And, frankly, trickle-down has been proven wrong over and over.
The rich, if less is taken in the form of taxes, are *not* going to use it to create jobs. They are more than likely going to put it into savings/investments,...
Go on, you're almost there on the completed thought but you stopped short. Let me help you, what and where do those savings and investments go? Follow the trail...
"What specifically caused life to begin on Earth remains a mystery. Professor Pizzarello hypothesises material from a meteor may have interacted with environments on Earth such as volcanoes or tidal pools, but says all remains a matter of guess work."
I think that, at least for the average user in their day-to-day tasks, five or six year old computers still perform adequately, and people really have no reason to upgrade. My uncle has an eight year old IBM ThinkPad which he still uses as his primary computer, and it runs Windows XP, Outlook Express and Office 2003 just fine - and that's all he needs. Given, it's more or less approaching the end of its life, the battery doesn't hold a charge and the HDD is as slow as a dog, but having seen his friends' bad experiences with new hardware and the bloated mess that was Vista, he's reluctant to upgrade.
And that bloat I think is causing a lot of this. New hardware isn't much faster than the old if it's dragged down by a bloated OS. And I think it's fair to say that most of these new 'features' aren't really necessary at all, so people don't see a need to upgrade. Why do you think XP still has such a large market share? Because people already have it, it does what they need it to, and there's no real need for them to upgrade.
He must work for the same large company I do. Those specs are pretty much what I'm using right now. Sure you *can* get work done but I'd be much more efficient with more modern hard/soft-ware.
Depends on the pricing structure. Many companies have the extra line (phone) only an additional $9. It takes two of those around here to equal what a land line would cost you.
Also, do you pay for cable though? Well if you do, you pay more per month than I pay in 10 years!
Same around here, antenna gets you quite a bit as well as the aforementioned music video channels (rock & country). The music channels are just like MTV when they were young, nothing but videos. PBS has tons of good shows and combine them with the iOn channel for kids and there is no need for cable. Using Netflix and PlayOn/pcDVR, I've got all the entertainment I need.
Surely there's a progressive plan in place to test it out in low earth orbit before launching to L2? Make sure it works before sending it beyond our reach.
Seems a bit of extra time and effort on that part would be good insurance on a $6B project.
Maybe we should start watching those networks a little bit and seeing what their news coverage is like.
Why don't we watch all of them and judge them fairly against each other? Or do you just want scrutiny only on the networks you're not on?
I'm guessing the amount of comparison news channel watching that you've done is quite small and instead rely on 2nd or 3rd hand accounts, clips, and out of context soundbites to solidify your preconceived notions...just like the other side does.
You do realize those military bases will just be moved elsewhere? So you then add the cost of movement to the bill. And last I checked, TX is a revenue producing state for the federal government, meaning they don't receive as much federal funding as they give. Face it you just don't like TX .
Forfeiting my mod points but have to take issue with Engineering being at the top. In my undergrad work, the professors encouraged working together (just as you would in a workplace), knew there were old tests out there to study, and encouraged you to do so. Any other department would have looked at what we were doing as "cheating" but in engineering, it's not necessarily the memorized "right answer" the teacher is looking for, it's the concepts hence the reason to show your work which usually accounted for 75% of the test.
Then you should argue from the evidence, not the authority. By relying on the "plausible" part of his statement, it's only arguing from authority. I'm nitpicking for sure but wanted to state a valid point.
Why stop there? Why not seed blogs, twitter and facebook and initiate a misinformation campaign?
You mean like the news story I saw Sunday morning interviewing a "protester" that said (paraphrase) We Need you Obama, do something, people are dying!. This is from an "Egyptian" in the square no less.
Who gets to determine what is "plausible", especially if that something hasn't been observed either directly or indirectly? Because then you're just back to the argument from authority fallacy.
I gave up when we declared catsup to be a vegetable. Now we have commercials proudly saying that manwhiches (tm) contain two servings of veggies.
It's a vegetable in the same way a can of crushed tomatoes is a vegetable. They are just crushed more and have a bit of sugar and other things added for flavor.

We should totally base our worldview around this.

NASCAR? NHL? See now you're just making justifications just like all those that purchase smartphones, just with different items.
Is this the same Russian Romanov that nuked Chicago and had that dreadnought fleet in that historical Red Alert 2? If so, I'm calling in Tanya.

At least in my book, it went to Linux Mint. http://www.linuxmint.com/

I always enjoyed the Homeworld soundtrack. In fact they did too as it came as it's own regular CD in the box.
But, I'm quite sure that a mile of concrete will be sufficient to shield all our little eggs and sperms from interstellar radiation.
Internet quarterbacks always amuse me.

Yeah, that. Plus it's like -200 degrees Celsius AND Fahrenheit AND Kelvin down there. No thank you.
Jennifer. But somehow it didn't match up with Alabama. Besides why is she reading my FB anyway? /tinfoil

Read the website? Or a multitude of different news websites. How is this even remotely worth a buck a week when everything else is free?
