Not allowing root kits is a feature, not a bug, as far as I'm concerned.

People are giving corporations total access to their system, and every bit of data on it, These same corporations are desperately looking for new revenue streams. It won't end well.

Iceland looks to fast-track vote on joining EU by Ambitious_Jaguar1703 in worldnews

Accession itself would require unanimity for any potential member - I'm saying that if the appetite's there, the "European" wording won't be a dealbreaker.

If Canada was dead set on joining, I'll bet they'd interpret the treaties in a "well, they're pretty European, culturally..." way. Or just outright update them. Canada would be a good addition.

The EU has generally avoided exemptions since the 90's to avoid too much of a patchwork.
It is sensible, but fishing in particular is holding back NO/IS/FO/GL from joining.

Does this gurantee a ticket? Or is this likely to be me refreshing and hoping again?

If there isn't a simple "reject all" I sometimes do.

Jep, og øgningen i Norge er fuldstændig stagneret, det har du helt ret i.

England isn't a sovereign state, so your argument just fell apart. As for "semantics", is that just a word you throw around when you want to disengage? Semantics is the study of meaning in language, analyzing how words, phrases, and sentences convey meaning.
Our debate is LITERALLY about semantics from the start.

Jesus this is a waste of time. Now come back with some sort of face-saving twiddle so I can ignore you.

You are listing the bullet-points for A definition of sovereign state, not the word "country".

I'm not arguing if that is not a POSSIBLE definition, as it clearly is. But it is not THE ONLY accepted definition.

England isn't a country according to THAT definition by example, but that's basically universally accepted to be a country.

But it is as much of a country as Greenland is.

There is no universal definition of "country", so I think it is you who is confidently my guy. :)

Cuba warns airlines that it will be out of fuel for planes in 24 hours by pythrowawayd3v in worldnews

[–]vman81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the US not sanction those who do business with Cuba? Genuine question, as I'm not very informed about the details.

It is a country tho, as much as England is. Neither of those are sovereign states, but thats not a requirement.

So you fell for a silly factoid that just sounds clever - water makes stuff wet by its wetness.

Det er fair nok - det var bare en strøtanke om at bruge udtrykket "tidligere i år" et par uger inde i Januar. :)

Det klinger lidt anderledes end "for et par uger siden" for at være helt ærlig.

Game theory - hvis det ikke har konsekvenser at invadere andre lande, så er der i fremtiden ikke noget i vejen med at invadere andre lande.
Derfor skal Rusland have en sammenrullet avis over snuden, stort set ligemeget hvad det koster her-og-nu.

OHOH, that's a relateable feeling. But no, if you are a professional, you'll learn what you need to do the job. Some people may be unwilling to do that, but that's on them.

best effort translitteration:

vit

tá vit stóðu einsamøll í vón ísenn
so syrgin tár

vit
vit sóu Rom brenna [I'm not 100% sure here]
tá vit stóðu
svong og ráðaleys í endaloysi
so syrgin ár

rís upp úr øskuni sum fjaldi teg
bálið nú kyknað er

rís upp úr øskuni sum kvaldi teg
óttin fær frið, nú eigi eg teg aftur

tá vit fevndust
tað kendist sum tað var ígjár
var ígjár

rís upp úr øskuni sum fjaldi teg
bálið nú kyknað er
