As for the article, it states that the US has (in the past) extended the security check to fly-overs. The next sentence begins "Now the US is demanding..." referring to the present. It's not terribly obvious, but the intended meaning is pretty clear.
My PolSci prof went on a rant today (after explicitly singling out the Education students) about how teachers are actually glorified HR managers trained to "identify problems and then direct them towards a specialist" in order to conform and "normalize" children, and that any "learning" that happens along the way is purely accidental. Then he accused the entire class of being illiterate (having seen several of our written-in-class short essay/exams) but clarified it by stating that no one needs to learn learn to spell anyways; we just need to learn to use a computer (eg: spell check).
It was part of a larger rant on historicism, positivism, and the soulless guts of a technological society.
He's a pretty entertaining prof. His exams do suck though.
By "supports" i really meant "has" It's under the settings->security menu. So all you have to do is either buy a phone with ICS, or root and install it yourself (where possible).
I thought it was 10 attempts for the iPhone? You got 5 tries, then had to wait a minute for the 6th, five minutes for the 7th, 15 minutes for the 8th, 30 minutes for the 9th, and an hour for the final (10th) attempt. If that fails then you can either have the phone lock itself until connected to its home iTunes account OR the option to go full nuclear and wipe the device. ?
One problem with any kind of proportional system (hybrid or otherwise) is that you always end up with members whom the public has not elected directly. They can be whatever lunatic attack dog the party wants to appoint (or vote internally). Unlike a plurality system, you can't really vote those idiots out.
The biggest problem with democracy is that it promises far more than any practical solution will ever deliver. There is no perfect system.
Personally i've always been enthralled by the goings-on of take-off and landing. I'm a bit of a gearhead though, so things like the whine of a turbocharger spooling up, a rotary engine with a lopey idle, the pop of an open exhaust, etc have always held my attention. To that end, a jet powered aircraft is an extreme version of a lot of these things. The feeling of n-thousand pounds of thrust pushing you back in the seat, the howl of a turbine climbing through several octaves that never seems like it will stop ascending, whining hydraulics and various mechanical sounds of things opening or closing... all of that stuff makes me secretly giddy.
I'll never forget being ~10 years old and landing at Vancouver - I was sitting at a window right behind the wing and it was the first time in my life i'd ever seen thrust reversal. The back of the turbine housing splitting and then rejoining like that nearly had me convinced that the airplane was actually a transformer. The only thing better than seeing it was hearing and feeling the engines at full throttle as they (and the brakes) struggled mightily against the plane's momentum. It's one of those surreal awe-struck moments forever lodged in my mind.
I've enjoyed that visceral, mechanical part of flying ever since. I've always had to resist the urge to shout - over screaming turbines, little old ladies praying, and children crying - "THIS IS F*%KING AWESOME!!!" during takeoff/landing.
More research into your platforms? You really have to make it something you look for, rather than something you expect to just appear.
Personally, I use MediaMonkey as a library app and have a Cowon S9 for music/movies on the go (battery life is fantastic with the screen off). They both support FLAC, OGG, and a bunch of other filetypes. Heck even my phone (Galaxy Nexus) supports FLAC and OGG.
300 microns: the movie Starring Gerard Butler as the voice of Bacterionidas and Michael Fassbender as Infectillios with Lena Headey as Queen Gorgorrhea and Rodrigo Santoro as X3/rX35 the God-Virus Featuring amazing microscopy effects which seamlessly switch between 4000x 10,000x and 16,000x views in mid action sequence! Coming this summer!
If Ford started selling the key to your car as a "free" app for your smartphone, but anyone buying that same car second hand had to shell out $1500 for a new "key," how long do you think it would take for before either a) congress enacts a law outlawing the practice, or b) FoMoCo's HQ is burnt to the ground? Or c), GM, Chrysler, VAG, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes, etc all start doing it too and everyone just accepts it as the new norm. Because, sadly, "c" is where the video game world is headed.
I'm curious at your use of the word "force" - as far as I was aware Canada was not forcing India (etc) to buy asbestos; rather, they want it and we will supply it, despite the fact that it's virtually banned here at home (and in most developed nations). It's like an ardent non-smoker selling cigarettes: not technically illegal, but awfully hypocritical.
Unfortunately it would just further split the left vote.
We're well on our way to being a two party nation anyways. With the right consolidated it's really only a matter of time before the left decides something drastic needs to happen - especially considering the recent surprise-inversion of the Liberals and NDP.
Correction: Outside of North America. If SOPA passes then the whole continent takes it up the tailpipe, because the issuing agency for N.American IP's is (surprise!) in the USA.
This bill isn't just a shitty deal for those in the US - it's an even shittier deal for those of us outside of the country but still on the continent. We can't even pretend to have a say in the idiots trying to rule us.
It's expected that most journalists meet most (or all) of those qualifications. If they don't, then it's a problem with auditing (eg, there is none) and not a fault of the definition itself.
Detain. I remember that stuff from bio labs. One of the dumbest labs I ever did. First, they expected freshmen undergrads to have the skill to catch a paramecium with a dropper and a dissecting microscope. Then, they expected us to know just how much detain to add to the slide so that we could find the damn thing, but not so much that it was totally immobilized. Then, they expected that if we added some food to the slide, we would be able to observe it eating...
I don't think anyone in my lab class managed all three. I remember wishing I was still at home, in my bed.

Both? They're not exclusive.

Furthermore, aren't the pre-customs areas of an international airport considered an international zone?

ICS (Android 4.0) supports drive encryption.

Problem: In a democracy, everyone is (supposedly) equal. Therefore, 99 idiots and 1 Einstein steering a democratic ship will most likely run aground.
Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader on a Gnex, while very simple to do, will wipe the /sdcard/ partition. Security feature, apparently.
I really didn't want to root my Gnex and lose all my settings and such, but it looks like I may have to anyways. Wonderful.

Buy me or i'll gnaw your legs off?
Er, toe?
Maybe nibble on the nail bed a bit?
Canada doesn't have freedom of speech
No, we have something better: freedom of expression. ;)

External digestion does exist; fungii are a good example of this (heterotrophy II).

Shareaza?
That's the best I could do off the top of my head anyways.
$70/mo with a bundle.
Just so people can compare apples to apples.

Not that I disagree with the spirit of your post.

Yes, because Blackberry has never handed over the keys to BBM when a nation-state has demanded them...
