NASA has a small research project going looking at some fundamental aspects of a warp drive based on the theories of Miguel Alcubierre. Many people openly deride such an effort, others are merely skeptical, a smaller number curious, and even fewer cautiously optimistic.
Got to remember to screw in those to screws on either side of the connector. But if that rocket is like any of the PCs I've owned, there's never enough room to get your fingers in there to twist them.
Have you noticed that whenever something bad happens in America, to normal people, the next day or the same day, a letter with a "suspicious substance" is sent to a politician in D.C.?
They must have a special unit called "All About Us" that just sends these out as needed.
Don't think this is limited to the Corporate world.
Immigration reform advocates talk a good game of human rights and crap like that but what the really want is cheap labor to mop their office floors and pick their vegetables.
Bottom line is there are plenty of American Citizens that are willing to work all jobs. Anyone who says otherwise is actually saying that that there are Americans who won't work for less than minimum wage (Agricultural) so we should bring in these poor schmucks from other countries to do it in order that we can have cheap produce.
I find it ironic that people who are usually championing higher minimum wages are more than willing to let illegals work for less than that.
From another article linked in the original: --- Adam.S wrote: The F1 was unquestionably an amazing engine when it was built, but is the F1B the best engine that can be made of this scale today?

Response: Because the cost and effort to eke out few fractions more efficiency are far outweighed by the costs savings of being able to use a simple, cheap, well known and understood, yet highly effective booster that's just going to get dropped off the rocket 2 minutes into the flight anyways. The RD-25 (the Space Shuttle Main Engine) is probably still the most advanced, efficient, and reliable engine of it's size ever made (and possibly that will ever be made), but it's also massively expensive to produce and over engineered. Then again, it had to be because it needed to run continuously from the ground all the way to orbit, and on top of that it had to be throttleable and reusable.
I worked with a young lady who gleeful told me of going to school in Ithaca, New York and going to protest George H. Bush. She didn't even give me time to ask and went on to say they didn't know why, it was just the thing to do.
Tribalism. Face Painters, Homers, Fan Boys. All the same.
So my regular (snail) mail is kept in U.S. Post Office bins, trucks, planes, etc. during its transit to destination. Because it's "stored" on/in other people's equipment, it's fair game?

Where to do fall in this spectrum and why?

This guy has to be on the inside, at Slashdot Inc.
If you are going to outsource, do it and call it what it is.
Don't bring the outsourced workers here and pretend you are employing the domestic workforce.

unencumbered by wives, kids, and extended families
That pretty much describes "cheaper".
Meh...can't get Google at work. All I can do is Google the term and link the result.
Deal with the extra click.
... baby monitors and walkie-talkies can pick up interference and other communication...
Even Aliens!
Hell, AT&T is crushed when I try to download pr0n over DSL.
Steaming pile of crap is what AT&T is.
That's pretty much the definition of "jammed".
Seem you are the one who failed with your inane speculation.
A Saudi National has been detained. Mostly because he seems to have blown himself up.
Just a bit of advice...if the idiots are agreeing with you, it's time to reassess your position.
A Saudi National
A Saudi National
That being said -- if this isn't an accident -- there are so many ways to go with this one.
Depends on what you think you were being clear on.
Stupefying. Just a brilliant display of ignorance and...can't even call it partisanship. Hate is a better word for your post (probably you too).
Go back to the Dem Underground/Daily KOS.

Actually, it seems they are trying to get parents on welfare to give a shit about their kids. Something that decidedly is not happening now.
Ad before you even start, just ask any teacher what the biggest problem is at low income school...lack of parental involvement.
And here is a classic example of tribalism.

Speaking of Fan Boys and Homers...
If we had a Swedish Bikini Team, we'd be more civil also.
It's no different than Fan Boys of Microsoft or Apple.
Nice...:-)
If Kim had a shotgun and behaved like this in L.A., LAPD would have plugged him about 40 times by now.
