Dry paddy rice culture is actually more productive per acre, though I've misplaced the study. The water was traditionally added as a way of protecting the young rice plants from predation by insects and wild animals, but while the plants can survive being flooded they don't really thrive. There are some methods to train chickens not to scratch up the rice stalks and then you can use your trained chickens to eat the insects as well as set up an alarm when grazers approach the paddy.
Because you can call the phone company and have a block placed on your account to prevent calls to 900 numbers from your number being completed. They're trying to reach an untapped market of frustrated married men with suspicious wives and no cell phones, I guess.
Personally I find it to be the other way around- I don't like the slack-jawed, dazed fool I become when there's a TV in the room anywhere I can see it, which is why I try to avoid patronizing businesses that have them. Only hearing it is (usually) no worse than listening to any other inane conversation.
Do you really think any corporation in this country is going to, out of the goodness of their hearts, start handing the employees the amount of money they are currently spending on health insurance premiums as a spontaneous pay raise? hahahahaha... that's a good one, go on, tell us another.
Hmm. Using the fighter jet to take out clumps of corrupt African officials may be the single best piece of charity Sergei and Brin could ever offer them, as at least them the money us regular folks send over might have a chance of actually reaching the citizens and being used for its intended purposes.:-)
It was set up on Amazon's Mechanical Turk page, though when I went to my bookmark last Thursday I got a page does not exist error. I haven't bothered to try navigating back to it from Amazon's front page.
Honestly, is that the best you can come up with Mr. Coward? I do actually eat plenty of eggs, I just buy them from a local farmer who pastures his chickens- and my favorite charity, to which I have set up an automated monthly donation, is Heifer International. So you see, I am putting my money where my mouth is, supporting my local community, AND helping the less fortunate. Awareness of suffering, both human and animal, is the first step to alleviating that suffering. The battery farms maintain the security of their income through the obscurity of their practices, something I thought a Slashdotter would reject.
I suppose being crowded six hens to a 2 foot square cage in a barely lit warehouse with almost no ventilation and a slanted mesh floor, stacked six layers deep for five months, is slightly better than being in a crowd of 10,000 in 8000 square feet for the whole six weeks of your life. Maybe.
There's a car in Pike Country, Kentucky that actually has Goatse as the personalized plate. I saw it here in Lexington- I'm assuming a college student, but who knows. I have never before actually considered reporting a personalized plate for vulgarity, but I was so distraught that I missed my turn and had to go around the block because of it. Horrifying, I tell you.
I'd be shocked even if they ARE the tiniest of startups. I worked for a pharma startup right out of college and we had 8 employees, 4 of whom were techs. We had annual FDA-style audits and cGMP training performed by our external auditor contractor.
Personally, I protest weekly in my town.. but when will we get riots in the streets.. the ones you'd expect from those good ol' freedom loving Americans?
Not so applicable to riots, but to revolutions- I'm waiting for the right charismatic leader. It doesn't matter how many of us there are that feel that way, it'll go nowhere fast if there's no one to focus the energy and disseminate plans, to give interviews and offer themselves as the sacrifice. Actually we're going to need five or six of them, because the first few will be assassinated and we all know it. It's not me, I don't have the voice or the skill at inspirational speechmaking. If it was, I'd be out there since I have no dependents and I know my family would understand.
IR is between heat and red light. You're not going to physically toast your eyes looking at few dozen IR LEDs, unless you've got them stuck up under your eyelids..
It's really short and rather interesting. Just put it someplace you have to spend a few minutes each day (on top of the microwave, maybe) and you'll be through it in at most two weeks. Alternately set aside three to six hours and just go through it straight.
In particular, McCaffrey's Dragonsdawn even has a little bit of science in it! A smattering of biomed, genetic engineering, some light AI, space navigation and terminology (this is where I discovered Oort clouds), a tiny bit of geology and botany. It's fun, and the psionics comes in late enough that you can ignore it if you want.
they give them "money for the poor" with the condition of investing in birth control (because we can't have poor people have many kids, think of the poor single mothers with 10 children!).
You sound like a pro-lifer who has been out of touch with this issue since the nineties. The US president has for the past eight years ignored Congressional demands and international treaty obligations to provide the US share of funding for UNFPA, solely because that organization educates women receiving its aid as to ALL of their reproductive health options. UNFPA, oddly enough, also acts a conduit for money to provide education and economic opportunities for the women receiving their aid: the single most effective way known to mankind to improve the overall economic status of poverty-stricken groups.

Exercise your right to not listen, rather than try to limit what I'm saying.
I think that's what the GP was saying:
So sure, say what you like, but don't expect it to get you anywhere unless there's a modicum of thought behind your words.

I wrote in CowboyNeal as my choice for school board member year before last. He had to be better than the idiots who were running.

Have you ever BEEN to Virginia? Hell yeah they think their shit doesn't stink...

You managed Byzantium and Renaissance, but missed on philosophers and testament? What's up with that? :-)

Of course. It's a flat beautiful plane, why screw up the symmetry when a little bit of paint will keep it sleek looking?

The relative frequency of cars and deer depends entirely on the areas in which you drive.
PPMO?
I think it's supposed to be a hand with middle finger extended, but it's not a very good one.

Maybe they meant it as 'you R not me'. Still very lame.
