Re: Cover under

You forget the seriously brain damaged regime under which the cack all got started. A bunch of crooks and liars got together to have a mental retard son of an ex president made commander in chief of everything unholy because a bunch of retards would vote for it.

And they did.

Everybody sensible refrained from voting.

Reboot note number 7.

I can't imagine why Flemming chose it originally but for the plots the character was in, it was an handy weapon. It just turned out that in a book, you don't put such a charcter up against the laws of chance and AK 47s.

One thing about small calibre weapons is that they are easy to get used to packing. It is much too tempting to leave your .50 in the drawer half the time. And when you next see a modern hero reloading one of them, take a look at the scene just before he unloaded it to see where he might be wearing half a dozen clips of spare ammo at a pound a time.

BTW; does a Walther PPK only work on ladies or can you kill men with them too?

Re: Does anyone actually understand where food comes from anymore?

I don't know why you got a down vote.

I am just curious how you are going to use the well if your pigs ever eat you.

And I find it hard to imagine anyone getting into the pen with a herd of 700 pound flesh eaters at dinnertime. There is always one and he would have known that. Sounds more like he had an attack of something (heart or dizzy spell) and fell in.

How the hell they are going to do an autopsy?

Seriously. He'd be semidigested by the time he was almost found and by anyone got around to doing anything to the pigs would have been well on his way to methane and carbon dioxide.

Just going in with them to pick up the remains would have been an ordeal anyone would put off for a long while.

Portugal’s prosecutor punts P2P case

I. Aproveofitspendingonspecificprojects

I know your comment was tongue in cheek but...

There is no valid social reason to have laws against copying. The Sellas of Egypt -even the stylus of writing seems to have been designed for public copying.

Social mores on drug use might have had a reason in Victorian Britain in the days when Healtrh and Safety laws were not as draconian as they are now. And even today the idea of uncontrolled hard drug use when a victim of them might for example be driving a car, warrants policing.

But the idea of having laws is to givethe people of various cultures an overall basis for living in peace with their neighbours. The biblical stories of shepherds fighting over wells and such was the main cause of family feuds and skirmishes between tribes and still is in desert areas.

Laws are supposed to be about sharing, not not sharing. If a man or a group of players achieved what is today called stardon the payment came from a royal pension or from the benevolence of rich benefactors. We still have those sorts of ideas in the form of subsidised arts and charitable trusts set up by rich people avoiding taxes.

And we still have artists starving even with all the rich companies involved in spinning discs. I don't know any musicians in the pubs locally who are getting any help from the big record companies. In fact I imagine some of the poor artists are having to pay the rich companies. And what for?

So a few dozen drinkers can hear and perhaps go out and buy the records?

There is every case to be made for music indutry giants being made to pay performers advertising their wares for them.

Re: Pot, meet Kettle

> The trade body’s head, Nuno Pereira, believes DIAP’s decision means it simply couldn’t be bothered pursuing so many actions:

> “I think the prosecutors just found a way to adapt the law to their interest – and their interest is not having to send 2,000 letters, hear 2,000 people and investigate 2,000 computers”.

It does seem like the predicament that would ultimately be met by tax payers is not only the equivalent to payment by stealth if they had decided on the other course of action; it would have amounted to the equivalent of a DDoS attack on the various criminal justice departments wherever the opposite ruling takes effect.

I can see Britain following suit. Consider what Australia would do.

It's a good job nobody lives there. Imagine the queues for justice if their population density was on a par with the density of their political master's. In fact it would take a nation as rich and stupid as the USA to enforce such a thing.

The housewives' choice (in the days we had houswives) would have been music while they worked.

Better then the single choice of noise coming out of the kitchen if and when the little woman does any work in such a place these days. I'm surprised nobody has thought of doing something like that before. Today, the average cook of either sex has abilities that struggle to reach average, a video/cooker might improve things.

At the very least they might incorporate a cookbook.

Hell it might even make going to the laundrette interesting in a sad life style way.

That sort of thing was originally designed to clean trenches in WW1. A war were poison gas was legal.

Since then, their accuracy has been marginally improved. I wouldn't know by how much but in WW2 they were used for house to house fighting. Nobody was going to worry about women and children in that sort of scenario were they?

And not at 700 rpm these day too, neither!

Don't panic: Arctic methane emissions have been going on for ages

I. Aproveofitspendingonspecificprojects

Every new discovery is a victim to Uestani type xenophobia.

Since Ice melt is considered 100% insolation and methane is lighter than air; methane relesed to the atmosphere over the north or south pole probably contributes to cooling processes.

Hint:

blankets = insulation.

It would certainly explain the ice caps when you realise that all stroms created at the tropics eventually find there way to the north or South pole where they tend to dissappear as Lows and get reincarnated as Highs.

Re: Data in context

I spent the last few days trying to understand the Arctic situation by looking up EarthObservatory and Wikipedia stuff. It's full of the shit you complain of.

And it turns out thatr periodic disasters are required to keep the environment balanced. Fire gets rid of podsoil in the Taiga fore example allowing birdlif to control spruce killing insects. And the periodic floods wash the ash and topsoil to the Arctic wher it fertilises the richest mairine environmnet on earth.

Even the way the ice behaves is badly presented.

3 years (first row of retirees) to get the data handed over.

2 years to find out some are missing.

1 year to second branch of retirements and find missing links.

6 weeks to get some of them out of the gaol.

2 years to plod along finding (and losing and getting more hacked) yet more unhanded over data.

6 years before the next scandal.

Home Sec to decide Gary McKinnon's fate by 16 October

I. Aproveofitspendingonspecificprojects

Definitely not a very sensible thing to say, but...

The information was certainly made available on British jurisdiction.

That should be the ultimate distinction. Not where the actual data was put into the wild.

No third party should be held to account for the shortcomings of a computer network.

If you don't want information made available don't put it in the disseminator. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Even a chimpanzee can understand that you don't just classify information; you put the stuff you don't want seen under a different carpet. In Cuba say, or Syria.

But why should any court anywhere have to decide what is in a country's jurisdiction?

If it was done here it has to be punishable here. Or at least examined here in the light of a less dictatorial xenaphobic nation.
