Chloride? Fortunately not everywhere. In western Europe most countries use hydrogen peroxide, because afterward you can still drink the water and don't need expensive water in bottles.
No, chlorine, not -ide. Widely used for municipal water supplies. Not sure what you are talking about.
Botswana has ten times the income, 85% literacy, and decent medical facilities, but just about the highest HIV rate in Africa. People are still struggling to prove various explanations. Epidemeology is really hard.
Rampant corruption and poverty is only part of the problem.
Botswana is widely considered the least corrupt country in Africa, and the most prosperous sub-Saharan country. But they have been completely unable to control the AIDS epidemic, with up to a quarter of the country infected. Botswana has gone from having one of the highest sub-Saharan life expectancies to one of the lowest. Unhealthy habits can be very hard to change, even in a relatively prosperous and well-governed country.
Given the sad history of AIDS in Africa, it is hard to be optimistic about ebola control.
Can't tell if that was a parody, or serious. Either way, a great example of the bizarre twisted logic that zealots employ. We always expect new models to improve on previous ones, both from the same company and competitors.
The whole point is that Apple won't include it unless it has a worthwhile use. Other companies play spec wars where there is no practical use of a technology for users. Apple doesn't.
Too right. Before Apple added support for copy-and-paste, MMS, multi-tasking, high-res or bluetooth, they were just useless gimmicks on other platforms.
Furthermore, one of their stated goals is that they want to destroy the US.
You have that backwards. The US wants to destroy ISIS. Even if some ISIS spokesman was accurately translated as aiming to destroy the US, how could anyone possibly take it seriously? Similar absurd claims were made about Al Qaeda, when bin Laden just wanted Americans out of Saudi Arabia, and the middle east generally.
Just planning or speaking about heinous crimes is enough to get you nickes, again, as it should be.
No it will not. One person planning a crime, even bragging about it, is not conspiracy. It could just be a fantasy. Lots of people imagine ways of killing someone, but never do it. The crime is conspiracy, which means more than one person planning it together. To charge one person acting alone, he would have to have gone beyond planning, e.g. purchasing bomb ingredients.
I wouldn't refer to Asperger's simplistically as a "problem".
By definition, it kind of is. Asperger's is a diagnosis, and requires "clinically significant impairment in functioning". Without that, you are just a bit nerdy.
Their cores remain small — about 12.5 miles across
Looks like a vague "20km" gained a couple of orders of magnitude in precision (2 extra significant figures). This is bad journalism even when its not science.

I cannot see anything official that says what the display tech will be. Rumours of a curved OLED are obviously false. Or are Apple sticking with LCD on both phone and watch? I really loved the always-on notifications on my old Nokia N9 oled. (dim standby) Oh well, at least they have NFC now.
These are WOUNDED veterans. That means they were injured trying to help preserve your right to be a complete asshole.
Wounded helping preserve your right to drive a 2-tonne SUV. American's can be assholes without any help from the middle east. (though the likes of ISIS could give some lessons in advanced skills.)
My friends in the service are not dumb jar heads. They all know exactly what is going on, better than you in fact since they are actually there.
So they knew what was happening and chose to join in anyway? That makes it worse. There is so much blood on their hands, and I'm afraid we still have not seen the worst of it.
It does not matter how good your password is, if it can be reset by anyone researching the answer to Apple's "security questions", like: - What was the model of your first car? - What was your childhood nickname? - In what city did your parents first meet?
Never mind social engineering, a lot of those could be answered by Google for a starlet.
Let me ask you... European governments are strong arming various USA states on the death penalty by both enforcing patents and not selling drugs. What are your feelings on this?
Hardly the same - they just don't want the US states using their *medicines* to kill. Its not like they are threatening tariffs on Texas exports. You could probably shoot the prisoners with EU-made bullets, as those are designed to kill, not heal.
You think they do not get gov't contracts in other countries now? And there would still be a US subsidiary for that purpose if needed.
That doesn't apply to much to Europe as Europe has reasonably copyright laws.
You'd think "life plus 50 years" would be reasonable enough, but the US has been strong-arming countries to extent copyright 20 years. (until the next extension)
No it doesn't. Microsoft is a US entity. They aren't European.
MS is a multi-national. They could move their HQ to Ireland next week, for tax purposes, and not much would change.
The USA doesn't shove their laws down other countries throats. You don't want USA law don't buy USA products.
As slashdot readers should know, the USA frequently shoves its copyright laws for a start. The problem is not so much in buying USA products, as "If you want to be able to sell anything in the US market, here are a bunch of laws we need you to adopt before getting our 'free' trade agreement. "
How is "Pakis" offensive? It is clearly an abbreviation of "Pakistanis",.
Its offensive because they are probably actually Indians. Like calling you a Kiwi. Apparently the pommy bastards ( a term of endearment) don't know the difference.

But OS-X still has it, oddly.

Apple users are such whiners. If 16GB is not enough, just insert a TF card.

I for one welcome our new overlords from the United Kingdom of Little Britain and Northern Ireland.
"Great Britain" refers to the largest of the British Isles, and "Little Britain" was Ireland in Roman times.

Then why, when I visit atheist websites sites, atheist discussion forums, and talk with local atheists, that's all they want to talk about?
Yes, just like when you visit the websites devoted to "white people", and discover that all white people are racists obsessed with Hitler?
Mmmm... I do not think you have a representative sample.

Just another reminder to use strong passwords,
It does not matter how good your password is, if it can be reset by anyone researching the answer to Apple's "security questions", like:
- What was the model of your first car?
- What was your childhood nickname?
- In what city did your parents first meet?

There were no riots over OJ because he was acquitted.
But if he had been convicted, large race-riots were expected.

The fact that so many experts on the disease die of it
TFS is misleading; no experts have died. The "authors" is a very long list of names, like the credits at the end of a movie.
Actually, real pros use
cat > filename
then type Ctrl-d when done.
Type? Amateur hour! Real pros just whistle into the modem.
The only Bacteria that are scary are anti-biotic resistant ones ..
So all that fuss over anthrax was misguided? Nothing scary, nothing to worry about?
