My friends with English degrees work a variety of stellar service industry related jobs, you insensitive clod! Would you like your milk whipped in your crappe-frappe-whappe-chino?
The design phase of any project will have a large price tag which is why the first couple of units produced have such an inherently high cost associated with them. Then once a project is picked up, assembly lines are fully operational, the cost of units go down. Simple engineering economics.
DARPA is out there to look at the strategic techonologies that might be required in the future battlescape. Just because it starts out as a design concept that doesn't necessarily seem the best of ideas it's there to further flesh out and seek out innovation from industry/private sector. So many are quick to chastise DOD research, yet there is so much out there that wouldn't be possible without DARPA and other Military/Goverment funded research. Healthcare (ie Trauma response) is always a huge beneficiary to this research. Across the board it pushes technology and innovation in fields which may not have had the funding to be researching such.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux There are plenty of ways to quantify and qualify light or "sunbeams". The problem with solar power is transmission and cost effectiveness for the maintenance and life-cycle costs of the associated systems. Not to be a pain in the ass, but what you describe is not really the issue with solar power.
Across the ocean, the EU state of Portugal(?) legalized drugs and opened-up addiction centers to help people get cured, and the drug-related crime plummeted to almost nothing.
Drug related crimes plummeted? If we legalized murder wouldn't murder related crimes also plummet? Are you talking about possession, what sort of drug-related are we talking about?
Any good articles on this? I'm going to see what the google-fu can drum up...
You think juggling all of that and a girlfriend is bad. Try getting married, I haven't played a computer game in 2 and a half months. My homebuilt pc is calling to me, it longs for my caress.
Bars where I went to school would hire uniformed off duty city police as entrance door guards or just to have them sit in their vehicle, monitor the radio, and notify them if a raid for underage drinking was imminent.
Then again this was in a city well known for it's corruption in a state that is well known for the same. (It's not Chicago, but it's on the Gulf Coast where all this BP barf is happening)

insert obvious statement
It's called Women's Studies, and if you have a penis - you're wrong.

Not quite, if you searching for other articles and links he billed it to her Dell account. She didn't purchase it for him.
From the pictures I'm seeing, I'm not so sure I want to see them.
Bah, who am I kidding. I'm curious, and I'm like Nixon so I'll likely keep them and file them away on one of the multitude of hard drives I have.
Obviously you haven't been paying attention to this 2012 fiasco, the world will be long gone before that!

I'm sure some people would just volunteer to be their flying mount.
Sure I had a drink or two on Saturday but WOW, I slept through the creation?
Luckily it's only Livingston Parish.
And I've just lost faith in my home state...
Anything is more cool than the entirety of the prequels...
actually what prequels were you referring to? There is only the Star Wars Trilogy.
Charred. Don't forget the charring of the wooden barrel, that's where the delicious flavor comes from!

I learned a new word today!
Leary's standup on the subject is absolutely hillarious.
"What are you?"
"I'm a cow"
"Get in the fucking truck"
Citation horribly needed. Where do you get these numbers from?

Well, the evidence is circumstantial; but they've sure lubricated a lot of blowholes in the past few months... That suggests intent.
What's the porpoise of these allegations? You're just try to slander their names and those of dolphinophiles everywhere, by relating them to BP execs.
(Yes, porpoises are not dolphins, if you thought this and thought to correct me - then I hope you get molested by a dolphin)
That's why I chant "Drill, Baby, Drill" as I cruise around town in my three SUVs. God, I love the smell of burning dinosaurs in the morning.
The clever "modded down, don't mod me up (I'm secretly wanting some karma) approach". I see what you did there...
