Yes, I don't understand how they were going to get an injunction against him. The only way they would know the content of his speech is if it was on the agenda. Why not just list him as a "Featured Speaker" with no topic. How can a judge grant an injunction in that case?
Trade Secrets. Right. If the trade is protecting the good 'ole boy network. What the hell are security trade-secrets? Security through obscurity? I doubt this guy was about to provide a list of documents with the nuclear codes. This is about how the tools are being wrongfully used.
...what do they have to hide? Whats good for the goose is good for the...oh fuck it. Who am I kidding. That ideology hasn't applied for years when in comes to revolving door deals between the Feds and Corps. vs. The People.
Um, the Earth doesn't have zero gravity either, but an object in unassisted orbit will relatively experience weightlessness as it circles whatever mass is in the middle. Same principle that applies on the Earth applies on the Moon, although the orbital periods and distances could vary. Both situations involve an inertial reference frame in which the forward motions of the space station relative to the curvature of the earth 'matches' the rate of free-fall of the station, keeping it in orbit, but experiencing weightlessness. Check out Einstein's elevator.
The moon doesn't have zero G, and is completely unsuitable for the job the ISS is built for.
The ocean is pretty damn unsuitable for the job also, wouldn't you agree?
How much does Hollywood pay the talking heads to pawn off every piece of drivel they come up with. I can't go anywhere for news, TV News, internet news, etc. without seeing this marketed junk all over the place.
Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_physics. We most definitely do not know it all, we know much, but there remain many unresolved questions that have real world implications outside of research labs. Even if we find out that all the particles in the standard model exist and behave as theories show they should, that still doesn't reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity.
With no disrespect, does the observation of this very short-lived particle take us anywhere useful?
Since they hypothesized its existence prior to experimental evidence and discovery, it helps confirm developed notions and theories inherent in the standard model. Useful to who: particle physicist and folks needing some publicity to keep those kinds of programs alive in these days of spending cuts, not so useful for the general public in the short term. Long term, who knows, and for me it is more motivation for me to not drop out of my BS Physics program knowing that we don't know it all.
That sounds more like being unversed in company policy than it does lacking innate intellectual capability. Now if they are drooling when they say "We gives yoo refund pleez", then definitely agreed.
I'll make you some tent brewed beer come the days you mentioned, and we'll have a glass together. I tell myself things can't get that shitty, but its good to be prepared if they ever did. We live in New Rome for a reason. Just how long until the house of cards falls. Keep your ammo dry folks, shitty times could come at the drop of a dime, the imaginary stock market, a nuke, oil reserves, whatever. Better to live prepared and know you wont have to enact emergency plans than to wish you had them in the first place.
Just came up on Google when I searched for filetype:pdf. I guess ICE should seize Google's servers now:). Like your sig BTW. Stranger in a Strange land is one of my favorites of all time.

Now we have a reason to go there! I have an idea. Lets train TSA agents as astronauts and send them to the moon. Hell Mars too while we're at it. They can continue to be be the monkeys that they are to ensure that DHS secures the space frontier from intergalactic terrorist. Benefits everybody. Helps manned space exploration, gives the TSA an actual useful mission (although they would not know it from there 'new' mission statement), and I can lololol all the way to the space industry! Even better, have the government put all these agents on privatized corporate space-craft, so we grow the private-sector space exploration arena!
It's not more ridiculous than their current method of operation. We have to save the children from intergalactic IEDs and space-boot bombers!
According the the NHTSA, on avg about 40,000 people die in car accidents every year. So you would have to crash four fully loaded 737's into the dirt every single week for the entire year to equal the number of people killed by car accidents. But really!!! The billions are worth it!!!!! Good 'ole boy network....
But we got BIN LADEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh. He's laughing in his cave--erm...sea grave as we get groped on each flight. Who woulda thought so much government regulation could go into a commercial enterprise. How long until cavity searches are required at sporting events, malls, greyhound buses, cruise ships, fishing expeditions, skydiving, airplane tours, E3, WWDC, etc. The fascination with airplane security theater is just a ploy for the good 'ole boys club to rake in the dough. Its like building a 100 meter tall cement wall around your sheep, but letting your children go play in the buffalo heard. But those are some really safe sheep!!!!! Promise!!!! You are never 100% safe. Get the fuck over it people. How about everybody in the US take a couple self-defense classes, get trained up like the Spartans, and know how to use your body as a weapon. There's only so many of us the 'terrorist' can kill on buses, planes, bathroom stalls, etc before they get a judo chop to the larynx anyhow
And always about your compliance with the nanny state. For all the wild-ass right-wingers chanting about 'Obama wanting to form a civilian defense force--one as powerful as our military' -- this is a little too close to that once far out mark. But I will qualify that statement with the fact that it was Bush and company who allowed for these sort of bureaucratic atrocities to begin with.
For those who fly frequently, I don't know how you do it. The last time I flew it was the first time in about 2 years, and I was blown away at how militaristic those TSA goons are. Goose stepping around in their little blue uniforms with their big scary DHS logo's. WTF USA. Terrorist 1. USA -65535 and counting. I requested the enhanced patdown in lieu of the rad-machine, and was basically coerced into the scanner because 'they didn't have the time'.

I wrote an import into SQL and am seeing generally the same thing with my off the cuff statistical analysis.

Halt! Ihre papier bitte!
Trade secrets like the socke-puppet armies? Or perhaps targeting Americans for the banks and CIA? Or perhaps false flag operations, government sanctioned hacking for the alphabet soup agencies, etc. Blackmailing journalist not touting the party line.

Are you telling me when the Federal Reserve profits that money goes into reducing the deficit? I thought they were a pseodo-private institution?
Get fucking rid of them. And the TSA. But now that those assholes unionized, they'll never go away I'm sure. Land of the slave, home of the serf.

I guess its more forgivable than AARP.

First story in the PDF. I'd never read it until today--great stuff.
