I don't know how true it is, but I've been told that HR droids routinely translate that into "Must have..." because it makes things easier for them. Of course, that means that you'll never see a whole bunch of people you'd be happy to hire, but that's not their problem, is it?
The big problem with explosive-sniffing dogs is that what they're smelling isn't the explosives it's the nitrates used in them. If you've been working with fertilizer and haven't washed your hands, the dog will respond the same way as it would to explosives. I don't know about the drug-sniffers, but I suspect that there are similar issues with them.
The whole point is that the fact that they do something in Europe, or do it in a certain way, isn't really relevant to the question of whether or not we should do things that way in the USA. Much more important is whether or not doing that will benefit us.
Modern firefights usually involve more bullets going down range too.
Imagine how rare it must have been for two Civil War bullets to collide and fuse. Imagine how few of those that do ever get found. Now, consider the fact that they've found at least a dozen of them at Gettysburg, and that will tell you how intense the fighting was.

Xfce 4.12 Released

It's probably because many users of XFCE don't need all the extra functions of other DEs and don't realize that other people do.
I use Xfce for a number of reasons. One of them is the fact that it's easy to customize without installing third-party extensions. I also like the fact that if your needs are simple you can get rid of bells, whistles and gongs that you don't need. However, I fully understand that there are people who either need or want those tools (If anybody should understand that it's me; I use Compiz because I like the flashy desktop effects.) and I appreciate the fact that they're there if you need or want them. For me, one of the important traits of Linux is the ability to decide for yourself what tools you need or want instead of being stuck with what the developers think you want and I'll probably stick with Xfce as long as that's what it provides.
Only if they prioritize based on content. They can always base the priority on the source or destination of the packet, ignoring the content. Not that I'd approve of that either, but it's not only possible, it's faster and simpler than opening the package.
Not only are there orphan drugs, there are orphan diseases, one of which is MS. One of the major drugs used to control this is Avonex. Check out the cost of a monthly supply, and note that a monthly supply consists of exactly four doses. About the only way anybody but the 1% can afford it is the fact that if you're using it you're automatically eligible for Medicare, SSI and whatever assistance your state offers. And, I suspect that if that weren't the case, the price would drop dramatically because without the subsidies there wouldn't be any market for it.
I can see how they'll keep track of your DNS queries if you use their servers. If you don't, they'll either have to examine all outgoing traffic on Port 53, or block the port altogether, rather like they do with Port 25 to control email relaying by spammers. My guess is they'll just go for the blocking because it's easier, and because most customers won't know the difference anyway.
In theory, at least, you patch or update the software image on disk and this allows the working copy in RAM to use those patches without being restarted. Thus, if and when you need to reboot, what you load is functionally identical to what you were running before. Of course, that's only in theory. In practice, there's always the possibility that what you get at reboot won't be quite the same as what you had before because of some sort of read/write glitch that slipped past the error checking and mucks things up. Yes, that can happen now, but if you need to reboot to get (let's say) a new kernel running, you don't have to wait for an emergency to find out and, you may be able to reboot into an older, working version until things get corrected. I didn't RTFA, so I don't know if this new process leaves you with a backup version or not.
But really, what is the point of looking at what you did 6 months ago?
Good question. Let's say that they suspect you of money laundering, but have no admissible proof. If they can examine your old emails, they may find evidence that you were laundering money back then and use that to get a warrant to read your current emails. In effect, this is pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps and making an end-run around the intent of the requirement for a warrant. This law would block that loophole and make the law work the way it was always intended to work.
He's well behind Clinton (400+ by his own admission)...
That works out to just under once a week. I've never been a fan of either Clinton or Obama, but that's not unreasonable at all when you break it down that way. And, if they don't use a golf cart, it's good exercise.
I have a friend who's been legally blind all of her life. She has a Kindle and finds it very easy to use and read because she knows how to adjust the text size to what she needs. I have a high-end Nook that I'm very fond of. I've let my friend experiment with it and she told me that if she didn't have a Kindle, she could get along just fine with my Nook. Depending on just what you need, either one may be the right answer for you.
Why not measure all the way back to the Medieval Warming period?
The reason they don't take it that far back is that then they'd have to use data from the Little Ice Age, and explain why that happened. This way, they can ignore those inconvenient truths.
If all that hatred came from moral indignation, why is it that almost all of the protesters were college students who were worried about keeping their student deferments. Somehow the 4-F's were drastically under-represented, possibly because they didn't have to worry about the draft.
Incidentally, since you're judging others from such a high horse, when did you serve and what battle ribbons did you earn? Or perhaps you didn't serve at all.
I spent over 7 months in Tonkin Gulf in '72, most of it on the Gun Line doing shore bombardment, and I have the service-connected hearing loss as a souvenir. My ship was one of the 38 that helped throw back the NVA during the Easter Offensive by taking advantage of the fact that their plans had completely ignored the fact that the USN completely controlled the eastern flank of the battlefield.
And, as far as how we were treated by the anti-war movement, I must congratulate you on your selective memory.
Why does opposition to war automatically mean you're anti-military and vilifying soldiers?
Nobody ever said that it does, and there are many people today who oppose our nation's current overseas adventures but support the troops. However, back during 'Nam, that wasn't true, and those who opposed the war (mostly because they didn't want to be drafted) constantly showed their hatred of anybody in the US Armed Forces.
Only once every 40 years or so. Not so wrong in reality, for most applications anyway.
No, Leap Seconds are added at irregular intervals to adjust for the slowing down of the Earth's rotation. The last one was added on June 30, 2012, only three years before this one. The 40 years you're referring to is how long the system has been in place. Do try to keep up.
I never claimed that I was rebutting the statement that "cocoa without sugar is nasty." My intent was to point out an exception to the claim, which I did.
If you use enough cocoa that you can actually taste it as such, you've put at least three times as much on as is needed. One generous pinch per side is ample.

Do they mean that its volume is 50% more than we'd thought, or its mass? Judging from TFS, I'd guess the former, but as written, it's ambiguous.

Just remember this the next time you see a post claiming that we should be doing things the way they do in Europe.
I live in California and am stuck observing it whether I want to or not. Our cats, however, ignore it completely.

I never said that blocking outbound DNS queries would be a good idea, just that some PHB might think it was a clever thing to do.
