Well to be more accurate I like speed cameras in places where speeding is a definite danger or problem like school zones, "rat runs" through residential areas, accident black spots, etc.
What really annoys me is the trend to use speed bumps in these areas instead of cameras. You end up in a situation where someone in a large 4wd SUV drives through at 50mph but someone with a compact car has to slow to 20. I know people who have actually switched to a larger vehicle because of speed bumps.
So take away the speed bumps and give me cameras any day!
Sorry, but the unprovable mays that you present are equally as likely as donkeys flying out of my ass.
Well there is evidence of increasing desertification. Now do you have evidence that donkeys are likely to fly out of your arse or is that just uninformed speculation.
It isn't heading towards the northern hemisphere, it's heading towards the north pole. There is plenty of "green" in the northern hemisphere already.
I think that is the key point. People should also realise that places that are currently green further south may well become desert - this doesn't mean more green it means green further North. It seems to confirm predictions that the "Wheat belt" may move North from the contiguous USA and central Europe to Siberia, Northern Europe, Canada, and eventually possibly Alaska.
Do people really use this stuff in place of real money? I'll keep my real cash thanks... And as the world's currencies (particularly the dollar) are being intentionally devalued, I'll hang on to my precious metals.
And our tax dollars already go towards the up keep of the internet's infrastructure.
Exactly. It would be useful (though probably impossible) if the small cost associated with each email were charged to the sender instead of picked up by everyone. If you got 1000 emails for a penny most people would spend very little each year, but the scams and spams that work if 1 in 100,000 people spend £20 would no longer be viable.
"I simply have zero interest in the crowd who wants to be different. Leet. 'Linux is supposed to be hard so it's exclusive' is just the dumbest thing that a smart person could say."
I would have thought that even the looniest dictator would think twice before threatening "weapons of mas destruction", "a mother of all battles", and so on.
Cutting the meat all at once allows the fork to be inserted once and several slices of meat cut in succession.
In the typical use case, the efficiency gain is illusory because the fork must still be inserted into each slice afterwards in order to transfer it to the mouth (where the fork will be efficiently removed). Nevertheless, the Stationary Fork algorithm is of importance when the meat slices must are to subsequently be processed in a distributed fashion by multiple forks and/or mouths.
Oh for christ sake implement some parallel processing - come to the UK and learn how to use a knife and fork!
I'm a Muslim, but I've never planned to bomb a plane. Am I doing something wrong?
That depends how you define wrong. If you mean as a decent human being then no. If you mean by not following your scriptures as interpreted by many Imams and practiced by tousands then yes.
Just to be quite clear I am not saying that you should plan to bomb a plane. I am saying that Islam is a (literally) abysmal religion that calls good evil, and wrong right.
Your words; "practiced by tousands" (sic). So you believe thousands of Muslims who commit violence represent true Islamic teachings, while the billions who don't are not. I wonder where you learn your logic.
Because millions support them. By your logic the Nazis would not be responsible for teh concentration camps because only a few actually worked in them.

I worked for a software consultancy which charged us out to clients. In this type of company it is usual practice to pay for and give time for various certifications. Clients frequently ask about the qualifications that consultants have and it is important to have up-to-date certifications. I have also worked for end-user companies where you are given on-the-job training for new systems, approaches etc. only as needed and with no certification. Sometimes they let you have time off to take the exam of you want to go for certification yourself, but to them the aim is getting the job done and certificates to prove you can are of little value.
If a US citizen were to visit Canada, buy a phone, unlock it, and return to the USA would this be legal? What if they brought a phone in Canada that had been unlocked by someone else? Or at the other extreme visited Canada with a locked phone, unlocked it and returned?
The newly developed CMOS sensor features pixels measuring 19 microns square in size, which is more than 7.5-times the surface area of the pixels on the CMOS sensor incorporated in Canon's top-of-the-line EOS-1D X and other digital SLR cameras.
I guess this is to collect more photons in low light conditions. Of course this means that sensor is physically larger, but that's not a problem for Canon, they have made medium format cameras in the past.

Isn't that somewhat close to ISO 8601? I generally find it good and sensihle, helps with sorting and reading.
However it is a bit short-termist. I prefer RFC2550 as a long-term solution

Digging a hole to get the dirt to fill another hole.
That can look remarkably successful as long as you concentrate on one hole at a time. I think its the way many politicians work.

They should all run plan-9 or Haiku
They should apply for a crimestoppers (snitch) reward
The've got to be kidding! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Perhaps they are feeling left out. After all the Muzzies get to shout "death to America" all the time.
I would have thought that even the looniest dictator would think twice before threatening "weapons of mas destruction", "a mother of all battles", and so on.
Okay, how about this: Because you failed to wash your hands after going to the potty, licking your fingers is just lick sucking a dick.
I'll have to get my GF to do that for me then

I just hope that it isn't Muslims practising to bring down another aircraft
So you're saying that if it were Christians practising to bring down an aircraft, it would be okay?
Of course not, as it wouldn't be if a flying pink elephant brought it down. But I'm dealing with reality:
I know that it is PC to say that the womens institute or buddhist monks are as likely to bomb a plane as Muslims, but it's just not true.

Well, Iran is the proud new owner of an RQ-170, maybe they decided to take it for a joyride over US airspace?

Nerds have constantly pushed technology that has cost people jobs.
... but this time its serious because they're talking about nerd jobs.
