The Khomeini regime was always allowed to murder its own citizens, within its borders, with impunity. That's one of the priviledges of a sovereign state.

Pretty much everyone agrees that 12 nautical miles is the edge of territorial waters; whether they're bound by the UNCLOS or not. The UNCLOS Part II Section 2 Article 3 [1] states: > Every State has the right to establish the breadt

Yeah... the problem is if you were to use them for excavating, you have to explode them on, in, or near the ground which will generate lots of fallout from neutron irradiation of the ground materials. Clean H-bombs are only clean if used fo

IMHO, whether (and which) statue of limitations applies is a question of law, whether said time limit has passed is a question of fact. I'd like to read the jury instructions and verdict, but I didn't see a link to them anywhere.

Usenet is probably better, but to a rough approximation, nobody has access to a usenet feed anymore. Mailing lists allow people to use threads if they want (assuming nobody thrashes the threads headers by using terrible email software from

I have the PSAP for the county 911 dispatcher, because it was publicized when CenturyLink had broken 911. Which I guess I could use to save $1.50/month. But i still have to ask the 911 dispatcher to transfer me to the PD.

It doesn't seem that strange? You can drastically change the amount of fallout with materials and design decisions, so it's worth considering. For example, tsar bomba was tested with a lead tamper instead of uranium; this reduced

I did my NPV calculation with probably the wrong interest rate, but I'm also looking at the 10 year NPV of 80% of our kWh charges as my guide (including the published rate increases). If it maths with that, great. If not, but it's

My voip line has a charge for (e)911. I can pay $1.50 per month or $75 per call. Since my local police department has no direct dial number, non-emergency calls are routed through 911; that's pretty unusual, but I don't want to pa

Shutdown only helps if it's used; but TFA didn't mention it. So they're going to have to relearn the lessons of the 90s? Also, I think state of the art hasn't really changed? If you don't want a reset, you need to r
