You have to follow the law, but how you do so is up to you. Implementing the standard is just one way of doing that. That sounds like doublespeak to me. What other way is there to follow the law besides implementing the standard refere

In Germany we have implemented this directive Sounds like you are agreeing with Malamud. Regardless of whether or not various certification authorities trust the word of the companies that implement products to match the directive, the d

The body that creates the standards is typically a creation of the industry that implements the standards. It is a cost of doing business. Compare them to RFCs which are quite similar in that they are generally created by authors who work

And no, it is not incorporated into law, either. Despite what some people usually claim. So you are disputing the part of the article that says: "Every country in the EU is required to implement and publish these standards." I

Seems that the fracfocus list is incomplete. Looking at Haliburton's own listen of chemicals in their CleanStim fluid, I see maltodextrin listed but it isn't listed on fracfocus. I'm not enough of a chemical engineer to say

You know "manor" is an apropos typo, signifying LG being haughty, privileged and out-of-touch living in this really expensive house they built with the money from paying customers that they are treating like cyber-peasants. I wish

Can anyone recommend a consumer grade router that has a good GUI for tracking outgoing connections in real-time and setting up rules to control them? I am imagining some kind of add-on to DD-WRT or derivatives that will put up a real-time g

most people don't like the loud open area workspace and sit in these small offices so they can have phone calls and concentrate. FWIW, good acoustical engineering can make a significant difference in how loud an open-space "feel

There may be a tax-savings angle to that. Some states, like Nevada and Massachusetts, charge vehicle property tax based on the year of the car and buying a car "one year ahead" can result in a reduced rate for that year compared

I live in rural New York and I see quite a few anti-fracking bumper stickers on cars. I feel like that essentially says, "oil is okay, as long as the consequences affect other people". I think that is a disingenuous characteriza

The only thing I accept is reality. No, you declare your belief as reality and then hide behind that unsupported declaration. Nice that you use Jihad Jane as an example without knowing the facts. Jihad Jane was not an old solitaire playi

As for muslims extremists and al qaida folks, it's easy to profile them, they are all muslims. Which is completely useless since 99.99% of muslims aren't "al qaida folks."

The only effective way to capture terrorists is to do profiling, however thats is considered to be politically incorrect, Whenever someone complains about profiling being politically incorrect, that's a euphemism for racial profiling
