Disclosure: Dad was the arson inspector for my old home town.
Not a poor arsonist, just unfamiliar.
Put just one sheet of newspaper, crumpled into a ball and ignited, under the seat.
One pound of foam rubber seat cushion is equal to one pound of gasoline. The car will burn completely down to the frame, the rims will melt, and there will be absolutely no evidence of how it was done. That's because the ashes of the paper will either be obliterated by the firefighting water, or the air turbulence of the fire itself.
Here is the dastardly flash file in question. Pretty straightforward? Rather nice, actually? Scrolling and enlarging is functional and intuitive? My machine is ancient, yet it handled things quite well. Naturally, it won't cross the walled garden of Apple, but I suppose we all pay our little prices for our little vices.
If you are using NoScript, you get a list of HTML files, and no pictures.
Here is the PDF file. You can perform a copy and paste with no trouble? And if you have an impairment that prevents you from reading it, the file is accessible to your text-to-speech software.
The actual text of the files in question seems rather bland, really? There's nothing earth-shattering or unexpected, since the real meat & potatoes of each presentation was verbal, not written.
Yes, I'd noticed the lack of disabled adverts also.
My only gripe about mod points is that the system always seems to give them to me on a FRIDAY! I don't read Slashdot on weekends, dammit! I only read it when I'm at work!
Very soon now, some mayor or police commissioner is going to get their claws on an ADS Truck, and they're going to use it. Probably at the G8 or G20 protests at some point.
The Agent Provocateurs will be out in force on Friday night, smashing windows and setting fire to police cars in the downtown area. Innit funny how all those "ruffians" seem to be wearing expensive combat boots from Bates and Rocky? Then on Saturday, the families will come out to have their protests. And because of all the "damage" and "wanton destruction" from the night before, the police will be "authorized" to use physical force.
And when you have a brand new toy, you just KNOW they're gonna use it.
All of the test videos for the ADS system show a group of 10-15 guys who look like they work out and run 10 miles a day. And they're in a 20-acre open field. It's going to be real interesting to see what happens when the ADS is used against a crowd of out-of-shape civilians that include children and women with baby carriages. In crowded city streets, with curbs, lamp posts, garbage cans and cars.
Oh, and I bet the officers at the controls aren't going to show the same restraint as the highly-bribed scientists from the test videos. They're gonna crank that dial all the way up to 11.
I imagine seeing a few dozen people crushed to death by the panicked mob, and then a hospital full of people with 1st and 2nd degree radiation burns will be alllll we need to start a war.
Have a look at precisely what happens to all of this spectacular bounty of surplus food we could be using to feed starving people. Pay particular attention at 52:10, where Karl Otrok, Director of Production for Pioneer in Romania, explains how things REALLY are...
"It can be preserved, it could be sent to third countries, to countries that really need it, but it doesn't get sent there. It gets sent back to us, and we've got more than enough to eat...and don't need it at all."
At little later, he explains things a bit more clearly...
"When 100,000 people die of starvation, its said we can't feed them, or is it just that we don't want to feed them? From where does the money come from? From the poor! The rich won't let go of their money, only the poor. That's how it is. And it's the same with food; we let them die so we can live. "
After you get done with that, you can comment on the billions of farm subsidies the US and EU governments pay to industrial farmers, so they can undersell everyone else by two-thirds.
The GM plants they're destroying are trying to make it easier for the farmer to plant more crops with less effort and greater use of artificial fertilizers.
I would actually welcome the opportunity to spend 8 weeks on a fully-organic, self-sustainable farm.
FTA: However, he (Lord Neuberger) warned that modern technology was "totally out of control" and society should consider other ways to bring Twitter and other websites under control.
Personally, I think Lord Neuberger and those like him are the ones that need to be brought under control.
It didn't vanish on it's own. It was taken down by a very concerted attack by criminals who resented it's success.
I thought I'd read somewhere that PharmaMaster had been relieved of his gray matter by a "common street thug" wielding a ball-peen hammer and a desire for easy cash.
With respect, Germany already had their run-in with religion.
It did not go very well.
However, they learned a great deal, and one of the things they figured out from all of it, was that when it comes to people's religion, you keep your hands OFF their religion.
The USA has not had its own "run in" with religion. But don't worry, we will. This little dust up in Texas is how it all starts.
I remember a time when a cop had to use patience and discussion to diffuse rough situations.
When was this time, precisely? Because my father can remember all the way back to the 1930's, when cops used to shoot people all the time. Back then, GUNS were the tools of compliance, and if you didn't comply, you got shot.
Once it became socially unacceptable to leave someone laying in a spreading pool of blood, they started using truncheons to enforce compliance. At least those will take more than a few hits to kill you.
Make trip to Ikea, HomeDepot or some other hardware store and then try to carry your purchase home on the subway or bus. I have. Bought a plastic 5-shelf storage shelf for a friend, then walked 3 blocks to the subway, took the subway to Queens Blvd, then walked four blocks back to his house. Didn't have enough for a cab.
Lemme tell you, it SUCKED. I had a backpack, and with some ropes, I was able to make a carrying sling for it, but it was still like hauling a fricking steamer trunk on your back.
If I'd been spotted by Transit Security, they'd have booted me from the train, because it was way too big to be carrying on the subway.
Honestly, at this point, I don't think the Republicans give a damn anymore.
It's like they have a plan, know what their goal is, and are pushing forward as fast as they can because they already know the outcome. Almost as if they're paving the way for whoever comes after they've been voted out.
HCP can save $$ by predicting a pre-emergent condition that will cost less to treat if nipped in the bud.
Or...
HCP can save $$$$$$$$ by taking the patient's money, and then dumping the patient at a statistically predicted time when the pre-emergent condition can be expected to start manifesting.

You don't wanna beat up your own people.
Sorry, but those "anarchists and professional criminals" aren't who you think they are.
Those weren't hooligans or anarchists, those were the police.

This post seems much ado about nothing.
Your .sig gives this post a whole world of new meanings...

That should take 50-75 years to overturn, if we are lucky.
No, just a few pitched gun-battles between a few police stations and a few hundred pissed-off and heavily-armed citizens.
That law'll get changed lickety-split.
2. When I do break the law, I generally don't get caught.
I'd say "We can fix that for you," but I pretty much think you did it yourself, dude. You get +1 Darwin Award.
Don't worry, it will happen.

Ah, precisely WHAT "billions of people"?
Have a watch of "We Feed The World", by Erwin Wagenhofer.

Well, that's the point they're trying to make?

In the US, they would have shot the guinea pigs.
I wish I were joking.

Hijacking? Kidnapping??? Who IS this guy, Donald Rumsfeld using a nom-de-plume? Or perhaps a nom-deguerre as the case may be.
How about just saying someone could use it for mischief, instead of giving us the Ultimate Doomsday of Deadly Doom?
Congratulations.
You have just met the GNAA.
You may cry now.
Jamie want big boom! Or splat, as the case may be?

I just looooove how you automagically presume that a protest is a "riot".
Tell you what, Pedestrian Boy...
