There are leaders in a religious organization but they are usually dead or inanimate (or just their God(s)). There are also hierarchies used for organization and distributing communications. If a religion's holy book has instructions for a way of living or lays out a set of steps that need to be completed, that could be seen as having a cause. Conversion seems to be the most common cause.
You are certainly right that most religions don't have a living leader that commands all of its members though. But i'd argue that not having a single living leader doesn't prevent a religion (Islam in this case) from having a cause. There is probably some cause directed at all Islam members, though it is probably an extremely basic part of the religion. But again, you are right that this prevents a new cause from driving the whole of a religion in a new direction (like planning to invade the Vatican). In that way most religions are just not comparable to an organization like the Nazi party. Catholicism and Buddhism are the only two exceptions i can think of?
But it did mean that we didn't prosecute all Nazis for war crimes just because they were Nazis. We sort of did. They could no longer hold any public office. You did not want to be a member of the Nazi party. We recently saw this happen with the Ba'ath party and Suddam Hussein during the Iraq campaign. A Ba'ath member could hold no position of power.
Quoting the GP Big commercial sites still use jpg to display their wares simply because they don't want to lose those one or two sales from the older browser users.
Would you call a 10% increase in pay insignificant? Getting paid 40k and raise to 44k. That's only 4k, pretty insignificant. Your life won't be improved by that.
It always seemed odd to me that another country would want to use US dollars. Probably because the US doesn't ever deal with multiple currencies though. I remember in Germany when the Mark was still a thing. You could still spend them all over France, no problem. Maybe it's a "i have heard of this currency, it must be legit" kind of thing.
I don't know much about the treasury bill thing. I did hear that you have to pay for it with a bank account, not a credit card. That could limit who has access.
I know people are saying that it isn't many phones but the patents seem pretty broad. The UI one is about detecting if the user is swiping down which would scroll a list. If their finger moved a bit to the side the algorithm would ignore that since the intention was to scroll the list. That's the simple version of it anyways. The other patent was about detecting if it was a microphone or non-microphone device that was plugged into the phone. The method used did not sound original but i didn't research it any further.
If putting the parts together is most of the cost, then why not? If your argument is that the HQ location determines how valuable the company is then i'd say you are wrong. It seems to me that if you can choose between 100 engineering jobs and 10,000 manufacturing jobs that you'd still want the 10,000. Even if the total cost to employ each group is the same, society gets more from the 10,000 economically. Could a town survive on 100 people buying food, clothing, and cars? doubtful. Could it survive on 10,000 people buying food, clothes, and cars? sure can. I'd say the engineers are more valuable to society but they would be worthless if nobody can afford to buy their designed products.
It is certainly a problem that isn't talked about enough. The UCMJ should be able to crush people but it seems like the local commander keeps it from getting there. I read an article saying that for sexual assault the commander now loses his privileges to decide what happens and it goes straight to jag (or something along those lines). Express-lane justice with fewer places it can be swept under the rug. Sounds good to me : ) I think one of the major problems is that power is pushed down so low and soldiers are encouraged to solve problems at the lowest levels. If someone is caught stealing s/he is "dealt with" and nobody above will hear about it. If a young soldier sees this as the way of dealing with rape then s/he might also do the same thing when they are in charge some day. It becomes part of the culture. Drugs and DUI are some of the few things that go straight to the top. If sexual assault gets in that list it will help but the culture will take time to change. 10-20 years.
The US Army tests every soldier for HIV every year. I'm also very sure that STD metrics are closely watched. There are more ways to become infected than sex. Like people bleeding all over each other and so on. I'm sure sex is a big part of it though.
I agree, it's a bit sensational. But how many seconds until the pilot could not recover from the crash? Probably a lot less than 60. Not trying to nit-pick or anything though! Just saying that at some point the pilot just goes "ohhh shiiiiii" until the crash occurs.
Heavy equipment is something the US is still very good at manufacturing. It's possible that it's cheaper to buy up a company and all the equipment than to buy it piecemeal.

I would at least expect them to ask him how he did it. Not just ignore that he was able to do something that should be impossible.

How does the Kernel drive what your disks are formatted to? Your disks are formatted to ext3 or 4 long before you config/compile the Kernel.
You're thinking of Depleted Uranium.

That AMA is pretty hard to read. All the Mars-one posts are buried. Looks like a bunch of people shouting at someone who isn't in the room.

Then you'll be surprised to know the US is the largest exporter of heavy machinery like tractors and construction equipment : )

hah, thanks : ) I don't subjects for some reason. Really gets in the way when people start their posts there too. swf == single white female?

That will limit you to only men. If you are looking for women, i recommend substituting the CAB for the CIB : )
If you make something else, that's great. But it won't be email. The adoption rate will be very low.
I don't want to see your CSS. If you have any.

But one way is by choice. I'd say that makes a difference.
You might be. SC3 could take another 9 years to make : /
