Let's ignore for the moment that this is deficit spending, so no one's taxes will be raised.
So that borrowed money will never have to be repaid then? Or maybe someone's taxes will be raised, just not now. Stick the kids with the cost, it's the American way I guess.
Thermodynamics is irrelevant, since it's not energy you are reclaiming but the mass of whatever material you are recycling. Sure if it takes more energy than say the solar cell will produce in its lifetime you run into a problem, but chances are it won't.
Of course you will lose some of the material due to corrosion/chips (even on the scale of atoms) falling off/etc, but that is likely a very small amount, possibly meteors replenish that much:)
Of course the author may have just been making a pun. Clearly an organized crime, so "mob".The thing that makes it news is the timing of a large number of transactions. "flash mob" is a well enough known term, so "pun pun pun" goes off in the authors brain.
Would be a strange thing to do. I know righties who use their mouse with their left hand, but there's some benefits to that that lefties get "for free" using the more standard setup.

Because no one ever downloads things on their work machine and takes them home to their own machine on a ucb thumb drive thing. Or have network issues and want to download something on their laptop and copy it to their desktop machine (say the router died and they have a cell phone network internet pc card on their laptop). Or just plain old happen to be using the XP machine to download something they are going to run on the 3 vista machines.
No much better that the web site checks and doesn't let you download the file you know you want.
This is one of the most retarded "articles" I've seen on slashdot, and obviously that is saying a lot.
Notice that in America setting the yellow times to bellow the legal requirements causes some headache since they get challenged and have to, shock horror, refund some fines.
In Italy the police investigate and someone is under arrest while they keep investigating some more.
Seriously, you know your legal/police system is a joke, when Italy beats you in "rule of law" matters.
No it's more dangerous because people over compensate for the yellow they've seen be shorter and the camera they know is there.
And hence they slam on the brakes when it isn't in fact safe to do so, and the guy behind rear ends them.
Yes that is entirely the fault of the guy behind following too close (plus assuming the other guy would go through the yellow because he clearly would have to jam on the brakes to stop in time, which isn't what you are supposed to do since it's "too close to stop safely" - which is still the guy behinds fault since he rear ended someone who wasn't driving backwards).
Short yellows and red light camera's increase the number of rear end collisions at intersections. Of course trading more read end collisions for fewer t-bone collisions is usually a reasonable trade off. Shortening the yellow is clearly just revenue raising, and will increase the number of collisions with I would expect no significant reduction in the number of "ran red light collisions" over just adding the red light camera.
So your saying Iran is even more like North Korea?
They're just covering all the bases.
I guess the only thing left is to position enough conventional artillery to flatten Tel Aviv within an hour. Though given the distance conventional artillery isn't really going to be good enough.
Though I guess Abu Musa might count as an invasion, though that'd be stretching things.
Well more than that, there was some magic already applied to the windows machine, but that undermines my post completely so best forget I mentioned it.
Secret voting means you can't connect a vote to a voter. In your case someone who gets your receipt, say your boss or union rep who demands everyone hand them over after the election, can determine who you voted for.
-50000 is not going to make me insolvent. And in such a case you could always find a lawyer willing to take it on contigency - especially if he gets half the winnings, so your stuck with "only" $1000000.
Obviously you check such accounts when someone leaves - in fact you probably have notification of changes made to them so you can catch idiots before it's too late.
If you leave them with access after they have left, then they can add such things after you have done that check.
You aren't really trying to stop the paranoid sociopaths who set things to run when they first start and reset them each month so that when they aren't there to do the reset everything blows up. You are trying to stop the people who get vindictive after they are sacked.
Yes, but biological processes are a tad different than just burning it.
And no fire does not use nutrients. Well OK, not as I was using the term, micro nutrients would be more correct but when comparing with burning stuff I thought that was obvious. The other things in meat (and plant matter, and dirt for that matter) like minerals and vitamins that don't contribute to energy but are a necessary part of surviving. When you burn something you don't give a shit if it has iron or calcium in it.
When wood is available I don't know of any human culture that burned animals for heat. I'm thinking because it's easier to just collect some wood.
Meat is a much better food source, pound for pound than plants. I doubt it's a better fuel source source for a fire though - well fat would be good, then again eucalyptus leaves would be too.

I think it's more a case of:
If you would refuse to give information to the authorities who have "a habit of torturing and murdering detainees, or of having them 'disappear'" then feel free to criticize away. If you would though, then lets not be hypocrites.
I don't think getting a public figure's name right in an article actually counts as "investigative".
Windows XP and Vista and 7 of 9 or whatever the new one is to be called. What more do you blood suckers want?

By your stats 3% of specialists and 18% of scientists in general do not agree (or have no opinion) with anthropomorphic climate change.
hence the statement "scientists are agreed" is not true, assuming the statement is meaning "all scientists" as opposed to "most scientists".
Just like you can't say "scientists are agreed" that people evolved in Africa since they don't all agree.
I guess you could say "all non-idiot scientists agree".
Of course the author may have just been making a pun. Clearly an organized crime, so "mob".The thing that makes it news is the timing of a large number of transactions. "flash mob" is a well enough known term, so "pun pun pun" goes off in the authors brain.

Of course their methodology was crap...

They switched from preprocessed nutrients directly from the blood of the mother to formula.
They really don't have much an option to switch, seeing the placenta detaches all by itself.

Yes, because there was not a single extinction before humans came along.
Every creature that has previously still existed, none had been out competed by other species and died out.
For god sake, every single time.

0.25 * -50000 + 0.75 * 1900000 > 50000
So if the remaining 75% was the all getting the 2 million, that's a bet I'd take. But I'm a gambler.
Surely some lawyer would take $X if you win (where X is much larger than 100000, or a percentage like 20% of the final payout) and $0 if you lose.
