its the shock factor which did it, the Local Government had no idea this was happening and the suddenly read about it in national papers as being a completed and implemented system on their doorstep without them knowing anything about it.
i bet if they had been told about it in advanced they would have been happy to let the system run.
Thats just using energy to convert elements and molecules into different molecules, but it doesn't change the fact that you will be constantly losing molecules over time and they will eventually need to be replaced some how.
One acted like a d*ck and was taking video clips of a clearly confidential meeting
Confidential clearly means something different to you than it does to me. Confidential means you don't pass the information on to people outside the appropriate group (maybe the meeting attendees, maybe the outside the company as a whole, it should be stated clearly who is allowed the information).
Nowhere does confidential mean don't take notes, which is all a photo is.
Who wants to bet that they were just or already contacted by the US government like Lavabit, and ommitted that from their closing explanation for legal reasons?
Their statement about closing the service specifically said they hadn't been contacted so if they have been contacted then they didn't just make an ommission it would have been an outright lie.
Because Lavabit has been officially contacted they can't destroy any data, they can shutup shop to prevent anyone else falling into the net which is what they have done but for anyone who have already used the service and have any data already on the Lavabit servers, it's just a matter of time before their data is decrypted one way or another..
I suspect that Silent Circle are shutting up shop before any warrents arrives, that means that it's completely legal for them to destroy any and all data they have. I wouldn't be surprised if the data is already wiped at a software level and the hardware destruction is either in progress or getting planned.
Because its not a shill, its accurate. A surface pro DOES run the full Win8, it IS a competitor for ultrabooks, and its price is better than its closest competitors...
Which clearly has nothing to do with being a shill. A shill is about getting paid to promote something without declaring a close relationship / financial benefit to promoting the product/company/service.
Nothing about being shill indicates accuracy of the information either positively or negatively.
We are seeing the results of social pressure to be monogamous; it is not genetic.
In a social species, culture (or peer pressure if you want to call it that) is a selectable trait which can influence the evolution of a species. The trait is a passed on through learned behaviour rather than genetics
Modifications in behaviour of members of a group can directly affect the survivability of the entire group relative to other groups of the same species.
The obvious example being disease control, if there is a communicable disease which relies on certain behaviour by individuals to spread through a group and one group in an area doesn't follow that behaviour has a better chance of survival, it could be sexual practices, dietary practices (i.e cannibalism for ritual or nutrition) etc.
Elementary, my dear Watson: take your $20K, emigrate to a tropical Garden of Eden and live like a king
While that is a possibility, it effectively means that someone from the 1st World has to work like crazy for a few years, then move away from their friends, family and culture... pretty much permanently because what they are earning in their tropical get away isn't likely to be enough to return home without taking a huge financial hit.
However, someone from the 3rd World has to move away from their friends, family and culture for a few years then move back to their support groups richer for their experience.
Certainly emmigration is a possibility for some, but it not an option for everyone.
What I would like to know is: why is people from outside willing to take a low-paying job and people from within not willing?
Come from a developing country and work for a few years earning way more than you could locally; save like crazy, shared accomodation, limited social life etc. Build up a say $20000 of savings. Go home, that $20000 is enough to give you a good start in life in your home country with a much lower cost of living.
Now image someone local to the developed country doing the same thing. Working at the same price, or even more for a few years; save like crazy, shared accomodation, limited social life etc. Build up the same $20000 of savings, then what? because of the higher cost of living in the 1st world, that $20000 doesn't go anywhere near as far as someone who intends to live in a developing country.
The same dollar value has different values for people based on expected spending power at the end of the contract.
Note: $20000 is just a rounded off number and I have no idea if thats a reasonable amount to save in the time, the point the same dollar value has different levels of attractiveness based on the living costs of where you expect to be spending the money.
I think there would be far less hostility if rather than temporary work visas they had a fast track immigration policy, then local employees would be competing against people who have the same long term living costs as themselves.
Not that I don't disagree this text was probably overkill, but "fear mongering" might be the wrong phrase to describe a text trying to locate an actually missing girl.
Was there any indication at the time through the alert system that this was just a missing child case?
Using something like this system to find a car, especially at 4am but without providing any context would immediately have me thinking that the car was a serious threat, on a city wide scale. Using such overkill without providing context would make me immediately think the car was needed to prevent a very large terrorist attack.
Fear Mongering seems to be the right phrase in this case.
Space shuttles are low earth orbit only, they never leave Earths Magnetosphere anyway.
Moon capsules did leave the Earths Magnetosphere but weren't shielded. They were protected by limited time in space (2 weeks at most) and luck that they weren't hit by decent solar storm.
So long as the car isn't used on Public Roads it doesn't need MOT, Insurance or VED, although you have to declare that the vehicle isn't used or store on the road (SORN Declaration).
Knowing a vehicle isn't insurance etc isn't enough, they have to show you using the vehicle on public roads which is where the camera comes in.
Each house is told to turn off their AC for 15 minutes every 2 hours. BAM, peak usage down 12%, nobody actually cares since AC off for 15 minutes is barely noticable.
But when the AC comes back on, it has to work harder because now the room is warmer. Sure, you saved that 15 minutes of AC usage but instead of the AC cycling on and off every few minutes as it would normally do to maintain a room at a given temperature it will come on and stay on until it's made up the difference.
No energy has been saved in the long run, all thats happened is a tall thin peak of energy consumption has been flattened and made wider.
Smart meters help with peak power on a grid which can't handle the demand but don't save energy. It's a cheap way of dealing with a failure to invest in essential infrastructure.
So to minimise the impact on the coral, they plan to mount the structure of a tripod arrangement.
Brilliant, now all they have to do is make the whole structure transparent so it doesn't block out the sun underneath the hotel and starve the coral of energy.
There is a reason coral only grows in shallow water.
I've gone with Netvibes, more as a replacement for iGoogle rather than Reader.

Roughly 76% pregancy rate if the reversal is performed within 3 years of the original operation but successful pregancy rate drops off with the number of year bewteen the original Vasectomy and the reversal operation.
If you're going to go around with no seatbelt on, whose taxes are going to pay to clean up the mess when you spread your brains on the pavement? Or when you blow someone's head off?
Well, in a proper Libertarian society, it would ultimately be the person who is held responsible for the accident who should be made to pay for all costs associated with putting the damage right. Although it would probably be something which has to be covered by private insurance because I don't think many individuals could afford the full costs, at least not at short notice.
Of course then you run into the problem of what happens when someone causes damage to infrastructure that everyone uses but doesn't have insurance which covers it. Should insurance be mandatory or should the state be the insurer of last resort, paying for repairs out of taxes? both of which in theory goes directly against the Libertarian ideal.
"This is a new one, twitter as a form of historical reenactment:

I actually found it remarkably moving subscribing to that feed. Far more than just watching television shows about the same period, you would often get reports of new aircraft/pilots arriving at base, maybe notice the same name showing up in lots of logs about hits or kills against enemy aircraft, then a simple statement about the same pilot killed or missing in action.
The logs were a perfect document to tweet because they were short single line statements of engagements and base arrivals and departures drawn up after sorties by ground personnel.

That is EXACTLY the point of the exercise! The generating plants can only generate X GW of power
But improve the energy efficiency of a home and you reduce the both the peaks and the total amount of energy needed, it's a win win.
But when the AC comes back on, it has to work harder because now the room is warmer. Sure, you saved that 15 minutes of AC usage but instead of the AC cycling on and off every few minutes as it would normally do to maintain a room at a given temperature it will come on and stay on until it's made up the difference.

Wait, the hobbits had firearms?
That would have made them the most powerful force in middle earth.

They can attempt to reverse a Vasectomy but it's not even remotely guaranteed to work.

Couldn't the tornado just lay some blankets over the razor wire and climb over?
