Everyone *should* learn to play music in some form or another. Unfortunately, it's one of the first things to be dropped in underfunded "teach to the test" public education, and too many families cannot afford to do it on their own.
There's been an aerostat in the Florida Keys for, what, decades? A plane ran into the cable in 2007 and crashed. Somebody must not have read the NOTAMs.
I'm just surprised it's taken so long to be added to D.C.'s layers of defense. Much better coverage than ground-based radar, and far less expensive than keeping an AWACS or E-2C in the air all the time.
Or, our standard of living could decline towards that of the third-world countries we're shipping our jobs to, until they meet - and then others will continue upwards and us down, due to momentum.
Well, as to Heinlein, they farked up "Starship Troopers", IMO. It only made me want to go back and recover from it by reading the book again.
More appropriately for US tastes would be "Marching Morons". Oh, except it's already been done, although I forget the name of the actual film. It was, however, quite moronic...but I guess it really was supposed to be!
Every once in a while, we who think are are always normal are these crazies: Long trip, lousy airlines, delayed flights, missed connections, crap food ==> total meltdown over stupid shit (or just plain stupidity). And...
Well, maybe just one example of said behaviour is enough.

You forgot "The Marching Morons" - derivative works mentioned notwithstanding.
Libertarianism only exists in an egalitarian society, anywhere else it's just a euphemism for feudalism.
Still relevant, in many ways.

Clearly you don't work in the US.
On dividends and capital gains, a surcharge equal to the percentage of US citizens living at or below 150% of the poverty level.
This is less about the OS than it is about choosing the wrong caffeinated beverage...

Well, one more Brunner, anyway: "The Sheep Look Up" is easily as good as SOZ, or so my decades-old memory of it tells me.
Good tends towards the 'not devious'.
Lightweight, nice little applets...except a couple are kinda fracked now. Been running it since SuSE 5.something.

>>> I wonder when FOX will figure out that you can't put everything in a nice little box and have it accurately explain the population overall.
Sometime after they cancel "Firefly", unfortunately.
