This is just one more example of Comcast and other provider's efforts to throttle usage by the "other than big dog customers". Time Warner and Comcast have a history of going down this road before, when they shut down their mail servers to effectively cut off access to Usenet. Unfortunately, with Net Neutrality appearing to go nowhere, we can expect more of the same for the foreseeable future.
No, most people realize that the universe DOES matter... those trying to figure out why most of the universe appears to be matter rather than anti-matter are in need of lithium!!
We had no problem obtaining liquid nitrogen at my school, but were not permitted to use a goldfish. However, we were allowed to substitute a tuna fish sandwich, which provided an impressive (and tasty) result!
Let's think positively... they may be losing their Mythbusters gig, but it will give these "actors" the opportunity to advance their solo careers. Or in Grant Imahara's case, his "Sulu" career...
The promise of fusion energy is a classic example of the "next 25-years syndrome".
Whether your point of reference is the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, or right up through the present day, you will inevitably hear someone state that "fusion energy will be a reality in 'the next 25-years'"!!
Agreed. Problem is, the deniers believe that 'Global Warming' should equate to a nice, linear rise in temperature... any deviation or, heaven forbid, a drop in average temperature is automatically assumed by these individuals as proof that the Climate Change position is invalid.
Also, the media does it's share of sensationalizing by immediately blaming 'Global Warming' whenever a particularly nasty event occurs, such as a tornado outbreak, flash flood or hurricane. There are 'nice, linear effects', but you have to look for them. A good example is this article about chronic flooding in Miami Beach, FL.

An 8" rise in sea level since 1870 may not seem worrisome, until you take into consideration that most of Miami's real estate is at or slightly above sea level. Current estimates are that sea level will rise from one to four feet by the end of this century, displacing thousands.
Part of the problem is the continued use of the phrase 'Global Warming' that tends to focus on local temperature spikes during the Summer, rather than 'Climate Change', which encompasses extreme events occurring throughout the year. These include incursions of cold air, such as the vaunted Polar Vortex (which, incidentally is making an appearance over North America as we speak...), sea-surface heating and cooling associated with El Niño and La Niña, thawing of the Arctic permafrost, long-term drought, wild fires, and sea level rise from Greenland glacier melt.
Incredibly, there have been accusations by right wing politicians in US coastal states like Florida and Texas who claim that sea level rise is a hoax, and use evidence of lower than normal temperatures during the previous winter and current summer to 'prove' their point. Maybe the fact that glacial melting cause is taking place outside of their voting districts is a sufficient reason, in their minds, to ignore this effect.
The leading theory says that Mercury survived an early solar system collision, like the glancing blow that a protoplanet had with theEarth, which spawned the Moon. But Mercury's collision was more head-on, which resulted in the majority of it's crust and mantle being blown away. Thus, Mercury's makeup is primarily iron/nickle, like Earth's core.
I love my Time Warner service. Comcast will find a way to ruin it.
I loved my Insight service, until they were purchased by TWC, now my download speed has dropped by 20%, and service interruptions are occurring all too frequently. Chances for any improvement after a Comcast takeover are slim, but what bothers me even more is the monopolistic implications. Here in Kentucky, TWC/Comcast has no competition, which means that there is no incentive to improve service, especially with DSL and satellite as our only alternatives.
Curious why this post is considered "trolling"... Tongue seemed firmly imbedded in cheek, or have we lost the ability to identify a faciscious remark when we see it?
I would have to wonder if they will effectively separate classes on a ship as they did in that time, this hardly seems like it would be a popular concept in modern day, however it is hardly an accurate recreation if they ignore this aspect.
First Class, top of the heap suites are supposed to sell for a minimum of $1,000,000, per person, so, as in everything else, wealth will find it's own level... and umpteen degrees of separation...
