2 ounces fresh wakame seaweed
2 Japanese cucumbers
assorted young greens (mesclun)
1 tablespoon su rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil
pinch salt
pinch fresh white pepper
Chinese mustard
Pour hot water over fresh wakame seaweed. Immerse in water and drain. Cut into 1 inch lengths.
Wash the cucumbers then take a fork and run it along the skin from tip to tip on one side and then the other to score it to make a simple pattern. Japanese cucumbers are much more delicate than Western varities. If you cannot find them, use a single English cucumber, slice it in half and seed it. Cut on the bias into thin rounds and sprinkle with salt.
Tear the baby greens into bite-sized pieces and arrange in a bowl.
Mix and stir the dressing ingredients.
Mix seaweed, cucumbers with the dressing and then place them ontop of the greens. Garnish with gomasio (sesame salt).
Not hard to find. Trust Google and keep a well stocked kitchen.
This is a LONG project. All the 'current administration' can do is get the ball rolling. Which they are doing.
Uhm, no. The current administration is spouting off buzzwords in an attempt to give the unwashed masses "warm fuzzies" in order to boost their standings in the upcoming elections. We can't seem to do the whole long term project thing - historically speaking short term seems to works better.
When it comes to science our current president is a total twit. He throws out phrases like "Hydrogen Fuel Initiative" without any clue what those pretty words mean. With current technology hydrogen is just a fucking battery, but saying "Hydrogen Fuel Initiative" makes you sound like you've got a big dick.
So get the ball rolling like Nixon did. Same shit, different day...
Quoting from Dr. Fletcher, NASA Administrator:
There are four main reasons why the Space Shuttle is important and is the right step in manned space flight and the US space program.
The Shuttle is the only meaningful new manned space program which can be accomplished on a modest budget
It is needed to make space operations less complex and less costly
It is needed to do useful things
It will encourage greater international participation in space flight
...and the Shuttle/ISS fulfills which of the above?
And consumers lobby would put pressure and Wal-mart to stop buying it and eventually it would be sold in special stores.
Let's just ignore the grammar and spelling issues and assume you're referring to the:
"A libertarian would want heroin to be available from your local Wal-mart on the same terms as table salt."
statement. Now, let me ask you - have you ever been to Wal-mart late at night? Try it some time, and look at those people. Tell me they wouldn't go bugfuck over cheap, legal Chinese heroin...
Oh joy - I can now listen to a bunch of incoherent drunks royally fucking up songs in the privacy of my own home. Good job, I think the internet is done now. Let's not innovate anymore, please. Go home now, for the sake of the children.
After listening for 10 minutes or so I'm feeling a strange urge to buy a shotgun. It's that bad...
I'll be impressed when I meet a cat that appreciates quantum physics...
And I'll be impressed when I meet a person that appreciates the implications of Theory of Everything. Why do we assume that we have the brainpower to understand the "ultimate"?
We keep looking for this proof or that proof, playing with strings and branes and quantum wierdness...
What if the Universe doesn't work that way?.?..?...
We keep assuming that it will all boil down to a set of rules that we can identify, catagorise, and cognify.
No doubt a wierd holiday, dating back to the ancient Sumerian celebration of Zaglug. Throw Jesus into the mix, sprinkle with a dash of Nordic and Germanic traditions. Add a bit of Hungarian (we'll use the Great Stag with a pinch of paprika) and simmer for a few hours.
Now thanks to a greeting card guru and a soft drink company we add a fat bearded white man to the mix.
Throw in a bit of Polar Bear and Penguin meat, add a tiny pinch of Kosher salt, some Old Bay® Blackened Seasoning and and you've got a meal.
Now I don't know where you get your holidays, but where I get mine they need a little bit of spice, so I'm gonna throw a couple of lawyers into the mix and *BAM*
US: I would like one hundred six packs please: 106 packs?
You are asserting an ambiguity that would never exist in the US, as a "six pack" is a known and accepted unit of measurement. The only way the above could be confusing is the fact that for that much beer you'ld be better off getting a keg.
There was no valid scientific reason for sending men to the moon either. Everything they did could've been done cheaper and more safely with probes.
That's been pretty much covered. It was an entirely political race between the USA and Russia during the Cold War. It was all abour bragging rites and draining the others economy. We (the US) won that one. Old news...
What the ISS *is* good for (if they'd ever fund it to allow it to be) would be a good launch point for probes and satellites.
Well, I'll call bullshit on that. In it's current orbit the ISS is useless as a launch platform. The ISS's orbit is a compromise between the original NASA idea and the Soviet's launch capacity. As it stands, the ISS is basically an expensive LEO Bowflex.
Assuming you can get the shuttle program back on-line, you'd just lift up the parts you need,
Uhm, so basically use the most expensive method to move them...
assemble at the station and launch from there.
...to get them to the worst possible place they could be? So we use the most expensive launch vehicle on the planet to send expensive machines to a shitty (ie - damn hard to escape) orbit. Call my congressperson - I'm all for it.
Seriously. Mods - hear me out before hitting "troll."
I'm listening...
Stand on the street and sell weed. You would make a lot of money. Yes, it's true that if things go badly you end up in jail. But if things go badly in Iraq, you end up dead.
Try your idea in any midsized town in the US and see how long it takes for the local street power structure (Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, local gangs, etc) to pop a cap in your ass and take your weed and your money. You wouldn't last 30 minutes. Go back to playing Dope Wars...

The Large Hot Pipe Organ has got to be the coolest homebrew musical gadgets ever created. It's a big honkin MIDI controlled pipe organ powered by propane explosions. Industrial design, explosions, and it sounds good too:
If you're going to be dealing with computer so obsolete that it has no USB ports, well then, either it's yours (upgrade!) or it's a special occasion
Yeah, right. Get out there into the real world and you'll find a shitload of "legacy" boxes running mission critical systems without USB. I was at a bank the other day (fortunately not mine) and saw a teller shutting down her PC - Windows 95. I doubt her box has a USB port.

Nothing new here at all. Old school IRC BS with a pretty GUI...
I can't believe that NASA is even considering abandoning the Hubble.
Follow the money...
Let me get this straight. They are going to abandon a working spacecraft, that continues to revolutionize deep space imaging, on the whim of a politician spewing typical election year rhetoric?
It's not about what NASA wants, it's about NASA trying to save their ass dealing with a Commander in Chief who's decided to slit their throat as a sacrifice to Defence contractors. This isn't something the scientists at NASA decided on, it's a political game. And currently, despite the pretty pictures from Spirit, NASA is losing. The possibility that a declining pop star might be a pervert gets better ratings, and is therefore obviously more important...
The services I mentioned were internal services, meaning they have nothing to do whatsoever with the outside world. A caching DNS server does connect to the outside world. A time server (unless you have an atomic clock in your basement) connects to the outside world.
A good forensics expert can slice and kill your false I-was-hacked defense in a matter of days.
...and in jurisdictions that can't afford a "forensics expert" and the local jury pool has a hard time figuring out the subtle nuances of AOL 9.0 the defendant is still screwed. The DA throws out a generic "it's for the children" speech and the defendant (guilty or not) goes down.
The CDC started claiming BackOrifice2k was a remote administration tool
Uhm, especially considering the cost (nothing) BO2K actually a nice tool. The fact that it can be used by idiots to attack systems run by idiots is my problem?
but that didn't make it any less frustrating to find someone had compromised your system and installed it
If it's "your" system, isn't it your fault they compromised it?
