When the "The Producers" musical ran in Berlin, they weren't allowed (AFAIK, might be self-censorship) to use swastikas. Which was too bad, spoils the joke a bit.
Go for the original version of "The Gunslinger", not the revised one King published after otherwise finishing the series. Though the latter has more consistency with the other six volumes, the original version is told better and is a greater read. Oh, and if you're anything like me, prepare to be captivated, you'll want to read it all in one sitting.
Regardless of the politics involved, this information was classified and it was marked as such. It was disclosed illegally and the newspapers (at least NYT) have a legal obligation to not print it.
No they haven't. "...paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the Government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell." (US Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black in the Supreme Court decision re the publication of the Pentagon Papers).
Avoiding possible public embarrasment is not a matter of national security and so is not just cause for hiding behind "security" classifications.
These disclosures appear to have nothing really new in them. Their importance is they provide corroboration for what is already known, in particular they document how much the Coalition governmets are lying. It's similar to the Pentagon Papers publication in that respect, and also in that the validity of these disclosures have been researched.by newspapers/magazines known for reasonable standards of journalistic integrity.
"Agile Database Techniques" and "Refactoring Databases" by Scott Ambler (et. al) both discuss how to augment & maintain existing databases without breaking them and how to incorporate lessons learned as you go. This is good if you need to modify or improve what you already have, and also if you have a megalithic up front data model which turns out to be flawed these techniques can help you avoid having to start all over again.

You'll probably still need a good relational db fundamentals reference. I found Date's book (mentioned in posts above) useful but your mind may not agree with his style, which is mathematician-like.
He said that to start this Sunday's gig, too. At the Copenhagen gig in 2000, it was "We are Motörhead, we're gonna kick your ass", which they then proceeded to do.
In all fairness, Prince is touring and performing in Europe atm. This last Sunday he was the final act @ the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, played competently and honestly but imo there was no greatness or star quality to the performance.
The best thing about Prince coming to the festival was Lemmy's remark at the end of the Motörhead performance earlier that day: "I don't know if you know us...well if you're here for Prince, you probably don't".:P
They must have used error-correcting codes. However, error-correcting codes have a maximum number of simultaneous errors they are guaranteed to correct.
For the Ørsted satellite, codes guaranteed to fix 2 errors were used (IIRC, it may have been 1). This was deemed sufficient - in other words, events causing more than 2 simultaneous bit errors in the same word was considered very, very unlikely & anomalous.
Unlikely things do happen. In this case we should probably blame either the Borg, the LHC or the mother of all cosmic rays.
Saying "we never used that data in any Google products" (Alan Eustace of Google quoted in TFA) evades the rather more interesting question of whether the data has been used at all, and if so, how, and by whom.
After last Patch Tuesday (yes, this is a confession I do have some Windows boxes), Firefox on my systems developed an issue with pages displaying in sort of a text-only mode when using the Refresh button(1). Page load times were also longer than usual. Those issues disappeared immediately once Mozilla's block of the.NET addon & the WPF plugin arrived.
This taken together with the fact that Microsoft appears to have patched the vulnerabilities before Mozilla put the block in effect makes me wonder if there are bits of the story which have not been made public.
After all the vulnerability has been known to Microsoft for severeal motbhs, but kept secret until they released a patch. Of course it could just be Mozilla reacting to being kept in the dark about the vulnerability.
(1) Well I also run NoScript, so it may be there was a conflict of some kind with that vs. the Microsoft thingies.
In my High School (-equivalent) days we did Slaughterhouse 5 and it was a great success. Now I'm not saying you should do Vonnegut, except perhaps The Sirens of Titan might still be readable.
Some "fantasy" suggestions:
- Harry Potter, these are absolutely great books & also deals with the pain of being an adolescent
- The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, for the emos & the feminists and btw truly a masterpiece.
SF:
"Snow Crash" by Stephenson is on the TIME 100 Best Novels list and one of the two main characters is a teenage female skateboarder who is about the only smart person in it. This is a funny book and has cyberpunk as well.
Brin's Kiln People.
Or you could do a 3000-page Science/Fantasy/Horror work, the "Night's Dawn" trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton.
Or "His Dark Materials" by P. Pullman.
Be warned some of these books deal with stuff like sex, emotions, evolution, religion, magic and corporate ethics so may be risky to teach if you're in the US so perhaps you should ask yourself WWFSMD?
May I suggest you stay away from Jordan? That is not literature! I *did* read about the first 2½ volume of his series before I realised this was Barbara-Cartland-In-A-Fantasy-Setting.
TFS says Lynton "has posted an editorial at the Huffington Post". If you check TFA, it appears to be a "blog post", not an editorial, i.e. Lynton does not speak for The Huffington Post (I Am Not A Native English Speaker so this might be a misunderstanding on my part).
I believe the Imperial cinema in Copenhagen started showing digital movies in the fall of 2004. The first movie shown this way was 'I, Robot'.

Word.
Good idea. Though if "lab monkey" means "experimental subject" I'm afraid I don't need a job that much.

If your beasts are being fondled by the wrong persons, press charges for cruelty to animals.

I'd ...flash a message at the wanker behind me
"Don't jizz on me"?
If that's the way business works in Korea, Taiwan and China then I don't care.
I believe some of those culprit corps are Japanese, Mitsubishi & Toshiba at least.

What's with the remaining 4%? How come not everyone will be covered?

I believe the proper thing to say here is "I didn't inhale".

Fixed your math for you. Yeah, I know: pedantic.
More chores for Roomba. More hammock time for me.
I've heard of a company in the northwestern US which has gotten away with selling untested operating systems for years.
