What the hell does your belief in an imaginary sadistic friend have to do with anything? Evolution is only incompatible (like many other things) with a literal interpretaiton of your collection of fables. There's no compelling reason you could not choose to believe that your diety was lazy but clever and so conceived of evolution as a simple mechanism to create variety, perhaps applying selective pressures here and there if you really are so arrogant as to believe you are his spitting image.
So you're a moron, but I repeat the obvious, what's the point? *Some* creationists violating copyright? It's implied, but in any event these are folks from the Discovery Institute arguably *the* creationists...
What about permafrost and seafloor methane hydrates? That's the real problem, and in both cases you ought to be able to at least meet the 60 degree criterion easily enough.
Re: 1st, we're not talking about time either. (You also assume that GDP is valid metric, which it is not)
Re: linearity If a country with 1/1000th the GDP of the US who wishes to have a space program tries spending 1/1000th of what the US does, it is unlikely to get much of anything useful, let alone 1/1000th as much ROI. *That* was the point. Some things have to be done big and require a certain minimum level of inputs e.g; aircraft carriers and major space exploration. Jeeps or sub-orbital thrill rides don't require as much, but you don't get as much either.
You're a moron and so are the two how +1'd you Insightful/Interesting. You've not said anything meaningful nor have you exhibited any clear understanding of neither what the original poster said nor reality as it exists.

I don't give a flying fuck if you think praying a dozen times a day is a "preqrequisite" of being muslim, clearly not everyone else agrees with you as there are secular muslims whom don't adopt such a strictly "constructionist" view. As it should be, to each his own. There are christians whom pray several times a day/week, and there are those whom are content to simply live by the saner/less imposing rules set out for them by their deity of choice.
You souldn't be prevented from worshiping whatever the fuck you want--be it frogs, Cthulu or Lucky Charms-- anywhere (including prison) as long as it does not infringe upon others. But you have *no* rights to have special accomodations made for you, *especially* in prison. The grandparent is not talking about spiking food with tasty SPAM, he's saying don't give them a fucking clock or try counter-programming "prayer time" with what little entertainment they might be offered. Leave the choice up to them.
Nobody said anything about making them go to confessional, take sacrament, or attend co-ed sermons so on how Earth would islamic captors forcing their prisoners to kneel and "meditate" umpteen times a day (not that there's much else you're likely to be able to do in a cell other than meditate, masturbate and jumping jacks) be comparable?
I had hoped Slashdot would still be populated by "geeks" whom could actually still use their brains.
Just the other day on some "crazy weapons show" on the History Channel they featured a Japanese death ray which was also demonstrated to have the same effect on automobiles at the time.
Umm no. the states don't pay the feds. Feds and states tax the people. Feds transfer some of their take to states for various things like Medicare, roads, etc. So how exactly are the states supposed to do anything here? Given their citizens permission to not pay federal taxes? Brilliant!
The ACLU would also be a reasonable forum given the whole perversion of public powers for private interests thing.
Me thinks some people in Washington need to go back to high school civics class and familiarize themselves with John Locke and the social contract. Hint: It does not say, "Bend me over and have your way with me."
How this got marked inisightful is beyond me; you've conflated many things. Not using toxics (Pb, etc.) in consumer products (for kids!) has nothing to do with slavery. Simply because we still conduct some/many practices detrimental to the environment, does not mean that our experiences and rationale against others is null and void.
The only reasonable crticism one can make are complaints by a developed nation about poor practices by a developing nation when the former still does the same. One might feel that it's hypocritical to say China ought not burn its coal to develop because we've discovered its bad, even though we're still doing it. On the other hand, we do not rely solely on it, and some might argue it is not unreasonable for us to warn them off paths that are difficult to shift from when there are other alternatives available. Yet it is certainly reasonable for us to point out the futility in deforesting a nation for fuel wood; see England, Rapa Nui.
You're taking too narrow a view. It doesn't matter which toxic susbtance it is, it's been clear for sometime that kids ingest everything; Pb painted party favors included. Therefore, one ought to be careful in what one uses in products for wee ones. Granted, this has yet to stop anyone from using bisphenol-A, but some would argue the jury is still out on that one.
To clarify, in this usage all three forms of punctuation are identical except in weight, which is a matter of personal style as there is no consistently assigned order of precedence. From most to least important clauses, I personally use comma, em dash and parentheses. Unfortunately, with some typefaces this does not match the visual effect since em dash can result in a major break of the line.
Actually no, that is but one use of the comma. Commas, like parentheses and em dash, may be used to set-off a clause. The precedeing sentence is an example of this. You can lift out everything between the commas and the sentence is still valid.

You (and many others) have negelcted to account for the hassle and energy of keeping the little bugger charged.
Actually, convention is that it is Perl when used in the context of other capitalized things like Java and C,
otherwise it's humble old perl.
You've also had far fewer hands mucking with his verbiage between his hand and your eyes.

You totally missed the point on both counts.

We're talking about the budget of a single country.
P.S. Your logic also assumes that things are linearlly scalable.

That was the sound of yet another missed launch (due to insufficient funding) zooming over your head.

Don't forget America's Test Kitchen on PBS.
The language lab (also formerly in 20 IIRC) is in 16 too.
CMRAE? They're high up in 16 near the other anthropologists who got booted from 20.
You may wish to familiarize yourself with the meaning of the comma :-P
