You are blind. Here is a short list of things you should be able to see, but cannot.
United States trained Iraqi torture brigade (google: iraqi wolf brigade)
Swedish judicial system is a puppet that accepts instruction from United States (google: pirate bay us cables)
United States diplomats tasked with collecting DNA samples (among other things) from their foreign counter-parts (google: us cables dna)
United States partaking in secret military action and lying to American and Yemenese citizens about it (google: us cables yemen)
Everything else I've forgotten about (this is an extemporaneously generated list, afterall)
Everything that hasn't yet been released (the vast majority of the leaked cables)
If you have trouble with the google (most blind people do), let me know and I'll spend a bunch of my time collecting links, analyzing them, distilling information, and chewing your food for you.
What part of your pathetic list constitutes corruption?
Every item on your silly list looks like looking after American interests to me. Do you thing other countries DON'T do these things?
Show me the cables about lining their own pockets with huge sums of money. Then we can talk corruption.
Until then, pretty much everyone yawned and the gossip in the cables. Even Al Jazeera yawned.
You don't want the kids texting while they are in the test? Make them hand in the cell phones and turn their pockets out.
Handing in cell phones is not going to go over well. iPhones all look the same. Too many mix ups when returning phones.
Cell phones on the desk in sight, powered off, makes more sense.
But the story had this to say:
when some students can text with their phones in their pockets
Ok I can see how a nine key texter could do that in their pocket without looking, but how fast? And who can read the replies from your off campus cheating partner?
Well it rather depends on when they got the Cease and Desist order from the Judge doesn't it?
Poulsen man not be authorized to have the logs, which themselves may carry a secret designation. After all he got them from a person working for the government at the time.
Or those logs may be harmful to the prosecution or defense case, in which case one or both lawyers may have sought protection in the form of a court order.
Speed of wandering over pre-historic time can only be measured by localized deposits of volcanic rock that was magnetized as it hardened. This can leave layers after repeated eruptions that are magnetized in different orientations.
After some 400 years of relative stability, (see: http://www.tgo.uit.no/articl/magnorpe.gif ), the North Magnetic Pole, previously wandering in a localized area, has moved nearly 1,100 kilometers out into the Arctic Ocean (in roughly a straight line) during the last century.
There is not that much difference in the total distance moved, the significance is that the direction has changed from a loop to a line.
However, prior to 400 years ago, nobody was paying that much attention, and volcanic deposits over such a time scale are not all that easy to investigate. Lots of digging in rock and stuff. I'm not sure how good the geologic record is prior to 1600s.
There has just been an official decree requiring the use of Chinese translations for all English words and phrases in newspapers, magazines and web sites.
The French have similar rules, and you know how much effect that has had.
Partisan or not, the concept has been so badly hijacked that the term Net Neutrality often means exactly the opposite of what many people THINK it means.
Both sides have grabbed the term and twisted it to their own liking. Even Geeks end up misusing the term.
Electrical pumps have been suggested previously in this thread, and they have already been shown as another unsustainable electric draw. Especially when added to tens of engine restarts per hour is stop and go traffic.
As for for being in neutral and releasing the clutch, A) who does that at a stop light?, and B) do you have any idea how few manual transmissions are sold these days?
If all else were equal, you might have had a point.
But since open source is not the same shoddy virus prone quality as any flavor of windows, all you have done is demonstrate your propensity to totally miss the point.
Then there is the issue of cost. As a tax payer, I applaud any government using linux, even when it's not my government. So should you.
There are serious questions as to whether it improves efficiency. In spite of the love of all things euro, there seems to be no real world real traffic tests of this in cold weather environments with frequent heavy start-stop traffic.
The suggested reason why US car makers haven't implemented it was simply someone's opinion. Auto makers have never actually stated this.
In US driving, with US distances, this would save nothing, because there are very few stops on freeways.
In US urban centers with frequent stops saving may be illusionary because depleted batteries in bumper to bumper stop start traffic have to be recharged by running the engine higher or longer.
In short, I suspect the Euro tests are a just-so story, where it works for them in a very narrow test case, but has never been actually measured in real world situations on their roads by typical drivers.
There is no inherent reason to trust the Euro test track mileage measures and more than the US measures. There is every reason to believe their measures are as flawed as our own, even for their own streets, but certainly for ours.
Large enterprises tend to use many low power access points. Especially in office buildings.
Walk into (or near) any office campus with your smartphone running an wifi analyzer and you will see 10s of APs (often "hidden" by not broadcasting any SSID).

Salaries aren't the main incentive in executive pay in major corporations. Ditto for Presidents.
On the other hand, I don't know many Presidents or Congressmen who retired to poverty.
You assume German law has a Fair use clause?
I don't know. Just sayin...
How bout we prove them guilty prior to dishing out punishment?

There is still the theory that once you teach someone basic it becomes impossible to teach them programming. /running and ducking...

Yeah, right.

I don't want any flavor of tablet, I wish people would stop trying to sell me one.
I don't want Breck shampoo. I wish people would stop trying to sell me some.
See how stupid it sounds?

Car rolls back into car behind you.
You ever been to San Francisco?

And if there is no Monsters from the moon?
Why the TSA fabricates a bomb in an insulated beverage container, and uses that fabricated bomb as justification for more scare tactics.
That's right, they actually built a demo unit to show how it would be done, paraded that before TV cameras.
That't right folks. The only people who have fashioned a beverage container bomb is the TSA.
If you can't measure the saving, then how can you assert that there are any?
Good luck getting home after an hour in stop and go traffic depleting your battery continuously running a pump, on top of 8 or 12 restarts per mile.
You know how fast heat from that block gets to your heater core with the water pump shut down don't you?
Something has to pump the water around. Your heater core has about 30 seconds of heat in it without hot water coming in.
Stoplight is your BEST case scenario. But even that would save next to nothing, because of re-start waste after only 30 seconds.
Traffic Jam rush hour is far more typical scenario, where real saving could be found.
Exactly.
Which is why high power WIFI is only used on factory floors, and usually only with specialized workstations.
Even large hotels simply use commercial grade low-power unlicensed APs.
It doesn't turn off the accessories, so the heater will still work.
You DO know how a Heater works, don't you?
Certainly not in any large way.
Manufacture half a million new cars with feature X, only to find you have half a million lemons to scrap.
There are thousands of experimental cars running around the US. Running on everything from battery power, fuel cells, to hydrogen.
Terrain.
Yikes, starting after a stoplight on an up-hill street could get tricky.
Large enterprises tend to use many low power access points. Especially in office buildings.
Walk into (or near) any office campus with your smartphone running an wifi analyzer and you will see 10s of APs (often "hidden" by not broadcasting any SSID).
Virtually nobody uses high power APs.
