It would've been nice to know that was the intention in the first scene in MOHPA - you do a beachhead assault, get to the beach and are hiding under a bridge, and no matter what you do, a grenade frags your ass. This is, I think, the first in the MOH series that used that tactic, so I wasn't expecting it and got a little pissed that the grenade was unavoidable.
It was better done in FEAR when the main badass thumped you round the head in the opening mission - shame the end of the game sucked.
The constitution says that habeas corpus can only be suspended at time of war. Right now, the United States federal government is alleging that because the constitution doesn't explicitely say that habeas corpus is a right the rest of the time, that it isn't.
Really?: The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it
To me, that says that it is a right at all times except some instances of rebellion or invasion. They must have good spin to interpret that sentence so loosely (I'm not disagreeing with you, just being a pedant).
Interesting - in my maths degree and at school (in the UK), we were taught that log(x) was base 10, and ln(x) was the natural log. Other ways of writing it would be to include the base as a subscript to the log(), which made it more obvious when doing those tedious exercises to convert the base.
More here. Considering his MS in Genetics was awarded in 1986, I would have been surprised to see references from much earlier than that, although maybe when he was an RA in Dermatology he could've done something.
No. Apparently they need €862Bn for the next 6 years (about €135Bn per year). They'd need to get this level of fine revenue every day to achieve this (or at least just under €400M per day).:-)
the only database of fingerprints they have to test against are those of known criminals who have been arrested at some point for something else
Minor nit-pick - it's not against a database of known criminals, but instead against a database of all available fingerprints - e.g. all prints lifted from crime scenes and all prints taken of suspects during the course of any investigation. "Known crims" are a subset of this database...
Well, according to this site, Adam and Eve had 3 sons (Cain, Abel & Seth). Abel got dead, so that leaves Cain and Seth on the reproduction front line. Mysteriously, it takes another 5 generations before any other women are mentioned - so the logical choices left are:
Divine intervention - lots more cracking of ribs, I guess
Eve was a bit of a go-er
Women just weren't mentioned much (although I'd have thought that the birth of anyone when there are less than 5 people on the entire planet would be newsworthy in any tome)
Either Cain or Seth had, err, unique anatomical features
Anyway, if it was Eve, then I suspect all that incest had a bad effect on the gene pool - they were living to the ripe old age of around 1000 years old back in those days and now look at us...

But didn't Churchill let a town be bombed, costing many lives, because if the bomber flight were intercepted the enemy would know that they had cracked that round of Enigma?
That's a common myth - see here for a refutation that has references. Doing a Google on the subject turns up no conclusive links to anything saying that it was known that Coventry was going to be bombed. Although it was known that somewhere would be bombed, just not where).
I'm not sure that you're correct, there. IANAL, but I think that you instead purchase media with a license to access the content of the media.
I think that it is a common misconception that you are purchasing the music itself - probably due to the fact you are going into a shop and buying an object - but it's no different from going into a shop and buying a copy of Windoze. You are, in reality, buying a license
:) I've seen plenty of wierdness in patents, mostly from the company I work for
Thankfully the M$ Segoe font article has given me ample precedent to overturn your patent (as I will ignore the fact it was rejected by the EU as a trademark). I stand by my dual boot trousers (I may even install Linux on them).:-P
Can'tselltheirkits? When did that happen? Anyway, shouldn't be confusing copyright with patents (no matter what some people might want).
My pants have legitimate uses that do not infringe on your pants patent(s) and so I have every right to sell them. I could even counter sue you in that your pants *could* be used in the ("dual boot"!) manner patented by myself. My justification here would include your earlier comment: "It's not how the customer finally uses it. It's how it is "intended" to be used. And how it's intended is up to the one holding the patent." Lawyers win again.
Aha - but when is the manufacturer responsible for the way a product is used? Surely including an instruction book stating that the customer has to sit down and stick both legs in at once demonstrates how my "circumventing trousers" should be intended to be used. Your problem would surely be with the way the end user utilised the product as your patent is on the method of getting the trousers on, and not on the trousers themselves.
Merely because the end result of someone wearing a pair of trousers is identical to yours, it does not infringe on your patent of how to put a pair on.

Bizarrely, it seems to work, although it's a little bit intimidating the first time you approach it.
yes
Maybe he meant this guy? :-)

Hahahahaha - even the UK Government Department for Constitutional Affairs aggrees we don't have one. See their site for details.
