Obviously you didn't read it either.
Jews have never fought wars to convert a populace. All the wars in Deuteronomy are over revenge or simply territory. Such was life in the ANE. The ancient Jews were nomads who wanted to settle. Whether an escape from Egypt ever happened or not is irrelevant.
Science fiction isn't fiction that has elements that aren't science but might appeal to geeks who like science....Science fiction is science that is fictional. Very different animal and naturally restrictive.
You are using a defintion of a term, which is at odds with the defintions of that term used by almost every other educated native speaker of English. This will probably make it hard for you to communicate. You might want to look to that.
Luckily, he is James Risen from the New York Times... If he were James Rosen from Fox News...he would be labeled a criminal co-conspirator and flight risk by Eric Holder so that they could trace his phone calls and emails.
They snooped on Rosen. That's bad.
They snooped on Risen and threatened, repeatedly over the past six years, to lock him up. That's worse.
Both journalists were attempting to enable the American people to keep tabs on the U.S. government (supposedly "theirs", in reality owned by corporate interests and the security-industrial complex). Your partisan take on the matter is counter-factual.
We love to rag on cops, but they do a dangerous job
Farmers are more likely to be killed on the job than cops are, and most cops who die on the job die in vechicular accidents, not assaults. Cops' seige mentality is bullshit.
If you start firing cops for every mistake or worse, jailing them, you quickly run out of cops
(Of course a citizen watch would be a huge social/poltiical change. But I'm not sure anything less than a huge social/poltiical change would fix the problem.)
You and OP look to be in the same clan when he claims they're doing this "in a rather violent manner". Hyperbole much?
An unjustifed arrest is assault and kidnapping. It is a violent crime.
That's true even when the pigs (and those who trample citizen's rights deserve that epithet) don't apply chemical weapons or electrical torture devices, or beat citizens into submission, or use lethal force.
If I forced someone into a cage at gunpoint for no good reason, I would go to jail for a long time. The same should apply to a cop.
I guess you've never seen a regular web user. They don't write documents at the same time they're reading a website.
At home, perhaps their media masters have managed to turn the web into as passive and one-way a medium as television. But at work, even these drones are quite likely creating documents in a word processor, or e-mail messages in their MUA, or entering data into a web form, while referring to another document (e-mail message, website).
There is a reason that every physical desk is in landscape mode. Put documents next to each other.
This.
This is exactly why I really wanted to go all-Linux after Windows XP. I found I just couldn't do it; I do, after all, work as a
Sigh. I might be able to hold on using Windows 7 for 20 years... perhaps. If there's no decent MS alternative by then, I'll probably be foreced to pay Microsoft a rent.
This doesn't seem unqiue to Australia. It seems right in line with what The UK, France, the US, etc. are doing.
If you want fast computer, get at least 16GB RAM. Turn OFF swap. Enjoy.
Until you run out of RAM and start losing data.
You made a stupid choice
Not necessarily. They may have violated a stupid law.
A drug offense 5 yrs ago, with proof of a completed drug treatment program for instance isn't going to stop me from hiring a good IT worker.
What if it was marijuana and the guy wasn't actually, you know, harming society? You shouldn't even require a drug "treatment" program for that kind of "offence".
That is an invalid complaint to lay at Objective-C's feet. Objective-C is designed, even now, to be a strict super-set of C. There is no way to overload operators in such a context and still maintain compatibility with C.
And then benefit is to the residence/owner is what, exactly? They have a solar installation on their roof, and you're still charging them the same rate?
I don't know why you hold up the BBC as a shining example. They put out the line of the current government which, as it's conservative, involves regular scare stories and bullshit regarding euthanasia and cannabis.
And you're thinking that George Washington was one of those idiots who thought a little tyranny would work out well?
George Washington the aristocratic slaveholder who crushed the Whiskey Rebellion, screwing over farmers (including many Revolutionary War vets) to pay off bondholders? I'd say "a little tyranny would work out well" might be a decent description of his stance, sure.
