Range's ousting functions to calm the grumbling masses who want to see "justice served" for the attack on freedom of press but fail to realize the big picture which happens to be much more ugly.
Frankyl I still don't see what you are alluding to. A conspiracy that failed and therefore is hiding a BIGGER consipracy?
But that's the whole point of separation of powers: no one branch of government can go it alone, and if one does get out of line it's the responsibility of one of the others to stop it
But ... isn't the prosecutor is part of the executive branch (that's what he is: the attack dog of the executive). So if the minister reins him in isn't this entirely appropriate? Otherwise how could the justice minister fire the dude?
It sounds to me that this "separation of power" talk is so much waahambulance stupidity.
"Stop this bullshit and go home"
"No I won't"
"FIRED!"

The underbelly of the ISIS-finance hub? I would really like to see these...
Stop smoking crack or you will see FEMA trailers rolling to all-american GAS CHAMBERS in no time. I grant you that there is dangerous talk of randomly starting a war with Iran or concentrating mooslims in merica into camps.
Also learn what a Quantum Computer actually is. Start with "Quantum Computing Since Democritus".
You will rue the day that your employer lost business because some "user" was prevented from doing her job by your deliberate action. The computers are there for the business, not your personal gratification.
Confused mind.
Or a babyfaced MS grassrooter who has never had to solve problems created by "productivity tools".
Knock! Knock!
Who's there?
THE BROWSER WARS OF 1999! FEAR!!!
Seriously, is this still a thing? It's 2015!
If you wanted to have Firefox in the first place, you have enough sophistication and Google-fu to switch back to it, should you want to.
This "the user is too brain-crippled to be able to choose (but we want him to have CHOICE anyway!)" is just so fecking retarded.
Let them have their smalltime ways, point and laugh at them but stop writing emotional "open letters"..
1) Is it a robot? It rather looks like a device able to move 4 pieces of preformed wire ... in the same class as a stapler, which is not a robot.
2) Why do today's videos always have that infuriating Hollywood-slice-of-life-comedy-style background music? One always expects being forced to watch a fat guy falling downstairs or a baby in a "cute" situation in the next second.

This. And El Reg has gone down the way of crap design too (back in February, was it?)
Then again, one has to provide jobs to the army of people who think "web design and uglyfication" is actually a real job that is supposed to be remunerated.
they hold up fine
Keep deluding yourself. The Krugmanian death pill has been administered: Japan’s Keynesian Demise: A Cautionary Tale For Our Times
As for Friedman being the opposite of "Lord" Keynes: FUCK NO. Monetarism, Keynesianism - it's all the same to me.
What's killing them for the future even more than the debt is negative growth in population - This is like saying "What's killing me more than the daily crack dose is my permanent lack of money". Err... yes??
1) Do you really think Obama writes a up a shopping list? He is handed a letter to sign by some gremium of sages.
2) He doesn't even mention 3D TLC flash: announcement
3) That the stuff around the tech has to be designed appropriately should be obvious to the meanest intelligence
In the end this is just another "industrial policy" effort like the 80's "Strategic Computing Initiative" (this one is even called "National Strategic Computing Initiative" again) which started as response to Japan's Fifth-Generation Computer project but veered off into supercomputing and weapons technology within 2 years. More here: Strategic Computing Initiative and Book Reference. It is very unclear whether this is going to help one way or the other or from where the money is going to come from given the parlous, if not cancerous, state of finances with the next recession looming. There will be bailouts to push...
How is that going to help?
Plus it is not about "figuring out part of". It's about the existence of smooth solutions. This has nothing to do with computation or even practical applicability. And you will have to await a mathematical mind, prize money or not. Maybe Terry Tao will have a lucky break in solving a it?
It is also why toilet water rotates in a different direction for Aussies (counterclockwise) versus Yanks (clockwise)
You can also be certain that planetary coriolis forces are not going to affect your bullet outside a zero.centered error bar. This is not a fucking neutron star!
The malware beacons to custom Twitter handles, where it scans for specific links and hashtags, then goes to Github where it obtains an image that APT29 applies steganography to, to decrypt commands, and finally executes commands on the victim machine before uploading to popular cloud storage services.
This makes as much sense as anything from "Ghost In The Shell: Man-Machine Interface". Can I have this explained, please?
but he should never have been put in the situation where human error was possible
I can't even fathom the confused state of mind that extrudes this kind of statement.
"Likewise the FAA should have been more insistent in its controls - ensuring a sufficient safety culture existed in the company."
Newsflash: The FAA is not in the business of "ensuring sufficient safety culture" (sufficient for what, anyway?)
And you know what would happen ... all the aholes would cry 'too much government regulation .. let the maket pace decided about safety.
Never trust someone who is into Big Government but cannot spell properly.
