Buying social peace. Welcome to socialism.

I had to check. I hold my fifth finger under the camera. At the end it all depends on why you need the camera. I wanted it a bit smaller, because I carry it in my backpack. It's just a question of time before it hits a rock. It does have a nice senzor cleaning feature.



For now I use a 35-83 mm (I think), and with 35 mm landscapes are pretty good, but not perfect. So the usual trick is to capture something or someone in front.



Portrait and macro are my favorite modes.



Very bright pictures still look good, it's everything taken inside a room after sunset that is bad. I think an upgraded flash light is needed for those. Night photos with longer exposures work, but I haven't got anything worth uploading so far.

Canon EOS 400D. I wanted a camera that could do the same thing as the old praktica and with lenses that would be useful in the mountains.

Children usually get infected during birth.

Condoms.


Avoiding sexual transmission trough artificial insemination, 4% of infants born to HCV infected women become infected.

ok, ok, enough jokes about Shenzhen (China) and Schengen (Luxembourg).

I went trough the new inner borders during the holidays (.si-.at-.cz and back). Buildings are still there and will be demolished trough the next few months. Last place in the country to get a cup of coffee was almost empty (I was the only customer).

No one remembered that it could be the other way around?

level 12 of 12 complete

sorry, but you need 60000 points to pass this level

you scored 51012 points on world cities (hardest)



Stupid Palau islands.

Norway and Island are already in Schengen and outside of EU.


It was a big issue here. At least in the last two decades, travelling to neighbouring countries was possible just with ID and time spent at the border was just enough for drivers to understand various gestures by border control to move already. I'll check the border with Austria next week. Crossing the border with Croatia will change, especially for people that own land on both sides of the border.


 

Early christmas present, said EU commissioner Frattini. Switzerland to join during 2008.


In practice, you still must have some form of ID in a foreign country. Schengen borders at the airports will be established in a few months.


? Got a purple passport years ago.

So, will you travel more often?

I (and I stress this because I don't know what you mean by "people like you") don't live in a dream land of where war is considered a clean job. I can understand the killing, the chaos of war, what effect it has on people and what are the long term consequences. Fine.

Waterboarding, torture and/or any serious interrogation are not done in the heat of the battle (and not even by soldiers) so these excuses don't apply. Forensics, surveillance photos, informers and tapping provide much more reliable data, which is why they are used more often than waterboarding. Play rough, tough, and dirty. But not behind the fronts. It's there where the mix between politics and war produces the worst results.

If ITER is successful we can expect the first full-scale power plant coming on-line in 2050 (and construction of ITER is already running late). I don't expect a significant proportion of electricity from fusion in my lifetime (~2060).

The first one is probably the right one. I wonder why this paper (from last year) has been mentioned in several media these days. The 2006 paper mentions 1.6% of genes under recent selection, I would like to see where did the new 7% come from.

Torture and reliable confessions are not correlated. Torture doesn't win wars. Try more bullets.


Torture as revenge. Come to the Balkans and start talking to people. You'll soon see the problem, the good and the bad become psychopaths.
