Isn't it crazy for all the things to go wrong, it would be a parachute that is the most common.
Not really; parachutes are actually pretty finicky pieces of equipment. Parachutes for people are something we've been doing for about 80 years now, they are produced and packed with incredibly exacting care, and every parachutist actually carries two parachutes, just in case. And you *still* occasionally hear about parachute accidents where the parachute didn't work right. The main problem is that it is very easy for the rigging to get tangled, and when that happens the parachute doesn't open correctly and the whole deal drops like a rock.
Keep in mind that ANY generation of energy releases, in the end, heat.
The heat generated by man-made endeavors is negligible in the earth's overall heat budget. Global warming is caused because we are causing more solar heat to be retained, rather than directly from our own piddling efforts.
Yes, but trick is that since you can't constantly be bugging Linus for all the answers, you have to know what his opinion is without asking him. That's the tough part.
Final Fantasy XI has "Adventuring Fellows". You have to quest to get one. The amount of time you get to keep it out is limited, and there are some other limitations. Also, it starts at level 30 and you have to level it up.
This isn't to say that it'd be just to fake evidence protecting the pot smokers, just that it would be fine and moral for the officer to say to his boss that he wasn't going to participate in enforcing a law that he thought was harmful.
I'm sorry, but having a cop pick and choose which laws he will deign to enforce strikes me as very *immoral*. And as having very bad practical consequences as well.
"I was just doing my job" didn't fly at Nuremberg and it won't fly here. People who believe in justice should refuse to enforce and obey unjust laws, no matter what.
So you want the police to enforce laws based on their individual opinions about whether they're just or not? I'd think very, *very* carefully about that notion, if I were you.
A cop's duty to uphold the laws as he is sworn to do is a thing requiring careful balance. Generally, only the most heinous injustices excuse him from it. I'm sorry, but I will not blame any cop for arresting someone for marijuana possession as long as undue force was not used and unnecessary harm not inflicted during the arrest. You don't like it, get the law changed. That's possible, you know.
There's no specific bias in the general concept, no, but the concept requires you to make a choice that *does* create a bias. If they'd made an extremist liberal talking head (which they certainly could have done), the show would be biased to satirizing liberals and would have a hard time targeting conservatives.
Actually, I was referring mostly to The Colbert Report, that being the main subject of the article. I acknowledge that The Daily Show is much more willing engage targets in all directions. The Colbert Report's very structure, built around a parody of a conservative commentator, makes it really suitable only for sniping conservative targets.
I suspect when Democrats get in power that won't change.
Of course it won't; the show's liberal beliefs won't let it. The show will simply drop in popularity as making fun of out-of-power Republicans won't be as funny. The new big political satire show (which probably has yet to be created) will make fun of the Democrats.
Inuit also live in some of the harshest conditions inhabited by man. You don't discover much under those conditions. Experimenting is discouraged, as experimenting tends to get you killed, and, since surviving under these conditions is a team effort, tends to get the people depending on you killed as well.
Yeoman Rand was an ensign. Commissioned officers as yeomen is the weird stuff you get when you insist that everybody is an officer, as they did in the original series.
It was Roddenberry's original idea that every one in the crew of a starship was at least an ensign, which makes them all, yes, commissioned officers. After all, they're all astronauts, and astronauts in the US military today are all officers (yes, I know this argument doesn't actually make a lot of sense, but it's one Roddenberry used). Then we got Miles O'Brien introduced in TNG as an enlisted man (Chief Petty Officer, which is why he's often addressed as "Chief O'Brien"). Oddly, we never saw any *other* enlisted men (or women) that I can recall. The whole thing remains rather confused.

I can note here that USB *is* a charger standard...
Australopithicus?
Driving with an obscured license plate is a traffic offense in every state, for reasons that should be obvious if you think about it for ten seconds.

I have no idea who "Coheed and Cambria" are. Obviously, I'm not nearly cool enough to own a Mac.
Er, Gibbon's Decline and Fall is *six* volumes.
"At the moment"?
Can you point out to me a moment when the IOC was *not* making themselves look pretty scummy by association? At least in the past 20 years or so?
When you put an engine in it, the difference is that it has an engine in it. Engine-driven vehicles require licenses to be driven on public roads.

Darl, is that you doing AC posts to Slashdot again?
Yes, but trick is that since you can't constantly be bugging Linus for all the answers, you have to know what his opinion is without asking him. That's the tough part.
I count ten bits, personally. Are you Yakuza, by any chance?

Well, the edgy hedgehog now is Shadow. He's got a gun.
Of course it won't; the show's liberal beliefs won't let it. The show will simply drop in popularity as making fun of out-of-power Republicans won't be as funny. The new big political satire show (which probably has yet to be created) will make fun of the Democrats.
You level the building.

Yeah, it's just sickening how Georgia was sure they had an easy conquest in taking on a tiny country like Russia.
Tell ya what. I'll let you ban gunpowder from garages if you let me ban gasoline from garages.
