No, I read it. Twice, to make sure I had it right. And just now again. And I must say that story about Gotwalt just another anecdote right out of the race-baiters handbook. The same book Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton preach out of.
But if the story is "Black man shoots in self-defense and wasn't arrested because it was justified"? Well, that doesn't fit the race-baiting narrative and it also doesn't fit the "guns are evil tools of white racists" narrative. So it doesn't make the national media.
Find a case like that which has made the national news. You won't, because it doesn't fit The Narrative. Remember, they first reported Zimmerman as white, and then after he was identified as hispanic, they changed it to "white hispanic". Because it's all about a white racist killing a black youth in cold blood.
I doubt it's much different from the "ask the mullah" pages on less radical Islamic sites. They're usually about some really mundane stuff, though the subjects probably seem pretty odd to non-muslims. Lots of questions about ritual ablutions (washing up) and what sorts of things make you "ritually unclean" again.
You have hit the nail right on the head. It isn't that conservatives do not trust science in general, it is that they do not trust the people who attempt to use the positive image of science to advance their political agendas. They do not trust the blatantly transparent attempts to use "the sky is falling, we must act immediately" to impose massive social and economic. The hypocrisy of politicians who assume the mantle of science to push their own greedy power grabs is what has caused conservatives to distrust those who preach "scientific consensus" in order to deprive us of our social and economic freedom.
Seriously, I think we all know what Schneier's testimony would have been, so other than getting them in the Congressional Record and perhaps a soundbite for the news (fat chance!) was there really a need for him to testify?
I have invested in USB backup drives of about the same total capacity as my primary storage drives. Yes, that's a lot of hard drive space for backups, but it's really the only practical solution that I have found. Just think of it as the cost of not losing all that data to the inevitable drive failure.
An external eSATA drive dock and a stack of 2TB drives might be a somewhat better way to go about it, at least backups and restores would be faster than the USB drives.
First we get bad statistics about the relationship between supply and demand in the oil market, and now a bad statistics "study" of management styles? What's next, a sure-fire way to win the lottery?
"Breaking somebody's device because they shove it in your face should not ruin lives and occupations."
Well, yes, actually, it should. Yes, we know, paparazzi are annoying. But battery, robbery by battery, and destruction of property are not the way to deal with it.
Or even waiting until the Complete edition comes out, at which point you get all the DLC for less than the price of the original game. But I will make an exception for Diablo and Starcraft.
You can't just say "I can't afford an attorney". If you have any money in the bank, or if you have a job, or both, you don't get a court-appointed attorney.
You beat me to Silverlock, but I would add Myers' "The Harp and the Blade". An Irish bard in medieval France. Great story, amazing songs. Silverlock has some amazing songs too.
Well for the path-opening to happen there has to be an economic environment favorable to starting new businesses. Low barriers to entry (regulation), low taxes, etcetera. Exactly the kind of environment that we don't have in the USA.
Of course they learn from their customers. Their customers get a valuable service, and they're willing to pay a high price for it. If they weren't willing, they wouldn't pay. It doesn't matter that a few customers complain about the price, as long as they pay.

Maybe Chris Dodd needs to come to an understanding with a bucket of tar and a pile of feathers.

That apology and a few million dollars should make the hurt feelings go away.
Wait a minute, you don't cook sushi! Well, except for the rice, I guess. And the tea. And the nice warm jug of sake.
Yay for Sterno!

Given this administration's record on "investments" and "betting on the future" that's just another $200,000,000 into the pockets of Big Democrats.

Me too, and Diablo III as well. I expect both of those $60 titles will be good for a lot more than 40 hours of play.
For that you need money in politicians' pockets.
Most politicians seem to be more fond of Matthew 22:21 "Render unto Caesar".

Yeah, it's much better if they exploit their own cheap exploitable labor instead of letting some rich bastard in another country do it.
What makes you think that our "leaders" are smart enough to govern everybody?

That's a really reaaaaaaly lousy excuse for wanting to limit it further.
