Provably false. Here is the exact second that freeze-frame above is taken in the collateral murder video http://youtu.be/5rXPrfnU3G0?t=3m18s Compare with the picture that the US military claims is of an armed person http://mypetjawa.mu.n

"protective custody". Right. Like if he were let out onto the streets on bail he would flee, or go on a murdering rampage. You are blaming the victim. The military is entirely responsible for the conditions he is held under in custody. Th

I was wondering what your reasoning behind this was. Do you have any past examples to support this assertion? Or do you base this position on some prior principles?

Hey, It's a week later, I think I will give the KJV bible a try again sometime. Have you gotten onto The Varieties of Religious Experience yet? Do you think I was warranted to recommend it to the audience I did?

Sure, I will give it a go! I had the Good News bible around when I was a child and haven't revisited it for a few years.

I've never visited San Franscisco & seen this 'start-up world' you speak of, but the widespread use of Macs surprises me a bit. In all my IRL interactions with developers, it's always free software variants of *nix with a minority of Ma

I've read some of those books cover to cover (Art of War, the Prince) & other's I've glazed over because they were, well, boring & laborious & I don't believe anybody should be recommending them as things to read for enjoyment (

I think msvan may have been referring to books too. For instance: Origin of the Species spends a great deal of time presenting evidence for why evolution should be believed. At the time this was of course necessary to convince all of the

Do you mean Ritalin (Methylphenidate) or Dextroamphetamine? (Both prescribed for ADHD). Either way, that statement is not strictly correct. Dextroamphetamine does get metabolised into Methamphetamine, but it isn't Methamphetamine when it is

One might think, as I did initially, this is just an API mash-up, or some natural language processing, but the developers geocoded many of these images manually. It's not clear a digital solution exists. This is an important contribution to

The diplomatic fallout in the event of a raid would be huge. There was a meeting of all foreign ministers of South America who issued a joint statement to condemn the UK for threatening to raid the embassy.

If you're interested, Tor is looking at a Cipher suite upgrade. There are obviously compatibility issues when you are rolling out to a network that has 500,000+ daily users. If you look around the Tor proposals you should be able to find it

Yes, that's to fetch mail from a server. TorBirdy for instance is a plug in for Thunderbird. But! If you want to send a message alice@domain.com to bob@otherdomain.com that is not anonymous, unless you take other measures.

Tor doesn't anonomise email :-/ If you want that, look for mixminion or mixmaster. Tor is a low latency mixnet for TCP streams (aka web browsing).

"Security" here is used in a weird way. Security is a design feature, not a policy.

Sure, but that is a newer feature, and Roger Dingledine has been giving these talks to law enforcement for some years (the earliest I am aware of is 2008).

Good point. I simply avoided regex for HTML for this reason and it wasn't justified (although a good choice).

Agree... basically search methods that specify a branch or leaf locally rather than the entire tree structure can more often resist layout changes. Regex for HTML is a bad idea ... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/590747/using-regular-ex
