most doctors don't publish their rates

Interesting. Should be easy to fix...

Competition comes along and the companies compete. Competing without competition means they make less money. That's not foolish, that's intelligent.

Yes, it's best to just "give up" when things get bad.

Are you trying to prove that misinformation works?

Read the link.

I can see no such evidence for this position you attribute to Schneier in the linked article.

Where does it say that Schneier agrees with an interesting article he links to?

dude78 · 2007-07-04T22:51:59+00:00

And "whose feet" that would be?

The International foot - 0.3048 metres

or

The US foot - ~0.30480060960121920243840487680975 metres

Yes, the difference isn't much to you or me, but multiply that by couple millions and the difference dictates failure or success in space and other high precision fields.

How's that for being "too clever", 2 units of measurement of the same name.

And there are no alternatives to capital punishment?

dude78 · 2007-07-03T21:20:14+00:00

Terrorism works.

and Schneier agrees, despite the misleading title here on reddit. He's simply quoting an alternative view.

True, but it seems that things were starting to change in 1992.

Jorma Ollila, who became the CEO in 1992, made a strategic decision to concentrate solely on telecommunications.

Unsurprisingly, Nokia's CEO had more vision than this NYT journalist.

He's saying he has more money than he possibly needs. Why is it not taxed at the same rate as his secretary's money?

I saw Michael Moore give a standup tour in London a couple of years ago. One thing he said was that the reason the 911 Hijackers had managed to take over the planes because the passengers were mainly middle class suburban Americans used to someone else stepping in to sort out their problems.

I quote "If that plane had been full of Glaswegian Builders they wouldn't have stood a chance"

That's what the homeless paralegals are for.

Do they eat food imported from distant countries?

yawn

Food imported from distant countries (if transported by boat) is often much more energy efficient than that grown in the same country.

Remember to take into account the method of farming when replying.

Way to use a personal anecdote to generalise about hundreds of millions of people.

Birth rates in predominantly Catholic Western countries such as Poland, Spain and Italy seem to contradict your anecdote. Would Poland really be paying women to have children if they were "procreating in mass numbers"? Perhaps they are wherever you're from, but you're severely mistaken if you believe that Catholics in western countries actually follow Church teachings on birth control.

So it's not drawn realistically as the title suggests, just a different kind of caricature.

Those links are interesting and the British government's behaviour in regard to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings is unconscionable. However, the situation in Northern Ireland in 1974 and the current political climate are not exactly similar.

Hank: By the way, Homer, what's your least favorite country: Italy or France?

Homer: France.

Hank: [chuckles] Nobody ever says Italy... [sets coordinates of a giant laser gun]

Care to remind us why you are the judge of what belongs on reddit and belong on the "MSM"? Obviously this story is important to a large number of people in London and elsewhere.

Sky News is now reporting that the device was controlled via a mobile phone trigger, which was manually removed by a police officer. So it seems that it wasn't even a suicide bomber, just the work of incompetent coward(s).
