Yes! You too can grow hairy electronic materials in your own home! Amaze your friends and neighbors! Makes a great gift for anybody in the family! Act now, limited supply!
And at some point we'll find these become Triffids, but only when it's too late.
It wasn't "necessary" for the past 50 years, it just makes the terrible cold war the Koreas are in a little easier by means of technology.
How about those massive tunnels under the DMZ? The North continues to labor under the belief they will one day liberate the people of the south from evil, vampyric capitalists.
Maybe from the US citizens not the the US gov't. Only 10% of funds can come from a government source to eligible for the Lunar X prize.
One thing about Israel, they've a long track record of finding dirt cheap ways to do things the US government/military or such like to shovel billions of dollars at.
But he doesn't have a green card, he's here on an O-1B visa. Gotta watch for those technicalities when drafting something with the full weight and force of an online petition.
Interesting bit about begin here on an Artistic visa is they're a bit easier to revoke.
This suddenly makes me rather sad that the filibuster rules were changed for appointment confirmations. The Republicans had been abusing the filibuster against appointments far too frequently (traditionally one only goes after appointments if there is a serious problem), but this is precisely the kind of appointment where it might be useful. Even if I think most of them are cynical opportunists, I should very much like the opposition use this chance to put more pressure on the security state.
Yep, they thought they'd score some biggie whopper points with crying wolf and this is what we get for it.
The business of Admirals is to kill people and destroy their property. An Admiral won't mind smaller violence like breaking constitutional law, lying to the public, and spending taxpayer dollars on projects to make money for a few.
The business of Admirals is to defend the people of the United States with wise use of the Navy. Failing that, to cover their butts until they can retire.
That's the old hiring practice. The new practice adds the additional question "Are you willing to spy a lot on the American people?"
Can you spy on the American People and play dumb, convincingly before Congress? (They authorized all this but now clamber over each other claiming shock and dismay while attempting to reach for the highest indignation.)
About 9 years back I received a pre-approved offer for a credit card (Visa, IIRC) with a limit of $100,000. I tore that sucker up into teensy-weensy bits. The utterly bizarre thing was I didn't gross that at the time (though I was close.)
Heh, in college, I got a Discover card with a 2 liter bottle of Sunkist soda.
Somewhere I have a T-shirt from a credit card company for filling out an application. (I did get the card and still have it, as my sole credit card) But what tool goes around wearing a [Credit Card Company] shirt?
That this appears to state every person in the US, regardless of age, has on average three credit cards.
The data is surely skewed by "financing" offers. I bought some furniture a couple of years ago and in order to get my discount they effectively opened a credit card account (basically same as Macy's cards and their ilk). Of course I never used it beyond paying off my balance, because the rates were atrocious. But I believe it would count as an extra account.
I wasn't comfortable with having many cards. I did have one from a few department stores, back when I was first trying build a credit score. I purposely closed each one of them, but one, which expired and was closed out by the store (I was in Chicago on a trip and saw a cool jacket I wanted - the store did not take my Visa card, but would take American Express or their store card, so they opened a store card account with a tiny little limit.) I know where I have accounts and within $100 what the balances are on them. As I'm rapidly approaching a positive net I'm getting an absolute shower of offers, pre-approvals, etc. Including these scary things from financial institutions listed as on Tribal Lands, which have some of the most alarming interest rates I've ever seen.

Adjusting out the 17 and unders and the elderly who are less likely to be stacking up credit purchases on retirement budgets, this suggests about 5 cards per person.

Play "patrol the boarder" on Xbox Live for just $19.95 per month! See how many illegal border crossings you can catch!
I think they were spending more than that on beer alone.

I dunno. I first encountered it in ELIZA.

They'll bring up the Balrog! Noozzz!
Don't be a hozzer eh?
That's hoser, you hoser and eh is affirmative, in this case, so more properly it would be:
Don't be a hoser, eh!
Now take off hosehead, eh!
Congress has prior art.
Oh, they hear alright, they just don't listen.
Now I can party on the whole Night withouth annoying the neighbors
You'e going to party in your car?
The Cone of Silence never works, Max.
But this one, unlike all the others, will!
Now we just need it compact.

"Yes"
"Can you spy a lot?"
"Yes"
"You're hired."
new hiring practice at the NSA
There is a British company named Wonga who's APR is just a tad over 5850%
And NUFC forward Papiss Cissé objected to wearing the shirt sponsor's logo on moral and religious grounds. Fair play to him.
It takes that many cards to hold all the debt an average American family has

Yeek.
Judge Dredd will be by to see you about your attitude in a little bit.
easy the ferg!
Because criminals won't immediately disable this shit, right?
Criminals will be targeted by drones. You'll know they are criminals because the drones shot at them.
Move along, citizen, nothing to see here.
As soon as this is hacked and becomes the plaything of miscreants.
