Yes, ice sublimes directly to vapour in the vacuum of space, but (as with Mars) it may not take much soil pressure to make subsurface rivers and lakes a real possibility. Microbes are found for at least 3KM below the surface of the Earth anywhere you choose to drill, the same could be true for an icy space rock.
They would not contradict each other had they said "location" rather than "locations", the "pinpoint" they used was likely the footprint of a portable cell tower they set up themselves. If the potable tower gives a stronger signal that the fixed commercial one then the phones will register on it and the goons can mass SMS the crowd. Communication between crowd and government is vital if you want the violence to subside, but just telling them to go home without any hint of concessions is likely to make things worse.
As for C also learn a object oriented one and a functional one.
Open K&R to and look at the design of the more complex examples, now think of the structs as classes, the struct's function pointers as methods, and the struct's variables as members, malloc() creates a new "object" and assigns it to a void pointer variable.

OO syntax in any Turing complete language is just syntactic sugar. If you're a half competent C programmer you will be using OO techniques in any flavour of C. Take another look at K&R, now realise that virtually every code example is also a very good OO design example.
As others have pointed out with links to back them up, the number of EU companies prosecuted under the same laws and the size of the fines applied, thoroughly debunks that assertion. The US is in Rome, try observing some facts about their way of life before assuming you know what they think.

You took colonised land away from a British king with the help of the French, not so impressive compared to William the Conquer who took England away from an English King.
Much of US law was founded on "English common law", the "common law" part means it's based on case history (as opposed to "civil law" which is based on written legislation and was practiced by the Romans). There's a library that houses all of English common law, it's a collection of mainly hand written court cases that goes back almost a thousand years to the days when judges would travel from town to town adjudicating on local grievances and crimes. It's said it would take an individual about 450yrs to read all of it, and it's still growing.

Utter nonsense. The modern era of surveillance was forged during WW2 and it was the Brits who taught the Yanks the tricks of the trade (particularly the code breaking stuff from Betchley Park). However I agree the US have taken to it like a fish to water and have been using it to fight proxy wars ever since.
And most of the larger dolphin brain is simply focuses on their echolocation.
That doesn't sound right to me, some bats have a brain smaller than a pea and yet they can perform similar echolocation feats as the big brained Dolphin.
Relative brain size is normally associated with social complexity and Dolphins are socially complex animals.
Also any ranking of intelligence depends on how you define "intelligent", problem solving alone is too limited since an Octopus can work out how to open a screw top lid much faster than any other animal. You simply can't compare such alien intelligences as Dolphins, Dogs, Octopus, Humans, they all have very different bodies and all perceive the world around them with very different senses.
Exactly, at 50+ I still play FPS, I wouldn't do it if it didn't occasionally get my heart pumping. Most people who lose the plot are "kids" (people under 25).
Or there could be something else causing global warming
Thanks captain obvious, here's the IPCC attribution graph. Aside from the predicted warming, numerous other phenomena have been predicted by climate models and then observed in nature, eg: "stratospheric cooling" and "polar amplification".
The last nail in the "something else" coffin was during the 50's when spectrometers became sensitive enough to see that the CO2 absorption spectra was interleaved with the H2O spectra rather that blocked by it. Back then AGW was detectable but the only reason they were looking at all was due to their inability to explain the magnitude of the ice age climate changes from orbital wobbles alone. The original warming prediction was made ~1900, both the 1900 and 1950's predictions did not take into account the growth rate of the FF burning industry, the original predicted a doubling of pre-industrial CO2 concentrations in about 3kyrs not 300yrs.
Reagan also pushed for and won an international "cap and trade" treaty for sulphur emissions which has dramatically reduced "acid rain" around the globe during the past couple of decades. Thatcher was his BFF at the time and I think it's no accident she had the same ideas, she was after all an Oxford trained chemist and was the first world leader to speak out about AGW. By today's standards Regan (and Thatcher) would be considered "too soft on greenies" to lead the republican party, kind of amazing what corporate FUD can do to peoples attitudes in such a short time.
and it puts too much power in the hands of the state.
Yes, I've been reading the replies and wondering how many people who are outraged at being spied on by the government are at the same time happy to hand them the right to kill?
Not so bad, in my 1970's HS we had hair inspections, if it was touching your collar the teacher marked a line on the back of your neck with a thick felt pen and sent you to the barber.
can the border goons compel someone to boot the machine (supplying whatever passwords are necessary to do so) to enter?
No legal power to compel, but refusal is "suspicious behaviour" and is going to fuck up your trip until some real lawyers show up and say the court battle isn't worth the prize. Your name will go on a watch list and goons the world over will give you grief for years to come, but your porn collection will remain private.
I just searched YT for "empire robotics", now YT has my metadata and the morons have nothing. I do the same when The Australian or The Age says I have read enough freebies for the months, just go elsewhere and all this crap will stop working for them
Al Qaida eventually ended up fleeing Iraq back around 2007-2009 due to the effectiveness of US forces in combating them.
I'm no fan of Saddam but he ran a secular regime and despite what Fox news claims, he kept AQ out of Iraq throughout the 80's and 90's. So if you accept that the US rid Iraq of AQ then you must also accept that US were just fixing the "power vacuum" problem they caused. Probably on day three of the war when they sacked the entire Iraqi public service (cops, teachers, firemen, paramedics, etc) and allowed looters and anarchy to reign free the next day.
Personally I think the reason Fallujah was raped so harshly was because an angry mob killed some US soldiers and put their mutilated bodies on public display, it was a brazen and bloody act of defiance against the US. The entire city was subsequently punished to clearly demonstrate who is in control and the vengeance that will be delivered if you fuck with them, how that is morally different to Saddam "punishing the Kurds" is not clear to me.
Same here in Oz, technically emergency vehicles must obey road rules even with lights and sirens on, however for some long forgotten reason the "royal mail" truck does not.

The US leads the world in the number of prisoners per capita, the UK would need roughly seven times the number of prisons it has to catch up.

No, it's already obvious the "risk manager" does not grasp the irony of posting exhibit A to Slashdot.
This would give competitors, who presumably adhere to EU law, a chance to step in and earn some revenue of their own."
Otherwise known as a "free market"..
Free = Anyone can step in.
Market = Rules of trade.
They're protecting their own economic interests.

we are all humans and we know what justice is. If a person did something horrible, then yes it's justice to do it back to them.
So how does your definition of justice differ from your definition of revenge?
