I just learned it was, maybe not all that surprising, western nations (GB and France) who made those nations/borders in the first place..
The enemy of peace and stability have likely often been western military powers interfering and destabilizing regions.
Thats a very bold accusation, coming from someone who admits to being one article away from complete ignorance on the subject. The British and French were trustees of those lands after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. They had promised independence to the Arabs, for supporting them in WWI. What were they supposed to do? Leave the Arabs to sort out a diplomatic solution amongst themselves?
Actually it is worse. When somebody finally got around to looking at the 9.5GB proof, it started like this:
All work and no play makes HAL a dull program. All work and no play makes HAL a dull program. All work and no play makes HAL a dull program. All work and no play makes HAL a dull program. All work and no play makes HAL a dull program.
Not that old myth! What you and I call beer, the British call lager, and drink it chilled like everyone else. But there is an extra option: if you go to a real English pub, and order a traditional ale, it is served at cellar temperature. These days, lager is much more popular.
Holly: Nothing wrong with UA Army pizza. Full of goodness, full of vitamins, full of marrowbone jelly. Lasts longer than any other type of pizza, US Army pizza. Lister: Why? Holly: No bugger'll eat it. Plus, of course, the advantage of US Army pizza is that when it goes off, it tastes exactly the same as when it's fresh. Lister: Why didn't you tell me, Holly?
Now the question is, how many other NSA contractors / staff / moles / spies have been doing the same thing, without Snowden's intention to disclose their behavior?
I'm sure the NSA assumes they have moles, and none of the data Snowden released is a surprise to the Russians or Chinese. The NSA was just not prepared for the truth to leak to their real enemy - the general public.
You don't get to vote for him at all, unless you lived in his electorate, which is a safe seat anyway. It is the inner party who chooses the PM. Sounds bad, but do you really want a direct-election system like the US? I think its kind of nice when the government can actually pass laws.
Even for non-hackers, it had substantial advantages over the iPhone 3GS at the time. This was the days of IOS3, when copy&paste was considered a cutting-edge feature, and multi-tasking was only allowed for Apple's own built-in apps. Only later when the iphone4 with retina display, and IOS4 came out, did the n900 start looking old. Of course there was a price in thickness and weight for all the extra hardware features of the n900.
How many Europeans know only one language? How many Indians or Chineese?
Huge numbers of British and Chinese (from regions where Mandarin is the first language) for a start. Studying a foreign language in high school is a long way short of being bilingual, but it does help you understand your own language, and human communication in general, in a way that Perl does not.
Unless they are really really fundamentalist and think of heaven as being physically up, hell physically down.
Yes, the bible is very clear on that. Heaven is a physical place above the clouds, where Jesus, Mary, a few others and the angels exist in material form, and more human bodies will join them come judgement day. Beyond the firmament of heaven is the waters above.
Just a luck guess. It could easily have been South Africa, or anywhere in Latin America. US gun violence is only high by the standards of the developed world.
Don't confuse the questions of "should I wear a helmet" with "should helmets be compulsory". Same with drugs - laws can make things worse, despite good intentions.

Yeah, yeah, but your psychologists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
What if it starts breeding? Have they learned nothing from the Fake Irish Pub plague that has ravaged the world?
The British don't drink their beer ice cold.

The China National Space Administration has already announced they will no longer be sourcing components via Alibaba or eBay.
State rights?
If states really had any rights, they would have been allowed to secede in 1861, and no longer be a problem.

Who'd have thought? Experienced IT guy didn't manually download each file!?
"Inexpensive and widely available" - I hope they don't mean some evil subversive communist open-source tool.
Even so, can't they just drive a bit further out to sea before pressing the "dump" button?
No, because there is this big reef in the way, that forms a rather great barrier.
If you don't want a party leader to be prime minister, don't vote for the party.
You are far more likely to affect the result in your local seat than in the nation.
Would you vote for Craig Thomson because you dislike Abbott?
The final straw that gave them away was that they were trying to print $100 bills, but they came off the press as $89.95 bills.
whereas real US bills are $121.50, with tax and service.

The Marine Park is 345,000 square km - the size of Germany!
I'm sure they can find somewhere suitable.

Good question. At least there is little room for confusion on the 90-day objective.
To those who say some variation of "American can't build them like they used to", I say "top that!"
But that was more than 10 years ago. They don't build 'em like that any more.
Super-Ob xkcd.
Maybe, but good luck next time you're in a foreign country trying to buy food using for loops and if statements.
Not a problem in Kentucky. Most of them don't even own passports.

So what level of rudeness deserves the death penalty?
Not sure, but answering the phone during the movie would definitely be over that line.

A simple beam-balance scale can measure mass unaffected by gravity variations. You just need a reference mass.
There are some consumer technology areas where the Japanese still dominate.
