I have to be careful with downloading Windows Updates. And I can't really download Linux ISOs. 150 GB is gone in no time with You-Tube, iTunes, etc. After 4 months of this, I'm getting a new place and have to sign-up for Internet. So, I'll finally be able to get the new Slackware ISO to try out rather than paying for a DVD to be shipped.
Macs are worse: 400 Meg updates are routine. XCode (development tools) is now distributed through the App Store, and it's 4.5 Gigabytes.
Similar to the NH, this SH expression of the MWP is not homogeneous in time. Rather, it is composed of two periods of generally above-average warmth, A.D. 1137–1177 and 1210–1260, that are punc- tuated by years of below-average temperatures and a middle period that is near average. Overall, this translates to a MWP that was probably 0.3–0.5C warmer than the overall 20th century average at Hokitika and, for the A.D. 1210– 1260 period, comparable to the warming that has occurred since 1950.
Of equal interest in the reconstruction is the sharp and sustained cold period in the A.D. 993–1091 interval. This cold event is easily the most extreme to have occurred over the past 1,100 years.
Even so, it is clear from both the DYE-3 and the GRIP borehole tem- perature inversions that a warm Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) can be observed with peak temperatures from 800 to 1000 AD being some 1.3K warmer than the 1881-1980 AD reference period. From 1000-1400 AD a general cooling is observed at both drill sites, followed by two cold periods culminating around 1500 and 1860 AD, respectively.
In August 2009, Voyager 1 was over 16.5 terameters (16.5×1012 meters, or 16.5×109 km, 110.7 AU, or 10.2 billion miles) from the Sun, and thus had entered the heliosheath region between solar wind's termination shock and the heliopause (the limit of the solar wind). Beyond heliopause is the bow shock of the interstellar medium, beyond which is interstellar space, a vast area where the Sun's influence gives way to that of the Milky Way galaxy in general. At this distance, light from the Sun takes over 16 hours to reach the probe.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
Ironically, the mastering techniques of the day limited CD recordings to 72 minutes. The unusually long Furtwängler "Ninth" was not released until 1997.
cgs is used in astronomy? Why? Do astrophysicists get a special thrill when claim that the sun's mass is 1.98892 * 10^33 g and its diameter, 1.392 * 10^11 cm?
Just because he's a Nazi doesn't mean that his intellectual output is completely worthless. It's a critique of liberalism, and some have found it engaging.
In modern political science, republicanism refers to a specific ideology that is based on civic virtue and is considered distinct from ideologies such as liberalism.
We don't need a Bill of Rights. What we need is a bill of responsibilities!
Raise your hands everyone who knows that the Democrats used to be the southern conservative party, and the Republicans the northern liberals?
Stephen A. Douglas was a Northern Democrat. In 1860, he received 1.4 million votes (mostly in the north), while John C. Breckinridge, the southern Democratic candidate, received a mere 800 thousand (almost entirely from southern voters). Abraham Lincoln received 1.9 million votes (almost entirely in the north).
When the body of the people in a republic are possessed of the supreme power, this is called a democracy. When the supreme power is lodged in the hands of a part of the people, it is then an aristocracy.
Snopes doubts the authenticity of the Tytler quote. Moreover, your source doesn't answer my question, instead repeating canards and urban legends in support of a more theocratic state.

Don't the police already have accident reports? Why do they need more information?

And from that Cook and Palmer paper:

More noise for the dataset?
Project Daedalus envisions sending a probe to Banard's Star, about six light years away. The journey would take 50 years.
You're probably thinking of the Oort Cloud.

The Kuiper belt extends from 30 AU to 55 AU.
And again, the Supreme Court has to step in to halt the stream of utopian effluvia flowing from the 9th circuit. When will they learn?
Heed the wisdom of Zapp Brannigan:
With enemies you know where they stand but with neutrals? Who knows! It sickens me.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain
The CD single failed in the marketplace.
It seems Symphonies and all were created in those halcyon days of "live performances"
Don't be silly. I'm sure Beethoven had an ipod.
This Wired article is a bit more detailed.

Streaming HD is around 2gb/hr. Watch two movies per day (simple in a household) and you're looking at around 250gb.
Comcast would rather have you use its On Demand offerings. Netflix? Apple? Youtube? Hulu? Those are all competitors.
Rabbit ears won't work in the tinfoil house either.
It depends on how many of the cool features are encumbered by patents.
Hasn't this all been done before? Wasn't a portion of the television spectrum allocated for these "first responders"? Why don't they use that?
In 2000, the Florida legislature considered appointing its own slate. Your argument would seem to legitimize this kind of shenanigan.
Have you read Toqueville's "Democracy in America"?

I prefer this one, also from Wikipedia.

They get fired, and their union rep goes to jail.
I think you'll find that that interpretation lost out in 1865...
