Living in the Virginia Piedmont, I try to drive such that my battery is very low by the time I get to the top of hills. Because I'm almost certainly going to be recharging it on the way down.
Greenpeace called the French authorities and told them that they'd sent men sneaking into nuclear power plants, and the French authorities then stood down their snipers and allowed the Greenpeace guys to finish climbing the building and deploy their banner before arresting them.
I see you've posted this idea 5 times to this thread, all without any references. The linked article does not say that. Perhaps you have a better link or two you'd like to share.
Teaching 55,203,000 students, at 132,656 schools. There is no larger group of professionals in the US. So, if you want to improve education in the US, you can pretty much forget about "hiring the best, firing the rest." You need to build a teaching work force that meets your needs.
is interesting if you'd like to understand what a punching bag ED is. Understanding why would requiring understanding the dog-whistle of conservative US politics.
Are we planning to produce extremely high speed objects in the future? Think anyone else might be able to produce extremely high speed objects? Think they can aim an extremely high speed object at a distant planet?
So, why not lower the tax? Oh, I know - we don't want to give those "evil corporations" a break!
If it were lower, that that would be a huge take break for small businesses. If the loopholes were gone, that would be a huge tax increase for large businesses. And since large businesses make the rules, what do you expect to happen?
Maybe he thinks it's about a fictional character in a fictional universe? He's a theater professor. He likes the stories. He hung up a TV and/or movie poster. Any movie poster for any movie involving, e.g., guns, is going to be "threatening" by the criteria used in this case.
Contagion is by Soderburgh, so there's some chance it could be good to very good. There's also a reasonable chance that it will be completely unintelligible crap. Guess I'll wait for the reviews:)
Speaking from experience, when demand for a utility goes down 10-20%, the utility company will try to raise rates 10-20% based on the fact that they have had a drop in revenue, but still have the same costs.
That's what I've seen in Central Virginia, as usage dropped. Which makes solar (or whatever) 10-20% more competitive. Of course, these are requests by the utility to raise rates, since the utilities here remain regulated.
This effect is not limited to electricity, either. Same thing happened with our water utility -- all that effort to get people to conserve water really paid off! If you reduced your usage, your bill stayed about the same. If you didn't reduce, then you got to pay more.
The secretaries are analogous to the administrative staff of the university. The partners are analogous to the professors. In both cases the point of the institution has been lost.
So keep creationism out of science, but do offer religious beliefs as a class outside of science.
I think it should be taught in school, but as politics not religion. AFAIK, Creationism is not anyone's religious belief, it's a mishmash of otherwise unrelated data attempting to undermine science, create a stir, and motivate voters. Kind of like global warming deniers, which also ought to be studied as politics and/or economics.
"I'd like to be in Congress in order to shrink the government" isn't a contradiction in terms.
I agree with "I'd like to be in Congress because I think a well run government is essential for the common good." People can differ on what "well run" means, but I assert that only a dip shit elects someone to government because government is "the problem."
It has been my experience that most Americans I know who are big-government, welfare-state liberals grew up in places where government works. By contrast, most of the small-government, go-it-alone conservatives grew up in places where it doesn't. Don't forget that not all governments work...
Insightful, but I wonder about causality. Seems like maybe small-government, go-it-alone conservatives are electing douchbags. I mean, when I give my vote to someone who assures me that government is the problem, so that person can become a member of said government, doesn't that make me an idiot?

Maybe I'd like these lights just fine, myself, but doesn't it seem like a repeat of the Hawthorne Effect?

They sound just like a sewing machine. I drove the sewing machine to work this morning.
And if the current level of virtualization isn't secure enough, adding another virtual layer will certainly improve security even more.

Get someone to dun them for what they owe you!
How exactly are they going to do "Internet Voting" in a non-bogus way?
Do you have a reference where "cutting corners" produced the bad mirror on Hubble? Because I understood it was stupidity.
If I thought I'd appear in any of that data, I'd already have disappeared.

This Tyler Clementi, in case people forgot. I don't think this legislation is directed at "principals" at all.

Reminds me of the movie "Heathers" -- "Whether to kill yourself or not is one of the most important decisions a teenager can make. "
Which one was Timothy James McVeigh? How about this rule of thumb:
"Terrorists are the people in a weak position, violently opposing those in a strong position"
That covers collectivists, Muslims, and Tim.
God forbid anyone ever use the slightest touch of hyperbole in your presence, then.
Hyperbole? Sounds more like a platform, to me.

Sorry no mod points! As I understand it, you are correct.
