And the reason they weren't cheaper had little to do with technology and a whole lot to do with legislation. The government made is so difficult and expensive to build a nuclear power plant that the utilities and investors simply gave up.
Ten years ago, at SONGS, the estimate for installing conduit was $1,000 per foot. Not because there was anything special about the conduit being used, but because of the associated documentation, legal, and filing fees.
Not true. When a highway or freeway is the only option, cyclists can take it. There are some rules, however: they can't cross offramps or onramps--they have to exit and re-enter. When Camp Pendleton is closed to traffic the only way to ride south to San Diego is via the 5. I have ridden on that freeway several times on that route.
Is it possible that the defense threw the case knowing that their client was guilty but also knowing that they had a better chance of appealing on the constitutionality of the award?
I too work at a multi-billion $ per year company, and our executives also bought the SAP sales pitch hook, line, & sinker. What a stinking pile of crap. I have never seen a worse user interface. The saddest part is, no-one knows of a successful implementation, yet all of the executives who buy this shit think "my company will be the first!" They also think paying hundreds of millions of dollars to firms like Deloitte will fix everything. Dumbasses.
One of my co-workers invented SAP: The Board Game. Every card says "Lose a Turn."
You completely missed the point. The parent's comment wasn't debating the existence of God. The post covered why worshiping said God was irrelevant and a waste of time.
It's really a 2 point scale (2.0 to 4.0). If your GPA stays below 2.0 for too long you are kindly asked to leave. At least that's the way it was back when I was in college (UCLA, class of '94).
Don't be so smug. Every kid is different. My sister's first daughter was exceptionally well-behaved when they would go out to restaurants, never throwing her food or even pushing it off of her tray. She was simply a neat child. The second daughter (raised by the same parents in the same household) on the other hand likes to perform the manouver known as the "windshield wiper" where she swings her arms across her tray until every last scrap is on the floor.
Your kid will stay by your side in crowded places--don't take that for granted. There are a lot of good parents out there who simply have kids that want to explore.
Let me see if I've got this right. You found the best deal in town, made the purchase, a different retailer a week later lowers their price to $50 below what you paid, so you return to the place of your purchase to complain that you were ripped off? I don't think that phrase means what you think it means.
They find that even a regional Indian-Pakistan exchange, each country using 50 Hiroshima-sized bombs, can have pretty significant global climate impacts (almost 1.5 C cooling).
So what you're saying is that a regional Indian-Pakistan exchange would not only help with the world's overpopulation, but would also work to reverse global warming?
Technically, the word "reverberated" is just as long, and so is "desegregated" - but they're sometimes disqualified because they require using the past tense.
So past tense is disqualified but plural is ok? What official body is making up these rules?

I pity the developer who has to maintain your code after you've moved on.
It's only a matter of time. We're screwed. Nice going, IBM.

This story reminds me of a speech I gave in my freshman english class. I was a news anchor reporting on the first ever Indy 500 for the blind.
"Everything was going so well until they reached the first turn..."
Then I put my head in my hands and wept.
iHobo: No coffee. Takes up table space at Starbucks. Lame.
The ignorance about the dangers of particle accelerators is disconcerting.
Greatest complaint about the general public ever.
How do we know? Maybe The Blob was just a really angry algae bloom? Those Deadliest Catch guys better not piss this one off!

We've got to get this thing together with this guy.

Reminds me of a scene from Pirates of Silicon Valley:
Jobs: "Our stuff is better!"
Gates: "That doesn't matter."

BUSTED!!
The one and only thing I truly miss from my crappy old flip phone. If only The Steve wasn't violently opposed to it.

Wow, an attaboy from NYCL. Somebody's bucking to get on the friend list!
There is no spoon?
She dropped out of school because she couldn't figure out how to make her computer work.
Dude, it's even better than that. She dropped out of technical college because she couldn't figure out how to make her computer work.
Fired? Was there an American subtitled version?
