Read up on your history. Before WWII, they WERE turned away at the border. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_St._Louis My mother was rescued as an orphan by Catholic missionaries. Turns out that Catholic girls look ju

Uh huh. I love the British people. Really. Lived half a year in London and worked down in Mayfair back in the 90's. But I'll admit that I found the fact that the UK has no Constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech a shoc

Nazi Germany. My mother was born during the Third Reich. Just lucky I guess. BTW, my bartender is Croatian. Ask him how he feels about Europe. IN fact, ask anyone who's had a chance to see what the USA is really like and compare it

Just an FYI if you can stand to look past your own prejudice and ill-informed speculation: 1. I've lived (and worked) overseas in both Europe and the Middle East. 2. I've visited and spent great deals of time in South America, Cen

Please level up on your reading comprehension and see if you care to reframe your criticism. And Lloyd Blankfein grew up in a housing project in Brooklyn. In fact, the same housing project that Jay-Z did. It turns out that where hard work

I think you're deliberately misunderstanding me. And that's fine. I'm definitely detecting a bunch of do-as-I-say type of sentiment. But my mother fled a country (her European home country and the country of her birth) th

I don't think it's fair to paint all of this as somehow originating with the US. This country doesn't exist in a vacuum and it is shaped by the political and economic forces that surround it. I think people forget that th

What I'm not getting from this is why it's any different from a properly implemented TCAM. Key/value lookups are something that's done by existing networking hardware very well. There are existing merchant-silicon chips

This is kinda a non-negotiable for them, isn't it? It's not like they suddenly decided to enforce the USG policy and make a big deal about it. IANAL, but it seems prudent to acknowledge that the crypto work was done in the USA an

I'm going to clarify my question here: Why are Syrian PROGRAMMERS the focus? It would be just as easy to divide up the population into any other constituent subgroup and select only those for help. Any of these would also be a valid

Why are Syrian programmers the only ones worthy of help here?

So, we replace unsubstantiated claims with "opposing" unsubstantiated claims? We know so little about proper nutrition, especially in the context of obesity and fitness that anyone who tells you they have the "answer" is

You're making a gross assumption if you think the FDA is worried about things like this. Fish mislabeling has been reported as far back as 2005 and nothing has changed. The FDA is overworked and underfunded. They have their hands ful

I have eaten it, had trouble, and didn't put two and two together until I read an article explaining the phenomenon of fish mislabeling. SO...maybe go do an experiment: Go eat a nice big portion of escolar (nee "white tuna")

If you ate escolar, you'd really want to know it before you put that fish in your mouth. Escolar contains a minute amount of a toxin that will irritate your gastro system. You'll be in the bathroom for hours if you eat enough of

You not counting the trillions spent on military intervention in the oil-rich Middle East as a subsidy? Germany just decided to decommission all of its nuclear power generation. That power is going to come from somewhere.

LOL. SERIOUSLY? I just met a guy who lost his legs to an IED that he KNEW was on the route he was ordered to take because they needed to get from A to B in the quickest possible time. He volunteered to go himself (he was the Captain of the

If the cars are charged at night, it's not a big deal. TOU metering should provide some evidence of that.

Maine isn't representative of the amount of potential solar energy available in other parts of the USA.

This should get you started: Assume nothing. Never go against your gut. Everyone is potentially under opposition control. Don't look back; you are never completely alone. Go with the flow, blend in. Vary your pattern and stay within yo

Dude. This is serious stuff. Try and understand that for the better part of Western History, getting caught with anything that might be considered a tool of espionage or meeting with the wrong person might be a death sentence. Hence, trad

Uh, if you KNOW you're on their radar, you can't trust the mail. And you're mailing a letter which involves a whole lot of people carrying it and handling it. You've got a whole alphabet of persons. Remember that this

Would you insert a USB drive into your "secure" non-Internet connected machine if it came via the mail? I wouldn't. Part of the security is trusting the chain-of-possession. Once you no longer have that, you have lost the t

I think it would be foolish to underestimate how closely the interests of the Five Eyes ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement ) track together. They were all hurt by the Guardian articles. FWIW, this sort of be

Actually, it does explain it. Lots of people are admitted that don't need to be and nobody ever questions it. And since we have such a high proportion of non-insured here, those admissions raise the cost for everyone else who DOES hav

The #1 reason healthcare costs more is because of over-treatment. When providers are paid by the procedure, suddenly everyone needs a procedure (or ten). Combine that with third-party responsibility (insurance pays doctor, employer pays f

There is another thing to consider: Adding security to a system imposes costs on the use, maintenance, and support of those systems. Can you imagine the scale issues associated with maintaining PKI over the millions of devices deployed? H
