What a moron you are. This is not an act of war. It has no other purpose but institute fear. Random killings of Muslims is a very broad statement. Are you referring to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? As far as I can recall the general effort was to avoid random killings. I also recall couple of prosecutions of such killings. In fact most of the random killings in both places were preformed by muslims using the same terror tactics you just condoned to intimidate the local population or to eradicate the people not belonging to the same sect. If you are unhappy with the US/UK governments you are strongly encouraged to run for office or campaign for change following the low of the land. But justifying random killings is disgusting. As far as suffering of the muslim people, it is a bit single sided to accuse only US (which undoubtedly has a role in this). US and the West as a whole have been very good at defending their interest, quite unceremoniously I should say. They do it for the most part because they can. And the reason they have this ability is no small part due to their rapidly developing societies, where individuals take responsibility and participate in governance and do their best not to be encumbered by prejudice and religion. In case you are going to refer me to some extreme christian denominations, let me point out that they exist side by side with a host of other religions and their wings are quickly clipped off when they pass the line demarcating free speech from hate speech. Now in the light of this there is also other ways to defend you interest without random bombings or meat cleaver attacks. China is a good example of alternative strategy to the western world. Still even China's success is based on setting aside religious prejudice and focusing on technological advance.

No, but the customer will have fun time with US customs when the package arrives.

Life unlike computers is analogue.

They use an attenuated strain, so it is not going to give you an infection. They can probably charge double - once for cancer treatment and a second time for your Listeria vaccination. From table 2 in the article it appears that the bacteria are cleared from the normal tissue within a week.

The formula that better describes its properties is FOOF. You can read a very entertaining description of its synthesis and properties here. Comparing FOOF to the stuff from "The Anarchist Coockbook" is like comparing Saturn 5 rocket to a firecracker. Yes they both blow up, but FOOF can make water explode at subzero temperatures. Here is a quote from Stern, AG, The Chemical Properties of Dioxygen Difluoride, JACS 1963:

BTW I strongly recommend reading Derek's "Things I Won't Work With" blog. It is a lot of fun.

The app developers will not be displaying ads on glass, but this doesn't mean that Google will not make add revenue from this device. I can see at least two ways to that: 1. The information they gather on you from the device will probably be used to increase the value of the targeted ads on their other platforms: google search, Google+, Gmail. 2. They can can show on top of the search (like they do in google search) or mark more prominently on the maps paying businesses. Some developers on android seem to do well without selling ads, so they shouldn't be affected by this rule. Others that distribute for free and rely on flashy adds, will have to drop out are make their offerings attractive enough for the users to pay fro them.

It does to an extent: Do a search or just open a journal at the table of contents page. Then click on the 'add to zotero' icon, which in this case will looks as a folder. You will be presented with a list, that you can download in bulk.

Papers was picked up by Springer and now Mendelay is becoming part of Elsevier. This may have a silver lining for zotero. Papers, Mendeley and Zotero use CSL for formatting the references in the text. This means that the publishers now will have a very strong incentive to provides the CSL files for their publication, as they have done all along with the EndNote styles. Of course they can just be redirect their users to Zotero for styles or lock the export of CSL files to their preferred reference manager, but in the first case they will hear constant wining from their users and the second case requires quite a bit of work on their side.

Have you tried Zotero Standalone? You can use it with browsers other than FF.

It does have cloud storage.

It does all of the above, and then some.For starters its has an interface that makes sense, unlike Endnote's which is a random pile of features accrued over the years. Capturing sources takes just one click within your browser. The only exception from your list is that the journals don't provide citation style files (you refer to them as Endnote files) for zotero. However this doesn't matter. You can find pretty much any style you want at http://www.zotero.org/styles. I think they have the formatting files for several thousand journals and the list keeps growing. One very useful feature of Zotero is the ability to have multiple groups with which you can share different libraries online. It comes handy both for collaborative writing and for teaching. I switched from endnote couple of years ago, when Zotero wasn't nearly as mature as it is now and i haven't looked back.

Where are my mod points when I need them. Please mod the parent up!

No he did not. What he said was: “Our review of the statute’s plain language leads us to conclude that the primary evil sought to be avoided is the distraction the driver faces when using his or her hands to operate the phone,” and “because it is undisputed that the appellant used his wireless telephone while holding it in his hand as he drove his vehicle,”. So the person who got convicted was not merely using the phone as navigation aid, as the article would like you to believe. Instead he was holding in his hand, while driving. As the Judge rightfully points out this is prohibited by California law:

" The statute prohibits driving “while using a wireless telephone,”except when the phone is “specifically designed and configured to allow hands-free listening and talking, and is used in that manner while driving.” ( 23123, subd. (a), emphasis added). The term “using” is nowhere defined in the statute, but if the Legislature had intended to limit the application of the statute to “conversing” or“listening and talking,” as appellant maintains, it could have done so.".

So if you have your phone on a mount and use it as navigation aid, without operating it (as you should also do with regular GPS devices), it is perfectly fine according to California law and the current judgment has no bearing on such cases.
