I'm fairly certain that if they do come to destroy us Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, "Ahhnold," Tommy Lee Jones and Sigourney Weaver have got us covered. (Mostly Will Smith)
I'm obviously not going to RTFA so I'll just blindly ask instead. How are these rats being kept awake? It seems to me that you're not going to be able to ask these rats to voluntarily attempt to stay awake as long as possible. I would wager that the stressful conditions used to prevent sleep are probably just as much to blame as the lack of sleep itself for the untimely death of the test subjects.
There was simply too many scenes with only "talking" in it. Of course, as an adult, those scenes were necessary to develop the characters and move the plot, but to a kid, it's just "wah wah wahwah wah."
I agree. Let's shield the children from any sort of challenge. That way they know nothing and won't ever ask us embarrassing questions that might be a challenge for us to answer in an adult manner.
I just want to clarify on breath test refusals. The law is on a per state basis but I imagine it is very close or similar to my state where I recently refused a test.
The possession of a driver's license requires that you are willing to submit to a chemical test. Refusing to submit to the test results in the administrative act of your license being revoked. This is completely separate from the criminal DUI case. Therefore even if you are found innocent of DUI you will still have lost your license. You can fight this administrative revocation but you'll have to prove that the officer was not in his right to originally pull you over. This is a very difficult task because all the cop has to say is, "Oh, he swerved a little." I think that you'll be hard pressed to prove that you didn't swerve at all.
That may seem like a CH shade of meaning away from "admission of guilt" but really it's a separate offense that you're pretty much automatically guilty of.
Standard disclaimer: IANAL (But I've spent a lot of time talking to one recently)
Based on these being assessed as mostly harmless; my guess is that this encompasses something that the company regards as a possible trade secret that they don't want out. These secrets have to be protected well for them to hold that status in any legal scenario.
I think the difference is that being a straight male I can easily say to a relative stranger, "Well the other day my girlfriend and I were walking through the park..." and no one bats and eye. But if a lesbian says the exact same thing they tend to get "WTF I don't want to hear about your sexual orientationLOL I don't the gays but keep it to yourself." In that case you might as well provoke people with your sexual orientation up front to weed out the assholes quickly and move on to friends that are more accepting.
Hmm, I think we should give corporations the right to vote but remove their ability to lobby in any official capacity. If I have use a crappy form on a website to send an email to my senator's intern then so should they.
I'm just going to throw out some conjecture here. How much of the cost of a nuclear fission plant is in jumping through environmental hoops. I'm sure that proper handling and storage is a huge deal for current generation fission plants. How much of that cost could be saved by a nearly waste free system?
So it seems that most of us agree that this bill is bad BS. Is anyone going to do something about it other than complain in a discussion thread on a website that our congress-people most likely don't read? I for one write letters when I hear about this stuff. Politicians feel that they are accurately representing their constituents when no one complains and they continue to be re-elected. Most senators/congress-people have websites with forms for sending them mail. It takes two minutes and every second is worth it. Empower yourself.
While still in high school I worked part time as a network admin for the school. We had just begun to incorporate a laptop program that started with the 6th graders. At time time our biggest trouble was students that bent the hell out of the wireless cards that stuck out of the side like a sore thumb. The reason that was the biggest problem was because our policy was one of educating the students about general best practices. If they came in with a trojan, adware, malware...whatever we just used ghost to set it up clean right away. The students lost all data important to them and gained in the lesson that we'd fix the computer but we're not going to hold your hand or save your data. Porn? not a problem on our network. We blocked what we expected and used a cron job to grep out any of a set of "naughty" words that came across the firewall. When any one user hit a certain threshold they were brought in for a "meeting". This was enough of a deterrent that by the end of the first month more teachers were brought in for meetings about acceptable network use than students. Even more surprising? It was an all boys school.
I would go that same route except I would recommend robotbattle http://www.robotbattle.com/ It probably bypasses more than a few real programming concepts but it is fun and can introduce kids to creating logical instructions for a machine. Plus, it's free.
In fact, it might be interesting to have a game in which part of the challenge is writing/obtaining the perfect set of mods to be able to cheat the best you can.
The only problem I have with your post is "Provide free high quality drugs...." I see no reason for anything to be free ever. There is always a string attached. If it was the government distributing these free drugs there would be at least two problems. 1) you/me/we would be paying for addict's free drugs when I'd much rather be paying for amenities of my own choice. 2) Take your soma ration: I don't trust any government chemical "enhancements"
Other than that legalize and regulate. That should keep the price low and the business out of the shadows....that is until the politicians decide they aren't making a big enough cut. But we have that problem with most any product that is bought and sold legally.
Well, I'll be damned... The road to hell IS paved with good intentions and in this case it's in the form of a placation. "Oh, right we don't even think it's a good idea we'll be on your side saying I toldja so." 10 years later the Aussies will be forwarding all "dissident" information to/dev/memoryhole
I only have one thing to say to this:
"snugglebunnies snugglebunnies snugglebunnies snugglebunnies snugglebunnies snugglebunnies snugglebunnies snugglebunnies snugglebunnies SNU..."..damn caps filter.... I found "Billy and the Boingers Bootleg" in my aunt's collection when I was a small kid. It was always entertaining and as an added bonus took on a whole new perspective to me when I was old enough to understand more of it.

Well you know what they say: "You can't have your Natalie Portman and eat her too..." ...or something like that.
Uhhh... how else are they going to install windows security updates. Duh.

...well only since that judge ruled that being poor was a mental illness. Seriously, why don't they just go buy more money?
Every episode of Mythbusters is an example of how you are correct.
I was talking about the cost of storage for waste. If there nearly no waste then there is nearly no cost of storing it.

Impedance matching? Is that something new?
No no, Mrs. Chumley, as I understand it that's something very old
