I should add that in Ireland there are still people who can't navigate roundabouts/traffic circles/rotaries, but I think due to the less dense population it's a bit less of a problem (except for some motorways around Dublin).

I agree, I drive both in the US and Ireland, and in Ireland once you know the rules of navigating a roundabout it's usually trivial to navigate all roundabouts. Just look at the 3 pics on this page: http://www.drivingschoolireland.com/roun

Maybe ISP's in Egypt did, but they probably didn't have a choice in the matter! It's hard to argue with an armed police or a soldier or a regime who'll do anything to stay in power. Also, when the government has a free hand to create legisl

All of your points are valid. But, for an individual who want to increase their perceived worth, and make more money, (even it's with a boring mature company) an MBA from a good school can't hurt, and is bound to teach some useful managemen

U know it just seems like security in the US is run by a crowd of amateurs and they haven't looked at what works and doesn't work in other countries that have faced similar terrorist threats. Vague alerts and warnings that almost seem desig

There's also Back Bay, parts of the Fens, and Downtown. Downtown is where all the subway lines meet. Back Bay & the Fens have a bit more nature around them, and easy access to the slow Green Line.

As someone who was bullied and ignored it, all I can say is it didn't really help. I did eventually stand up for myself against one bollox who used to be friendly to me at school and voila, all of the bullies stopped. This is after being bu

I just wonder that if they're not savvy enough to use a RCS what other types of battles will you have to fight in the future? If I was in your shoes, I'd start looking for another job with a company with a bit more technical sophistication.

Your absolutely right that they shouldn't have treated the kid that way. But, to ignore the possibility that terrorist group will follow tactics of other organisations isn't very sensible. But, to exclude any section of the population from

Your damn right there smallblacksun. The IRA started a "proxy bombing" campaign in the early 1990's (the 1st modern terrorist group to do so). If they can do something like that, you can bet yer arse that the people who send suicide bombers

What about the poor staving traveler stuck behind security? If you have an hour or more layover it's nice to have a decent meal if your hungry. If you have to leave the departure area and then go through security again, a meal may not be po

Ok, how about this for poor food choices. US bound flights from Dublin Airport pre-clear US immigration in their own mini-departure lounge which has one wee cafe. Last time I was there I went to grab some sandwiches to eat on the plane. The
