A nuclear powered bomber, hmm, I remember those, they never got off the drawing board. So US navy, a navy that refuses to declare whether they have nuclear weapons on board or not, so all US ships by your definition are nuclear, well, ain't that just nuclear. Word of the day for you NUCLEAR ;). Apparently if it is Russian it is Nuclear and if it is US then it is what? a flower petal carrier, come to sprinkle flower petals over you land to win you over and has a record of visiting many lands and sprinkling many flower petals over many people ;D.

Well, yeah, the US is busily privatising the US prison system and of course recidivism is their number one major profit centre. In point of fact wasting money on rehabilitation is not only a wasted cost but actively disrupts a core profit centre, so it is against the interests of investors. Kind of tough luck that those investors will become the target of the crimes that they expect prison management to 'PROMOTE'. America, STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.

Seriously bugger off. You can stick a nuke in anything, any ship, any plane, any rubber dingy. OHHHHHH look it's propeller bomber, that has only been used for long range reconnaissance for years. ICBM, long range cruise missiles and submarines are all the deployment methods of choice. So why is the US carrying on like a great big ole bag of dicks, hmm, possibly because they are a great big ole bag of wrinkly white pseudo Christian dicks. How about the armoured convoy through Europe, what's the message there, once you are in NATO there is no leaving NATO and NATO is the US Army not your local token armies, so obey or else. Yep, the empire is collapsing so now the US military dick waving must occur across the globe because stupid, just because stupid will always expose it self more and more as failure becomes more apparent, just like the typical flasher.

Much more simply they can be more diplomatically effective. Ignore and rebuke the stupid stuff like this and ridicule the individual responsible for the stupid demand ie Russia wants to refuel planes, it flies in international territories, SO FUCKING WHAT, morons, it is not a time of war so piss off. Perhaps not in those words but certainly you want to find out who was the individually responsible for the request and front them directly. Where real contention arises simply invite affected parties to discuss the issue directly between themselves at a venue to host and chair. Keep the status quo going, whilst the discussion continue. The will not be able to refuse a public request to attend the conference and whilst it goes on and on and on, you don't have to do a single thing about the requests being made.

Being diplomatic is often more about saying neither yes nor nor but maintaining communications in order to delay undesirable outcomes whilst tensions difuse and the need for the undesirable outcomes evaporates. In this case blatant toddler behaviour, where the child is lashing out making demands as a result of global frustration from failures in other regions, really just needs to be ignored or a public meeting where Russian and US government representatives can discus the issues directly in a location within Vietnam and the Vietnam government will chair the meeting.

Think of a big screen all in one computer with multiple remote tablets. Each participant gets their own networked tablet which they can view their own particular output whilst controlling the outcomes on the big screen in a multi-user environment. We are maturing into a computerised environment and the push is already occurring into making it an inclusive, shared with those around you environment, rather than an exclusive, disconnecting from those around you environment. You are looking at more digitised board gaming , easy to learn, short play times and high re-playability, more interactive and more visual, taking into account the outputs on the individual tablet, rather than the big screen. Obviously tying this back to internet play, for when not all players are in the room.

So it is not a TV, it is simply a big screen 50 inch or greater all in one computer with tablets 10 inch or greater as the remotes (plural, more than one can play at a time with a user name - password master tablet ie sudo stop changing the fucking channel ;D). Dumbly consuming content would be the least of it's roles.

A little more expensive but likely more effective would be remoting a tablet to the larger screen. So everything done on the tablet occurs on the larger screen, a more accessible touch interface. With the likely speed of input the tablet replace the keyboard and you call up a keyboard function on it without disturbing the main screen view, this also provides the audio and visual signalling interface on the tablet.

That is the failure of a criminal justice system based upon punishment and not rehabilitation. With a system based purely on rehabilitation, with specific crimes where risk of server consequence is high, no rehabilitation, no release. That becomes much more feasible where detention conditions are much more humane and the concern is protecting the public, whilst still endeavouring to achieve rehabilitation.

Well, it certainly seems like M$ spent most of the last decade doing the exact opposite. Start menu - gone, working file manager - gone, busted arse copyright system - forced in and kept regardless, idiot ribbon - no choice for old system, phone gui on desktop - no choice basically a big old fuck you to the customers, again and again and again and well it's the M$ way. Critique them and expect abuse not a fix.

Sorry but it is illegal for government employees to participate in politics whilst on the taxpayer dime, during working hours. Whilst not at work, using you private equipment and connection, fine, have at it but when at work, electoral laws kick in and tax payer dollars can not be used for political purposes, well, at least they are not meant to be. These laws are being criminally flouted so often at every level in a corrupt marriage between government and news organisations, at the demand of their owners, the major multinational corporations, it all seems rather quaint to expect any of them to obey any laws at all any more with regard to elections.

In this case the facts here have nothing to do with Assange or rape, the fact here is the United States government after recent rather lethal shenanigans in Europe ie the Ukraine, in now on the out and Sweden just wants to make this particular political eye sore disappear and move on, along with creating a bit of political distance between itself and the bas ole US of A.

It is the prime example of the problem. Australia, did much the same with all research being required to generate a profit and Conservative political parties. As such all research that was for the public good but that could only be given away free was cut off. The problem is corporate psychopathic greed entering into science as other areas have already been exploited and there is a massive drive to do to universities and science, to match what was done to news organisations and pharmaceutical corporations, 'LIES FOR PROFIT'. When lies and token fines generate the highest profit than that is exactly what US led corporations will do, it does not matter the field or what associated fields also need to be corrupted or the possibly human life consequences, 'MORE PROFITS NOW'.

The problem is psychopathy, we have let them get in charge of government and corporations and they are doing exactly what they are genetically predisposition to doing, lying, cheating, stealing and killing, with a complete absence of conscience. From police, to schools, to hospitals to any area you can imagine, they are causing chaos in their mad rush for power and to feed their greed.

Bitcoin is doomed, not so much because of the many crooked things people associated with it do but because every con man and their dog want to start their own easy to mine at start currency and build up imaginary stockpiles of hundred of millions of dollars before releasing it to the suckers. Basically, they all end up eating each lunch and the fraudulent of impact forces legislation and because you can not legislate to include one or two crypto-ponzi-currencies whilst banning the rest, by law it is all or nothing and hence all will inevitably be banned.

Vested interest opinions rarely make any sense, generally being based on desires and propaganda, rather than facts. It is hardly surprising that governments would ban ponzi currencies. Every time some crazy new scam comes to and end, those who thought they were going to end up get rich quick millionaires run around screaming about, freedom and the right to lie, cheat and steal and fraud is protected free speech and, and, and, what ever else they can scream about in the childish rage about being cheated from cheating.

The real threat is not direct, it is all indirect, in the delusional world, of mass marketing, advertising, exclusivity and fads. Watch makers where already suffering in the, "why bother I have a clock in my phone and it also reminds me of the weather or anything else that might crop up and it provides me with usable screen space" market. So apple jumping in with pseudo pumped margins and marketing exclusivity will toxify the market and kill that faddish statement of wearing an exclusive time piece because 'er' 'um' you want to show off wearing a exclusive time piece because you are special because 'er' 'um' you can afford to buy one. That market collapses when it gets exposed for what it is, suckers trying to buy an image.

What a load of PR crap. It is more akin to, I think I heard a gunshot, time to drop a nuke from orbit it's the only way to be certain.

This incessant US bullshit that all forms of policing should be allowed to act as law en-FORCE-ment outside the purview of the courts is crazy and the direct reason so many of you are being killed by steroid rage junkies.

There is only one answer to idiotic requests like this, NO, sorry, fuck off, go through the courts, we don't trust you, which is, DUH, why fucking courts in the first place, WE DO NOT TRUST YOU. Courts are about forcing the government to prove the validity of any action it takes against citizens.
