Our French are different. The only real reason they lost the seven years war (Better known to Americans as the French and Indian war) was because France stopped sending troops and supplies, while the British stepped things up, and even then the British didn't achieve an unconditional surrender.
The FLQ liked bombs rather more than guns. During the 60s they were setting off roughly a bomb per month at locations such as the Montreal stock exchange, city hall, RCMP offices, military facilities, and railroad tracks, along with many bank robberies.
It really isn't any different than switching radio stations--I would still have to divert my eyes momentarily to see what I'm doing
I would call this a failure in the interface. Interfaces in cars should not require visual feedback. On my car from the early 90s, I can change the channel on the radio or adjust the HVAC without having to look at the controls. Tactile/audio feedback is sufficient that I can tell exactly what I'm doing while still minding the road.
1. Driving while using a cellphone is genetic or otherwise hereditary and thus selectable against. 2. People doing so will be eliminated at a higher rate than people who drive sensibly (There's nothing stopping one idiot in a truckzilla from taking out a family of 7 in a minivan when they blow through a red light doing 90).
Even at the fairly low electric rates I have (10.6 cents per kilowatt-hour), gas would have to be more than 4 times as expensive as it is (19.61 cents per cubic metre) to break even, even accounting for efficiency gains.
Unless US union laws are more screwed up than I thought, you are not required to participate in a strike even if you're a member of the striking union. Last time the staff at my college (In Canada) went on strike, all of my professors crossed picket lines and kept on working ("Screw that. I've got students to teach.").
There are rare earth mines in the US, they're just inactive due to China being able to do it cheaper.
But this recent trade conflict has people getting local mines going again. Two rare earth mines in California are reopening and there's a new one in progress up in the northwest territories here in Canada.
Well-trained and Well-equipped, yes, large, not really. China's military is literally about ten times bigger. If a shooting war were to break out between Japan and China, the US military would be going to work.
They do say iOS users, but even if you add in iPod touch (45 million estimated sales) and iPad (5 million estimated sales) users, you still fall short of 104 million, even if every single device owner uses the facebook app. Something is funny with their numbers.
I find that figure remarkable being as there have only been about 50 million iPhones (counting all generations) sold worldwide, according to Apple's quarterly reports.
What I don't understand is why the post office (at least Canada Post) and the major shippers UPS, FedEX must make a delivery to your house should you order something
As far as I know, they aren't. I hardly ever have anything delivered to my door unless it was shipped via Purolator (Their truck drives right past my house every weekday at 4pm). Anything sent via UPS I can pick up at the courier office (which is about 30 minutes away, or I can wait til they send a truck out my way on Thursdays), whereas Fedex punts to Canada Post for delivery, and it ends up in my mailbox.
OTOH, I'm in Saskatchewan and live in a tiny village, so YMMV.
Do you have any idea how much gas people will burn to get to your funeral? Or how much GHGs will be released to make your coffin? Or methane your rotting corpse will release or how much energy would be used to cremate it?
Catholics (at least the local bunch of them, not sure if this is a global opinion) have no problem with homosexual people, only homosexual sex. Just remain celibate with your partner and you're golden.
nuclear secrets really aren't. The nth country experiment showed that over 40 years ago. Trying to keep the knowledge locked away is futile, the only hope is to control the fissile material.
Fun story: I had a roommate back in college who did not know how to mail a letter. She knew how to address one, but not what to do to mail it. She'd always given them to her dad and he'd pay the postage using his meter for his business and send them out. She also had no idea how to search for this information, so rather embarrassed, asked me.
I've had similar experiences with people who can't operate a washing machine.
if the original was normal human readable text it becomes immediately obvious when your brute force succeeds
You will get any possible message of the same length, including several normal human readable ones. Barring having other information, there isn't any way to determine which one is the actual message. For example, if you have a 28 character message, attempting to brute force the OTP it will give you both of the results below, both equally plausible, along with many others which are equally plausible.

Said game was mentioned by the Team Fortress 2 dev team on their blog back in July and has been spreading like wildfire since. Valve have been in discussions with the guy about the game. The game has almost as many hits on google as he has in dollars in that account.

Your signature is wonderful.

I attend SIAST in Saskatchewan and they're members of SGEU.

There's also a rare earth mine at Lake Thor in NWT, Canada getting set up.

Here are mine. Add up all the iphone figures mentioned and you get 51 million and a bit.

This is Saskatchewan, buddy.

Where are you getting 4-6 billion? Numbers I've found say 50 million barrels (1.5 billion gallons) in that well.

You've been able to do that for years. AnyDVD HD will work on practically all bluray discs. Doing it for free requires more effort, but is doable.
I did RTFA, but I apparently missed that. When I resd about this previously in Wired, it said the vehicles were 2 seaters.
Depends on what composite material. Plywood is a composite material.
Though being serious, this isn't a large vehicle. It seats 2. That's the reason why they think they can make it that cheap.
That probably isn't too far away.
