No it's a scam investigation, they don't want to admit the US Navy is forcing right of passage always demanding all other ships move and even trying it with light house. They are trying to slime out of it buy relying on gullibility and the typical mug punter association with driving a car, how soon they see the car and how much time they have for evasive action. Shh, but this a two bloody large ships and you have minutes for evasive action and with radar basically a whole lot longer than that to establish a safe course. Basically right up until the end, with the US navy waving it's dicks about trying to force the other ship to alter course regardless of international maritime law and then and only then, when they visibly new the other ship would not be able to take sufficient evasive action, did they in a panic attempt to alter course and failed, through incompetence upon a course set by swollen testicles and an erection.
I don't know how idiots run a Navy but logic would demand a constant state of training, I would expect naval vessel to see and not be seen. Run courses to target and identify every ship they come across as training and to strive to not been seen ie shadowing patterns, this again as training. I would expect that the crew at all times keep full control of their vessel and that it would be impossible for any merchant vessel to ram them no matter how hard that merchant vessel tried.
The final failure was steering but what led to that point was not, that was a purposeful exercise by the US Navy to force big dick authority upon all merchant vessels. Maybe the captain was too busy in his cabin having some getting off time during the stupid manoeuvre.
Look, stop prevaricating and say what your real opinion of the US Navy is!
Cute. I'm an accountant and I've seen zero evidence that Apple is cooking the books. Every indication is that they are simply moving a lot of product and
getting very handsome margins on that product.
Unless you are a (very) high level accountant at Apple, I don't see how you could possibly know whether they are cooking the books or not. They're not going to publish anything egregiously wrong like claiming sales of 5 million iPhones in the Principality of Liechtenstein (pop. 37,000).
No one predicted the collapse of Enron or RBS by looking at their published accounts.
No, here in the UK it is the old term for the first line on the Profit and Loss account, which is now called "Revenue". It wouldn't be used to mean anything else.
If I don't accidentally rename the foreground image of my adaptive icon with the same name as this XML file (ic_launcher_main.png and ic_launcher_main.xml) at least twice before breakfast I consider it a poor start to the day.
The importance of "external storage" is exchanging data with other devices. An SD card you can't use in anything else doesn't qualify.
No, for ordinary users, the importance of external storage is that they can quadruple their phone's storage for $20 and actually be able to have more than a couple of apps and four songs available.
"Catastrophe" is meaningless without teleology (some way the universe is "supposed to go"), and teleology is meaningless without theism.
A whole lot of species died. Other species didn't. Wouldn't matter which, then or now with "climate change". Per naturalistic evolution, case closed, no basis for a value judgment about it.
Well I think it's safe to say it was fucking catastrophic if you were a dinosaur.
Not sure what he thought he would be doing with his life after graduating with a degree and knowing absolutely nothing about the subject matter.
Most people don't do a degree in (say) Chemistry then go on to become Research Chemists. If you do a degree in English Literature, you're somewhat more likely to end up as a banker or teacher than a professional poet.
The truth is the truth. The truth doesn't care that you don't like it and it won't just disappear because you close your eyes and plug your ears like a little child.
Sounds to me like somebody watched too many Hollywood movies and is parroting their pathetic speeches.
Although I realise that having a standard headphone jack is more convenient if you just want to buy a set of disposable earphones from your local Poundland, I fail to see what the problem with having an alternative connection is for most people.
But it appears to be a fetish here on slashdot. "The new XYP Phone cures cancer and costs $10, but it has no headphone jack so I'm not buying it".
Weather-related anecdotes do not say anything about Climate Change, and I say this as part of the majority of the planet (outside the US) who acknowledge that Climate Change is real.
And then there's the middle aged dude who lost his entire family in a plane crash, bodies maimed beyond recognition and all - that's beyond help, that man would never ever function normally again
This is simply untrue. He might never forget, any more than he would forget the death of anyone he loved, but he is not "beyond help". Many people have had to cope with awful tragedies and gone on to live good lives.
The only answer is to abandon the notion of gatekeepers and seek diverse sources yourself.
But then to get any "truth" about what's happening in Syria or Somalia or North Korea I would have to visit there myself, since anyone reporting from or about there would also have some sort of bias.
Personally, I'd rather believe a BBC foreign correspondent than Joe Blogger from the front line on Twitter.
Yup. That's exactly what I did (except I only charged $15). I can look out my front window and see half a dozen business opportunities that I wonder why people aren't taking.
Most people aren't primarily motivated by making money. Or else everyone would have two or three jobs and sleep 2-4 hours a day, right?
Operating your own business is the best way to have control over your life
A lot of small business owners have a poor work/life balance. If your primary motivation in life is money, then you probably are fine with this and would be working lots of hours as an employee anyway.
But a lot of us enjoy having x hours a week at work and weekends/evenings off.
Surely you're not trying to say that there aren't differences in the races both physically and culturally that can be generally observed by a neutral observer?
Someone might be a rich investment banker and be black, or a homeless drug addict and be white. Their "race" (skin colour ) tells you nothing.

You don't write much in the way of Technical Documentation, do you?
You are posting on an internet forum, not writing a Technical Instruction Manual.
Most modern casual written English avoids capital letters as far as possible, it's nothing to do with following style guides.

The headline is hyperbolic in the extreme.
I may be completely wrong, but it seems to me a company has to be fined in proportion to its profits, not its turnover.
Profit is manipulable, turnover far less so without actual fraud.
"turnover" is not an accounting or legal term
It is/was here in the UK.
and is ambiguous
No, here in the UK it is the old term for the first line on the Profit and Loss account, which is now called "Revenue". It wouldn't be used to mean anything else.
What is the European Foundation?
I assume a made up organisation that sounds vaguely official?

CIA Agent Skip Towne
I can hardly believe that's a real name!
The truth is the truth. The truth doesn't care that you don't like it and it won't just disappear because you close your eyes and plug your ears like a little child.
Sounds to me like somebody watched too many Hollywood movies and is parroting their pathetic speeches.
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

In which forsaken third-world hell of a country do you live in?!
Clearly not the US or it would be gun fights in the parking lot.
*runs for cover*
I have hundreds of "all time favorite" movies
Er, no you don't. By definition you can only have one all time favorite.
It's like you can't say "the best video game is Quake and Zelda and Call of Duty and..." It's not logically possible.
And then there's the middle aged dude who lost his entire family in a plane crash, bodies maimed beyond recognition and all - that's beyond help, that man would never ever function normally again

Can I get paid to write about things I have no clue about? How do I sign up for that job?
Email the slashdot editors for advice!
And you seem to completely miss that most people need "work" as a source of meaning in their lives.
No, they don't.
Most people need work as a source of money to buy food, a roof over their head, clothes for their children and so on.
Yup. That's exactly what I did (except I only charged $15). I can look out my front window and see half a dozen business opportunities that I wonder why people aren't taking.
