TERM LIMITS! We need term limits! They are only in it for themselves. There is no reason any of us can't represent our district. Send them up there for a term and then send someone new! Representing the people and making laws is not rocket science, you know.
Time to "right size" congress. It made sense to have districts when we had only horses. Now with modern communication, we can cut the number of "representatives" way down. Think of the savings!
I have not noticed this. We have a yard at the base of a cell phone tower used by 4 carriers - no problems. I've been putting old desktop MBs under hives for about 3 years, complete with switch mode power supplies and hard drives, some with Wi-Fi, some with ethernet - no problems. I think what you are referring to was one poorly designed experiment where the cordless phone base was placed in the hive. If it did cause the hive to collapse, it was probably the magnetic field from the transformer in the base, not the RF.
Folks, check out hivetool.net and hivetool.org. We've been putting sensors in hives for about three years - have about 15 on-line in the southeast US and California. We desperately need DBAs and programmers to help with some of the software tools.
I work for a commercial beekeeper in the southeast US. We run about 2000 hives. Last fall we had our first experience with colony collapse. A brief description can bee seen at hivetool.org/cc When you troubleshoot a system that was working, whether it's hardware or software, the first thing you do is undo the last thing you did. In this case it could be the introduction of Neonicitinoids. The EU has banned them for a few years. This is similar legislation in the US: The save the American Pollinators Act of 2013, HR 2692
This is a real problem that is starting to affect the food supply - seen the the price of almonds this year?
And yes, we probably have seen this before in the late 1800s- only it was called Disappearing Disease or Dwindling Off. Guess what insecticide was used then?
Yep. Spot on, ackthpt. Er, Bill, you mean the kids need something with a keyboard like the One Laptop Per Child project that you tried so hard to destroy?

One more straw to break Micro$oft's back - and this could be a big straw. Yes, there is still the problem with proprietary office software, but isn't everything going to the cloud anyway? Beats tethering.

Aren't at least some of these libraries licensed under open source? Does this mean that any variants or improvements must be open sourced? Just asking.
Why do we kill the messenger? This is crazy. This guy deserves a thank you, a medal and a high paying job offer.
To be guilty of a criminal act, there must be two elements present, the Actus reus and the Mens rea (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea).
'actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea, which means "the act does not make a person guilty unless the mind is also guilty".'
Sorry, this guy definitely did not have the mens rea.
Why do we kill the messenger? What is wrong with us?
Before you choose a side to fight, forget about who's wrong or right
If you like your neck, you best as heck start rooting for the winner
This brave new world is knocking at your door, and you better let it in
The constitution's evolution never made a contribution to the revolutionary man
And it's a crime
To speak your mind
And it's a crime...
Don't say a word, cuz if you're heard
That blade is gonna fall

You mean "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard drive"?
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you destroy a whole ecosystem.

Once again, Lawyers are not the smartest cookies in the jar. "He who serves as their own lawyer has a fool for a client." Sounds like a counter claim for harassment, filing a frivolous lawsuit and abusive litigation. See CASE COMMENT: Yost v.

"lawyers, financial advisers, bank[er]s" - not exactly the smartest cookies in the box.
