Have you not read the Iranian president's speeches? He is overwhelmingly against Israel. For that matter, at least some of the problems in Iraq are caused by Iranian help (I am not by any means trying to point at bogeymen but there has at least been corroboration of some help).
Further, a worm can sit "idle" for some time without fulfilling its programming goal. Installing one into a nuclear facility's computers seems like a great way to be able to stop a problem once it begins, even if that problem doesn't develop for some time. I would imagine that being able to cause industrial accidents the minute an invasion of a hostile country begins would be a great way to insure success.
...and... working in a weapon factory (or affiliated vertical manufacturing chain site) puts one at risk. If I worked in a nuclear facility I would see that as a calculated risk. If I worked in an electronics company that produced hardware for Lockheed Martin, I would see that as a calculated risk and view my company as a potential target in the event of an "invasion" - doing things electronically is merely avoiding the potential personnel cost of sending a bombing run over the enrichment facility.
Sales taxes are ideal - they reward those who are fiscally responsible by not tasking them and take from those who will need the most social support.
Property taxes are slightly less ideal - they take from those who have some level of fiscal responsibility while focusing on those who are reasonably well established (in an ideal situation).
Income taxes are roughly on the level with property taxes but actually hit the "man in the middle" more if equal across all income levels. With Washington State's proposal, the upper classes of society will be most affected. What I find objectionable, though to all of this is that they are starting out with a ridiculously high income tax after having had none. This is going to affect the lower level 200k+ people significantly more than the upper income levels (1m+) as they will suddenly lose a 1/20 portion of their income (and need it more than those who lose nearly 1/10)... how many of us would agree to a 5% reduction in salary at the drop of a hat (yes, I know part of this is deductible on the federal income tax)? How many businesses are going to be willing or able to increase the junior partners' (or equivalent) salaries that 5%?
I have a feeling we would still call it France... as a lesson to future generations that in the end, losing all the time (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/victories.html) becomes so ingrained as to become a permanent thing. I do wonder if the guys at albino would see this as a reason to update their list.
Interesting possibility - but the same could also be said of North African tribes. I would agree that there is personal involvement and responsibility here - thank you for bring this up. Mooching off society in the form of social security is a potentially large part of the issue. Significant, however, is the clash of government against culture and its impact both in favor of the Roma and against: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/jan/08/eu.politics
I don't know but would assume that people would tend to stay in their countries of origin if a combination of available work, appropriate government policies, nice environment, and social connections all fit together. You are perhaps right to note that Czech Republic policies are not the only cause for migration, but I would suggest that government and cultural issues connected with that government are likely a large part of the problem.
We might see a similar analog in the Central American immigration into the US issue where people come from CA to the US in large part (though not only for this reason) because local governments of origin are corrupt and fail to effectively protect the people and provide opportunities for businesses to safely thrive. Another example might be seen in the North African immigration into southern and central Europe. I do not know much about particular situation, however, and would prefer not to speculate beyond noting the particularly strict regimes in control of many North African countries.
Are there other possibilities here? Of course. Does this offer a reasonable approach to why things might be happening as they are? I think they do. Feel free to disagree (I would appreciate the dialog).
How does one get to be a collection agency in the Czech republic? Would the registration fee for the government for such an agency be cheaper in the long run for a group of like-minded individuals committed to open work?
This would seem to sadly indicate that the Czech republic will no longer accept sealed posted mail as proof of creation prior to another (even with your solution). Though, to be honest, I don't know if the "poor man's copyright" ever actually has held up.
It strikes me that the road is in between complete lack of concern (which the parent seems to indicate) and hysteria. The key point of the above argument does not appear to be registration with a collecting agency (unless there are barriers to entry, a group of GPL minded folks could create their own), but rather the stipulation under law changing the royalty schema from artist to publisher. Publishers need bread and butter as well, but this could easily be accomplished through fees to artists for services rendered. The government decidedly does not need to legislate money away from the content creator (though I tend to be opposed to government meddling except where absolutely necessary anyway).
While the above is probably rightly marked flamebait, there is a truth hidden in the midst of it. Czech policies on some level have been causing massive migration of Romi to France and Italy, sparking off the recent debate over who's allowed to be in what country (despite fairly broad travel agreements under EU treaty).
While I think they had a slightly different name (warbears?), I did enjoy the movie version of the Amber Spyglass series... too bad it got blackballed by its real-world philosophical target...
I would assume the same would hold true in Swedish breakrooms as well as American, but I could easily be wrong. Different cultures do have widely varying practices. In the case of breakroom talk, it has been virtually the same in every country I've visited or lived in (though I must confess to never having been to Sweden, so maybe it's different there).
I don't know about your teacher breakroom, but as an actual teacher, the conversation is quite similar to what you'd find in a normal breakroom - which movies / tv shows are of current interest, stuff going on at church/volunteer organization x, crazy situation that happened over the weekend with family, and difficulties with a particular aspect of work.
This last usually revolves around a student, whose last name is never mentioned to maintain privacy (and usually not the full first name either), and request for advice on how to deal with a behavior / academic problem.
Tests are never discussed in detail with the possible exception of English essays, so I'm not sure what the girls hoped to accomplish. Even with English essays, specific questions might get passed around a table and comments made along the lines of... "needs to be a bit more analytical material on this one" or "you might consider asking about x as it relates to 'that'" where "that" is never specified. Could some information be gleaned? Sure. But would it be worth bothering to bug the teacher's lounge? No.
while the title of the article focuses on Republicans, it goes on to discuss Americans in general. Fully 66% of the country holds to some form of a young creationist perspective for humanity (strangely combined with a more even distribution of views on evolution and an old planet/universe. If anything, by these numbers, which appear to hold up in other surveys, the evolutionary system appears to be the vocal minority's position. Within the survey, 38% held to a theistic evolution-esque model.
...that Americans are often obsessed by finding a single cause for a problem and the idea that there might be multiple causes is rarely explored.
I would suggest it isn't so much an "American" trait as it is a convenient news tactic in America. People naturally want answers to questions. The neater and tighter the answer, the more readily it is accepted by the masses, which, of course, means that the news makes more money because they are more trusted. Simplicity is a hallmark of human (not just American) thinking - this takes different forms in different cultures. The main Western logical process is distinct from Eastern varieties but simplicity within the given culture is the tendency. Looking at modern history books covering the Renaissance and comparing them with 19th century history books of the same, we have a much broader viewpoint than those writing in the 1800s had. This is in part due to different access to resources, but in part due to the development of thought over time away from the natural reaction: Simplicity.
Now, with all that said, this is only... one facet of the change in thought patterns over the past century.
I realize that this type of system is designed to make decryption next to impossible, but given the requirement that no characters repeat, your company's system actually decreased the number of potential passwords (though 12 s's in a row would probably be a bad password). On another note, which foreign dictionaries were polled?
perhaps only warrant a product as long as it is reasonable to expect it to last due to normal wear and tear. That way, defects in manufacturing are covered by the warranty AND the end user has the opportunity to plan / budget for new hardware in a reasonable fashion.
This is why you give everything of value away just prior to death and then make the government your heir in your will... something tells me that is somehow already illegal though.
arresting him for public intoxication should have been sufficient, but this way, I guess, your brother has nothing on his record at all now... of course, the downside to this is there will be no court mandated alcohol awareness / rehabilitation but he may not need that in your particular situation.

I think it might connect better with the right of a resident of Texas to move to California should he (for whatever reason) desire to do so. While the various EU countries still have significantly more independence than US states do, the European Convention on the Legal Status of Migrant Workers (ETS No. 93), which entered into force in 1983, would appear to protect Roma (apparently I had my vowel wrong) and other migrant workers.

I definitely need to start reading more of the articles instead of just the summaries. Thank you.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your side of the debate, this is not the case.
