Because they can already read plenty in the media, how does not having their names prevent a potential juror from hearing the crimes they're being charged with and remembering the huge arrest that was made the month before?
Remember, in Germany you're not even allowed to use someones name in relation to the crime they committed once they've served their time. What country doesn't protect its proven guilty in the 21st century?
Agreed, I hate trying to convince myself that my friends iPhone can figure out which keys I meant to hit, especially the times when it has to wait until the end of the word to fix something. It takes typing from something that I can do by second nature on a couple of different keyboard layouts to something an exercise in trust and patience.
DHL was begun to send packages from San Francisco to Hawaii in 1969, it was purchased in 1999 years by Deutsche Post a private company largely owned by the German government (30% of share held by a state bank). DHL employees are no more "government employees" than GM ones, and for what it's worth DHL has had to pull out of the US because package service here was hemorrhaging money under its new ultra-efficient overlords.
Seems to me like one user is trying to add a highly bias account of a single incident in her life that is many times longer than the rest of the article and throwing a screaming fir when multiple Admins tell him that it would be in violation of multiple measures of quality. Further mention of an "edit war" implies to me that the user tried to force his section in after repeated warnings and when told to file an RfC he just continues to argue first with just about anyone he can find.
2) Kurds are Iraq citizens which means it was an internal affair.
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantees the right to life and international courts have held that the state is primarily responsible for protecting their people as well as that if they fail to do so other states are legally justified in intervening.
4) Of course Iraq had chemical weapons at some time: it was USA the one that helped to develop them
"The know-how and material for developing chemical weapons were obtained by Saddam's regime from foreign firms.[17] The largest suppliers of precursors for chemical weapons production were in Singapore (4,515 tons), the Netherlands (4,261 tons), Egypt (2,400 tons), India (2,343 tons), and West Germany (1,027 tons). One Indian company, Exomet Plastics (now part of EPC Industrie Ltd.) sent 2,292 tons of precursor chemicals to Iraq. The Kim Al-Khaleej firm, located in Singapore and affiliated to United Arab Emirates, supplied more than 4,500 tons of VX, sarin, and mustard gas precursors and production equipment to Iraq."
Taken from Wikipedia, which will also inform you about Frans van Anraat the Dutch man who has been convicted of selling the main components of Mustard and VX gas to Iraq.
Not just "that area", the tsunami from the 1960 quake killed 61 people in Hawaii and there were 10m tall waves as far away as the Philippines and Japan. The really scary thing is just how quickly the waves can spread, only something like 25 hours to cross the ocean.
Not to split hairs, but I think it's a bit off base to compare anything earthquake related that has happened in the US to Pakistan or Turkey. The 1999 Izmit earthquake near Istanbul killed 18-40,000 people, the Kush earthquake in Pakistan nearly 80,000.
By comparison the USGS records 37 earthquakes in the last 100 years, most of them in densely populated southern California, the combined death toll isn't over 500. I don't think the term "devastated" applied.
Only half? The US has 10x the population of Canada, and is the third most populous nation in the world, and the only one of the three with something constituting disposable income.
Hibernating is so bad that laptop's API calls to hibernate at critical levels tend to die with the last bit of batt. juice before your RAM is cloned to HD.
I'm sitting across the room from a IBM T41 with a terribly abused battery that has to go into emergency hibernation more times than I've seen it intentionally shut down. My Dell E1505 has never had a problem with it either across XP/Vista/Win7.
It's certainly a trade off though, for short periods standby is certainly faster and less power intensive, but in my experience the amount of time before that power saving is outweighed by the continual power draw is actually quite short. It's also something to consider if, like me, you frequently leave your laptop plugged in with no battery. Hibernate survives a 3AM power outage, standby loses my work.
when France says that it is a bad idea, that indeed, then it is indeed a bad idea.
Like getting jealous that the US and UK are so close to each other, demanding that France be allowed to play too while at the same time demanding that in the actual event of war France can negotiate their own peace rather than actually bear the consequences of de Gaulle's political grandstanding? Or perhaps requesting NATO troops for a genocidal occupation of Algeria and then quitting NATO when no one would go along with it?
When the UK has stated "hey guys I thought the entire EU agreed to total transparency?" and the Portuguese are openly supporting transparency? Why the French are suddenly afraid would be beyond me. The article you link provides absolutely no evidence as to why a few EU member states who agree with the majority of the EU are are afraid of the US, nor anything but "silence" as a US position.
So you have nothing to say of the German system that segregates it's lower education based on "intelligence" (read "the level of education/success achieved by your parents) completely cutting off entire populations from various career paths unless they're willing to take a more roundabout path to accomplish something many of their peers are readily handed.

Congress does not have the authority to agree to the UN Children's Convention as many of it's provisions are the responsibility (read: sole power of) the states. They can set standards equal to the convention and tie it to federal money, but they can't agree to it.
Italian speaking software writers are probably a little easier to track down than Chinese simply by nature of their respective populations but either way I agree, not going to happen.
Several investigations found his publications (newspaper articles)to be dishonest
From your link:
The DCSD did not provide specific statements on actual errors. On this point the MSTI stated "the DCSD has not documented where [Dr. Lomborg] has allegedly been biased in his choice of data and in his argumentation, and... the ruling is completely void of argumentation for why the DCSD find that the complainants are right in their criticisms of [his] working methods. It is not sufficient that the criticisms of a researcher's working methods exist; the DCSD must consider the criticisms and take a position on whether or not the criticisms are justified, and why.
A Dutch think tank, HAN, Heidelberg Appeal the Netherlands, published a report in which they claimed 25 out of 27 accusations against Lomborg to be unsubstantiated or not to the point.[13] A group of scientists with relation to this think tank also published an article in 2005 in the Journal of Information Ethics,[14] in which they concluded that most criticism against Lomborg was unjustified, and that the scientific community misused their authority to suppress Lomborg.
I assume you've read it and know that there are still plenty of other criticisms (like this new book) but as for peer-review and open dialogue I think it's hard to say that Lomborg hasn't had his work examined and even harder to say that he hasn't been forthcoming in responding to detractors in a far more transparent way than any journal I've ever read. I've never read TSE but I can't say that I understand where you get the "frothing" part of his response. Maybe you should imagine it being read by a calm voice, whether you agree with it or not.
The "unconvinced" aren't the ones arguing with you, they're the ones who lurk, and wonder why if the climate change issue is so cut and dried both sides are so emotional and frequently irrational in their discussion of it. The science may be there, but if the attitude of those wielding it is pompous, arrogant, rude, or in many cases childish or threatening it does little to lend credence to an opinion in either case.

We also have Google street view, something I hear my European (mostly German) housemates complain that it'd be nice to have.
