That's a bad idea, and a misleading one at that. It would show how "horrific" executions are in order to sway public opinion against capital punishment.
In the civilized world, we know that the death of another person is wrong. But sometimes, exceptions must be made for those who've renounced their humanity voluntarily and commit egregious crimes. It doesn't mean that we have to be barbaric in the process of carrying out an execution however.
I'm a firm believer that the death penalty should be quick and painless in a civilized manor. Gore need not apply.
Agreed. But the least you could do is review the accreditation of the people involved in the medical community. Not something that sounds like a corner tattoo parlor shop.
When the commander in chief tell you to jump, you ask "how high". In other words, when serving the military, you don't decide whether or not to engage in warfare. If you can't handle active duty, don't join the military. It's a service, not welfare.
Secondly, these soldiers didn't even take the time to properly identify their target, and then some. They committed actions of great dishonor. They should be shunned (and punished) by their fellow citizens. Soldiers should also be praised when they serve their country well. Clearly, they did not in this incident.
First and foremost, we are there under the auspices of national security for obvious reasons.
The only reasonable goal at autonomy is by displacing the Taliban and laying the groundwork for a future, viable civilization. The general idea is that idle hands = bad. If we can help them help themselves to working a 1 Trillion Dollar industry, that could (in theory) provide a level of civil stability currently enjoyed by capitalist nations (including China). If that happens, that's far less money we would have to spend on the Afgan theater of war.
The military guys seem to have a very elitist attitude about the whole thing
No, they are genuinely scared about it. Not from the enemy, but buy their own citizens.
It's one thing to be hated by a country you're fighting in. It's quite another to be hated/disowned by the country your FROM. Review the Vietnam protests for example.
The oil in the ground is from locked up plant/animal matter. So if the O2/CO2 levels have been in balance for millions of years, where in the hell did the additional CO2 come from as the previous amount was being locked up in oil? Space?
That's why I work for an outsourced IT service provider. When we work for a new client, it's either because of a positive referral, or their shit broke and are scrambling through the yellow pages (online too) calling everyone in town in a mode of panic. So ya, no shit! No one wants to spend money to be pro-active unless they can be mathematically convinced it will save money or help them earn more by being efficient. Other wise, all work is reactionary.
But the real killer is when the client bitches about cost. I mean, WTF?!!! You SAVED money by not having a full-time IT staff, right? So they say...
They would then be sued for causing false alarm, loss productivity of a city, looting, and perhaps increase in homicide rate during the evacuation period. As a geologist, you would be setup to fail regardless.
I'm 33, have seen the rise of the dial-up BBS, Internet boom of the 90s, and still work in the IT industry. I don't have a MySpace, Facebook, or Twitter account. The only social networking that comes even close is Slashdot and the occasional postings on in other forums. Even so, I'm still relatively anonymous with the exception of what I tell you, and my online handle.
Is it me, or am I the only one that could get a rats ass about these social networking sites. Some how, I feel like *I'm* the odd ball here with all the hype surrounding these sites.
In the program Future Weapons: EMP Bomb. They debunked that myth with a test. The host drove his car under an EMP device. When the technician flipped the switch, the car died (fried gates in the IC chips of the ECU). Only thing working were hardwired equipment to the battery (windows, lights, etc).
If an EMP of that strength is unleashed, almost everyone will be stepping out of their car, and WALKING off the freeway! It could take months of not years to tow the dead machines off public roadways.
Why go up when you can come back down? A Relativistic Kill Vehicle (RKV) might be in the works at that point. You think the H-Bomb was nasty? How about heaping dose of KE slammed into a continent of your choice.
Ahh Humans. We love to create as much as we love to destroy.
I would imagine at high speeds, cosmic dust would "sand blast" the hull of a space craft. So being inside the vessel, you might here its impact. Which is why you would need sci-fi shield technology when traveling FTL, unless you want to partake in your own epic explosive demise.
You should be using headlamps when driving on public roadways. Absolutely. But if you're driving off-road out in the desert or grassy field, headlights may become a hindrance.
They have those in Shanghai too and perhaps all of China. Electricity is expensive, especially when you're not paying a separate electric bill for a hotel. They earn a profit by saving money.
Depending on the phase of the moon, that could very well be true. I've noticed that on a full moon, I could much further out including silhouettes of every obstacle. With headlights however, the level of detail, color, and clarity is superior...but only where it shines. Because my pupils are now constricted, I no longer see anything else in the dark (where the light is not shining).
Adobe is using this as an excuse as to why Flash on OS X sucks.
See, I don't get it. I thought Adobe was begging Apple to get Flash on the iPhone. Why would they drop the ball on providing proper OS X support? What the hell is going on over at Adobe anyways?

It's been my experience that hosting 32bit print drivers on a 64bit server is iffy at best. Same goes for hosting 64bit print drivers on a 32bit server. Specifically the Xerox and HP print drivers.
Sometimes, you have no choice but to install the printers locally using an virtual IP printing port.
I've ran into this worm before (or one like it). One of my clients got an external HDD full of video data. They're into video production (not porn), so often they will require data from their clients. Anyways, this worm hides in a fake Recycle Bin folder which is executed by the autorun.inf file. In turn, the infected PC will replicate to all possible drive letters. Once on a server share, all other clients will soon get infected.
It's real annoying. But if all your PCs and Servers have an up-to-date anti-virus scanner, it they should now all prevent from getting infected.
It might get to the point where cheap metal is worth more than the Penny itself. When that happens, I expect the Nickel (5 cents) to be the lowest denomination issued from that point forward.
I'm not sure how financial institutions will feel about the new rounding off to the nearest 5 cents though.

Because the use of a guillotine is messy. As a witness, do you really want to see blood squirt after decapitation?

I'm sure Yahoo has the answer to that. Just ask this guy.

Tiananmen Square, June 3, 1989. Did that event not solidify exactly what the hell is going on there? Your attempt at moral relativism is pathetic.
Now before you all start calling me names, I have a serious question to ask.
Could this by any chance have to do with the increase in homosexuality?
I've also heard that this behavior is due to a dense population (too many frogs in the pond theory) or perhaps we're just a more open society.
