Since JJ is in charge, it will be one big car chase. No thanks. Buster Keaton and WC Fields originated the car chase, but it should have ended there, but it lives on, but now the car chases are in space
>it then offers possible actions (more money, new job)
Most companies would just preemptively fire the employee. Out of spite...? Something like that...
Ada was a great language but the college douchebags hated it because it was designed by the DoD. There excuse was that it was too complicated to write a compiler for. So the college pukes kept using C and kept overwriting their stacks and heaps and reveling in the "flexibility" and freedom of their language. Then along came C+ which was truly impossible to compile and these idiots jumped right on that road to perdition.
It has snob appeal for the uber geeks but the language sucks in so many ways.
It killed Netscape 6.0 and that should have been the last of the language but it still lives, alas...
But the hype has been generated by the State-run Media, i.e. CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN. Sure the other side (Drudge, Fox) is all hysterical, but it was the State-run Media that has caused the most panic and they did not need to say much, just that some simple facts and the public got very nervous.
The fact that the Administration seems has issued a non-nonsensical justification for not shutting the borders from West Africans does not help or that they appointed an invisible political hack to be the Ebola Czar and the CDC does not seem to have its act together has fueled the fire.
How about the passport? No matter how they try to get here, they still have to present that Liberian password at the border....sorry buddy...
Sure the really, really determined could get in, but 99% would be stopped.
If this was any other place except Africa then they politically correct crap would not be taking place. If, say, Ebola was rampant in Tonga, travel restriction would have be implemented long ago. The Administration is playing with out health for political reasons.....
The Asteroid re-direct mission is a pork mission to push money for more pointless manned missions. Binzel is 100% correct; the money would be much better spent on robotic missions, but, alas, NASA is run by pilots and beholden to the manned mission lobby.
Why are scientists obsessed with finding the most exotic explanation of Dark Matter without first exhausting the more prosaic explanations? It is Occam's Razor upside down.
I think that the reason is there there is a Nobel Prize and fame if Dark Matter turns out to be a particle, but there is no glory if it turns out to be something more ordinary such as neutral hydrogen, dust, etc. Even a modification of Newtonian laws at a distance to explain Dark Matter is not exotic enough.....so we have to endure Crackpot Cosmology Theory (CCT) of the week from here to eternity...
Pork, pork, pork
All this could be done for 10th or 100th the cost with a robotic mission.
This is all about directing pork to congressional districts, but science.

What did we give China for this worthless agreement? Preferential trade and tariff concession I have to assume.
So this is what you get when you threaten the Hollywood Moguls that control the government....welcome to 1984

I have personally had problems with Home Depot's quality I shop at the local hardware stores instead

In the old day, the residents were know as "Baked Beans" while British naval officers were known as "Roast Beefs".

It must be nice to have the State-run Media on you side
Hey, I only use the MOST reliable sources such as the National Enquirer (Ha): http://www.nationalenquirer.co...

Or it gets worse. It is entirely possible that the Administration is hiding cases of Ebola until after the election.

until after the election. The Administration is trying to keep a lid on it, but watch out after the election
Idiotic, politically-correct statement from them. How would preventing Africans from coming to the US make the outbreak worse?

Travel restrictions are epidemiology 101, but politics gets in the way...
Good luck with that reifman...

It is part of the Obamcare package..[M. Savage] So did it really cost $500,000 to treat Patient 0?
And the term "Good" lawyer is an oxymoron.
Why?
Pork, pork, pork All this could be done for 10th or 100th the cost with a robotic mission. This is all about directing pork to congressional districts, but science.
Too bad. It was the most terse language ever created.
