RTFA. It means: "kissing her and groping under her skirt" while the woman wakes up from blacking out.
They were kissing, and she claims she was too drunk to remember what happened before that. There is no evidence that she was passed out. By itself, it proves nothing, however other women since reported similar stories.
When work colleagues are away from home, drinking heavily, and in one of the most romantic cities on Earth, things are bound to happen. Some of them will be regretted. There is a simple old-fashioned way to avoid such problems: chaperones. If the university does not want such encounters, ban the assistants from being alone with their bosses after hours or after drinking. If they stay in groups of two or more, they are safer. And it protects the professor from change-of-mind allegations.
A fact of life is that middle-aged men are extremely vulnerable to approaches from young attractive women. They need protecting, just as young employees need protection from those with power over them.
So if he gets off, gets his passport back, then what?
Well, we know where he advised Edward Snowden that was safe from CIA black ops, and it's not Equador. I'm betting Assange has spent some of the last few years learning Russian.
But our government is called the "British Government" even though it governs the whole United Kingdom, not just the island of Great Britain.
"Great Britain" refers to the largest of the British Isles. Ireland is also British, once known as Little Britain. They'll probably still call it the British Government after Scotland secedes, so as not to upset the Welsh.
I thought they meant something far more dangerous - the backhoe. The ultimate denial-of-service tool. Remember a few years ago some woman in Georgia took a whole country off the internet?
The sarin/taurin rockets, mustard shells - they're real. And horrifying. But 'WMD' ?
More relevant, these were very old stockpiles, leftovers from the Iran-Iraq war. Probably useless. As the line goes, the West already had proof of those older weapons because they'd kept the receipts. They were not evidence of any renewed domestic weapons program, as claimed by the Neocons.
They *already* do this, not because they're scanning things, but because they index files on their hashes in the first place.
Yes, I thought that was obvious. Do people think Google really stores a million copies of that cat video that has been emailed around? At the very least, they must index hashes on whole files.
The hypothetical sounds a bit like "if you could strangle Hitler as a baby". Sure we would, but the precedent is of concern.
This "Its a private company, it can do what it wants" attitude is an odd idea. Are you American? Can a private citizen do whatever he wants? And BTW, Google is a public company, not private.
A theoretical future where technology has advanced in unimaginable ways, but we are unable to go back to the moon for more samples? Incon... oh wait, we're there already.
And now we have clear racist attitudes towards supposed "Muslims invaders" with higher birthrates somehow "extinguishing" local culture.
I don't see how that is racist, any more than feeling sad about Tibet, or the destruction of American Indian or Australian Aboriginal culture.
Let me get to some facts: 3.8% of the EU population is currently Muslim.
And rising rapidly. 10% of babies in the UK are now muslim, and Mohammed is the most common boys name in England. The English are now a minority in London. This is the biggest change since the Normans invaded a thousand years ago.
Yet as of 2012, Hispanics and Latinos make up about 17% of the total U.S. population.
Yes, this is having a huge effect on the US. IMHO, the racial mix is the defining attribute that makes American politics different to Canadian. The large racial minorities have shaped America's conservative attitudes to crime, guns, welfare. (I'm not saying it is a rational response.)
I suspect the US will end up a lot more like Brazil than it is now, i.e. with increasing inequity and corruption.
Muslims and other immigrants are just the highly-visible part of a bigger problem. Smart educated capable people are dying out, while less intelligent, uneducated and criminal classes are outbreeding them. The same is happening within both Muslim and white european societies, and globally. Also, the woman in the black hijab with 6 kids under 8 is a lot more visible than the 30yo muslim woman in the business dress who has not started a family yet.
the more we learn about our distant ancestors, the more they turn out to have been resourceful and clever.
Hardly. The 30,000y figure was simply the oldest known evidence. And people back then were extremely brutish compared to modern humans. While new discoveries push back the date of migration, there have been no surprises - no evidence of navigation, pottery or agriculture, just primitive stone tools. Compare even to the Polynesian expansion in the Pacific in recent millennia and there is a world of difference.
Oops, I was quoting figures for the B83, which you said could destroy large cities, not the monster (long retired) B41, where the numbers are closer.
It looks like the actual city limits of Sydney are only a tiny fraction of that, less than a mile in diameter.
I think that's a postal suburb, part of the CBD. Even the municipality of Sydney is 25km2. "Greater Sydney" as you might call it, is 100km across. That's what we mean by a large city. We don't have "city limits".
I'm Australian, so "large city" means fifty times that area. And "vaporize" does not mean blast-wave damage.
For perspective, if such a weapon were targeted at Lower Manhattan, it would totally destroy everything from Newark to Queens
Looking at map... you are talking 20km away . Several kPa / 1psi. That's a bit of storm damage, not destruction (5psi). A huge difference - what is your source?

Athletes don't really swim in Rio. They just go through the motions.
This is why the judges should be determined by public vote and stay in office no longer than eight years.
Because that works so well for presidential nominees??

Though it still does not explain why induction might be better than using a conventional dock, especially for an automated car.
After a short time, federal authorities and US authorities were involved in the case (for a STD test!) ...
You can see why this will never be made into a Hollywood movie - it's too implausible.

Can't someone build a $5 jammer and whoever is controlling a drone no longer can?
Drones by definition have GPS and autopilot. You are thinking of remote-control aircraft.

Unfounded fear.
Your wishful thinking is unfounded, and could do with a history lesson.

For example, Wikipedia says the B41 could destroy reinforced structures in an 8-mile radius and houses in a 15-mile radius.
It does? Where do you get that? I'm seeing 2.4km and 6km (5psi, 4 mile?) respectively.
