Being productive requires things like property rights - what's the point of working if the local warlord can decide to move into your house on a whim? More to the point, the pirates in particular are a consequence of Somalia's bloody recent history, not a cause of it. Indeed, they will probably end up being the germ of a stable Somali state, sooner or later.
There never was a golden age of rational enquiry. The thread started by Montaigne was always a thin one; there were no shortage of charlatans and fools two hundred years ago either.
This already happens regularly. Most UK businesses will receive at regular intervals letters informing them that their registration for xyz.co.uk with the "UK Network Domain Names Directory" (or similar) is about to expire and must be renewed now for £500. If they're smart, they also match it up with your domain expiry so the recipient has a chance of remembering there is something significant about that date. I've more than once stopped my boss from writing out a cheque on the spot...
It's amusing. I quite often set my user agent to whatever the latest bit of vapourware is, or to a Commodore 16. Every once in a while, I get a bite and some blogmaster posts something like "MOG [sic] I've been surfed by a Microsoft Surface" or whatever. It gives me a little frisson of pleasure.
What possible reason do world leaders have to put climate change control measures in place if they know there is no need to contain global warming? Is it to col us even more to make it comfy for the lizards?
You might have better luck if you proofed your tax proposals before submitting them to government, but never mind. More to the point, distance shipped says nothing about carbon emitted. An ipod that comes on the boat from the China will require substantially less carbon than the ipod that you buy in New York and airmail to your sister in San Francisco for Christmas.
Bullshit: the world is capable of feeding itself several times over. The reason we don't is because craven politicians and voters in Europe and America won't open up farm trade to the world, and because many third world farm systems are unbelievably inefficient and nothing is done about it. But food should be a solved problem.
Oh no. Nothing of the sort. You see, it is unethical and wrong for a country to spy wholesale on its own citizens. Most unethical. Many countries even explicitly ban the practice. But if another country does it...oh well, the information was already collected, right? So we might as well use it. You scratch my back...
My suspicion is that these are broadband accounts which have gone through a reseller. BT has something like 400 resellers on its books, so a substantial number of people going through $SOME ISP are actually getting service from BT.
Indeed. The point about Facebook is that they have effectively reimplemented everything that most people use the internet *for*: staying in touch, sharing photos, chat, email, and propagating news and links. If they manage this effectively and keep their network effect, I can't really see them losing significant ground.
The law? Read your bible. Engineering? They were good engineers, but what did they invent? Everything they did had been done by someone else somewhere. Constitutional law existed in prototypical form literally thousands of years before the rise of Rome and was codified by Aristotle some 900 odd years before Rome ditched the Twelve Tables, which made no significant reference to constitutional law. As for the monarchs, I'll see your Rome and raise you Ancient Greece. Rationality? I don't see anything rational about building an empire whose economy was based on non-stop expansion and which fell apart once it became unmanageable.
To be fair, Rome didn't really invent *anything*. They just took other people's ideas and did some excellent engineering with them, financing it through a continually expanding slave-labour economy.
Do you have any evidence that religiosity of teaching and performance in science have a causal link, or is it down to some other factor (like the fact that in Europe, the religious schools usually have better teaching in all subjects)?
They should link them all together to form one supercomputer, it would need some kind of hardcore name, though, like something out of an Anglo-Saxon epic perhaps.
Please do not attempt to argue your point by using selected stories. I can assure you I can dig up as many horror stories due to the use of private medical care as from public. You may be right, but you would be better off citing statistical outcomes and population data. For any large population there will be a small number of individuals whose experience is many, many standard deviations away from the norm.
The purpose of NICE is not to deny care, but to study the cost-benefit ratio of treatments. If a drug costs fifty thousand pounds a year to treat an otherwise fatal condition, there are half a million patients for whom its use is indicated, and it will save five lives, should it be used? Every system denies some level of care: the question is how and under what circumstances it happens.
And since the chain of products you are using has no contractual liability, the company you used to work for is (depending on their industry) sitting on a landmine. If you tried to do this in a UK financial institution, your compliance department would cut your balls off.
I agree with it, but for slightly different reasons. I think in the modern age, the best way to spread liberal democracy and equality before the law is simply to allow people the best access to the fruits of it that we can and let them choose it for themselves. I'm pretty convinced that in the modern age, commuting the embargoes against Burma, Cuba, North Korea, and so on, would do more in the long run than any amount of diplomacy.
The bigger problem with California is governance and particularly constitutional governance. California is practically impossible to manage with any kind of central direction, and as a result is completely gridlocked.

Umm, if you have a number for the Somali Police Department, I'm sure we'd all love to hear about it...

Freeze it into a circle with a hole in the middle and use the stick as an axle. Kids these days...
Try this and this - the second one cites temperatures of 262F.

It might be if the DMCA applied outside the US.
Conditioning on the NSA? A negative number, I'd suspect.

Well, year on year, cigarettes kill more people than nukes. Amazing, really, and it's just a plant.

You can't fool me. It's turtles all the way down.
