It seems NSA is the most popular buzzword for people to bitch about when 90% of the nerds posting here would actually secretly give their left net to get a job at.
I know I'd give my left, right and inter-net to work at the NSA.
Status.net and Pump.io are already distributed, open-source replacements for Twitter.
And anyway, what is American Military going to do, team up with Al Qaeda and Hezbollah to attack Syria and kill hundreds of thousands more people in the middle east?
Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah are not on the same side.
Or you can press Ctrl+Shift+Del. One of the options (which should already be checked if you used it last time) is to clear the cache. A three-key combination and a button click and you're done, with no plugins needed.
I also like the Ctrl+Alt+Del option. I've yet to see a website that can track me after that.
From the BBC article you linked to
The Harappan language died out and did not form the basis of other languages.
Dr Meadow: "The earliest inscriptions date back to 3500 BC."
"So probably we will never know what the symbols mean," Dr Meadow told BBC News Online from Harappa.
What historians know of the Harappan civilisation makes them unique. Their society did not like great differences between social classes or the display of wealth by rulers. They did not leave behind large monuments or rich graves.
They appear to be a peaceful people who displayed their art in smaller works of stone.
Their society seems to have petered out. Around 1900 BC Harappa and other urban centres started to decline as people left them to move east to what is now India and the Ganges.
So in this case, the civilisation lasted for less than 5000 years...
(Just for reference, here's the original quote you had an issue with: Every civilization with written records has existed for less than 5,000 years.)
Dolphin story debunked (twice):
Dolphin naming?
Dolphins using personal names, again
I'm going to assume that the wolf story is as much nonsense.
I'm sitting at beach.country.pineapple and my co-worker is at closing.rheumatoid.begin. How does that help someone find out if he's 6 feet away or 6000 miles away?
And how do you spell "rheumatoid" again?
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.
I'm just a dumb Canadian... Is WA ever used for Washington DC?
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.
That sounds like telegraph, not telegram.
I hear an NSA contractor has an opening in Hawaii. Pays $200,000.
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.
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.
You know, the difference between this company and the Titanic is that the Titanic had paying customers.
