I must say I'm surprised at the countries which prohibit extradition of their citizens whatever the circumstances. It seems to give their citizens carte blanche to commit crime so long as they travel to do it - unless they have mechanisms set up to try them at home for crimes committed abroad, where the witnesses and investigating police are located abroad.
The British ambassador recently stirred things up by pointing out that Russia doesn't abide by its own constitution internally, citing as examples that it
states that economic activities aimed at monopolization are prohibited (Article 34); that people have the right to choose freely their place of residence in Russia, including in Moscow (Article 27); and that Duma deputies cannot engage in paid work (Article 97).
That's not a problem with paper voting per se, but with the implementation of it adopted by some (all?) U.S. states. What was the problem with paper-and-pencil voting which punch machines were supposed to fix?
The only disappointment in terms of plot, I felt, was that not a single Slytherin stayed behind after the evacuation of the school.
The impression I got when I read the book through was that McGonagall hadn't permitted them to remain. On checking, I see it's not quite so clear-cut:
'Thank you, Miss Parkinson,' said Professor McGonagall in a clipped voice. 'You will leave the Hall first with Mr Filch. If the rest of your house could follow.'
If you really want to be picky you should say that the plural of 'medium' is 'media' except when the mediums in question are psychics.
As an aside, the infelicity I found most noteworthy in the article summary was that the anonymous reader who wrote it appears not to have considered the possible interpretations of 'camp friends'.
"To beg the question" as an intransitive verb has a particular meaning, but why does that necessarily preclude the transitive form from having its natural meaning?
I'm reminded of my experience in the last European elections here in the UK. I wanted the official word on where the parties and candidates stood on software patents, so I checked their websites. They all had websites which listed some of their policies, but nothing so specific. So I wrote to their campaign offices. Only one party replied, and they didn't really answer the question, although they did send lots of stickers, presumably so that when I was convinced by the "reply" I could canvas on their behalf.
You missed a major exception:
3. Division. The shortest implementation of unsigned division using signed types I could knock together in a few minutes is
public static int div_unsigned(int a, int b) { if (b<0) { //The unsigned b is >=0x80000000. Result is 0 or 1. return (a>=0 || a<b)?0:1; } else if (a<0) { //a==0x80000000+(a&0x7fffffff) //Account for (a&0x7fffffff) int div=(a&0x7fffffff)/b; int rem=(a&0x7fffffff)%b; //Account for 0x80000000 div+=0x7fffffff/b; rem+=1+0x7fffffff%b; //Cumulative remainder might exceed. return div+rem/b; } //Both represent themselves. else return a/b; }
For example, do you limit your donations to the Democrats to less then $250 because you know your Republican boss can check online to see which employees to fire or not promote or not give a raise to? That's an implicit blackmail.
Whether your movements are surveilled or not, if a country's society is that petty and partisan I'd rather not live there.
Vote Lib Dem, then: it doesn't matter whether you agree with their policies or not, the closer to a hung parliament we get, the less the government can accomplish.
You misrepresent your case slightly. Speaking as a firstborn twin, I can assure you that being a firstborn doesn't mean exclusive dibs on one's parents for nine months. Of course, it does still mean more attention than following siblings. Anecdotally, the two children with the highest IQs in my family are myself and my youngest sister, who is the fifth child but born after a 5.5 year gap.
A British minister is roughly the equivalent of a US Secretary (of State, of the Treasury, etc). The British equivalent of "Privacy Czar" is the Information Commissioner.
Unlike the US, the UK has more than two parties which win seats. There's a serious possibility that the next general election will result in a hung Parliament, and that would be even more likely were it to be carried out with proportional representation.
Do you know you people have been driving on the wrong side of the road all this time?
I've never noticed people driving on the wrong side of the road here in the UK - and I've been to many countries where they do drive on the wrong side, so believe me that I'd notice.

I seem to recall a set of fatal crashes almost six years ago.

You're right. It had never occurred to me, but I thought I'd check because I've seen some pretty weird eBay sponsored links in Google results.

Depends what kind of nuke it is. Water's good at stopping neutrons.
Go to Havana. There are plenty of 1950s Chevys there plying the streets as taxis.
Fred, where John had had "had", had had "had had". "Had had" had had the teacher's approval.
Okay, so I haven't read the article, but the summary strongly implies that where it says "is using" it means to say "hope someday to be able to use".

If the purpose is to recruit, how can they not pick clips which show the military in a good light?
