As an American, as an American who loves my country, I need to have the courage to face the reality --- that my country has ceased to be the land of the free, the home of the braves, but has turned into an empire which is moving towards oblivion.
This is a genuine question - not rhetorical... and not just to you.
How did the self-perception of the US as "land of the free" and not being a European-style empire ever jive with the possession of overseas territories without equal voting rights?
As an outsider, it seemed that the principles on which the US was founded could not be easily reconciled once it started picking up its own "colonies".
Sisi, head of the Egyptian armed forces, said in a televised announcement that Morsi had been removed from power, the Constitution had been suspended, and Adli al-Mansour, leader of Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court, had been appointed to lead the country until elections can be held.
I never thought he'd have the guts to do it. But clearly he's no believer in nominative determinism.
Although it's called telegram, you can be sure belgacom doesn't have a pair of operators to translate your email into morse code so it can be sent to the other side. Whereas in India, they literally have someone sitting on a wire clicking short and long signs.
He's not a dictator in any sense. A majority of Turks are very clearly supportive of him. There is very little doubt about this.
Very true. Most protestors don't want to admit it, but it is the case (or at least was the case at election time).
The issue here is the conflict between the urban and rural folks in Turkey. Rural areas are not really developed, thickly populated and essentially exist in conditions that modern urban dweller would find atrocious, similar to those found in early 1900s.
This is not entirely correct. A large base of AK Parti support comes from a new weathly ubran elite that has been nurtured by the current government at the expense of both the traditional secular elites and the traditional leftist opposition, who both despise Erdogan. But the AKP has pushed their agenda too far and their crackdown on the media has been pretty atrocious. But they were especially foolish in misjudgoing what the reaction there would be to this particular instance of deploying the always violent police against peaceful protestors. If nothing else, one can hope that all this will result in the police being brought in line since they currently act with impunity.
I do not understand your logic. His family might be still there. He could have many cultural ties to Turkey. And he could have a German and a Turkish passport and therefore be Turkish and German.
Just one correction: Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship, so if he has a Turkish passport and Germany finds out, his German citizenship would be revoked.
KDE tried to copy Windows as much as they could - when I saw their annoying Windows-esque dialogue when you connect a USB mass storage device I was done with that.
You stopped using KDE because of a USB connect dialog?
He may still have been manipulated by the 'woman', but knew a little more about what he needed to do (ie carry a suitcase full of cocaine rather than her sentimental suitcase) to get her.
We already have technical people seeking to donate time.
Sounds like a group of people who might have some insight into the problem.
We would need help with various technologies including at least Powershell and We would need help with various technologies including at least Powershell and SQL.SQL.
What does this mean? You need help with Powershell from your project host? Good luck with that.
I've often wondered how the symbiotic relationship between the NFL and the US military developed.
The military seems to be incorporated into the spectacle of every NFL game (playoffs only?), and broadcasts incorporate nationalist and militarist messages at several points throughout the games.
It's clear that the two feed off eachother now, and it is no surprise that the sport is being fed back into the armed forces to reinforce the message.
Perhaps they do some hashing of the file on the client before uploading and then search for a match to avoid uploading and storing the same data? Would this be a security issue though?
Hashing the files before you encrypt them would give you... the hash of the unencrypted files. How is that going to help store two encrypted files?
This weird criminal somehow has 50 GB * 1,000,000 = 47.6 petabytes of enterprise storage? Without getting one dollar? How is this paid for? Not to mention all the data traffic back and forth which will be even more expensive?
1. Not every user is using 50gb. 2. He has lots of money. 3. He is investing in a new enterprise and knows that he has to spend money first in order to make money in the future.
I assumed all that was fairly obvious. What's your theory, by the way?
The original Muslims were conquered by the Mongols and the Turks who later converted to Islam and took on their customs. A lot of the Turkish people were Jewish at the time they conquered the arabs.
There were Jewish and, especially, Christian Turks (or rather Turkic peoples)*, but those that conquered the Arabs were long Muslim.
You know must of us English speakers, both in the USA and else were would have written "So Much of Australia is on Fire" for a headline. "Australia Is On So Much Fire" Sounds like George Lucas is posting now.

Didn't Mint do something vaguely similar by patching a package to redirecting searches to earn income for the distro rather than the original package authors?

That sounds like telegraph, not telegram.

The Anglos have to work all the time to pay for your equalizations payments frenchy.
In fairness, a plurality want their own country but us Anglos don't want them to have it.

So he's switched from the "Worst Red Hat Distro" to the worst Debian distro. Got it.
Is there any evidence whatsoever that it was "Islamist Hackers" that shut down the journal? What happened to the "negotiations with the hacker"?
Why was the blog hosted by Blogger shut down? Surely it wasn't being hacked was it?
Something seems out of place...

Is it just me, or shouldn't Lego be an uncountable noun?
It's always been just Lego to me, and if I need to identify them individually, they are bricks or pieces.
No, not a joke about "real" vs "sham" tanks...
Just wanted to point out that Sham is also the Arabic name for Damascus.
Looks like they both might have been doing it: Linux Mint Diverting Banshee Revenue.
Try Mint. You will never go back to Ubuntu.

Compare to our Canadian (1/10 population) gun registry it cost up to $2B and scrapped.
$2B that would have been better allocated to teaching you punctuation and grammar!
