But the video recordings will be confidential and you will need a freedom of information request that will be rejected on "national security" grounds

To obtain the GPS coordinates of cats on the area?

Well, that is still much better than in the US. In Britain the patients at least have medical records. In the US (If you have seen Michael Moore movie Siko) perple are better off going to Cuba to get medical service

I fail to see the technical or scientific relevance of this post

Do you think that if I take all the mud from the laptop, get elecricity and internet working I'll be able to cast my vote that will be meaningless anyway because both candidates (Which try to appear different) will please the corporations rather than the electorate?

You sound like steve balmer (I meant it as a bad thing)

10? That many?

BMW did that in 2007 and it was tested by jeremy Clarckson from Top Gear. Unfortunately, BBC owns the intellectual property of the video nad has been removed from youtube

However, for several years, I did train Kyokushin full contact Karate. My sensei insisted that when fighting, we should look at the opponents solar plexus as when fighting every movement of the opponent comes from an limb (Either arm or leg) attached and controlled by the torso. By focusing on the solar plexus, you have “advanced warning” of what the opponent is going to do, but the eyes can lie. Using our eyes to lie to the opponent was another thing our sensei told us how to do and tiny seemingly unimportant things can make quite a difference when fighting.

I have been reading slashdot for years. Racism is not "provocative thought" nor fun. It is just pathetic

I would expect administrators to remove this kind of racist rubbish from the site. No wonder the poster did it as anonymous coward. This kind of attitude has no place in civilized society

It is quite possible that is not because those people have a bank account with HSBC, but what else do they have and what do they do. Perhaps some senior public servants? Perhaps some powerful entreperneurs (Yes that is a French word) that can influence law makers. Somehow, this offended some people that was too risky to offend.

"Scientists, through the Army-funded research". Is it there a better example of an oxymoron?

We are looking at a bunch of trigger happy want-to-be-soldiers that dream of doing something as senseless as killing someone else. Only 72%? I would have expected a higher percentage from that crowd. Essentially, the only skills required to play that kind of game are very basic analytical abilities, good eye hand coordination and a fast finger. Anything that requires deep thought and understanding of the consequences of their actions is not required. Very much like soldiers. You do not want any thinkers there, just follow orders and go to kill.

Absolutely, just like you have the option of believing that politicians are honest and work for the benefit of the electorate. Oh, by the way, you may want to become a devil worshiper!
