to be interesting. Basic (MS Basic 1.0) was easy, and the interpreter made it a hands-on, "sandbox", experience. I don't think I would have been hooked by a compiled language back then. On the other hand, it's pretty limited and what is learned with basic won't help much later. Assembly was hard, especially because a single mistake meant a complete reload from the tape. Tweaking routines into basic programs was interesting, though, as was disassembling the available games and deciphering the code. Forth was mainly "wow" but I never really got to fully use it, since unlike basic, the documentation coming with the machines was scarce. But I still think it's simple enough to be an interesting starting point for a child.
On the other hand, if you want your child to stay clear of computer programming for the rest of his life, show him C, perl or ADA first: Satisfaction guaranteed.

Disrupting religious events is always a good thing. So the girl wasn't really to blame. Had it been at the theatre or the opera...
