I modded this thread but wanted to respond anyways: maybe it's $-driven. N2 is dirt cheap, almost free while all the "high-tech" drug cocktails used for lethal injection cost $$$$$$$$ to acquire and administer. Since there is a profit incentive hidden somewhere, it might be that the ones profiting from it are actively preventing switching to cheaper methods.

The Motion Picture does not pass the regex: /M | [TN]|B/
1) no word ends with 'M'
2) no word starting with 'T' or 'N' is preceded with a space
3) no B at all

So, I venture that "The Motion Picture" *is* considered the subtitle for the first Star Trek movie.

As far as I am concerned, UK = USA *, so your argument is moot for me.

Now do the same exercise with a real European country.

Whenever I hear the name Formalhaut, I think of the excellent 4X game Ascendancy, since it was often a name chosen for a stellar system.

If you haven't played it yet, I strongly recommend you try now. Apparently LogicFactory made a port to iDevices, but I've only played the x86 version.

you'd be surprised then to learn the Linux kernel has a truckload of it. It's a valid construct with specific application. You can even read Mr. Torvalds' opinion about GOTO statements

may I ask what are those 7 settings you change in your about:config?

she would have parsed, pieced, and posted all that we, techies, needed to know about such a document

reminds me of Ed Stark (Game of Thrones) who holds the sword that decapitated the man he condemned to death.

I recently read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell (yes, that one). I found the modern day political scene very much in sync with the book.

and who do you trust to double check his work?
