At least three workers received severe burns after wading through irradiated water while trying to reconnect power to the cooling systems of reactor 2. They've been sent to the hospital.
When someone is killed why do the police not simply pull the information for everyone that was within, say 500 feet, at the time of the murder?
Add the inaccuracy of the method (they can tell what cell you're on which still covers several blocks) and the population density of urban areas and you're going to get 100+ false positives. You're running a dragnet operation and those have been ruled unconstitutional by the federal constitution court in Germany. You can't just grab data like that on innocent people in the hope of finding a witness.
I don't think you can really get much useful evidence out of cellphone tracking for regular crimes like that. Bank robbing is fairly rare and the robber could just leave his phone at home while drug dealing doesn't worry the executive enough to warrant using cellphone data for it, never mind that the tracking resolution won't be enough to tell that somebody bought from a dealer instead of getting a pack of cigs from the kiosk across the street.
It sounds terrible that all this data is being tracked but if you had it at your disposal what exactly could you do with it? The data itself doesn't say a whole lot. You can't spot dissidents with it, you could at most suspect that two people are interacting with each other when they're often in the same area but even then it's a crapshoot that'll produce more false positives than it's worth.
The easiest evidence is that the US has no social democrat party and it considers the left/right division to be between liberals and conservatives, both of which are considered right of the center in Europe.
To the rest of the world Ron Paul is an insane extremist. Those guys are always principled, doesn't mean anyone wants them in the govt. Every country has its extremists, be they the FN, NPD or BNP. Nobody outside their tiny minority of supporters wants to see them in power.
The problem is that art is also used as a moniker to call one thing more valuable than another. Using the term "art" for other purposes leads to equivocation problems.
I think a partial communism where the automated jobs are taken over by the public and everybody gets the fruits of that labor for free could work. Those who want more than the basic good covered by that will have to work and the products of that work would cost money.
IMO it's a worthwhile goal to automate all necessity production and if we have to disown people for that (obviously not before we can start up those automation systems) it's an acceptable price. Hell, we should make sure to supply the third world with that stuff too.
Politicians are just as greedy as everyone else and capitalism does not provide a natural safeguard against that kind of corruption. It may not be what capitalism wanted but it's what capitalism gets.
Same thing just happened to the Japanese reactor. Well, the building exploded and the cause isn't officially reported yet but it's pretty likely that the reactor popped from overpressure.
They brought some in and didn't have the right cable on hand to plug them in. Last I read they tried to airlift one in but the reactor building has exploded so I guess it didn't work out (maybe the cooling came too late).
Some games use IAPs instead of having two versions (a demo and a full) on the store to give a free trial and then allow people to buy the full version.
I threw a dollar at Solomon's Graveyard since it's a great game and the game itself cost only 1$ while getting regular free upgrades so it was more a matter of supporting the developer.
The problem is that politicians have to obey both their bribers and the public (after all they don't get re-elected otherwise). The easiest way to do that is to cut the regulations big business wants gone and then throw up a smokescreen of misinformation so nobody complains that it's the wrong regulations being killed.
Germany is free of deadly (natural) disasters. There have been some floods and snow cutting supplies and power but AFAIK nothing that caused many deaths. You get European windstorms but they do little outside of property damage and even that isn't very severe.

What's the point of tracking a nerd? We don't leave the house much except for work and you don't need a tracking device to tell where someone works.

Deutsche Telekom is the parent company of T-Mobile USA. And Europe has stricter privacy laws than the US.
It's most likely both. Cut the spending, raise the taxes.
Plagiarists get thrown out of their respective professions all the time and you want to be all nice to a guy who did it as a business?
It's not going to cause that many fatalities but it'll likely make large areas uninhabitable and a lot of farmland unusable.
So who forgot that facilities near the sea can end up flooded?

Communists tend to have extremely powerful polices and secret services.

When did that idiotic notion originate, anyway?
Second half of the 18th century during the epoch of Romanticism (just look at all the crap that age brought us!).

Once technology really gets far enough to make labor obsolete we can still switch to communism. Until then we should worry about the present.
Egalité and fraternité pretty much amount to socialism/social-democratism. It's not just about equality in front of the law, the rebellion was against the upper class and its wealth. Ron Paul is clearly against flattening the rich.

Also "fun" is that floodwater is usually toxic or filled with dangerous bacteria/viruses because of all the shit that it sweeps up. So don't touch it.

Also those with the mark go to hell, that's probably a bigger concern.
