It's the thing on top of the attic of the world. The attic is the place in your parents' house where you live, if your other brother is already living in the basement. The basement is underneath the attic, but there is some stuff in between.
'Even though $100 million a year is small change by federal government standards,'
That much should not be considered a small chunk of change.
Question: "How does a country build a debt of $16 trillion . . . ?"
Answer: "One $100 million at a time . .."
Maybe the US should adopt the European model? When one of the southern countries gets in debt over their heads . . . they just get Germany to pay for it.
My company's "good guys" run security tests once a week. They send me a report afterwards, listing any "findings". And, most importantly, I was informed by them beforehand, that they would be doing these tests.
If you weren't informed about it, how are you supposed to know that they are the good guys . . . ?
they didn't pay enough attention to keeping people from getting in!
. . . they just couldn't fathom the idea why anyone would want to get in . . .
The hackers involve could have ended the current escalation. All they need to do, was to post this headline:
"The fearless leader Kim Jong Un has declared victory over the US! The leader's strong courage has frightened the US! They have halted their plans to attack the Peoples' Republic! The war with the US is over! They won't attack tomorrow, or the day after, etc."
Kim Jong Un might have like the idea, and adopted it as his own dogma. Thus, giving him a way out without anyone getting hurt.
I am very sure 1 chinese critic or indian critic will take his spot away easily.
. . . beautiful idea for a Saturday Night Live Sketch, with the Chinese critic and the Indian critic playing Siskel & Ebert . . .
Chinese Critic: "There was just too much missing from this plot. Take the hero, for example. His father didn't get killed by an evil tyrant. His son, our hero, didn't swear revenge against the evil tyrant. He didn't go to the Shaolin temple to learn Kung Fu. The Master there didn't tell him to learn sweeping the courtyard before learning Kung Fu. Just nothing of a plot was there."
Indian Critic: "I was waiting the whole time for half the state of Uttar Pradesh to sing and dance, but that scene never came. That bit with the Munchkins Ding Donging it was kinda sorta ok . . . but it just lacked the full gala of a real film."
Chinese Critic: "Yes, there is no reason for further discussing it . . . it is quite seldom that we agree, but we unanimously give two thumbs down to this 'Wizard of Oz' work . . . lest I dare call it a film."
Both Siskel and Ebert were good-humored enough to laugh at parodies of themselves.
9/11 was the final battle against the terrorists. The terrorists won.
Actually, I think it was the shoe and underwear bombers who sealed the victory of fear. Now every personal item that you dare to take with you on a plane is evaluated as to its weapon potential. Case in point, a colleague of mine got questioned at the Frankfurt airport about his Kensington lock for his SchtinkPad. The reason? He might be able to use it to strangle someone.
Soon we won't be allowed to take anything on a plane, including clothing: we will be flying buck naked . . . without any luggage. As to sick folks in wheelchairs? They will be banned altogether. I dream of a US administration that would have the wisdom to hire Bruce Schneier as a security advisor.
I have never had any problems with the TSA myself, although they have every reason to grill me. I have a US passport issued in a foreign country, and plenty of stamps that could raise alarms. I just always answer the question succinctly and politely, and then they are satisfied. As much as I disagree with the whole TSA shenanigans, the place to debate their policies is not in the security line. If you start arguing with them about your constitutional rights, you will just hold up yourself and the rest of the line.
Unfortunately, as long as this fear is there, the US government is not going to overhaul the TSA:
"Argh, Matey's! Thirty days at sea, and not a wench to be seen!"
"Grease up the monkey!"
Because the Bounty was the victim of Pirates after the cargo of Bitcoins bound for North Korea's Fearless Leader Kim Chi, to fund his Cyber-War against Facebook on his Nokia Windows 8 Phone over Spamhaus DDOSing his Laser Fusion project to power Egypt's Internet Cable used to transfer Google Patents for banning Amazon meat . . . ("huh, huh . . . he said 'meat'") . . . , which is causing IT Admin Stress, to which Fearless Leader Obama answered, "I fart on North Korea's puny war plans. So thin are they, that I dare not wipe my ass with them, lest my fingers shall be soiled!", which further . . .
Partly a bias the name of which I forgot, in which you require extraordinary amounts of proof against a member from your own group compared to what you'd require against someone from another group
Thanks for the invitation to the Devil's Advocates' Grand Ball, I'll play along, too. Maybe this is also illegal drug related? Most licensed clubs will kick out drug dealers, for fear of losing their license. At an unlicensed party somewhere, anything goes. Add in some minor altercations that escalate into gang brawls (Mr. Brown, Mr. Drake?), and maybe the cops have a good reason to know where these parties are going on.
Of course, another explanation is that the police are just emulating the methods they see used by the police on TV? On CSI, NCIS, et al the cops always solve the crimes using computers and abstruse knowledge.
"Miss Bigtits, you said you were sleeping in a hotel in Beacon Hill the night of the murder. Well Google told me that the hotel beds there are invested with bedbugs that only feast on female breasts. So, if you would kindly remove you shirt and bra, we can clear this up quickly."

Wow! So Kim would be in rehab with Lindsay Lohan . . . !?!?!
Now that is one reality show I would watch!
I think an Islamic 3D Earth is a great idea! The big difficulty in the plan will be convincing the Islamic folks to go live there . . .

Distraction technology has advanced faster than the skill of drivers to deal with all of it at the same time.
So is that what we need to do to smoke them Mars critters and varmints out . . . ?
And maybe some natural gas, on the side, to power our Mars colonies . . . ?

No problem . . . Bloomberg will just outlaw large crab portions. It will help the poor people from eating too much, or something like that.
End of problem. Now about that foot long hot dog that you are eating . . . nine inches should be the limit . . .
yes, because in a country of 24+ million it is impossible to find a body double
Kim Jong Un is a fat boy. Fat folks are in short supply in North Korea.

Well, if they are laying off 75% of their workers, I guess they don't consider them part of the "core assets."
Whatever happened to companies that loudly proclaimed, "The most important assets we have . . . are our employees!" . . . ?
. . . and actually meant what they said . . .

I think this is best explained with a computer analogy, using the concepts of real and virtual:
If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
If it's not there, but you can see it, it's virtual.
If it's there, but you can't see it, it's Dark Matter.
If it's not there, and you can't see it, it's gone.

There is enough accessible Thorium and Uranium to power our civilisation at current levels until the sun kills the earth.
Unfortunately, our civilization will kill itself before we start using that Thorium and Uranium.
The biggest problems with nuclear energy aren't engineering and technology . . . they are political.

Yeah, they said:

But plinking hard drives is more fun. Good, wholesome, family fun.
