No, you cannot hide a crime with a settlement, you can however hide the details of a civil dispute. Here's how you tell the difference, with a crime you call the cops and your lawyer, with a civil dispute you just call your lawyer. Also think about what you said "escalating fines", people aren't arrested for discrimination nor does it attract a fine / prison term. There is no "criminal" in a civil suit, just winners and losers.
You seem to have forgotten Bush's temper tantrum when the UNSC refused to endorse his invasion plans. The things you list were reasons to invade but they don't add up to a "right" to invade, to do that the US had to dump long held foreign policy, ignore existing treaties, and adopt something called the Bush doctrine.
Yep, I found putting one on was pretty much the same as getting a skin diving mask to seal properly. I don't think Joe public actually believes cheap paper mask are as good as an industrial respirator, it's obvious they leak when you wear one, but they're better than nothing and cost next to nothing.
Bono and to a lesser extent Geldof get a lot of flack for what they have done. However together they basically eliminated the crippling cold war debt foisted on Africa. Bono also had a pivotal role in persuading Clinton to clamp down on IRA funding coming out of Boston, his short fuck the revolution speech (starts @ 2:35) during a 1980's Boston concert took the balls of an elephant to make and unsurprisingly attracted credible death threats from the IRA.
As an Aussie the first thing I thought when reading TFS is that most world maps make Scotland look much larger than it is and Australia smaller than it actually is. I went to school in the 60's and this was explained quite clearly to 12 year olds. You cannot get around the mathematical fact that it's impossible to project a sphere onto a square without some distortion, so the question becomes - which projection is the least objectionable?
Choosing the Mercator projection was never intended to be some sort of political insult to the south, there is indeed a practical reason for choosing the Mercator projection in that the N hemisphere has a lot more land, countries, states, cities, and towns, than the south. Choosing a projection that inflates the north allows the north to be seen in finer detail, which makes sense since there is more detail to see.. But hey, they will be independent soon so they can put up their own national weather service and go back to distorting Scotland with the traditional projection they know and love.
Disclaimer: I have a late 1960's era globe in my study, a surprising number of the country labels (USSR, Ceylon, W Germany, W Pakistan, etc) are now "wrong", but the relative sizes of Scotland and Australia are still accurate.
Oz works the same way, the Governor General is the Queen's rubber stamp. The stamp is automatic and simply signifies the legislation was passed according to proper parliamentary process. The only real power she has is the ability to sack the government in the case of a double dissolution, but if that happens she must also call fresh elections. This avoids the silly situation you see in the US where the government can be forced to stop paying its regular bills by a hostile senate.
Will you people just stop with the "owners" bullshit, are people really this ignorant about how a public company operates? Cook is a substantial shareholder, the other owners listened carefully to both sides, then promptly told the other guy to fuck off. This is a non story, voting down idiots at a shareholders meeting is routine business.
Maybe because all of the other materials and equipment required to make it work.
Fill a metal container with water, plug the opening with wood, heat, collect and condense steam.
My brother and I used to do that sort of thing as kids (except the last bit). However if you take the wood out of the above method you have a normal still, villager's don't build stills because they require too much fuel.
Another simple idea that I saw on Aussie TV a while back was simply to mix a bit of charcoal into clay and make it into a pot. The resulting pot is porous, fill it with raw sewerage and the water that drips from the bottom is clean enough to drink. The idea was for anyone to be able to make these pots in the village kiln. I'm not sure how well the idea caught on, but another "low tech" idea that I admire for it's simplicity is the pot in a pot cooler has apparently been a big hit.
Yes we can and do live with offensive videos, I agree if you don't like it then don't watch it. However, I think the notoriety of the clip, the misrepresentation of the film by the producers to the actors (resulting in credible death threats against the actors), and the lack of any discernible "art", adds up to that "something special" required to pull it from major content providers such as YT. Of course it won't be "wiped from the internet" but I think they already know that, and that the best they can hope for is to get the major commercial sites to comply.
Trees all across the globe have been "migrating" pole-wards (and upwards) since about 1970, however insect pests can migrate faster. It may be just coincidence but the notorious tree-ring proxy record becomes unreliable around 1960 ( in that it diverges from the instrumental record ).
Last I heard there were over 30 thousand species of plants and animals where the records are good enough to show they have significantly shifted their range in response to the warmer climate. Trees on low plains will need to (rapidly) adapt to dryer conditions, trees on the coast will have to adapt to rising salinity. Our crops and the infrastructure used to grow them will also need to either rapidly adapt or migrate.
If humans were rabbits we would have eaten ourselves to extinction by now. Rabbits and other mammals such as deer, when left unchecked on an island will breed and eat until the entire population collapses in a mass famine. Humans however go to war over resources so total population collapse is not necessarily a foregone conclusion. The famous humans on Easter Island did not die out when they cut the last tree down but they did have a very violent disagreement that reduced their population by about 90%. When Europeans first arrived the population still had not recovered, there were a few hundred people living on the island, compared to a few thousand in its heyday.
There's no escaping the fact that the Earth is one big fucking island floating around in space. The fact that we can't find aliens with something like SETI kind of disturbs me, it seems at odds with what we know about the chemistry of life and its subsequent evolution into multicellular critters. Maybe the answer to the question "where are they" is that technological species that can make radio telescopes only last a few centuries/millennia?
Read the abstract, I'm not sure what's news here? It's certainly not the discovery that "trees make their own rain". Nor is it news that light coloured aerosols tend to reflect sunlight back into space, whereas dark coloured ones tend to absorb it and deposit most of it as heat into the ocean. Both those things have been known for decades, maybe the news is something to do with the chemistry or a better estimate of the aerosol's effect on climate, the later of which is notoriously difficult.
He objected to them "coming inside", the quote sounds to me like he actually thought the cops could not come in and arrest him. They proved him wrong by arresting him, he was not arrested for refusing a search request he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. They went back and asked the long suffering g/f if they could search HER house, had she said no I'm pretty sure they would have come back with a warrant anyway.
Everything considered it sounds to me that justice was served, particularly from the POV of the girlfriend's rights. As for the rights of the accused the question went all the way to the supreme court at great taxpayer expense. Rather than one judge vetoing his rights in the first instance with a warrant, the question of the accused rights involved at least the full bench of the supreme court and presumably a handful of lower courts. To claim his rights have been ignored is ludicrous, his claims (which basically amount to an accusation of "abuse of process") were taken as seriously as possible by the US justice system and ultimately (and IMO wisely) denied.
Prison population statistics of various nations show that here are far to many petty criminals in US jails that do not need to be there, save your indignation for those poor souls, this guy does not deserve our sympathy.
Sure you can, that's what "technically feasible" means, also other ideas may be "politically feasible" or "economically feasible" but technically batshit crazy..
The weight of the cable is significant as to how long it can be, I'm pretty sure they would have worked out the ideal width to length ratio for existing materials and come up short of what's required. A tapered cable with the tick end up might be useful as a built in counterweight
So it's really hard to see how these new forms of "distracted driving" are causing a problem
That's because any self assessment of driving performance is notoriously over-optimistic. I thought exactly the same thing about mobile phones until one day (in the early 90's) when I was driving and talking on a mobile I suddenly noticed that as I was thinking about the conversation my eyes has been upturned in a subconscious effort to block out distractions from the phone conversation! I realised I had "dropped the ball" and had not been looking at the road for several seconds. At the time I had already been driving for 20yrs but the experience scared the crap out of me in the same way as accidentally running a red light and getting away with it did (that one time), I have never used a mobile while driving since that day.
The eye behaviour does not happen (to me) when arguing with a five year old in the back seat, drivers normally learn to handle passenger interactions early. If you have ever taught your kid how to drive the first thing you will notice is how they look towards you when they are speaking and maybe glance at the road. At about the same time you realise a professional tutor who has a break peddle on his side is worth the expense. They can not pass their test if they continue to behave like that, and I'm pretty sure they would fail if they started chatting on the mobile during a test.
So after 40yrs of driving cars, trucks, trailers, and motorbikes, my opinion on distractions, for what it is worth, is - If it's not acceptable behaviour during the practical part of a driving test then it's not acceptable behaviour for a licensed driver on a public road. Of course the devil is in the detail, and since all are equal before the law, that detail needs to be in writing.
Yes, the right tool for the right job. I would not dream of using VS on unix of any flavour, our (automated) build scripts are more than just make or.sln files, there are other tools involved in the process not the least of which is the source control tool and installer tools. The actual build for any of the approximately 30 cross-platform projects and their many legacy branches, be it on unix via make, windows via msdev.exe, or windows via nmake, is just a one line call in a higher level py or sh script.

You can't hide the fact a settlement exists if it was used to dismiss a court case.

Born 1959, what a waste it would have been to spend the last 50yrs living in fear of my own species.

Homeopathy hurts more than gullible people, but even if it didn't, why is it "less evil" to hurt gullible people than it is to hurt anyone else?
