Odd, but I've never heard the "other side" argue to disarm the government - never heard "let's arm everyone with daises and sing Kumbaya". Those who want to disarm society invariably mean to make the government bigger and stronger.
Venezuela has this backwards. Statistics show that governments are responsible for roughly 100x the number of deaths as private citizens. Yet there will be those who now say Hugo Chavez is such a humanitarian?
Not only new games, but older games. I have a few oldies-but-goodies that are Windows games. And with XP/Windows 7, there is no compelling reason to switch.
Fax machines persist because they are easy to use, and they work. Drop in the document, hit a few buttons and walk away.
No boot-up, paper handling hassles, scanning, file management, choices, etc. Just drop, dial and shoot.
Fax is going to the network, where IP will replace the modem, but the concept is so simple that it persists.
Why do we still "dial" phone numbers on our cell phones?
With "worldwide output in the nanogram range", I'd do the rocket motor research here before investing in Van Allen belt farming. The papaer estimates, at best, 15 nanograms in the entire region!?!? Even with 100% efficient harvesting, and the most rosy estimate of content, we are talking 15 nanograms.
While it may be a "concept", practicality is so far away we may want to work on ESP or try deep mining for dilithium crystals first.
"Based on this and the subtraction of the solar proton contribution, the antiproton content of the
Earth’s magnetosphere from this effect is estimated to be between 0.15 and 15 nanograms. This is
replenished every few years."
Free speech of private corporations and private unions. The only issue I see is where government funded unions can also now contribute.
I own parts of some corporations, and I approve this message.
So bad colds can cause loss of the sense of smell? That could make Zicam's case look a lot easier - except they would have to find a jury that even remotely understands causality.
Wait until the administration and congress raise taxes on 95% of the job-providers and producers of goods. Then the capital itself will begin moving overseas to countries with sufficient stability and more favorable tax policies.
This is true, but Umbilical Cord cells aren't magical weapon for curing all diseases. There are not so many real uses for them today. They are promising, but not really curing the diseases.
Are there any uses for embryonic stem cells today? I recall seeing several breakthroughs with "adult" stem cells, but none with embryonic.
What of the pulses' effects on marine life?
"...low-energy electrode that emits the pulse..."
We'll need at least a few hundred years of study and legal injunctions.
By and large, partisan sniping notwithstanding, the war in Iraq is already won. The US is not in a 'bombers and tanks' shooting mode - even the number of IEDs and attacks on soldiers is way down.
What the US needs to do now is build the peace. If we walk away now the fragile peace will crumble and all would have been in vain. A little stability in the region, even as fragile as the 'stability' in Iraq is a very good long term investment. While walking out may sound good, it is short sighted and we will pay much heavier down the road.
Iraq would benefit from a long term US presence much like Germany and Japan benefited. And concerning energy interests, a long term presence (not war) is a win-win.
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Einstein seemed to support both and he turned out OK. Offering the possibility side-by-side with evolution theory is not so bad. newatheist.com makes it out to be a return to the dark ages.
"open and objective discussion" - keep thinking.
So a woman is professing how much better women are at coding (or whatever). Yawn. No bias and feminist sentiment there...
Talk like this usually makes for good flame wars but rarely has any substance. That said I would like to see more women coders: women make better coffee.;+)

"Venezuela, our citizens are unarmed; please rob, rape and murder at leisure."
I thought that is the closing line of the Venezuelan oath of office....

Well I'm sure sea levels were raised, or lowered, too...somewhere. Call Danny Glover and Al Gore!

I guess I can feel safer using products advertised on Fox News and Rush for the next few years.
Naw...that is too much like old time Chicago politics!

I was going to write "So God could tell us apart." But this is close enough!
We should call it The Ministry of Sunshine.
This is news because???
a) We need more grant money.
b) Must raise taxes on 'carbon'.
c) Ice shelves do that.
d) All of the above.

~$2000 for a sweet Honda 5500 watt generator off of E-bay (but I had to go pick it up).
Smooth power, heat, hot water and HD TV during power outages....priceless.

They should have said "...give or take a couple of million years...". Sounds more cheeky.
