[W]ith stories about plagiarism and how "its okay" or "rooted in history" I wonder at the timing. After all it wasn't like someone at a major news magazine recently got stung. Astroturfing anyone?
You're probably right. Big Public Domain up to their usual tricks.
Why should any student worry about getting ahead honestly when the most powerful people in the world commit massive amounts of fraud and nobody seems to care? Haven't we sent the message to people that fraud is OK? Why not academic fraud?
This form of fraud involves unauthorized copying. Allowing mere students to engage in this activity unchecked may send the wrong message about what isn't allowed when it comes to those powerful peoples' imaginary property.
Plus at some point he'd have to get from the automobile to an airplane, which would expose him to arrest, and even if he got to the airplane, it wouldn't be given clearance to take off. He's stuck.
First problem would be solved by parking the auto in the plane; Ecuador has C-130s (first cargo aircraft I looked up). Alternatively, place Assange in an intermodal shipping container designated as a diplomatic pouch, destined for air/sea transport.
I read an article about 10 years ago that nano-silver particles that we human are using - to kill bacteria, -somehow entered the waterways and end up killing a lot of microbial lifeforms, and the chain reaction (according to the articles that i read, can't find the links to them anymore, sorry) was worrying
The oligodynamic effect is one of the mechanisms by which metals such as silver and copper kill some microorganisms. A benefit in the applications of doorknobs, silverware and copper plumbing; not so much in washing machines and dishwashers that exploit the effect, if what you say is true.
Human consumption of solutions containing colloidal silver (as done in homeopathy) causes an irreversible cosmetic condition, argyria, in which the patient's skin turns a sliver-blue color.
This is very disappointing. Demonoid had the largest selection of textbooks that I was aware of. Does anyone know another good source with a comparable or next-best selection of textbooks?
"In her lawsuit, Janssen says that an internal affairs investigator for the department told her that deputies often have sex while on duty and that the department would have virtually no deputies left if they were fired for having sex during work hours." -TFA
It sounds like the solution is to "have virtually no deputies left," then, until they start getting applicants that can follow their department rules and the laws they're supposed to be enforcing. If that doesn't happen, we're likely better off redirecting those budgets to social programs that reduce the number of people that resort to crime in the first place.

Yes, that sounds like a pretty effective way to discourage corruption. Maybe we should try that here.
The death penalty doesn't discourage crime. In the US, execution rates correlate with murder rates. Maybe we should examine how things are done in societies that aren't oppressive shit holes? Western European governments abandon executing prisoners, yet they're generally more receptive to the will of the voters (as opposed to corporate interests and lobbyists — business as usual in the US).
Honest question, please don't mod me down: You can't get through an episode of Deadwood without them saying "Cocksucker" enough times for it to lose meaning, did they really say "Cocksucker" back then?

You cannot deny any part of the bible and be "christian".
You cannot adhere to the bible in its entirety and be a moral and civil human being.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God....
I'll leave you please it for me, brother, and I'll stick to pleasing those who provide me with reasonable requests and constructive feedback.

Fun Fact: The airplane was invented by a couple of hillbillies, in a bike shed. Education can be overrated.
Hillbillies whose parents at one point were going to send at least one of them to Yale [...]
See? Even the Wright Parents realized that education can be overrated.
I agree entirely. But how are we to convince the rest of the population who take pride in the fact that they have nothing to hide from the government?
A family member of mine claimed she changed her stance after I gave her a copy of Bruce Schneier's essay, "The Eternal Value of Privacy."
Schneier also recommends Daniel Solove's essay, "'I've Got Nothing to Hide' and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy."
Someone else posted this very good article earlier today: "Debunking The Dangerous 'If You Have Nothing To Hide, You Have Nothing To Fear.'"

Son, you sound like a terrorist.
Of course, one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.

Maybe encrypting the protocol for torrent transfers will help.
If you're using uTorrent, try this: Ctrl + P > Protocol Encryption; Forced
Also, disable incoming legacy connections (same dialog), and disable bep22 in Advanced.

Probably not. Deadwood was set in the 1870s; MW claims first known use was ca. 1891.

[...] regimen [...]
I'm sure you meant "regime."
Although regime (government) is used as a synonym in place of regimen (medical/therapy plan), the reverse is not true.
