despite all the propaganda, I really don't see the Iranians ever developing a nuclear weapons programs as it will ultimately work against them. They will never be able to match their arsenal to that of US or UK or France or Russia or Israel.
They don't need to match arsenals. All they need is one (on a rotating basis, as they decay quickly). Read up on MAD.
Just another way to say "we are really not trying to improve our missile technology." then one day they will all of a sudden have a intercontinental missiles, with a look what we found expression on their face.
not good.
Like the US?
Naturally, ICBM and manned space programs share technology. Just like Ice Cream trucks and Humvies share technology: wheels, motor, chassis. There is a big difference between designing a rocket to carry a 70 KG warhead to orbit and designing a rocket to carry 300 KG of human and life support equipment to orbit. The right eyes can tell the two apart, just like civilian and military nuclear reactors can tell the two apart.
Note that I am Israeli and I am scared to death (literally) of the Iranians acquiring nuclear military technology and long-range delivery methods (though they can already reach my home from Western Iran). However, they are as entitled to the technology as anyone else, especially if it is home-grown.
"Oil costs the Iranians just as much as everyone else."
How, exactly, is that? If they use it internally, the shipping costs are much lower than buying off the world market.
I'm sure they'd rather sell the oil at the very high price that it soon will be (think $300/barrel in ten years, when the Iranian atomic program is production-ready and peak oil has hit) and use nice, cheap, clean nuclear at home.
I'd like to see the US with a similar policy, actually.
For this to be consistent with the results of the study, the negative effect of such early deaths on average longevity must be smaller than the positive effect that the polygamists have on the same statistic. Which suggests you're totally overblowing this by reasoning on the basis of stereotypes.
It says right there in TFS that they only accounted for men over 60. So those who died below sixty were not accounted for in this study, as though they had never existed.
1) That's the flaw in your argument. 2) That's the flaw in the study.
Gary Larson (the Far Side author, I cannot believe that I still remember his name) mentioned that the cow has become a standard unit of measure. I don't remember the details, but it was funny, and he backed it up with years of TFS comics.
In the US at least, we use that term for a device that measures very small things, a micro [=very small] meter [=that which measures]. It's pronounced 'my kromiter', not 'micro meter'. I think using it to mean a millionth of a meter would be confusing, regardless of it being technically correct.
I know micron isn't an official SI unit, but it sure as heck is better than "millionth of a meter". Otherwise just use micrometer and let context dictate whether it is a measuring device or unit of measurement.
The moment I read it... I felt this enormous pain in my stomach. It got worse and worse to the point where I was heaving with my face on the keyboard. I felt my cheeks ripping apart and out came this little winged monkey. With a fez hat. He just handed me the game, gave me the thumbs up signal and flew out the window.
That was NOT the thumbs up signal. That was the beginning of Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A.
I have an implicit open invitation to all humans (and dogs) to visit my house, until they prove themselves unworthy. It is one of the perks of not living in my parent's basement.
I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of kernel panics I've seen on either my Linux box or my Mac Mini. My Windows machines however.....
All the Chinese together have not enough fingers to count embarrassing BSODs that I've seen in university lectures, malls, and the like. Is that because Windows is so widespread? Then it is being spread in all the wrong places.

The Jews control Sicily now?!
You really didn't think that Moshe's Pizza in Haifa would keep us satisfied for very long, did you?

Wonder if they'll fix that Israel problem for us....
No need, David Ben Gurion did just that. The problem has been solved 60 years ago.

2) That's the flaw in the study.
9.81 = g (acceleration, units m/(S*S))
t (time, units s)
s * m/(s*s) = m/s
The GP asked about speed (how fast) not acceleration. That is why the t is present.
t*9.81 m/s^2
Hand in your geek credentials!
s * m/s^2 = m/s
He asked about speed, not acceleration. That's what the t is in there for.
t*9.81 m/s
Of course not. With Linux it would not need antivirus software.
SO? A foot is a known standard length.
So is a micrometer. The point is that they both have objects that use their name.

That said by someone who measures distance by the FOOT?
(
As in: How many feet in a yard?
Depends upon what's on the grill!

(does anybody still remember The Far Side?)
Nice!
Uh... no?
The story is about Duke Nukem 3D for Xbox Live Arcade, NOT Duke Nukem Forever.
Bad summary. Bad.
Don't worry. 2009 will be the year of DNF on the console. Along with Linux on the desktop.
This *is* one of the signs of the Apocalypse, right?
Windows and Linux, living together, mass hysteria!
It's NOT just you my friend.

All computers crash - I've made Linux, BSD, OSX, and Solaris machines kernel panic. Hell, I've witnessed a newer zSeries mainframe crash.
You are not invited into my house anymore.
... but for TV audience around the Globe, image was different, they used CG to convert BSOD into neato Compiz Cube animations.
And fireworks.
I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of kernel panics I've seen on either my Linux box or my Mac Mini. My Windows machines however.....

next thing you'll be telling me BSD never gets hacked unless it's playing a prank on it's admin.

Even worse, he got the meme wrong. The title of the blog post should have been "All your VM are belong to us". Idiot.
I modified it to be "ku5t0mK".
OMG HELP MY MOUSE IS MOVING BY ITSELF!
