I seriously doubt the NSA will be reigned in any time soon; unless we have a coup but don't hold your breath whilst we have a docile population with a severe celebrity fetish.
Wouldn't the solution then be to get mobilize the celebrities, to get them into offices around your country, and have them deal with the NSA?
From a fairly frequent traveller (me): Check where you're seated.
If you're in an aisle seat, or a forward seat, be amongst the later ones to board - it is simply more efficient, and you won't be asked to please stand up while people get in next to you. If you're seated in the rear of the aircraft, or have a window seat (or middle of a 5-seat block), get in early, to get out of people's way.
Before boarding, figure out what you're going to need (and not need) during the flight, and put things into your carry-on or pockets (or a small plastic bag?) based on whether you plan on using them; don't wait until you're at/in your seat to start sorting through stuff. The flight attendants can help you with your carry-on (they have more experience than you in this regard), and you don't NEED to have your stuff stored right above you; if you have the stuff you need on your person, there is no need for your carry-on luggage during your flight.
Also, don't explain to "yahoos" that their stuff need to be in specific locations - just move it, and proclaim loudly that people who don't understand the standards set forth by airlines, are idiots:)
They can fix astigmatism now? That would be the one reason I'd in for the surgery - if it can fix the near-constant headaches I get from wearing glasses with correction(?!?) for my astigmatism, I'm game.
An interesting setup could be selling the original version (and assets) under license, while including an "updated binary" option, compiled to work on more recent OSes, and possibly with some minor improvements.
Just tested... * OpenOffice loads in 4 seconds * 2nd load, 3 seconds (After closing the app) * 3rd time opening it (without closing the app completely), 1 second
Am thinking if part of it is preloaded at boot-time, it would load a lot quicker; I'm told that this happens on Windows with MS Office for the same reason, which could explain why the work-laptop I was using earlier would load MS Office fairly quickly, yet take half a minute to boot:)
(from memory, opening MS Office 2008 on OSX took several seconds too; don't have it installed currently)
To clarify: Colbert only retweeted the request - I think the decision for iPads came from the particular school, notably from a specific teacher.
If the quality of applications (perceived quality, or actual) is higher on IOS, then the people behind it should have no problem replying that this is the case.
If there is a kickback or price-reduction in play, then that could be harder for them to explain in plenum, but if it is a public school (since asking for hand-outs), I truly hope such constructs are required to be made public; that is at least the case where I'm from.
(The following is purely about logistics, not a statement of support) Hamas should start reducing the size of the warhead (or simply forgo explosives) on some of the missiles, to save on cost and construction-time. Israel will still have to intercept, and the lower weight would likely result in more missiles getting into the actually-defended areas of Israel.
Alternatively, stop lopping missiles around for a year, then go to the world and explain how nice you've been, and how evil and cruel Israel is; bring it to the attention of the Russians and similarly interested parties, that Israel is support by the Americans, and the Palestinians should soon find themselves having new friends.
I saw an online request for help (money) to put iPads into a school (It was via Stephen Colbert's twitter). Tweeted back the question as to why it had to be iPads, if there are notably cheaper Android tablets out there... got a reply that they come back with a reply, and then nothing.
So far I'm mostly curious as to why it has to be this specific brand, as opposed to 100 EUR off-brand Androids, and I've yet to see anyone answer that, beyond, "but...iPad!"
"James Jeffrey Binney, FRS, FInstP (born 1950 in Surrey) is a British astrophysicist. He is a Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford, where he is head of the Sub-Department of Theoretical Physics as well as a Professorial Fellow at Merton College. Binney is known principally for his work in theoretical galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, but he has made a number of contributions to areas outside of astrophysics as well."
Interesting choice, but I'm not sure he is eligible...
If you connect those two points, you're leaving out the part where the ground water gets filtered by the soil.
Every water-treatment plant I've ever seen (only a few, admittedly, and only in Scandinavia) employs Biological Cleaning/Filtration, which mimics the processes done in the soil.
I think the worry with these systems is that as the economy gets worse there's a temptation to stop running them correctly to save money. In the1800s kids drank booze because it was a good way to get safe water...
Up until "recently" (think 1940-1950), beer was the best option for a safe supply of water, and most people would drink a few pints daily. Naturally, this was with a lot less alcohol than most beer today.
They better act fast if they want to skirt the law with yeast, while there's still a law to break. In USA, Pot will be legal nationwide by 2018
At least that's been my bet. According to the LA Times today, the DEA in Washington is showing "fatigue" at enforcing it and the White House is ready to give up on the "war on pot". http://www.latimes.com/nation/...
It took 148 years for the states to agree slavery was bad, you think they'll agree on pot being good in less than a decade?

Wouldn't a trace-route serve to show whether traffic is flowing over a distinctly different route?
instead, most of the world's population now speak Mandarin or Hindi :)

Nothing is obvious to the uninformed.
Quite to the contrary - a lot of things are obvious to The Uninformed, though a lot of those things are wrong...
Precisely the post I came looking for! :)
I'm tired of the airline losing my checked luggage
Stop flying SAS (if European), or American Airlines (if American), and this issue should solve itself.
(sorry, no experience in Asia, and never lost luggage in Africa)

You've been hiding under a rock for forty years if you don't know what those white flags on the Brooklyn bridge mean.
What's a Brooklyn bridge?
He/she/it is clearly bashing the selectiveness of the News Outlets, not The Country.

Seriously, if nVidia and Marvel don't get on that, and kit all the characters in that not-very-good-show with SHIELD tables....
I see no reason why not ... might not be optimal, but technically you can implant anything into breasts.

Is paying TV License (i.e. a per-year usage-fee) the same as paying taxes?
In some (many?) countries, sizable lay-offs have to be announced well in advanced by law - they may just be trying to accommodate for this.
If the data "belongs" to the legal entity Microsoft Ireland, then the US government is at a loss, since it can only demand data from Microsoft US.
