> They better be sure that there are no back doors left in, but they probably use Windows too.
Not where it matters, probably. Russian Ministry of Defense has a custom Linux distro too.
And they share back source code?
Who knows? But since it it is for internal use only they don't have to.
... a kevlar face mask wouldn't have holes for the eyes, and as such, you'd obviously have to cover your eyeballs in this paint as well.
No, that's what your pair of Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses are for.
Several of the complaints registered by members of the ISO approval committee (which were ignored by the paid-off chair), involved sections of the specification that caused it to be physically impossible to actually implement.
How bizarre! So what exactly is it that makes it impossible to implement?
He probably meant impossble for anyone not being Microsoft. There is, for example a tag called autoSpaceLikeWord95 standing for Emulate Word 95 Full-Width Character Spacing; and there is more.
Anarchy in this case is not simply chaos,
Anarchy is never about chaos, the circled A used as one symbol for anarchism actually stands for Anarchy is the mother of Order.
Anarchism in it's truest form is closer to socialism than chaos
I don't see how it can be anything close to socialism without and government or laws.
This is, because your view on socialism is somewhat limited to what has been seen in the state socialist countries. You may want to widen your view by reading, e.g. wikipedia.

To me, this sort of win, the power that it gives them to promote and further the gains that they stand for is likely to have a MUCH bigger impact on the actual lives of their constituents than all the Occupy movements put together.
You know, around 1980 the green party formed in Germany. One of their main program points was a dedication to peace. In 1998 the came into power together with the SPD, supposedly a left wing party. The first action of the time of this government was to get into the war with Yugoslavia. Instead of standing by their principle to purse peaceful solutions (especially in light of that most of the reasons given for the war were outright lies comparable to the WDMs to be found in Iraq) the leaders of their party clang to the power they just got and apart from a lot of people leaving the party because of this not much happened.
What one can learn from this kind of electing representatives is that since they get the full power to decide and are not bound by the resolutions of the people/party they represent, one can hardly expect that they do what they promise before the elections. Considering that it needs a certain kind of character to get to the top of the ladder to come into a position of power it would actually be surprising if it would be otherwise. Power corrupts.
Currently, the PP has, what they call fluid democracy and the hierarchy is very shallow, The question is, whether they can keep this structure up, or whether they will become an established party like the Green Party, The latter needed only 20 years to arrive in the "system".
Given these circumstances, one should not underestimate the pressure from the street that comes from the likes of the Occupy Movement. Is is a very important factor, especially between elections when the only power the people have is the direct action on the streets.
Also, were it not for western industrial espionage against China, we wouldn't have [...] porcelain [...].
As far as I know Meissen porcelain was developed without industrial espionage.
Right now I'm trying to figure out which journal to send my manuscript to.
I found this ranking quite helpful. They use something similar to the Google page rank algorithm to measure the overall influence of a journal and unlike Thompson Research, they actually published the algorithm. Also, they base the analysis on the Scopus data base which includes a lot more publications then Thompson Research do in their WoK.
I was talking with a colleague, I mentioned PLoS one. She said that she wouldn't see that as favorably on a CV as she would for a journal that rejects more papers. This is not an old scientist who works for one of the "top tier" journals either and has a vested interest in keeping things how they are, she's a grad student.
It is a very sad state of affairs when even young scientist base their assessment not on what but on where something is published. Well, in the end it always depends on who reads the CV
