... nearly all anti-science people are Republicans
Not only what you have said is baseless, it's utterly
it seems to me anyone that is member of Republican party has to be anti-climate research. Two examples that stand out are a PBS documentary about congress debating climate research is one longtime congressman that was voted out of office, he is a Republican but voted on a bill to fund a program relating to climate research. Another I was talking about a presentation by Neil DeGrasse Tyson I attended, a friend that shares same interests in space and technology as I do commented "ugh, I'd run out of that theatre as fast as I can." Apparently since NDT promotes climate research but my friend being a Republican has to oppose NDT because conflict with "party requirements." Yes, it's all political but geez you guys. At least collect data and do analysis. You may not like the results. We don't argue about whether E=mc^2 is correct or not.
I second what you say and I want to add the death penalty also prevents learning what motivates murderers and also other despicable people. Psychologists can study these people like Charles Manson. Then there are others that were put to death such as Rosenbergs (sp? the couple accused of selling atomic secrets) so as time goes on and viewpoints change, we miss on what there side of the story is. Saddam Hussein was hanged shortly after US occupation, supposably he really believed he had WMDs because his staff said so out of fear so they propped up this myth. And another was Saddam was more concerned of invasion by Iran instead of US. I also think he could have spilled a lot of dirt on various world leaders including those in US during his time in power. But he is conveniently dead so all this is subject to conjecture.
Getting back to life in jail means innocent people have a chance, few years ago Michigan (or some other state in that region) the governor put a halt on all death penalties even though he was pro-death penalty. Reason was a study showed 160 death row inmates were found innocent due to DNA testing. I don't have details on the story, I heard of it briefly mentioned on a radio news program.
Of all the reasonable candidates, (Low earth orbit, the Lagrange points, the Moon, Mars, Asteroids) Mars is about the worst.
Reason everyone loves to talk about Mars is because the task to build hardware is deferred to smucks 20 years into the future (Mars is always 20 years away so it's easy to crank out papers, graphics, PDFs and PPTs). That's why nobody talks about the Moon unless you start building hardware now. Though things like a earth transfer stage and a lunar lander takes time but if you don't have something substantial to demonstrate in 10 years, your credibility will be very low.
If you eliminated police entirely, reports of crime would *certainly* go down. If police simply stopped responding to calls, reports of crime would certainly go down.
I wonder for those cities showing statistics of numbers of burglaries going down but it is really a result of departments that no longer respond to burglary calls. i.e. San Jose PD will not respond or take calls unless a violent crime occurred or a burglary in progress. Talking with someone who said one neighborhood in SJ which is fairly nice and well has had a huge increase in number of burglaries. One group burglarized four houses in a row during daytime when everyone was at work. It seems if you are in the crime business, these are 'perfect' crimes because you can freely ransack a house (as long as occupants are not there and house is not alarmed) nobody will do anything. In same neighborhood a house owned by a cop got burglarized, that got some attention.
"Pending Radio Legislation"
from the magazine Radio Age, July 1924
CONGRESS has adjourned without acting either way on pending radio legislation, according to the news dispatches from Washington.
Unless a special session is called, which does not seem likely at this time, radio will be untouched by legal attachments until next year, at least.
The two most important measures which were shelved by the adjournment of the well-meaning but unusually deliberative governmental bodies are the White Bill and the Dill Bill. The first proposes to establish governmental control over radio broadcasting, reception and perhaps the industry eventually. This bill, while not viciously attacked, did not go through because some representatives of the people wanted to know just why such a young and untried industry as radio should suffer the bonds of law so soon. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the White Bill will ever become a law -- so the fans may rest assured they will not be hindered for some time to come in that respect.
The Dill Bill is more far reaching in its scope. It is liberal and fair-minded. It asks that the copyright laws be amended so that copyrighted music can be broadcast without the payment of levies to the music publishers. Although this bill has been opposed at every step by huge organizations and moneyed interests, as well as several prominent music publishers, it was about to be passed with a fair majority when Congress adjourned.
There is still hope for the Dill Bill, then, and we hope that when it finally reaches the President's desk it will represent the result of a fair compromise between the broadcasters and the music publishers, in the interests of the fan who listens to broadcast music and helps the sale of the published article by buying the pieces he likes best.
Government legislation, we believe, appears to be the only means yet suggested which offers any kind of a solution to the bitter enmity between the broadcasters and the so-called music "trust."
Radio's recent jump to prominence in official circles such as Congress is only one indication of its growing importance. Big capital interests, legislators and public spirited citizens are realizing more and more that radio will some day control the destinies of our nation; and accordingly they are setting out to prevent its too sudden growth to an unwieldy influence. Quick government control, the legislators aver, will prevent radio from becoming a menace instead of the help and pleasure it should be.
In a measure these radio-legislators are right. Something must be done to prevent the air from becoming a bedlam of tangled wave lengths. Something must be done to prevent the ether from being clogged with propaganda and useless stuff that will discourage interest in the world's latest miracle.
If legislation works along those lines, it will be beneficial. But if it takes a political trend, this country will see a united uprising of righteously aroused fans -- lovers and promoters of the good in radio.
However, that means someone's gotta put up some money for a earth transfer stage and a lunar lander. There off with a start on the commercial lander but first need to make it work, and will there be enough funding (wherever it may come from) to scale it up to industrial size? I wonder what Dennis Wingo http://www.amazon.com/Moonrush... has to say about this?
Unlike NASA, Musk, and Mars One use Mars as a goal. They romanticize about Mars because it's so far away (we'll put someone to Mars in 20 years and been saying that for past 50 years) and can put off building hardware for some poor smucks in the far future to get stuck with this task.
Hope this is not a Glomar Explorer repeat. And please no He3 talk (see Rei's above comment about lunar He-3 mining is pretty useless).
The FAA is the government's weapon of mass destruction that causes ongoing devastation to all of aviation, and excellent proof that we do not live in a free country.
I'd also put blame on TSA that makes boarding airlines miserable and they want to expand "security" into GA. Then you have local governments and officials trying to close down GA airports. Lots of examples of elected officials that tried to close Reid Hillview and Santa Monica along with huge following of general public ("why did they put that airport next to a shopping center?"). And there is big business itself expanding into open areas around airports squeezing out the private pilot. And consolidation of airlines of one company buying out others then nickel and diming over baggage, meals, etc. Note that GA and airline travel are two different classes of aviation. In some cases airline travel is expanding but overall GA is going down (I do wonder where future airline pilots will come from, as many got their start hanging out at GA airports which nowadays authorities will look at such lurkers as terrorists).
That "one" facility controls traffic through one of the largest hub cities in the country. For some of the major airlines, if you can't connect through chicago, you can't get to about 75% of the rest of the country. So, yea, there's an argument about that...you dolt.

Obviously you had to bring this up from the Stanley Kubrick movie, but perhaps that line from the movie Kubrick was on to something. He did a lot of research prior to making Dr. Strangelove (probably had others do the same). There was a proposed "dooms day machine" like described in the movie but Khrushchev didn't approve it (that weapon system was too insane). I talked to a B52 navigator who flew missions in 1960s, he said Kubrick must have got info from SAC as procedures were much like the early A models (setting the bombs for a drop was numerous tedious steps).
it will be legislated out of existence. I saw this http://spectrum.ieee.org/view-... article, kind of reminded me skydivers and hang gliders used their organizations USPA and USHPA to maintain some control. Otherwise FAA will step in and make it very difficult to enjoy these hobbies. Well I'm stretching this analogy and organizing RC hobbyists is like herding cats.
She just hates the whole mindset and would prefer to work in other areas. [snip]
They just don't like the idea and would rather do biology or psych or chemistry.
Seems like biology, psych, chemistry is where the action is. Programming is simply a tool used in these professions. Coding just to do coding can get old really fast, especially for someone 140+ IQ.
I don't know but I like to imagine it. Cynthia Phillips of SETI says when looking for life, go where the water is and there's a lot of water on Europa. When I first heard her say that, I always imagine a submarine that bores down into the ice and then goes cruising around taking pics and vids of aquatic life. Of course in real world it will take considerable effort to first land, then go through the ice, then submarine around [and a zillion other things that must be done to make it all work]. (etc. etc. etc). And there may not be any life at all.
Article about California's multi-billion $ high speed rail and with lots of comments criticizing the program. A reply to one of them was, "Believe me my short sighted friend, ten years from now when gas is 8 dollars a gallon and rent is 3,000 dollars per month for a studio in Fremont, you'll thank every moonbeam you see for the money you save."
His actions saved the documents from certain destruction.
This kind of thing has happened before. Some years ago (I cannot recall actual wording, read this years ago) an late 1800s old house was being remodeled. Crews found newspapers and many documents lining the framework under wall paneling. Back in the days it was common to use newspapers and other papers for insulation. Obviously they found some very old newspapers but also a original copy from late 1700s (or was it early 1800s) document. I can't remember how the story went, either one of Thomas Jefferson's papers (draft of Constitution?) or a treaty with an Indian tribe (that was never honored). I'm too lazy to search for the story of this but it was also on TV news with someone commenting, "who knows what historical documents have been used for insulation and still exists in walls."
I hit reply too soon, wanted to say I like what you did with the math. It is true one job is worth 1428.57 Hz but is meaningless like the App Store math (a few developers made much larger than $16K and most made only pennies). Also illustrates selling spectrum to reduce deficit is meaningless as well.
hertz or hurtz? sorry I couldn't pass this one up. I do what you did with the math, like what someone did in article about Apple app store of $10 billion created 627,000 jobs that results in one job of $15948.96.
"Because America" is a legitimate requirement for a Presidential aircraft. The President and what he uses is a powerful statement about the strength of US industry. That's why Queen Elizabeth II has a Bentley, and the French President is driven around in a Peugeot or a Citroën.
That makes sense though Bentley and all other UK cars are no longer UK (now owned by companies from other countries). Boeing is a US company but I was talking with someone who was familiar with the USAF tanker selection and competition. He said if a tanker from EADS will provide more US jobs because much of what Boeing has been off shored (though some of this may have reversed after 787 debacles).
