In December 2002, a North Korean ship was boarded by Spanish special forces in coordination with the US off the Horn of Africa.[1] They believed it was carrying missiles or other arms. It was a shipment of Scud missiles on its way to Yemen,

Would Google be more, or less, scattered if it shut down search and Gmail? Anyway, I thought this was some discussion about how Google may or may not be making a decision that will later in hindsight turn out to been bad for Google, followe

However, the problem is not that elected officials are not listening to the people, it is that there is little concern from the electorate about privacy rights. Ultimately, the country does belong to you more for understanding the problems

I thought this New Yorker cartoon[1] about the all of the iceberg being above the surface was pretty apropos, and I'm not sure the licensors got the point when they gave it the keywords "global warming" and "sea ice&qu

Google may index a lot of the spam as relatively useless since it is often found at top levels. If the number is correct what it is probably missing is all of the content that lies in databases, easily accessible, but not necessarily on the

As an American who lived in Italy in the 90s, it was a notable difference to me that people are legally required to carry papers. US law descends from English Law, and as I understand it, the different legal philosophy from continental Euro

Isn't Machiavelli generally accepted to have proposed a recipe for strategically achieving political aims, while he himself supported republics? Do you mean that Snowden is being strategic in how he attempts to further American ideals

Which only says something about the person drawing the conclusion, not about deconstructing arguments. Torture must be both moral and strategically effective to make sense. Therefore, if either one is not the case, then you shouldn't s

It looks like the center is a separate zone entirely, so that the heat sink could gather dust, but there is little air flow over the actual components themselves. In other words you might be able to pull a Swiffer pad through the center fin

I think it is reasonable to question the levels of sophistication of people on the FISC and officials who have approved the policies. In the past for instance the ACLU has pointed out that about 2/3 of the US population lives within 10
