I think you're suggesting a false dichotomy here: do nothing or sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people in pursuit of your aims. Consider what the Israeli response might have looked like if they didn't have acc

Actually having the derived data in the database would be helpful for simplifying something like a website search implementation. I know I could have used it last month!

I've seen someone asked to return to their original seat. The reason given was something along the lines of "identification in the event of an accident".

It was probably good value for anyone that owned any surrounding property. Ideally the increase in property value should be captured by the public who made the investment - self funding effectively. But that's just the old LVT argument

Some combination of both would be best in my opinion. Weight due to wear on roads and size due to the safety implications (some personal vehicles are now almost 2m tall and impossible to see over for pedestrians and cyclists - creating a mu

I've recently thought that a return to site directories might be overdue. Possibly something based on the dewey system. If I'm interested in making shoes, I want to see a list of relevant sites (or videos, etc) that have been vouc

Not a popular opinion, but in my mind every driver should at all times be prepared for a child to chase a ball onto a street. What that means in practice is a whole lot of inconvenience for drivers - but it is their responsibility and they

I wonder if this might be more useful if it were to use the 'chopsticks' to pull the boxes onto a centrally mounted tray that slides back so that the boxes can then be pushed off the other side - thereby keeping boxes upright.

Similar story with their coverage of Clinton/Sanders during the US primaries. Also the coverage of Corbyn (effectively leading the charge with some very tenuous but oft-repeated accusations of antisemitism). The bias shown on these two
