A lot of work that used to require physical presence can now be done remotely. Not necessarily from home, but from computers at an office that doesn't have to be located at the site where the machine is. So offices move to where the people are rather than making people move to where the materials are. So you don't have to move groceries for those people as far either. Facetime, remote, telepresence will take over travel per capita as tech improves.
I've always said one of the causes of certain crime rates to be high is the selective enforcement and the 'luck' factor that plays into it. In a perfect world, every crime should be caught and prosecuted, or removed from the books. If every drunken driver was caught every time, there would be reduced penalty and it would almost never happen.

It's going primarily to Britain via contracts assigned by the Iraqi puppet democracy. They've always seen Mesopotamia and Persia as their exclusive colonies. They blockaded it by building Kuwait as an artificial state before WWI, blockading other Great Powers from accessing it. They tore down the railroad access from Baghdad through the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) to the Axis powers, they convinced the US to assassinate the pro-communist elected head of Iran and place the Shah because they would lose their exclusive oil access to Persia, and so on.. to the Iraq war. They've had assistance from the big superpower since the sun finally set on their empire after WW2.
There is semantic value in english for dollars as well. You wouldn't say "I have a 20 dollars note." You would say "I have a 20 dollar note." You also wouldn't say "It's a two hundred dollars fine."
In the 80's and early 90's, the internet's had a feel of a frontier environment with the freedom we've had. Since the Eternal September, it's had more and more pressure to confirm to the most conservative taboos as the average population demographic changes. This happened to the new world, happened to the west, and now the internet.
This isn't the first place I've heard this, but this terminology confuses me. I would think being anti-communist would qualify her as being a rightist as communism is seen as leftist. Or do the terms here mean something other than what I'm used to?
Actually, I have found UPS to have worse service where I live than anything else I've had deliveries from. Their comments on their tracking system have included blatant lies. For example, putting in comments that I called and corrected an address, when I had only rescheduled a new delivery time or agents telling me conflicting information. I would actually be extremely happy if amazon.ca switched their deliveries here from UPS to even the post office as UPS is the primary reason I hesitate from ordering from them.
You can state true things with flawed logic. When he does so, it gives his opponents the opportunity to pick his arguments to argue against rather than stronger reasoning. Although it may not falsify the conclusion drawn, it is politically expedient to argue against certain broken arguments and seem like you win.
This math should have been kept top secret so the terrorists couldn't use it to plan future attacks where we, using this math, would not expect them to.:-/ Now it's already obsolete.
I remember reading about the PB taking over the domain name of the IFPI and putting a website in its place calling it the 'International Federation of Pirate Interests'. It was all done legit as far as I remember. If ICANN gave it back to the recording industry arbitrarily, then yeah, I can see Peter's point. ICANN should behave by the consistent rules on this rather than taking a single company's word "That was ours, but we forgot to renew the name." and take the domain from some new name owner.
The thing is, that one day, the AES-256 encryption will be cracked. Maybe tomorrow, or in 20 years, who knows. So the best the powers that don't want this information out can hope for, is time. But this file is out, and you can rest assured that whatever it contains will one day be known. If it's names for the informants in the afghan war, hopefully revenge won't be brought against them 10 years from now or to their kids. If it's Kennedy assassination information, well eventually we will know that instead.
Yeah, but merchant vessels can't really carry artillery because of naval law. They'd have to deal with a lot more hassle at foreign ports if they did. That's why it's mostly only military vessels that are armed, and they have more hassle entering foreign owned waters. Something like nets and golf guns might bypass weapon laws.
While suspicious, I don't see wrongdoing here, but my fortran-fu is weak.
It looks like a value "yearlyadj" is being calculated from the fudged numbers to create a hockeystick, but the part of the code that would plot "yearlyadj" with oplot is commented out, and some other numbers (perhaps the real ones?) are used instead in the 2 lines subsequently below.
Perhaps the fudge numbers were being used to test the program before the real numbers were found? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You'd be surprised at how many ideas footnoted with "they'd never do that for real" ended up as predictions.

It's not just the div by zero. You also flipped a sign between step 3 and 4.
a^2 = ab
does not proceed to
a^2 - b^2 = a^2 - ab
(of course, they are both = 1, so doesn't really matter, though it's not usually how this misproof works.

Actually, I would call it a blockade.
Sometimes, it can be fun though. We have the science of star trek, why not the science of the holy books? :)
TFA blog post begins with "On Friday, Dec 6th". That can't be right, Dec, 6th was a Monday. When are they talking about?
It doesn't seem to be the absolute number of tweets, but rather the increase div size.
dt/t where t is the # of tweets.
That's just from the hints dropped from the above posts and links though, so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

That's kinda like comment lines reliably not making it to the machine code.
Wonder if this happens in humans too. Prob the female wouldn't be believed in that case though.
There's an option for simultaneous or strict turn based in freeciv. I forget what it is as it's been a few years.
Hrm.. I see a market for an app for that.

Mod parent up. The article is about the guy saying C++ is complicated, not C. There is a world of a difference.
