Surely that should be "iPeed", if it's detecting moisture?

See also "NORMAL ROAD". Meaning a road with a single lane in each direction.

This is why I said "normal road", meaning a road with a single lane of traffic in each direction.

If the speed limit is 50, and I am driving at 50, you are welcome to overtake where safe to do so if you wish - but I will not actively get out your way by pulling over.

More accurately: It's not your fault, but you'll get blamed for it anyway.

Which is stupid, really.

If you are driving at the limit, on a normal road, and some twat behind you wants to pass - tough. He can either overtake or wait.

Would it not have been less complex to use PosgreSQL for everything, or was there enough difference to be worth the complexity?

Which, unless otherwise specified, we assume we are.

I had assumed that "netbook in the form of a tablet" was referring to capability and performance, and so forth. The post made plenty of sense that way.

Why do you think my first point is irrelevant?

Without knowing anything I asked, you have no more proof that torture has had any benefit than I have proof that this cheese sandwich keeps lions away.

If an entity like wikileaks can find something out, then so can any actual hostile entities (other countries, whatever).

If it's something that really should be secret, then something's been done horribly wrong if it gets to wikileaks or to anyone else. Anything else shouldn't be secret in the first place.

How many unsuccessful ones?

Of the unsuccessful ones, how many were even slightly related to information provided from torture?

How many of those would not have been discovered otherwise?

And what makes you think that information extracted under torture is going to be reliable? The victims will say whatever they hope will make the torturer stop. That might be the truth, it might be fiction.

My apologies; I got lost somewhere.

Of course they wouldn't. Why should they?

Most "Democracies" in the world are at best democratic republics.
