I think they're talking about counterfeit items here. Substandard counterfeit parts in things like airplanes, or even chips with espionage functionality built in to them, or counterfeit medicines, can and do cost lives or compromise national security.
Not interested in an eBook reader until the publishing industry wakes up.
There are many more (legal) uses for an aBook reader, especially one that can display PDFs nicely. But as long as they're so expensive, a cheap laser printer might be a better alternative.
I know that DNA testing was a huge breakthrough that solved a great many cases that were previously unsolvable, but it's not like police never got convictions before then. So why is this law enforcement organization apparently so dependent on DNA testing that they comparatively look like idiots when something like this foils the DNA evidence?
It's a bit weird that it can be used as the sole evidence at all. DNA testing is like comparing md5sums of files. Many different files map onto the same checksum, even if the file size doesn't match.
Surely they have other evidence at the crime scene, or in plain sight on the suspect(s). If one of the twins left blood, one of them was probably wounded by the broken glass. There may be glass particles in the perpetrator's clothing*, etc.
Good luck finding out which clothes the perp wore during the crime, especially when you don't know who the perp is.
No, it makes it more likely that the loss of an arm or a leg will end your life. Being able to scar quickly might very well prevent you from bleeding to death.
Richard Dawkins isn't absolutely convinced that there is no god. He does consider it unlikely in the extreme. Of course an omnipotent being could make the universe look like the omnipotent being did not exist, except for hints such as meatballs in our spaghetti dishes.
No, they're going to demand that a religion/ideology "be destroyed". That, of course, demands torturing the adherents until they deconvert and killing those who refuse.
No, that's just your Christian persecution fetish speaking. Atheists don't want to kill all believers. They want the right not to have religion shoved down their throats, or having to pay more taxes than religious people/organizations, or having the state promote a religion.
Sure, some atheists say stupid stuff indicating that they'd like believers to be killed. But nobody listens to those retards. I do know of some religious people who say that all non-believers should be killed, and other believers paying quite a lot of attention to their words.
I could have sworn that I had replied to my own post shortly after posting GPP, explaining about the same, except that I didn't call the PVV racist, and compared them to a bunch of -1, Trolls instead.
I think those MEPs just had one instruction: figure out what the other Dutch MEPs are voting, and go against the majority, just to stirr up shit and show we think different!
And yes, the PVV has a lot of scary nutty right-wing policies that would be very bad for our country. Their anti-islamization comments are actually quite funny, especially the way how Mr. Wilders manages to troll the media all the time. He must be having a lot of lulz, I think.
No. 1.0: Don't quote me regulations! I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the color of the book that regulation's in. [hardens his tone] No. 1.0: We kept it gray!
I recommend you visit Microsoft and have a look at their "Windows" operating system. The concept of a terminal doesn't run nearly as deep in it as it does in Linux. The same goes for the concept of security. Overall, it is kind of a poorly reinvented UNIX, but I think you might just like it. There are quite a few applications available for it nowadays, and it is gaining more and more marketshare and public recognition.
I have a tiny 1.8" usb harddisk with 4096-byte sectors, and the Ubuntu installer crashes when it tries to read the partitioning information. Very annoying.
It'll probably be cheaper to just manufacture those elements in nuclear reactors than to exchange them with an alien civilization hundreds of lightyears away.

You're just asking to be added to the No Internet List...
Then you'd have to decelerate, orbit, and accelerate again.
Exactly :-)
Why doesn't the game include a roll-over counter?
Too bad that many of their books just suck. I don't mean to be mean, this is just my honest opinion.

Eh, the against-voters are PVV trolls who were probably instructed to vote against the majority of Dutch MEPs for the lulz.

The No votes from The Netherlands come from members of a party called NI. Perhaps they are inspired by a certain British comedy group?
Why haven't migratory birds evolved jet engines?
I just voted Wednesday!
It's racist!
OTOH, black computers are really cool nowadays, where they used to be mostly beige.
Ironic how super-strict North Korea uses Free Software, while South Korea is totally in thrall to Microsoft.

cost(assessing) > cost(software) where cost(assessing) > 0 and cost(software) = 0
That's true, but doesn't mean anything, so it's a bullshit reason.
Isn't blood filtered before it is transfused?

I thought it was pretty funny that the K Directorate from the Alias series used KDE. I kn
