Assuming they even bother with the formality of extradition.
Remember, Sweden (like other European countries) has a record of just handing over foreign suspects to the CIA for torture.
The police took them to Bromma airport in Stockholm, and then stood aside as masked alleged CIA operatives cut their clothes from their bodies, inserted drugged suppositories in their anuses, and dressed them in diapers and overalls, handcuffed and chained them and put them on an executive jet with American registration N379P.
I don't think any extradition lawyers were present.
There's a Castle Frankenstein in Hesse, Germany. If you read the online reviews for it (e.g. TripAdvisor) , it's amazing how many people seem to think that it's the historical residence of a certain Dr. Frankenstein...
The _really_ dumb people think Frankenstein was the name of the monster, rather than the Doktor:)
IQ is certainly not a perfect metric but if we use it only in a simple way it could be used. Less than 100 IQ, can't vote.
You seem to be in the US, so that will disenfranchise 50% of whites, and 85% of blacks, according to current data. Oh yes, I can see that one going down real well. Who could possibly object?
Rather than banning people from voting, how about issuing bonus votes to people who voluntarily sit a short test? You could start at municipal level, and see how it goes.
can't even pick you up from the school parking lot in your family car if he's got a pistol in it.
Well thats a bit silly. I expect most people would ignore that rule. Its not dishonest. And that term "law-abiding" - its a funny one. Not something I hear except from very conservative Americans. Why it should be so politically loaded, I don't know. We, like you, have lots of dumb laws on the books that are dealt with by being universally ignored. Nobody here feels bad about breaking a law that is never enforced. So to be "law-abiding" might be considered unintelligent and inflexible.
young adults used to bring guns to school when they were going to the range or hunting after school (or had been hunting at dawn before school) with no perceptible problems - up to the latter half of the 20th century. Interestingly, that's when the child-rearing fads started "protecting them" from information about weapons.
In 1950's Australia, rural police would give free rifles to the local juvenile delinquent just for keeping out of trouble. As documented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... (Smiley Gets a Gun.) Of course that was a bolt-action.22, not a semi-auto or pistol.
But how many kids were "accidentally" shot ("I thought it was unloaded") ? Child mortality from accidents was much higher in those days, and somehow more accepted. Stopping unsupervised access to firearms, along with other sensible improvements like car seatbelts and pool fences have saved the lives of thousands upon thousands of children.
That totally misses the point. Planned massacres, like terrorism, make up only a very small proportion of gun deaths. The reason for keeping weapons such as knives out of schools (or anywhere else) is to reduce the chance of fights escalating and becoming deadly. It has nothing to do with the lesser problem of killing sprees.
And the idea that schools in the US even need "gun-free zone" signs is bat-shit crazy. On the other side of the world, I did not need any sign or rule to know that if I sneaked my dad's shotgun into school, I'd be facing certain suspension. (That was before secure gun safes were mandatory.)
You must not have been exposed to American culture in the 1990s.
American sports culture does not travel like movies and music. Though basketball is a lot more popular around the world than baseball, grid-iron or ice hockey, it doesn't get the same coverage as professional golf or tennis. I guess I heard the name. Turns out he was that guy in the Bugs Bunny movie I never saw it, and had those Nike shoes named after him.
I was just googling American athletes and - this is really going to freak you out (that i was unaware) - that actor and killer OJ Simpson - he used to be a grid-iron player! But I'm guessing that there are Americans who have no idea who Pelé is. Or even David Beckham?
Another option, if you want a true portable, is a Chromebook. It is easy to add a full Linux desktop which runs in a chroot, using Crouton, a bit like a lightweight virtual machine, and flick between that and the ChromeOS desktop, if you like. It means the vendor is looking after the tricky stuff like power management and wifi drivers, but you still can have a full Linux desktop of your choice.
And it helps that you can get a 4GB full-HD IPS with 9 hour battery for under $300. (Or the Pixel for a lot more.)
Funny how Americans still think of King George III as a tyrant, when in fact his powers were far more constrained by law and parliament than those of Bush II or any other recent president.
While a hostile congress makes it harder for the President to pass new laws, they are getting better and better at finding ways around the law.
every form of wildlife in Australia wants to kill you.
The real danger is in the water: great white sharks, crocodiles, blue-ring octopus, stonefish, etc. (Not to mention all the tourists that drown every year.) Land is actually quite tame - no lions, bears, wolves or tigers. No large land predators at all. I'll take my chances with a death adder over a grizzly bear any day, at least since they invented anti-venom.
This should have been in the summary. For those who don't know:
- Christian Science as a religion has strong anti-science beliefs, including rejection of modern medicine in favour of prayer. BUT...
- The CSM newspaper is a highly respected news source, mostly independent from the religion except for a daily editorial. Think of it as being sponsored by the church.
It has won seven Pulitzer Prizes.
Please don't be dumb - that's a trivial crypto problem to solve.
And no need to broadcast so wide. If a handset was registered to a city, rathe than a single cell, that is maybe a few hundred calls paged per second, with a few bytes of crypto-hashed ID per call. Not a problem. Someone who travels could register for multiple cities. The idea is definitely workable.
according to the article China is still behind on the polluter curve.
Only because the numbers are per capita. Yes, they want to reward China for being over-populated, and penalise them for controlling growth. Saying that China or India have low pollution (per capita) is like saying a Humvee is the most fuel-efficient car (per cubic inch of engine).
Or for slightly less per month based on average monthly usage, you could buy, insure and fuel an I3
I see. Its a good thing Copenhagen has plentiful free parking! (sarcasm) I think the real question is, how do they compare to taxis? These are not going to replace private cars, though it might be one part of the answer for people in the inner city.
The fault surely lay with the teacher for propagating the pain, and not dealing with it sensibly in loco parentis.
You can't just blame the teacher in isolation. The UK, more than anywhere else, has long been in the grip of a "peds under the bed" hysteria. It is a society that may have made the teacher afraid for he job if she did not report it.

They were just holding off until after the TPP was signed.

Thats odd. Most people come here to read the comments. Nobody reads TFA.
The school was designated a gun-free zone.

and if you don't know who he is....
... I must be not American and not a sports fan?
To save others googling - Jordan is a freakishly tall black American former professional basketball player.
What else is needed?
Emacs, of course. Firefox, skype, steam, ...

Besides, Air China has better food, and way cuter stewardesses.
Try Thai Airways. Even the stewards are cute.
I have been atheist/agnostic for over 50yrs, ... Unlike Isaac Newton, I have never heard them spewing religious nonsense at their audience.
So for about 90% of your life so far, you were religious?

I wonder if anyone has even tried ripping a CD with an RPi?
My Pi runs Kodi, including converting AAC 5.1 to DD/AC3, or stereo upmix, on the fly, so I don't think ripping CDs will be a challenge :)
It's about equivalent to a Pentium III.
Pi 1 or 2? In CPU and disk maybe, but the Pi does have fast graphics - will do full-HD HTPC duty, unlike your kerb find. As well as the hardware i/o.

And even those qualify the definition.
You might learn from that, as you claimed "by every definition of the word." Every one except the primary meaning?
