The laws should be identical to the extent possible, between different forms of currency.
Hamas hides military weaponry in schools, hospitals, civilian homes, etc.
Where on the Gaza map are the Palestinians permitted their military bases and installations?
What's stopping them from building military bases away from civilian areas? If they separated their fighters from their civilians like most modern countries, so that their enemies can focus military attacks on military targets (this being the purpose of separating the military from civilians), they'd see a dramatic reduction in civilian casualties.
The only reason that the fighters hide among Gaza's civilians is because Israel values the lives of Gaza's civilians. Conversely, the fighters value their cause as not only worth dying for, but also worth sacrificing civilians for. Not only are the civilians excellent shields, but also every martyred civilian is an excellent tool for recruitment and donations, while also tarnishing Israel's reputation reducing Israel's recruitment and outside assistance, in every way helping the cause.
It's funny because "fire" and "coal".
I know of other groups who would be very interested in being able to print warheads... and might not be able to build anything but primitive warheads with their current technology. I hope they're better at keeping secrets than other branches of government.
Chromebook is perfect for the sort of people who don't understand the difference between a computer and the internet. The lack of ability to install anything you want (aka malware) with just a click is in this case a bonus.
to tweet her rudeness after you land.
No can do, he was trying to use his l33t tweeting skillz to convince her to let his kids board earlier (rather than himself boarding later with them, or separately). Thus he had to inform her of the tweet. Probably also why he complained about her by name but without mentioning the circumstances (aka he was being denied a favor, presumably after being incredibly rude).
Of course the agent in question will probably lose her job for this, but that would be due to the escalation rather than following policy. I hope that the end result of this won't be that jerks with twitter accounts get special privileges.
Aren't they working on robotic replacements already?
Mortuary Science
There are people working to eliminate that entire field. But its probably a safe job for at least a couple of decades.
Apparently releasing the code could "leave the voting system open to hacking or manipulation."
Maybe they just shouldn't have used code that they know or expect to have vulnerabilities. Open it up to the public; there are plenty of people who will look at it and help fix it.
Every "unique" idea that I thought of turned out to have already been studied exhaustively back in the 70's or earlier. All the favorite students in the grad program were people who ignored this inconvientent fact and managed to get rehashed bullshit accepted into conferences.
I suppose that's one way to accomplish the unglamorous task of checking, or refining, the work of earlier scientists.
I conducted an online poll, and the overwhelming consensus was that the GCHQ was not manipulating poll results. In fact, most of the people commenting said that the GCHQ were the greatest, most honest, and most trustworthy agency on the planet.
I can see policy like this bringing current globalization trend to a screeching halt as companies would split to have daughter companies incorporated and operating only in certain countries to shield them against this kind of abuse.
What, and give up their tax havens?
10 days ago, I wondered how long it would take someone to make a website to anti-censor google. I guess I got my answer.
In other news, people who were most worried about the government misusing their taxes, tended to pay the most taxes.
