For normal non-international trains there is no scanning/passport control, its just the international Eurostar which pretty much operates like an airport so you get there an hour or so before to clear passport control anyway.
". The guys spotted the suspect while on the street in Brussels, and followed him to the train station, and then followed him on the train, and followed him to the toilet (ca an hour after getting on the train), and only then 'threw themselves on a grenade'." - you'll need to post a citation for that claim
When i come back from Paris via eurostar, everyones' bags are scanned because the return journey is controlled by british customs. it won't take that long to scan everyones bags as its not like an airport where you have to get luggage stowed in the hold, virtually everything on the Eurostar is hand luggage. there is no reason not to have a scanner next to the passport control so the passenger can have his bag scanned as his passport is checked, it takes about the same time.
someone takes John McAfee seriously??? the fact that his company writes software to try and fix the deficiencies in Windows operating systems blows that comment out of the water
yes, when the religious claim there is scientific evidence for their dogma e.g. the earth is 6000 years old. Not for theologians on scientific articles.
They "might" not believe it but they will throw it in your face as "proof" that there is no climate change. I think this is a fantastic idea, it should become mandatory on all media articles about anything not just climate change. I'd like to see it used on claims made in religious articles.
"Trump is going to be good for one thing: getting the Republicans to have a real debate on immigration." - people like this do not create a real debate, they just create division and give the racist and xenophobes a platform to voice their distasteful opinions. You cannot have a real debate with these types of people.
Its a vicious circle. Years ago we all wanted cheaper computer hardware so it all got outsourced to places like china and we all jumped for joy and no-one cared about our local workers who built those computers when they lost their jobs. Software developers are just the next step on that cycle. If you want cheaper software, you have to attack the largest part of the cost and in the end, the bosses get bigger pay packets and consumers might get a cheaper product. I remember the days when Microsoft were screaming for hardware manufacturers to lower the prices and where microsoft would not lower their prices.
you have nice and shiney toys like phones, cars, medicine etc thanks to scientists, do you count that as doom and gloom? Its easy to forget the good stuff
I don't know the history of Cuyahoga river but if its similar to the Thames then it was polluted by man until there were no fish and then man cleaned up the pollution it created and now the fish have come back.
Are you really going to get a reasonable poll of muslims who like under the yoke? Most of these muslims live under threat of being maimed or killed by the self-appointed or government sanctioned sharia police to keep them subdued so you are not going to get a truthful answer in case the pollsters are working for the government. Its like saying all germans were nazies because they were german.
"There's nothing reasonable about putting yourself on a pedestal because of your beliefs. " the ones that do that are the ones that fit into the unreasonable sector as far as i'm concerned, the majority tend to keep their head down and live and let live. Minorities are always louder and appear to be a bigger number than they really are.
"There's a billion muslims out there who could stand up and show disgust for the atrocities. " - bear in mind these billions are generally subdued by various factions who enforce extreme sharia law so they are not going to put their head above the rafters like this blogger did. we have plenty of muslim leaders here in the Uk condemning these nutters.
"When a wacko Christian does something wrong and claims his faith, Christians stand up and condemn that person. " westborough church is still running... don;t see many christian organisations voicing support for personal freedom of choice with regards abortion and gay marriage...
Seems like you are lumping all muslims into the "mad nutters of ISIS" category. the majority of muslims are just like the majority of christians and jews whose religion is Abrahamic based, just fine and reasonable. Even though anyone who believes in gods etc are deluded, they can still be reasonable human beings.
"There are really no rules in war" - there are "The Hague laws and Geneva Conventions are some of the most widely applied of these international agreements."
Killing civilians in a conflict is abominable whether it be the carpet (or atomic) bombing of cities (Nagasaki, London, Dresden, etc) or herding people into concentration camps and gassing them.
Sure, the winners get a "pass" on their war crime atrocities as they write the history books but it does not make it right or something worth boasting about. As time passes, the history of events gets updated and corrected and the next generation reap the guilt of their forefathers actions.

everything you've written there about systemd show you are just a anti-systemd troll - time to get a new record to wear out
its not necessarily the ACPI, its the manufacturers implementation of it and their need to bodge it to make sure it works on windows.
yes, you could kick them all out to save water and that in turn will close down the farms they work on and that will save even more water....

Perfect? You mean complete with security holes as well?

You might not have, but there are the few that do and use their "holy book" to justify it.
True.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

yes, but is it ALL the APIs including the "secret" ones?
as he is an AC, he probably didn't read a word of the article
