OK, can we store the waste in your basement? And you promise it won't leak for 100.000 years? And you have room for 12.000 more tonnes each year? Cool.
Nuclear energy is not renewable. Investing heavily in reactors seems a bit stupid when there is only enough fuel until 2090 ("Uranium 2005: Resources, production and demand" p.78: NEA/IAEA 2006). Better to invest in truly renewable alternatives.
In Norway there is a general consensus on some ideas, like public healthcare and education. The conservative party is still pretty conservative. On some issues, though, the discourse is simply different than that in the U.S.
These are not very left-tilted politicians in Norway. One is a former chairman of the conservative party, and another a former representative from the rightmost party currently in the Storting.
This award is a mistake, no matter what you think of Obama.
The wiki's translation of Nobel's will (and it looks good, after a cursory glance at the original swedish) reads:
[...] to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.
Note the past tense. President Obama has done nothing at all to reduce standing armies, and his work towards a fraternity between nations is in its infancy.
I guess you mean Unicode characters that uses the same glyphs as an ASCII character. The equivalent of the ASCII characters in unicode, are the ascii charcaters. They even share code points.
Code-pages are shockingly irrelevant in DNS lookups.
Also, quouth the wiki:
Internet Explorer 7 imposes restrictions on displaying non-ASCII domain names based on a user-defined list of allowed languages
My needs might be very specialized, but I need a computer with several free PCI slots, loads of RAM, and a video card that works well for 2D under X11. Everything else can be pretty basic.
What I (and I suspect others) mean, is that she should really have known not to open email attachments on that computer.
Of course the dude's at fault. But this could easily have been prevented. I could try to fit this into a rape analogy, but that would just be sad.
You can never prove that a rape wouldn't have happened if not for the miniskirt.
The spyware would not have gotten installed if not for her running weird programs on a hospital computer.
On the other hand, she should probably not have been allowed to check her private email on that computer at all.
If you mailed me a package with a cover letter saying "attach the fuse so and so, and you can see FUNNY KITTENS", and I did, THAT would be just as much my fault.
And since she ran the attachment, she's at fault too. In theory, his email account could have been taken over by bad bad men, who spammed evil viruseses to all his contacts. In that case, it would have been purely her fault (not his).
IANAL, of course. But my understanding is that jurors need to understand which facts would have to be established in order for a crime to be, e.g, 1st degree and not 2nd degree murder.
The interesting part above is not the spelling, but the meaning. The meaning can't be understood (without a lot of extra work) by modern english speakers.
In your example, that's not true - it's comparatively trivial to either extract the data from the original system, or write some importer in the new system, that preserves all the interesting parts (the data).
OK, how about changing patents to make lisencing standardised? That way, Roche would get paid, and everybody could make Tamiflu. The only penalty on society would be a mark-up on the costs of _all_ versions of the drug.
This way, it would be possible for research and production/marketing to be completely seperate companies, even. So the marketing department wouldn't influence research quite so much.
My actual point (which I admit wasnt clear to anyone who isn't me) is that if politicians tried to start up some major fingerprint archive for all citizens, there would be an uproar.
So instead, my guess is the government gets these from foreign intelligence. Conveniently linked to your passport.

Nucular. It's pronounced nucular.

All digital pressure sensors do quantization.
Most keyboards sensors are binary, but they are still pressure sensitive.

You forgot some =)
The fact that the systems are federal might not matter a whole lot, since the perp is British.
You know, not from the U.S.

That's not the same thing.

That's a valid point of view, but it directly contradicts OPs argument for less focus on drivers and more on other enhancements.
Opera lets you turn off javascript globally, and then whitelist individual sites. Without any extension.

Someone should point these schools to sites like mutopia, imslp, and for choirs, the choir public domain library.
Yay solidarity! =)
