controlled as in to own one you need a license. these can be aquired if you do not have a criminal record and are a member of a gun club where you can learn to shoot them properly. The only other restriction is that the police know where you live and that you have a gun. This is a simmilar policy to that enacted by many US states. In addition to this we dont have daft rules which class a gun case as concealment.

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Only exceptions to this in government is the Official secrets act. which means the information comes out in 50 years. this is better than the US where 90% of it never comes out at all. The Act

uk actually fits better as that is what the country is known as. the United Kingdom or Great Britain and Ireland to give it its full title. Northern Ireland and the channel islands are included in the UK while GB excludes them. Ireland has its own separate TLD now but this only applies to southern Ireland.

The other issue with this is with larger industries 25% is still too big to fall.

dont be daft its 2003.

the problem is most of the world still owes money to the US. So are affected when the USA changes the interest rates on their loans. On another note is it a conincidentce that all this comes to light the year the UK finally pays off its debt from ww2 to the US.

ah the Microsoft approach to bugs.

Just so you know. The middle east is a region of the world which includes many Arab states such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. IF you want a capital for a world region whats the capital of the american continent Brazil? Argentina? Canada? (still waiting for the sarcasm tag btw)

The important part of all your replies is TIME. 10 or 15years ago the number of people working in IT and the proportion of them with a CS degree was significantly less. Also take into account the amount of people who are encouraged to transfer to IT. The number of university graduates in CS increases every year. In the current market getting a job without a degree is almost impossible. Unless you have experience. Getting experience requires either contacts or a DEGREE. You can only show what you know once you get to an interview. With the shear amount of people who think there good at IT out there every job vacancy has hundreds of applicants. Certificates show you know about the systems involved while a degree shows you know the theory. This is in principle the only way to be sure is to interview. So while you can get a job without a degree its better to go for it. As if you don't you will be competing with people with 10 or 15 years experience on you which you will never catch up on.

actually hes right. in any reaction energy is lost. If this matter to antimatter is a endothermic reaction then you need to take into account the energy being entered. This will be less than the resulting energy but as the matter being used in the final event is created elsewhere with its own energy then the rules do not apply as we are not using a closed system or analysing all the data. by the rules of thermodynamics there is always energy loss but with antimatter half the energy and mass of the bomb is the target itself.

NEVER AGAIN now where have i heard that before. WW1 WW2 every war since. I take it your not a student of history. After world war 1 over 90 years ago now. every country was adamant that war on that scale w2ould never happen again. After world war 2 and the atrocities commited by the NAZI regime in the holocaust every country was adamant that a genocide would never happen again. Ok now since ww1 there ahs been other wars where trench fighting and guns are still used and the death toll is similar. after ww2 there has been other genocides. So BS america or another big headed arogant nation will use nukes again on an offensive scale. MAD will follow the like of the league of nations, nato and the un will be as powerless as iraq has shown them to be. ANd yes they are as otherwise how can you explain how a group of hundreds of nations with large navies cannot even stop the pricay happening to trade ships around somalia. (a country on the eastern coast of africa(a continent south of europpe))

anti matter reacts with matter. inorder to store antimatter it needs to be seperated from its matter counterpart. This takes energy. Because at the molecular level antimatter is quite unstable (the reason we dont alot of it) we cannot be 100% certain that there is no matter inside the container. or that a subatomic particle of matter will not enter it. at the moment there are no KNOWN antimatter bombs. but to put this into perspective in 1940s there were no KNOWN nuclear bombs until after nagasaki and hiroshima. by known i mean outside of the military and associated trades. (official secrets act?)

Yes but if you do the job right then you are more likely to get other jobs from them later or recommended

yes in your town it might be an issue YET. but landfill has side effects and should be avoided. Recycling should be used where appropriate but incinerating/processing to energy. removes waste and reduces the demand on fossil fuels.
