Next thing you know, the department of culture* will be telling people to eat at restraunts instead of preparing their own meals, hiring maids instead of sweeping their floors, etc.
Mmmmmmm...... French maids. Personally I'm all for a bit of culture every now and again!
You absolutely CAN purchase personal health insurance simply and easily. My father-in-law has personal health insurance, for example, and even though he has M.S. it only costs him $3,500 a month.
Yes I know BBC programs contain ads when shown overseas but these are put in place by whoever buys the series, not the BBC so they still make the series without much outside influence.
And I still haven't forgiven BBC America for that abomination!
I should probably clarify that statement before I get branded as a troll: I will pick whichever format will not automatically assume that I'm a criminal and therefore prevent me from watching a true HD picture on my 3 year old $3500 HD television set which, of course, does not have an HDMI interface.
Instead of ranting about the issues you should try to work on them to improve the technology...
I personally am trying to get the laws of physics that govern that fact that a long, unshielded conductor carrying high voltage electricity modulating at high frequency will radiate RF interference all over the spectrum. Unfortunately Senator Barak Obama absolutely refuses to meet with Mother Nature to broker a deal, even going so far as to imply that she doesn't even exist!
Personally I just think that this is an indicator that he's in the pockets of the big power companies.
It's important that we have female shuttle pilots.
It's also important to note that while Eileen Collins was the first ever female shuttle pilot, on this mission she was the first ever female shuttle commander.
Why should we even bother going to space if we are going to spend the entire flight fixing issues that have probably always been there, but only recently have been declared safety hazards. All these little repairs don't leave any time for science. Remember science, the reason that we go to space?
Because nobody at NASA wants to be sitting in front of a Senate committee saying "We're sorry for the loss of Discovery. Yes, we knew about the gap fillers sticking out of the underbelly. We even had pictures of them. We even believed that we could have simply repaired the problem using the ISS robotic arm to move an astronaut up to them and just pull them out. It's just that we thought it was more important to finish off the last couple of experiments on the mission. And yes, we realize that the experiment results burned up too."
One of the gap fillers was there to prevent tiles vibrating together on take-off, and therefore isn't necessary during re-entry. In fact this gap filler wasn't even designed for thermal protection.
The second gap filler is there to stop repeated thermal exposure to the part of the orbiter sub-frame surrounding the front landing gear. Luckily since that is an area of high heating on the orbiter the sub-frame is designed to withstand extremely high temperatures. The gap filler is really to stop that part of the orbiter from repeatedly being exposed to high temperatures mission after mission. It should be absolutely fine for one re-entry.
Too true, too true. You should see the Boulevard at this time of year. SWARMING with Ents it is. They're a pain in the ass but we put up with them 'cos they bring in the Green.
No. You should do it because it's feature rich, has very intuitive mouse gesturing built in, has one of the fastest and most accurate rendering engines out there, and is IMHO just plain nice to use.
And you should probably see someone about that whole 'not being able to resist advertising' thing.;-)
Yes, but in all seriousness Linux file and e-mail servers can store viruses for Windows users. That was the primary market being serviced by that software.
Re:More public interest for Moon instead of ISS?

Back to Moon in 2015?

Damn right there'd be more interest! It'll also serve as the ideal place to store all of our nuclear waste!
...Clay pigeons for example. A very large number of people participating in that sport do not hunt, and it certainly doesn't train you for defensive (or offensive) shooting against human targets
Unless the human target is currently flying through the air in front of you, of course.

The tiny state of Tasmania
Just to give some idea of what 'tiny' is in this context, Tasmania is about half way between West Virginia and South Carolina in terms of area.
I pick..... neither!

Nope, it sounds like subtly off-key bells. I've heard GOOD Carillions before, and they sound a lot better than that one.
They can bite my shiny metal disc!
Like that amazing Carillon tower (giant bell tower) that they decided was a good use of millions of $ of taxpayer cash. It never gets played.
That must be a completely DIFFERENT Carillion that I've heard being played on numerous occasions down by the river walk then.
Sounds bloody awful and it's still a complete waste of tax-payers money, but it was definitely being played.
Lots of Parentheses In Commentary
...which one has 'vi' built in and which one has 'emacs' built in again?
8-bit, I'm guessing.
I didn't realise women came with warranties?
mastered long ago by the Chinese official, Wan Hu. He clearly has prior art.
According to these guys it's more likely that he had third degree burns rather than prior art.
