It's the direction that might make a difference. Unless you're driving a supercar (yes I realise that is the subject of the article) your windscreen is at a high enough angle that the air doesn't really sweep along it nicely. Also, with pressurised air you can push the air a lot faster than you're driving, 200 mph air when you're driving at 30 might actually keep your view pretty clear.
a) Yes, I think it is a fake b) He said "generally". Sure the occasional jet might land on the flying aircraft carrier (or whatever that thing was) but most of the time they land on the ground.

I think traffic models are more rigorous than you realise. Also, if TPTB thought that we could win a war with superstring theory it'd be solved next week.
You only think that the data sets were merged/normalised in arbitrary ways because you don't seem to understand statistics. I would be more than happy to help you: if you could send me some examples of data sets I can try to explain the techniques used.
Also: if you don't think we should do anything you are insane. I agree that at least to some extent we will need to adapt to the new climate rather than steadfastly trying to keep it how it is now, but if you don't mitigate it at all it'll go way beyond the point where it's possible to adapt.
Part of the propaganda is also to try and make the young people dissatisfied with the state of their country. Whenever there's an economic downturn there are always a lot of out-of-work young people just waiting to be converted to rebel groups. If the movement gets big enough it'll draw in the more moderate people and you'll have a problem on your hands.
"Work to rule" is how I've heard it referenced in the past. Follow every rule exactly as it is written and watch the people who wrote them (or enforce them) squirm.
I agree with you, though, that this is probably not a case of that.
Are there major hurdles to using round connectors like for sounds? There could be bands (how a stereo setup works) for the same functionality of the pins.
Didn't you get the memo? Every difference between men and women is proof that the misogynists were right all along and the gender roles of the '50s are the most efficient way to do things.
Not really, no, unless you like to bust out sprints every now and then to charge up the battery, then take it easy for a little while when the motor kicks in.
That's exactly what this motor does! You set it to a speed, then it kicks in to help you get to that speed and stay there. It charges itself up either from you peddling faster than the set speed, or going downhill fast. If it ever got to the point where this was seen as a serious threat to the Tour De France, or other professional bicycle races they'd just make you surrender the bike for inspection as soon as you crossed the finish line. They'll x-ray it if they have to.
Pedaling less hard comes with the disadvantages of not getting where you were planning on going in the time-frame you may have imagined. It could also come with the disadvantage of slowing to a stop and rolling backwards when you come to a hill. I get that no everyone needs every new gadget that comes out, but why is it such a big deal for people around here to brag about how unnecessary technology is to them.
The casual approach used in most of science just doesn't work in this situation.
Why do you think that science is "casual". Do you think the germ theory arose because Dr. Pasteur was casual about his germs? Do you think we have nuclear weapons because the Manhattan Project was casual about atoms? Do you think we have the myriad of drugs we have today because the drug companies are staffed by casual scientists? Science works because people are continually testing things: nothing is accepted as true. The scientist who could disprove the Anthropogenic Global Warming argument would win every award that exists and some people might make a new award for them. It hasn't happened because everything we see points to AGW. There are hundreds of laboratories around the world trying to disprove it, but no one has succeeded. There is a reason they haven't, I'll let you work out the reason on your own.
Oh, no: someone hacked into all the silly website accounts I have at once. It doesn't really matter to me if I lose my/., reddit, tumblr, facebook etc. accounts at once. My bank has a good password, as does everything else which could reasonably affect me.
As Brian Posehn said, heavy metal fans are something completely different. You never see anyone rip off their shirt and yell "R&B Motherfuckers!" but metalheads pull that kind of shit all the time.
the reality of the USA in 2013 is that they do NOT care about our rights, and the police and other law agencies make too much money off the "war on drugs" to allow it to stop

Especially when it's been hit by an ice insect from outer space...
That's the joke: they hate the Oxford Comma so much they got rid of the one before it as well, just to be safe.

I was sent a video of this happening at work yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/v/TrBSi405Ous?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata#
The time lapse makes it look kinda like stop-motion, but it is pretty cool to see something that big start to move.

I have too many factual objections to that essay than I really have space to list here. I'll start by pointing you here: http://brane-space.blogspot.com/2011/07/want-to-know-about-nazi-germanys-real.html
For a more direct, if slightly drier source, you could also consider reading Mein Kampf: http://www.amazon.com/Mein-Kampf-Adolf-Hitler/dp/0395925037/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386185965&sr=8-1&keywords=mein+kampf
If that's not enough I could go on a rant about how confused you are about modern liberals.

I see what you did there.

It might not be able to delivery the PS4, but it'd have a much easier time delivering the games.
I've tried flesh-coloured earplugs a couple of times. I figure it's usually dark anyway, so at least I won't stand out too bad.

That's not a good thing.
