I had assumed that "netbook in the form of a tablet" was referring to capability and performance, and so forth. The post made plenty of sense that way.
Without knowing anything I asked, you have no more proof that torture has had any benefit than I have proof that this cheese sandwich keeps lions away.
If an entity like wikileaks can find something out, then so can any actual hostile entities (other countries, whatever).
If it's something that really should be secret, then something's been done horribly wrong if it gets to wikileaks or to anyone else. Anything else shouldn't be secret in the first place.
Of the unsuccessful ones, how many were even slightly related to information provided from torture?
How many of those would not have been discovered otherwise?
And what makes you think that information extracted under torture is going to be reliable? The victims will say whatever they hope will make the torturer stop. That might be the truth, it might be fiction.
Balance on commercial airliners is not going to be significantly affected by an individual's weight - not when the same plane could be carrying a tonne of cargo or absolutely nothing in the same hold without any issues.
As you suggested: I suspect that if the question was "did you see the unicycling clown?", people together will be less willing to admit they didn't see it. People alone have less incentive to try and impress someone. And people on their phones just weren't paying attention.
Particularly if the truck is also expect to travel on, say, building sites, it will need a certain amount of clearance under any skirts to allow for rough ground. For a sizeable vehicle, that's probably more than enough gap to run someone over.
The person shouldn't have walked into the truck. Can anyone give a valid argument against that statement?
The kid *shouldn't* need counselling. However, after all the chaos and shouting and blaming involved in something like this, he could probably do with some.
It depends also on how the individuals involved define casual sex. One partner might well consider it fairly serious whilst the other considers it meaningless.
With a walled off cockpit, flight crews could still be susceptible to threats against the passengers and cabin crew. Cutting off communication is never going to happen. Modern armoured cockpit doors and entry systems basically do wall off the cockpit unless permission to enter is given. Even the codes the crew use to enter can be entirely disabled from within the flight deck.

Which, unless otherwise specified, we assume we are.

Why do you think my first point is irrelevant?

My apologies; I got lost somewhere.
Of course they wouldn't. Why should they?
Most "Democracies" in the world are at best democratic republics.

Actually, the original parent of this thread used it first...
I've often wondered what would happen if that had instead been "the right to keep and arm bears".
It would make for an interesting world, I'm sure.
I like your creation myth.
And that is sometimes true in reality. How often? I have no idea. But definitely more often than the "never" assumed in all industry-stated losses.
How would giving something away and still having it at the same time be cheating myself?
that's still 10 people who are no longer going to buy the book.
Probably.
On the other hand, particularly if the book is first of a series, they might well go out and buy the book and its sequels.
Hmm, good point. And perhaps it's more likely to stick in your mind because you both looked at it together.
This being a university, I suspect the chance of not mentioning it is fairly high. It's not the weirdest thing to happen.

Same thing.
Oh god......
This post, and "Incidents happen" further up the page, broke me. Where's my damn mod points?

Three or four work letter?
