I too am not really that worried personally, as I got a Norwegian passport... One of the five countries with arctic territories and all the latest climate models put us in a really nice position on all counts. Hell, we've been making buddies with Russia thanks to our shared interests in the North so once the hungry masses of climate-refugees start pouring north to get their dirty hands on that arctic goodies we'll have the military might to keep them out.

Not to mention we're rich, so we can buy our way out of any food or energy shortage. Hell, I can't see any reason at all to worry as long as I keep my egocentrical view of the world.

And in this case it looks like they didn't have any laws to stop an American from leeching on their Health Care without paying taxes... Someone thought it was a good idea to exploit his Thai passport.

No it isn't...

If you want to see the answer to what one does with such a large source of oil wealth in a small country, on looks to Norway. When brand new desalination plants are built that run on oil you know there's a serious lack of forward-thinking.

Yet how will this interoperate with the Japanese version of RedHat MEME when that starts at UID 8000?

What next, CS students get slack for not knowing how to read and write, addition and multiplication, and all the other skills you're expected to have when entering a high-level field of study?

Computer science isn't a vocation education... You're there to learn the theory and techniques of programming, amongst other things. If you haven't taught yourself the basics of programming by the time you enroll then you deserve that F.

I'm sure those who posted those twits have 13 BILLION dollars under their beds, just in case they say something a rich football player doesn't like.

There are some very interesting theories regarding how the brain's preference towards false positives due to survival pressure, and how that leads to a preposition towards religion.

Everyone knows he liked women, that has never been the issue unless you are one of those who think everyone who isn't monogamous and/or virgins until they get married... A pervert would be someone who employs more buttplugs than there are butts, not someone who just likes sex.

The issue here is that considering the Euro Debt Crisis and how much of a change in direction his resignation would herald, we're talking about half a trillion dollars worth of Greek debt that will end up being restructured... In addition the domino-effect it will have.

So this could very well be a setup, where they aimed at his virility. Or someone who realized how much money they could sue for, after getting paid for giving a blowjob. Or the guy might have gotten a bit too excited going beyond what she was willing to do. Or it might have been a real attempted rape as claimed.

There's already some test projects doing that in Norway.

I'll just leave Stephen Fry's wise words regarding this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxxiS4m9OSg

LOL weeabo, stop trying so hard... It's really embarrassing when I'm with some japanese friends and we meet a newbie gaijin like you.

When they ask if it's normal for white people to be like that, I tell them it's mostly just the Americans.

The Chernobyl reactor was brand new... If you're going to be all panic mode about stuff at least get the easily verifiable facts right.

I remember hearing an interview with an astronaut regarding the end of the shuttle program, and he was amazed at how these complex and flexible machines were 50 years before their time.

However that is also the problem... They were over-engineered and used too much new tech with no clear objective or familiarity with the demands of the hardware. Basically they lept forward when they would have been better off taking measured steps.

Proving once again that ignorance of proper terminology leads to stupidity.

And remove the joy of discovery when you google the term? Why for...
