In general getting permission from ATC for flights over London is non-trivial (primarily because it is sufficiently densely populated that any emergency, especially at low altitude, is likely going to end badly).

But — vitally — means the partner did not consent to the sex that was had. It disgusts me how many people are arguing that non-consensual sex isn't rape if they were willing to do it under different circumstances.

No — but how often are such promises made? Hypothetically, if there came up an allegation that he had murdered someone in, say, Spain, and it was obvious he was guilty, would it be just that he could not be taken to Spain to be tried as a r

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union applies to every man, woman, and child within the European Union. They apply both if you are a convicted criminal or have had a criminal offence committed against you.

In England and Wales it is perfectly possible to say, "I consent to having sex to you if you use a condom". As such, if a condom has not been used, consent has not been given, and sex without consent is rape. One of the three charges is tha

They'd have to get across the pavement from the embassy into the bus. The British have every right to arrest him there (either for violating the conditions of bail or on grounds there is an outstanding European warrant for him).

Facebook has offices in a number of EU countries, including (but not limited to) offices in London (UK), Hamburg (Germany), Brussels (Belgium), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Paris (France), Madrid (Spain), and Stockholm (Sweden).

Emscripten in no way emulates LLVM (as far as I know it's the only C-to-JS compiler that uses LLVM, and hence must be what you're referring to!) — it compiles LLVM to JS, with no emulation, and there's currently work going on to re-implemen

On the other hand, SPDY never tried to address those issues: the aim was to create a more efficient over-the-wire transport layer for HTTP/1.1 semantics.

Heck — we're already having enough pain as Typed Arrays expose system endianness to the web platform. Most scripts using Typed Arrays are already broken on big endian systems, and it's practically inevitable that Typed Arrays are going to h

Except, of course, LLVM bitcode isn't meant to be distributed: it's designed as a compiler IR, and merely an intermediary form. It's also not portable: the existence of types like x86_fp80 and ppc_fp128 make this quite clear.

Not quite actually refuting what you said: HTML was certainly based on SGML (the similarity is obvious!), but it never was an SGML application. It only became an SGML application in the spec a couple of years later at the impetuous of DanC

See http://speed.pypy.org/ for the benchmarks I was referring to: that's the general collection of benchmarks used for PyPy (several, such as the html5lib one, imported from unladen-swallow), though obviously in specific cases comparisons

No: with PHP you can upload a bunch of files over FTP and you're done. With Python you pretty much always need to ssh into the server after pushing the files to the server. For someone who knows nothing, this makes PHP much easier.

They were far from all contrived: many were taken from bottlenecks in real Python applications. Off-hand, at least the django, genshi, and html5lib benchmarks are very much real code, and none of the three benchmarks are optimized for PyPy

Apple's fine with such things… provided you don't let arbitrary code run in your system. If all your VM/runtime runs is what is in the application, it's fine.

Reinterpreting content? Nope. Opera (and only Opera) does anything with them — they're available through `XMLHttpRequest`.

If you really think we (i.e., Opera) have that much interest in closed ecosystems, you're wrong. Yes, Mini uses a closed protocol, but ultimately it's just another web browser . What data format we use to transfer the mostly-rendered pag
