This reminds me of the Absolute Poker scandal in 2007. Even a relative novice should realize at some point you have to lose a showdown so it isn't obvious you're cheating.
I've found drugs users are never as self-destructive as reported in media and if something starts spreading on the street is because the risk benefit makes sense. Which means the scaremongering must be ratcheted up.
That was definitely the case for MDMA. There were all those horror stories about "burning out your dopamine receptors" and how once you took it you would never be able to feel happy again. Turned out it was all bullshit.
The third option is really a mirage. Even if Assad was willing to do everything above-board it would take six months to hammer out the details, and by then the facts on the ground will be radically different.
Chemical weapons don't get used much because they're not very practical on the battlefield. How effective they are depends on too many factors beyond your control. You can't even be sure how long it will be before you can occupy the land you just gassed.
This is true. For personal use I could see buying an iPad or Android tablet, but if I get a tablet from The Man it's almost certainly going to be running Windows.
Well, that was part of the awesomeness. The other part was their use predates practical intercontinental travel by airplane. If you wanted to travel from Germany to Brazil or the US in 1930 the fastest way to go was on the Graf Zeppelin.
But the thrust of you comment is probably accurate. Airships travel at most about 25% of passenger jet speeds. Even assuming you can find people who are willing to spend four times as long getting to their destination, the real killer from a business standpoint is you have to have four times as many filled seats to get the same ticket revenue. The only way this is going to happen is if airships become significantly cheaper to operate. That's not impossible, but it's going to require significant increases in fuel costs as well as a much higher volume production of airships.
So just going by the data we have here, with the number of hits going from over 10,000 to less than a hundred? Sounds like somebody let a clickjacker loose on their network.
Or someone updated the white list. It may just be that legitimate sites related to current legislative topics were getting erroneously blocked by the filter. Filter gets updated and bam! All those adult clicks go away.
Yes, giving too much notice is a mistake. You're handing any flexibility you have in the situation over to your employer, and sometimes they'll use it to replace you before you're ready to leave.
Usually colleagues who still work there are instructed to refer prospective employers to HR. The best references are people you worked with who don't work there any more.
Everywhere I've worked (US), people let go were escorted out with two week's pay. The only exception was a company that gave everyone a month's notice, no work, a desk with a telephone, and the instruction "Find another job".
I'd rather get no notice and two week's pay than have to work for those two weeks.
Of course the ugly truth is that you can't fix disease or poverty in any of those places where they are endemic by handing out medicines and training people.
For a select set of diseases that's not true at all. Diseases like polio and dracunculiasis could be completely eradicated by "handing out medicines and training people".
I don't think so, because you can make a better gun more easily using a few tools and plumbing supplies. Suppose the design improves and you can print a gun that lasts for a hundred rounds. Why wouldn't you make one out of metal that's more reliable? Guns are really easy to make.
Explosives are easy to make as well. Easier than guns, in fact. You can find recipes all over the internet to create high explosives using household items. Hell, you can even find recipes in US government publications. By your logic homemade explosives should be pretty popular. But they're not, are they?

Not where I live. We have legal dispensaries, but the legal stuff is triple the price of what you can buy from "my buddy who knows a guy".
I doubt it. That's not the experience of countries that have tried decriminalization, and it's not like you can't find heroin if you want it.
That was my first thought too. I've seen it so often, though, I'm starting to wonder if that's the legitimate spelling somewhere.
This is just wrong. The block 50 is one of the best fighters in the world even today.
This seems to dovetail nicely with Elon Musk's plans for a reusable Falcon first stage.
It's like string theory - impossible to falsify. That's why it's not actually science.

No. Other people don't determine your rights. They only determine whether or not you'll be able to exercise your rights.
The Russians already have more than twenty thousand tons of chemical weapons. Nothing they get from Syria is going to change the situation in Russia.
It's also true.

The road to Big Pharma Hell is paved with effective in vitro cures for cancer.
So true. If that were all there is too it my bleach cure for cancer would have made me rich already. It kills cancer cells, after all.

That may be true, but the gun you make with metal is going to be a lot more accurate and reliable.
It's irrelevant compared to, say, the eradication of polio.
Access to communication networks helps address lots of real and immediate problems.
Potentially. It's also possible people will spend all day watching porn and the "real and immediate problems" will get worse through inattention.
