Mmmm... this site breaks all the above rules that are mostly hangovers from various Clinton era executive orders and laws (Cookies, PRA and PIA).
Many US government executive branch webmasters have been wanting to break these rules/laws for years. Several press reports seem to suggest this sort of web 2.0 type interactivity will be transferred to whitehouse.gov.
So I wonder who will win, the career OMB lawyers or a new administration.
Oh, boy, will this be fun to watch.
lets see, as your big brother, we'll borrow more from a country that wants to own us, tax the middle class further into poverty (how quick everyone forgets that Clinton ran on cutting taxes, but ended up raising them on the middle class), continue to ship more of our money to guys who want to kill us (that includes you, BTW) in the interest of keeping our backyard clean, further dumb down the education of our youth though unionized public schools, impose restrictions on speech, murder millions of more children, remove secret ballots in union elections, destroy the best health care system in the world along with much of the best medical research in the world, and forcefully disarm the population from ever being able to revolt again.
Yeah. Change. If I were you, I would disown this big brother and consider building a fence.
I ponder if/. will cover the return of the fairness doctrine 1-3 years from now, or will it wait until term 2 when it is amended through net neutrality "needs" to impact this very discussion?
The old boy repub's in AK have no love for her.
She was in a catch 22 on this anyway. About now the drive by media and liberal./'ers would be raking her over the coals if she HADN'T taken any action against a state trooper who had tazed her 10 year step son.
Screwed either way.
After all, we DO all remember the pols who tazed that guy at a Kerry speech and how horrible, awful and hitler youth it was, right? And that was just a college age jerk.
My understanding is they use a radar from the plane to sync up terrain and building profiles with GPS data before dropping the JDAM in order better ensure they are hitting the correct building/trench/etc. They've been using radar to profile ground targets since WWII.
Do we really know that N. Korean nuke plant in Syria wasn't REALLY knocked out by a B-2? Little doubt the Israelis would be more than willing to take the international heat for that attack without actually having to risk aircrew while the USAF does the deed with little or no risk.
Might even be a working model for dealing with Iran. All of a sudden, this "1980s" platform designed for attacking the Soviets provides some interesting options in today's complex environment.
I know someone who was involved in the integration of the electrical systems on the B-2a's. The level of testing he has described is impressive. Not only do they do the normal flight testing, but also extensive testing to ensure any one system doesn't create any "noise" that would allow the plane to be detected. That fibre-channel drive can't emit any RF.
And that's just the beginning; as they found out in testing in early flight tests, sometimes quiet electronic packages when combined into the system created RF noise, so components have to be tested many times to eliminate bad signals.
But I still haven't figured out or seen anyone explain how that aircraft can use radar to detect a ground target, but not be detected as source.
About time! Yeah! Efforts first started early 1990's to replace and retire these expensive, wasteful dogs.
Who else would try to build a "truck" that needs to run at 100+ percent of it's original design specs every time you need to drive it. Even the Soviets had enough sense to give the concept up.
Kudos to Mike G. for really getting this started and truly starting the rebirth of NASA as an exploratory agency and not a trucking company.
Gads you all over engineer this. Pick up some disinfectant "wipes" at a grocery store. They work great on keyboards and mice (door handles, steering wheels, TV remotes, gameboys, etc, as well). Cleans up dirt at the same time. When you grow up and have young kids, you'll want to wipe down the keyboard/mice of the family box all the time anyway, specially during flu season.
Mmmmm... A State controlled "free" health care system based on State mandated theft of wealth from others, called by some universal heath care. Yeah, I'll consider that a form of communism, you can call it anything you want. Still waiting for someone to name of the article in the Bill of Rights that promises free health care.
See what you can achieve if you don't go around wasting your budget on invasions to satisfy someones cracked idea of a new American century?
You actually think the Dems would have not spent the money to further make their supporters dependent on government services in order to ensure their personal power and status?
Unless a political need need for space travel comes along, it will always play 3rd, 4th, 5th fiddle to defense, war on poverty, "universal" (communist) health care, transportation, etc. ISS only flew as a contractor support program.
Ha ha! Of course Martin needs to cheat to win MD for Hillary next month in order to have a crack at being a running mate. As for the general election, you don't need to worry; the Dem's have already gerrymandered the process to ever prevent a Rep majority in that state; no cracked machines needed.
If you are serious, get on a plane and take your stuff to Hawaii. From WV, even if it is above the horizon, you'll be looking through so much of Earth's atmosphere you won't see any detail on the surface of Mars anyway. From Hawaii, however, the red planet will be nice and high in the sky. Assuming something happens and the 96% chance that it won't occur are beaten, and it's clear, the package of scopes on Mauna Kea will be very nicely placed.
From the interview, it seems to me she knew the facts all along and perhaps even understood them way back, but it took the "threat" of global warming to allow her to release the emotion that clouded her judgment.
"We are starting to see that dogs have some good reasoning abilities," says Range."
Little surprise to anyone who has trained dogs, specially retrievers. They have very good sight recall and of course even better smell recall/use.
Retriever hunt tests test a dog's sight memory. With no training, many dogs will reason their way to a fallen bird by going around areas of tall grass, brush, etc. Silly humans, though, then train and grade them on their ability to blindly push their way through these things in order to keep a straight line.
I once knew a Golden Retriever who had hay fever. Put him in the field and let him see a duck get shot. He'd run after the duck, and as he got closer, as all duck dogs tend to do, would start use his nose more then his eyes. After a couple of minutes, he'd come up sneezing and sneezing and never would find that duck.
Yep. Turn off part of the sense of smell, and critters might lose an instinct or two.

I nominate seven random slashdotters. Rotate them every 12 months. But what level of Karma?
Yeah. Change. If I were you, I would disown this big brother and consider building a fence.
congrats on seeing through all the mudslinging and dirty politics that was employed by a party
As if the Obama/Dem's didn't sling any mud? Oh, that's right, the drive by/world media never covered that mud, only Republican mud.
I ponder if /. will cover the return of the fairness doctrine 1-3 years from now, or will it wait until term 2 when it is amended through net neutrality "needs" to impact this very discussion?
Purple ink helps. Quite simple. Works elsewhere, but clearly too good for US elections.

So that's it... Sol is a girl! Must have been old Jove, the sly dog.
Lightening storm, silly. Not unless it caused the dry lightening storm about a month ago that sparked most of the fires.
And another thank you!

Don't worry, be happy. He'll flip flop on this as well.

Sure they have, they've spent our money for nothing.

Here and here as well, when it comes to having a card to deplete at will! :-)
