Slapping the 'phobia' label on someone else's non-fear based reason(s) for excluding some group is an effective Newspeak way of degrading and belittling. Sorry, I don't do cognitive dissonance; the Boy Scouts have an institutional moral reason (which may well be irrational, but it's moral-based not fear-based) to exclude homosexuals.
A phobia is an irrational fear. The policy ban you cite is due to their organization's religious beliefs, not an irrational fear. If the policy was due to suspecting gay members were automatically pedophiles, that would be an irrational fear.
Actually, since this has happened and been fixed at this bank, it's now the place to keep your money to avoid the problem. At other banks, it just hasn't happened yet.:/
These energy source choice offerings are the biggest con job on customers. At best all you can do is vote with your payment as to which you like best. The money goes into a general fund and the electricity is pooled into the grid. Your individual payment doesn't go to, and you don't get dedicated wires from your house to, the particular source.
Many cities and other municipalities have ordinances like this. Why is this one instance news?
The real lesson has nothing to do with any particular city being "nuclear free" or "sanctuary" or anything else in particular. The lesson is that government passes laws and leaves them on the books ad infinitum without ever revisiting them to see if they need updating or outright repeal. In this case, the special interest group that pushed for the law's latest version of specifics no longer exists. I bet people in that community have bumper stickers saying "question authority" but won't ever think of bringing up statues from the 80's for review,
Microsoft's shell company with some innocuous name based in the Caymans contracted a factory to have them made. Thus, even the OEM making it had no idea who it was really for.
No, while Q was acted well, he was the worst plot device in the entire franchise and is guaranteed to put off any new viewer. Even worse than the holodeck on Voyager.
Get your agencies straight: the CIA spies on people outside the USA, the FBI spies on people inside the USA, the NSA spies on people anywhere on the planet, the NRO spies on everyone throughout the galaxy.
There's a big psychological difference behind the attitude towards passengers of the average screener empowered by the federal government and one empowered by the local airport.
To say "go to a country that doesn't have one" is disingeneous at best. They don't exist.
Sure they do: Iceland, for example, has no standing army, only a coast guard and air defense. Then if you really want somewhere without even that, there's the Federated States of Micronesia.
Hard to tell without even state border outlines. I'm not too bad at estimating from memory but what's with the bits down in the south east? Is that Mexico City or, like some maps of the USA, Hawaii or Alaska is munged into that map space??
And Federal spending on education is pennies on the dollar compared to what state and local governments spend. A lot of this chasing after tests is to get marginal additional funding. It seems a bizarre process to send money out of the state to the feds, cram for standardized tests, get money back minus beauracratic overhead.
What does it take to get that liquid hydrogen in the first place. I bet this is as environmentally friendly as the process to make all the batteries in hybrid vehicles.
The ID model? What model? ID is just: "Whatever science finds, except the root cause is God wants it to be like that." Hardly a proper model, just piggybacking.
Exactly - isn't there a point of diminishing returns? Are the current ones really so huge that it's causing a noticeable impact on costs that these even smaller ones will make a difference?
Just don't virtualize everything into a single host. Have multiple hosts and set the virtualization management to fail over. Otherwise losing one server means losing all the servers. Then only make enough VMs so that if one host failed, things would just run slightly annoyingly slow on the one picking up the load until the problem is fixed. Of course, don't let the annoyingly slow happen to anything mission critical with tight response requirements no matter what.
No kidding, the author is full of loaded language. Why not just "headphones" instead of "two plastic pieces connected by a wire"? I think he's pretty clearly got something personal against headphones in the first place. The place where my father worked had a good solution: everyone was in a rotation for music of the week. You brought your CDs and they played on a multi-disk capable boom box (or ghetto blaster) in the corner of the office for that week. No one brought anything too annoying or weird because everyone else could get revenge on their own week.

If she asks, "What is Warp?" Just say, "It lets the ship go faster than light."
That's way too technical; the correct answer is: "That's how the ship goes from one planet to another"
Watch the original series episode that introduces Khan back to back with the movie.

It's like putting together an article proclaiming there will, in fact, be a next week next week.
Ah, but while next week may be a lot like this week, the new system will be more advanced than the old system.
How strange that so many humans can be so smart and do so many amazing things and yet so many others are so stupid in so many other ways.

Because if anyone knows how to create a quality education its the idiots that elect your local school board.
Are you trying to imply the federal department of education has higher quality idiots than the local school board?

a CFL bulb in it is insane. I broke one trying to open the package.
CFLs are a design problem themselves. Did you follow the proper cleanup procedure?
Not head; their *hands*. Each in its own clamshell.
