Not all Europeans live and work in just one country. A bunch of us treat Europe as just one country, as it pretty much is. I moved from one country to another without filling in a single piece of paper, or any arrangements before-hand, just as I would if moving in the same country. So a fairer comparison would be the US with the EU.
A scientific theory must be falsifiable. ID cannot be demonstrated to be untrue, as it's so vague it could mean anything, which renders it just a theory. Evolution, however, can indeed be demonstrated to be false, and as yet has not been.
You can easily start up and terminate instances using the utilities they provide, or the API. Your heartbeat server would easily be able to (re)start instances. Just create and configure your "blank" EC2 and use the utilities provided to upload the image of that EC2 to S3, then use the code it returns when creating instances, and that image will be loaded automatically. EC2+S3 is very powerful, in my opinion. But then that's me. I'm using it to process videos in a queue. I can start and stop instances depending on how many items are in the queue (or even have one instance per item in the queue - it's the same price), and only pay for the time the instances are actually being used. Empty queue = no instances = free.
I'm currently developing a web-based specialised video sharing site, and I'm going to use EC2 to convert uploaded videos to.flv (and possibly h264, spec depending). That way, the main web server can create new instances should the upload queue get too long, and close them down when the queue is empty. The user uploads their videos directly to the S3 service, and get added to the queue. Each EC2, when booted, asks the web server for a video to process, and all the instances continue munching on the queue until it's empty, at which point all the instances close down. That way we don't pay for EC2 unless we actually need it.
I didn't get how to use these services before, but now I've seen the light. It's not necessarily the technologies themselves, but how Amazon lets you interact with them. The only problem with any of this is that the S3 service doesn't have a way to move files between buckets, rename them, or edit metadata, without having to upload the object again.
The fact you call it an evolution kind of adds weight to the parent's post. He's just a candidate. And his supporters were all over the place. Which showed when push came to shove and he went nowhere.
To convert those positions into the metric political spectrum from the imperial, move everything over to the right a fair bit, and you'll get a much more accurate view of where these candidates stand on a global level.
I bought a 1st gen iPod because it had Firewire, which as an MP3 player, was essential. All the other MP3 players out at the time had USB1 interfaces, which meant copying music took ages. The interface on the iPod was excellent, but adding MP3s to the device was terrible.
As for the iPhone, its interface is fantastic. It's hands-down the best interface out there on a phone. The problem is it's an interface to an inferior product. I'd rather have a worse interface on a more-functioning product, especially when I can use it invisibly (such as sharing the 3G connection on my phone via wifi, where I don't even need to have the phone out of my pocket).
That gun was terrible. How many rounds did it take for it to shoot down one mortar? And where do those rounds land? That night test showed it basically shooting directly down the range, just above ground level. Using that anywhere near civilians would end up with some getting shredded, surely.
So those guys who fire the rockets will see them get blown up, and then stop wanting to attack them? They'll just find some other way of attacking. The only way to stop the rockets is to fix the reason why those guys want to shoot the rockets in the first place. Anything else is just temporary, and will eventually cause an escalation.
How DARE they persecute people violating the law?!? That's DISGUSTING. I'm going to CAPITALISE every few words to EMPHASISE how ANGRY I am at this OBVIOUS OUTRAGE. HORRIFIC.
Seriously - some traders had illegal products (either couterfeit products, or those seemingly close enough in appearance to legit products from other manufacturers to be illegal), and the cops came and took them. It's happened before, and it'll happen again.
May I suggest getting iPantyUnbunch and use it immediately.
I had to go for the Nokia N95 8GB because I needed 3G for work, and I wanted the AGPS and 5MP camera. I can't tether the iPhone to my PC and use it for work, as it just doesn't have the speed.
I do love the iPhone's interface, but I don't see the point of having a Ferrari's dashboard on a Fiat Punto. I'd rather have it the other way round;)
The iPhone didn't change the face of the cell phone market. It changed the face of the Idiot Bauble market by allowing them to buy a phone, but the most intense users of phones before the iPhone launch (corporate) still can't use the thing, so I fail to see how a non-3G phone corporate users can't use is changing the face of the cell phone market. Also, outside the US, the iPhone hasn't been as great a success. Most other countries already had phones that bested the iPhone on features (and price). The iPhone and the Air are just extrapolations of a game Apple didn't put into play. They're just using their clout to push things forward slightly, they're not launching new ways of thinking about existing products. They're playing the same game as everyone else, they just happen to have millions of grass-roots users screaming about their new products every time someone hears something new about them.
You have had an application on your linux box that has access to very up-to-date images of the sky? That allows you to move around seamlessly from one celestial body to the next, shifting the spectrum of the images to view planets/stars as you go? To save a tour and publish it for others to see? Don't get me wrong, there are some decent astronomy packages on Linux, but this is something new entirely.
Nazi imagery is not banned - it can be used for art and historical education. All the law says is you can't get a Nazi flag and march up and down the street waving it at people. The Germans are particularly sensitive to this as their country got seriously screwed up. It's pretty easy for Americans to not realise the devastation that occured in Germany, and how it's still affecting Germany to this day. They're not targetting it because it's easy, but because the last time no-one did, millions of people died. That kind of weighs on the group conscience of a country somewhat, as you might expect.

Don't include the M/T or M/V when looking up a vessel :)
M/V Hounslow: 6801951, a waste disposal vessel, flag unknown
M/T Ann: 7320069, an oil products tanker, flying under a North Korean flag
Have you looked at the state of US cars recently? :)

Most shops use slipstreamed Windows CDs with all necessary drivers pre-installed, not floppy disks.

That story was fabricated. The newspaper retracted its comments, and made a full public apology.
So you'd rather have no error messages rather than an error message you could use to debug what went wrong?
They do tend to mark their products higher than other companies do, even with strikingly similar hardware.
Unlike a soldier it can't forrage for food should its charge run out, so the "24/7" might be somewhere closer to "4/7" :-P

Not a believer in paying one's debt to society, eh? Interesting.

With a side of tofu?
It's not as bad as you make out. And with IIS7, it now makes a good web server, too.
You should check out the sales in other countries apart from the US. Not lookin' too healthy there.
