a) There was not much data available at the start, they knew there was volcanic ash and where this was but not detailed density figures. b) Advice regarding volcanic ash is to not fly if there is any, there are no degrees, above 0 you do not fly. c) Equipment which can measure the density of volcanic ash clouds is not commonly available. d) Prediction of where the ash will move and the respective density it might achieve during this movement is complex and inaccurate.
Would you prefer they kept the planes in the air when the data was not available and where ash and jet engines is known to be a very bad idea? Or would you prefer they stop everything gather data to see what the state of play is and proceed from there. As European air space is some of the most congested in the world I would suggest that just playing things by ear would not have gone well when planes realised they were hanging in the air in just the same was that bricks don't.
Also you can't necessarily see the ash with your eyes, and the instruments on most planes don't detect it, so how can you tell the difference between safe and unsafe ash?
They have to break the skin to implant something, that is harm. Whether or not this story is true the act of having something implanted into you without your permission (excepting life-saving medical treatment) I would consider harm of the most grievous nature.
As to non-violent they would obviously have to sedate you or do this while you were sleeping, I don't know about you but that seems pretty violent to me, using violent to mean sudden or unexpected obviously.
They have shown that they do not hold things sacred, it would make a mockery of their stance of mockery. You cannot mock everyone and everything but not things you consider sacred. It's the Family Guy manatees again. Either it's all* fair game or nothing is, and it's a stance I fully support.
And if you are an avid fan of south park you will have seen that every other 'religion' gets much worse treatment, the scientologists, the mormans, even the kiddy fiddling christians.
*There is a caveat that this is mocking peoples beliefs not physical attributes, which can reinforce negative stereotypes. So for example making fun of a little person for being a little person is wrong, but you can mock them for being a scientologist. It may also be wrong to suggest that muslims are terrorists as they are not, but they have not done this knowing this would cause trouble.
The scientologists did not look kindly on south park either, but they don't like anyone messing with their cult^H^H^H^H religion so it was to be expected.
At least Matt and Trey are mostly even as they will mock everything and everyone. I don't see why any group of like minded people can't be made fun of myself, although this is not the case with physical attributes where negative stereotypes may be reinforced.
IANAL but can't the company who makes the actual thing just go we didn't patent it because it was obvious, would seem to invalidate the entire idea of the Apple patent.
It should be done on the willingness to donate, not actual donating, as that would be somewhat counter productive, only putting donor organs into those who donate them...
They have been doing this for years, it's why most people in Europe like the EU. They stand up for the people and ask for openness, we don't really need any more wars in Europe we'd all like to find ways to work together.
Maybe you need 120TB of space, I don't see any SSDs yet where you can have this much but this is doable with current HDD tech. I can see local SSDs on servers but not in SANs at the moment. We will probably get there sooner or later, at which time the various bottlenecks will have appeared and been solved.
Well the 50Mbps package costs £38, all of £5 more than I was paying for 20Mbps and a phone. So I really don't see where you are coming from...
And I've had a substantially better service from cable that I have ever had from ADSL, but as always YMMV.
Well it's coax rather than twisted pair cable, so it is a 'better' type of cable the the POTS for this type of data use. But yes 21CN is basically the same, just using the twisted pair as the last mile.
Pretty much all of Europe has socialised universal health care, although in different forms but it's all free at the point of use. I love living in the civilised world.
Mostly as Scotch comes from Scotland (if it doesn't it's not Scotch but some other whisk(e)y), and in the UK and Europe as a whole we are not fans of GMOs made in labs so if you are drinking Scotch I would guess there is hardly any GMOs if any at all.

No. The EULA would be termed unconscionable, should it ever be tested in the courts.

I'm guessing that they want to sell you the $2000 top of the line Quadro FX card to do your number crunching, or the Tesla.
But yet you read the /. article and commented, that doesn't sound like 'at all' to me...

We Europeans cannot help that Americans are stupid, sorry, but it's nice to know some of you appreciate us.
I had to convert to kg from lb, that was inconvenient for me.

In much the same way as they can advertise 'unlimited' data plans I assume, with some small print on the bottom of the screen essentially saying YMMV.

Yes, just between the 49th and 50th parallels...
