Interesting, thanks. Unfortunately, without a comparison to rates of resistance in countries where antibiotics do require a prescription to dispense, it doesn't really establish the claim.
You are quite right, and after some looking I think the sad fact is that there isn't data about multi-resistance outside the developed countries. I suppose its no surprise, if most people can't afford any medicine and a few just the cheapest antibiotic then its hard to justify testing bacteria for resistance when the same amount could go into direct healthcare
You just know that nations such as China, Russia, India, Iran...etc so want to get their hands on this technology! Now would be a perfect time to setup honeypots to find and track suspected moles within the defense industry. Round up the H1B fuckers caught and kick them out of the country if on US soil.
The summary was off, as usual. It is clear that this it not a NUCLEAR first-strike weapon. The idea obviously being it won't scream ICBM and, presumably, if you were going to launch a nuclear first strike, it wouldn't be started with just one or two of these. Sure, if you want to take out the leadership of, say, Iraq, at the start of a war, you could consider it first strike, but that's not the concern.
I can see the theory. In a world where rogue states have ICBMs if the Russians see one of these heading over they can say "Ah that's just our friends the Americans taking out some Afghans, not an Iranian loony attacking us". It only works if the countries trust each other - and know that the Americans wouldn't put a nuclear warhead in one and aim it at Russia.
Do you have a source for this? I'm not saying you're wrong, just wondering about the basis for the claim. It strikes me as possibly being one of those "common sense" ideas that turns out not to be true when you actually crunch the numbers.
I can't find comparative figures but this BMJ article highlights the issue
Actually given a lot of people I come across day to day I find that very reassuring. Three quarters of people know that antibiotics don't cure colds! I would have expected at least a third to say "What's an antibiotic?" and one in ten to say "what's a cold?".
USians pay for their medicine so they most likely are not prescribed as many by their doctors.
I don't think that is the case. Doctors might find it harder to say "just go home and take asprin" if someone is paying for the consultation. I can't find figures but my feeling is that its just as bad - the European report was issued because most emphasis up to now has been in the USA. I know that multi-resistant TB occurred in the USA and then spread to Europe, not that one example shows much. In all likelihood it actually occurred first in a third-world country with endemic TB and antibiotics available over the counter but tests found it first in te USA.
All true but the majority of resistant strains come from countries where antibiotics are unregulated (i.e. you can buy them over the counter without prescription)
I'm not against the concept of nuclear power per se, but eveything I've read about the industry and its practices makes me think they're rather untrustworthy and greedy.
Maybe the French industry is different, I don't know.
What a shame that the nuclear industry isn't a paragon of virtue and altruism like all other corporations.... Oh wait!
Over the top and irrational. Are you really claiming that 28% of muslims are blowing up airports (or will blow up an airport at some stage) ?
6% think the tube bombings are justified? Bollox. How about doing something similar with the percentage of people who vote BNP (in the areas in which they stand, and then extrapolating to the whole country just to be as "scientific" as your telegraph "facts"), and you'll start to come to the same (wrong) conclusions about the white Christian majority.
You throw around poorly compiled statistics like they prove your point, when all you really want to do is hate. If you were more honest, you would skip the pseudo-statistics, and just go straight to the raw bigotry.
That's rediculous in every way. Why would you look at votin in any area that did not return the majority party as typical. especially one that doesn't return a single MP?
Muslims haven't existed for thousands of years, so clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.
You know that in an islamic country you could be killed for saying that. They really believe that there has always been Islam and everyone was born a muslim
Say what you want, despite the larger number of Christians in the UK we haven't had them setting of bombs on public transport in the name of their religion, trying to blow up aircraft, and driving burning vehicles into airports. They don't disrupt remembrance day services, hold banners saying "Freedom can go to hell", and "Britain will become an Islamic state" or "those who insult Jesus will be killed". There aren't reports of Christians killing relatives for marrying the wrong person or leaving Christianity every week. They don't demand that areas with lots of Christians become "Christian law" areas and say they will violently punish people who don't dress the way they like. Muslims do all these things.
Maybe you're thinking of the IRA.
They were doing it because of the occupation of Ireland, not because they were Irish or Christian. They had demands that you can agree with or disagree, not just a statement that they want to kill people different from them.
How many British Christians want the country to remain a Christian state?
A more equivalent question would be "how many British Christians would want the Britain to become a theocracy with punishment for heresy and other faiths like in medieval times"? The answer would me much less that 28%.
A location information system that displays location specific information, the location information system, comprising: a receiver that receives location identification information from at least one site specific object identifying a location.Iadd., where the at least one site specific object is a beacon.Iaddend.; and a transceiver that transmits the location identification information to a distributed network and that receives the location specific information about the specified location from the distributed network based on the location identification information, wherein the location specific information provides information corresponding to the location.
Well it confirms one thing about Apple. They're always thinking about lads and their ends.

I just read the thread and while there were a lot of good comments I am still struck with a question.
What do we use instead of a car analogy for such a story?
A PC analogy?
Well you were pretty quick with your weird version of "one finger typing"
Clue: It wasn't his finger

Geothermal and solar energy do not work 24/7
Geothermal does work 24/7. In very limited areas (like Iceland where hot steam in large quantities is vented naturally) it is a good option.
How about this one 41.030853,100.59948". It looks as though some of it has been painted out from the map image!
I refer you to my answer here.
Can you give a damn reference for what you claim? You like to invent beliefs for Muslims?
No I tell the truth about islam, unlike most of its defenders. Here is a reference for Islam existing always: http://www.cpsglobal.org/content/islam-beginning-time Here is a quote for everyone being born a muslim http://www.islam101.com/dawah/newBorn.htm . Incidentally that is being used to justify the death sentence of a Christian cleric, they say he is an apostate because everyone is born a muslim.
Here is one of the many cases in the hadith of someone being killed for contradicting islamic teaching http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/103739
I have prior art. At least on the massive penetrator.
I take it you've reinvented the tin opener.
All underground complexes have entrances on the surface.
Won't bombing those entrances achieve much of the objective by essentially burying the underground target?
How long it will take the enemy to reconstruct the entrance to the target?
The problem is ensuring that you have hit all entrances.
Or that the actual weapon isn't something totally different
>> What happened to surprise?
The bomb doesn't really exist, and the administration want to hamper the Iranian program while the US actually *builds* the bomb.
What a happy coincidence that those nasty hackers infected Iran's facility with stuxnet then!
