    I've heard this before. at the pre-elections, yet, Trump is still in game.

    The question is, why is this a common practice in the US?
    Do they need more people in prison for slave work?
    Do they get a bonus for case numbers?
    Do they think catching a few unstable people benefits the society?

  5. Nope, it isn't annoying. It is great, It is what makes stargates work.

    I don't see why. The same idiocity works for both.

    Haha... hahahaha... If you think that the UK has a better negotiating position alone than in the EU about free trade, you are seriously deranged.

    As far as I see, not even the EU sceptic UK politicians really wanted this. They just wanted to beat Cameron and probably blackmail the EU. I believe this has backfired, and the UK will suffer. (EU too, but to a much less degree). I'm sure Farage and the rest of the crooks wanted that Brexit fails, but only barely. Now, lets see how UK will fare without the cheap EU workers, increased trade tax, visa to the EU and all the 'good things' non-EU countries have to cope with.

    Guess, you live on a hilltop, but many people live in cities on the shore. 300 feet over the current levels will make those people lose their property at least.

    You can't complain for what you get for free, some work is fine. But if you pay for something, you expect it to be working as you want it.

    Interesting, but who would want to retake a world which was under 100 years of ultra conservative rule. I would wait 200 years and the problem solves itself. One more century of terraforming and Earth probably will have breathable air again.

  19. Except they never found a terrorist, or managed to prevent a terrorist act by cracking encryption.

  20. yeah, it is beneficial on Rise In CO2 Has 'Greened Planet Earth' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    First it didn't exist. Now, it is benefitting the planet.
    We are slowly getting there.
    Some plant growth won't stop the global warming, though.
    Plants don't reflect the sunlight, and the growth is likely balanced by increased forest burnings, ice is still melting, sea level still rising. Obviously, it will be beneficial to the planet as a whole if shore cities are washed away.

  21. Of course, we'll call back when the cities of both shores of the USA are under 1-2 meters of water.

    It isn't the diver's safety that's the worst with this story. Imagine hostile divers sabotaging the cooling system.
    The diver should never have reached the inside of the plant.

    Well, they don't reuse any of the rockets. The only rocket that was claimed to be reusable will gather dust in a museum.
    I hoped they will manage this latest recovery, but it seems they are still way too far from reliably recovering a rocket.

  25. code is speech? just speech? on EFF On Why FBI Can't Force Apple To Sign Code (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    Only when it isn't functioning (when it is printed, on the disc, etc).
    When it works, it is more than speech. It can kill people, direct missiles, etc after all.
    If it was just speech, then an execution order is free speech too.
