Can you recommend a good hat manufacturer?
And do you think I should go with tin-foil or aluminum?
Are there substantial gains from using both in the same hat?
If so which format and orientation makes it harder for the liberal-media-communist-big brother-alien-welfare recipients to control my mind?
Well yes, yes you are.
1. The budget wasn't slashed a program was canceled. Total expenditures on NASA are up in the proposed budget.
2. Ares I wasn't sending a person into space until 2017 at the earliest, meaning this price increase was preordained when Bush decided to stop production on the SSLV.
3. The current contract structure encourages slow and wastefully spending by contractors. Complete 80% by targeted completion date and then ask the government for the necessary money to finish the work. The new contracts approach would play for product delivery, saving money in the long run.
So on behalf of those who will still need jobs in 20 years, I see this change as a wonderful improvement.
Its good to know the fair use defense was only 1 of 3 positions in the brief.
1. Fair Use
2. Unjustified use of settlement negotiations, resulting in a damaged jury
3. Excessive Fines
2 is big since it undermines both the truth of a 'fair trial' and is the source of the defendants 'admission.'
The Liam Hoekstra article makes it pretty clear that the kid has a very high metabolism. From an evolutionary stand point there is no reason that this would have evolved before these days of plenty. In the past any kid that needed this many calories would have died from starvation long before he got old enough to procreate. We're optimized for performance per calorie, but the calorie restriction has become a lot easier to meet recently.
I understand you're trying to be humorous. But on behalf of the 20 and 30 somethings of today, who already have to deal with your generation's messes. Fuck you.
The computer worked out the 2.5 trillionth digit of pi on a Euclidean surface. For those of us in the real world this level of accuracy is not only overkill, but its wrong. You will never live in a place where pi actually equals this number.
All of this is true, but makes a pretty big caveat to your initial statement. So more precisely, ad revenue alone doesn't work for this decent-sized service.

...but this is the same sort of poorly formed logic that leads people to conclude that we ought to legalized the possession of all forms of firearms.
Wait... you have the right to ban my firearms? I don't remember giving the government that power. As a point of fact I seem to remember specifically reserving that right for myself.
Remember it's the burden of proof of those that want legalization not those that view it as being harmful.
Fairly certain the burden of proof lies with those who wish to regulate. Prove that the substance is harmful in order to justify a government exercise of power. At least here in the States, that's the way its supposed to be.
which should be easy and which should be hard? well, various legal concepts are enshrined at various levels in our legal system and its history. for example, the set of laws concerning equality have been reaffirmed going back to reconstruction. it would take a lot more effort than one simple vote or law to overturn them
Try telling this to the 48% minority in California post Prop8. One single vote was used to eradicate a constitutionally (per CA Supreme Court) accepted right.
While I don't completely disagree with your post, I do disagree with the last line. Our rights are an incredibly fragile thing. Once you've allowed a right to be taken, it becomes exceedingly difficult to recover.
Even if I were the difference between the evolutionist camp and the creationist camp means jack shit in the real world. How about we leave that stupid little debate behind and work on the idea that we're graduating kids that can't balance a checkbook.
You really think these two things aren't related? There's a mode of thought that says numbers and science aren't important. Teaching creationism in science classrooms is to cave to this mode of thought. So, yes... critical thinking and basic mathematics are instrumental in improving the way this country works.
Spoofing someones phone number seems less financially destructive than stealing their SSN or credit card numbers, but wouldn't this still qualify as stealing someone's unique, identifying number? And if it leads to death threats and harassment of an innocent citizen, I would think this would be the thing we actually have law enforcement for.

Posting to undo accidental moderation.
Yes I have already been saved; both early and often.

Thank you for that. Pure awesomeness.
Everyone knows that a small thermal exhaust port at the end of a long trench is the key to initiating a catastrophic cascading failure.

That's what I said.
Wait, someone's actually seen Superman 3?
Why does this make me think of Superman 3?

Yeah! Like .... radio, and network television, and google... and.
Breaking a law can be freedom. Breaking all laws would be anarchy.
Seems like parent was suggesting the former option.
Why does one never have Mod points when one really needs them?

Please mod parent up. Reading comprehension is really a lost art.
