Not sure how you are coming to that conclusion... using a simple linear fit for the last n months of the most recent HADCRUT3 global data, you end up with the following trends:
144 months = -0.17 deg C / century 132 months = +0.14 deg C / century 120 months = +0.60 deg C / century 108 months = -0.11 deg C / century 96 months = -1.5 deg C / century
Covered under 'inspector' - all of Airbuses FBW systems, just like Boeings, are certified to fly by the FAA and EASA.
And, yet, I'm am positive that Quantas 72 was properly inspected prior to flight. Even though it was only a demonstration, I am equally sure that Air France 296Q was also fully inspected.
Inspection only covers the known "knowns" and known "unknowns"; there's still plenty of places for unknown "unknowns" to hide in a flight control system. In some cases, it takes an incident or disaster investigation for unknowns to become knowns.
I'm all for capitalisim and making a profit, but buying something just so you can turn around and sell it to someone else for more money, without having made any improvements is just jackassery.
So I guess you buy EVERYTHING directly from the manufacturer and you've never purchased from a grocery, convenience, or retail store?

I think that the period between 2001 and 2008 disproved the idea that the US right is the party of small government.
Republican Party != "US right"; well at least not currently.
The 2008 election would not have changed the direction this country is going to... merely the speed of change. Both major candidates had a platform which required significantly larger federal government.
I usually think that when the government starts merging with industry, it's called Fascism, which is more an attribute of the right than left, but both parties are moving that direction.
In the United States:
The right wing, taken to an absolute extreme, is anarchy (no government). The left wing, taken to an absolute extreme, is tyranny (total government).
You would not publicly announce the breach of security. Rather, you would plant false data into the same computer which was compromised. When the Chinese hacker returns to it to download even more information, then he would get gigabytes of fake data.
I didn't say it could be pinned on a particular political party, but to an idea (basically, deregulation is good and the government is the enemy).
Silly me. I don't see how I could have ever come to that conclusion with statements like:
1) Which nation did this huge economic disaster start? America, a country that had been under complete Republican rule for 6 of the last 8 years and had undergone many deregulations over the past three decades which directly contributed to this crisis.
Is there some other way to read the bolded text then blaming the Republican party?
We put in place many regulations after the Great Depression that worked great...
No reason to speak in generalities... please, give examples.
These companies did not know what the heck they were doing. Giants like AIG relied on their AAA credit for their business model, not the belief that the government would rescue them if they failed (they never believed they would lose their AAA rating much less fail).
And, yet, the US government has poured about the same about of money into AIG as what AIG's maximum market capitalization has even been.
The stockholders of AIG lost their shirts on this, it's nuts to think they would do this on purpose.
And the reason you think the stockholders had anything to do with it is.... ?
You're also completely missing the differences in motivation, in the case of Bush's economic adviser he resigned since nobody was listening to him
That's one way of looking at it. Completely wrong, but it is one way. Usually when your boss "asks" you to resign, it is just a polite way of saying "you're fired".
while in the case of Richardson they were trying to avoid public controversy.
Sure. Apples and oranges. And your thoughts on Judd "are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy" Gregg?
3) Which European countries have been effected least? Spain and France due to their more conservative banking regulations and greater safety net for people living there.
That's not really a fair comparison. Whereas the US chooses to prop up failing automakers will ill-advised "loans", France just increases demand.
Which nation did this huge economic disaster start? America, a country that had been under complete Republican rule for 6 of the last 8 years and had undergone many deregulations over the past three decades which directly contributed to this crisis.
First, if you think that the economic "disaster" can be attributed to a specific political party, then you a playing the part written for you quite nicely.
Second, true free markets are not guaranteed to be always upward moving; failures and downturns are part of the natural process. And there is really nothing wrong with that. When a government gets in the way of the natural progression, it is no longer a free market.
Third, the die was cast for the downturn to become a disaster when big business realized that the Federal government considered them "too big to fail". At that point, they had no reason NOT to take huge risks because they knew that they could socialize the risks and privatize the rewards.
Currently, the disaster is well on its way to a depression, mainly because this country did not use the "good" times to prepare adequately for the bad (thanks President Bush) and are taking steps that, in the long run, will have a negative impact on our economy (thanks President Obama).
The first top economic adviser to Bush 43 resigned shortly into Bush's first term because he was simply ignored and believed their economic policy would be disastrous (paying for wars with tax cuts was an extremely bad idea). It's hard to argue that he was wrong now (it really was even then...).
I call your O'Neill and Lindsey and raise you a Richardson and Gregg. At least O'Neill and Lindsey almost made it to President Bush's third year in office (roughly half-way through his first term, which is a little more than "shortly"); President Obama's choices barely made it three weeks, if that.
"People are more scared of a center-left documentary maker with an eye than the 400 ways they are filmed every day at the school, the subway, the mall," he says.
Show me a security camera that editorializes, splices in out-of-context content, and chooses to show only the material that supports its position and then he might have a point.
It's not a handout. It's a (partial) reimbursement from the government to the previous users of the bandwidth for seizing the bandwidth and selling it for billions, which went into the treasury.
That was true for the ORIGINAL coupon program ($1.3B). The NEW funding ($650M) is being monetized (ie - printed) by the Treasury.
There are a lot of cheaper ways to get emergency weather and EBS alerts than from a TV. Hell, most will even alert you when one of these statements affects you, as opposed to a broadcast medium that is usually the same to all members of the DMA.
Then again, I'm a crazy liberal who thinks that the government should give to the poor, not the rich.
Then again, I am a crazy American who things the federal government should give very little to anyone, but provide only the most basic of services; being poor should not be "comfortable". As Ben Franklin wrote, "I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it." (From "On the Price of Corn and Management of the Poor")
As far as the new coupons go, it's probably better for our economy in the long run for everyone to get them and just tossed them in the trash. Given where those converter boxes are made, most of that borrowed/monetized $80 ends up in someone else's economy (China, maybe?).

It's an Airbus. You have to add "engineer" and "programmer" to your P1 list.

And, for some reason, you think you can trust the government's? How quaint.
According to a CPI conversion table, $6/hr in 1969 is equivalent to:
$6/hr * 2080 hr/year / .172 * 1.022 = $74,154.42/yr in 2009 ($35.65 / hr)
They can receive bailout funds from the stimulus bill under the guise of a "smart power grid" appliance.
You think I'm kidding, don't you?

Fake data? Bah. I'd much rather we plant bad information that will cause the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space.
Checkmate.
All the bot needs to do is do a google search for "site:example.com", hit a random sampling of the results, and then register.
In the grand scheme of things, it probably only adds a few percent of overhead for the bot.

Too bad no one told Saul Zaentz that.
I am sitting here in awe of your powers of perception.
Next are you going to tell me that fish can swim, the Pope is Catholic, and bears really do shit in the woods?
I have no problem with people donating their time and code.
However, when I am given no choice but to pay them for it, it's no longer charity, it's socialism.
