The American Beverage Association also noted that California added the coloring to its list of carcinogens with no studies showing that it causes cancer in humans. It noted that the listing was based on a single study in lab mice and rats.
California, again, is the trend-setter. Next thing you know, all the other states will have followed suit.
When I visited a laboratory of Dow Chemical, the engineers had a great cartoon on the wall. I really wish I had a chance to get a copy of it. There's a rat with a big pipe going in its mouth and a big pipe coming out it's rear, with one lab technician examing a clipboard and stating to another, "Well, looks like drinking water causes cancer."
Considering how familiar these people were with the concept of ppm or ppb they could laugh.
Do people in Nevada get some sort of horrible sickness?
Many people in Nevada seem to suffer from horrible sickness, but it seems to increase the closer you get to Las Vegas. I'm certainly not ruling out a California connection, though.
Good chance they were already affected before they arrived. The southwest was a Mecca for people suffering Consumption (Tuberculosis) back in the day. While there is some dust, perhaps from mining, anything radioactive is probably in eastern Nevada or Utah. In dry air bacteria has a short lifespan. (This is why people may go years without suffering a cold out here.)
California needs to just put out a warning saying that life has been linked to incidences of cancer.
Considerint the number of memorials I see, the gravest cancer threat is melanoma, at least where theres a lot of time spent in the Sun. So, yeah, we have not a cloud for miles today and there are people out there having their DNA halved and quartered without so much as a parisol. That's what we get for not having week upon week of grey clouds.
A mistake would have been using the wrong calibration procedure or something. Deliberately NOT PERFORMING the required calibration and falsifying the report forms is not a "mistake", it is outright FRAUD, and the pig or pigs responsible need to be held responsible.
Of course, that ain't gonna happen here in the United Police States of Amerika...
Well done. Went right over the edge without help from any other sources. Care to cast aspersions on anyone else while you are here?
They didn't follow procedure, that's a command issue - reprimand those in charge, correct the procedure, move forward.
I hope nothing like that happens where you work, I don't think you could handle it.
there are many windows mobile app stores, you can install apps from any source from the phone
That helps. Otherwise I'd credit it as the No. 1 reason not to buy anything Microsoft ever rolls out -- support going whenever they decide it's time. But they, and pretty much everyone else has done that for years. Best reason, still, to be very circumspect about Windows 8 phones.
The past story with khtml webkit, and the recent story about apple-only planned features in CUPS, and the general attitude of big and small commercial entities towards free software, should make people just a little wary.
Simple roadmap for you: If it is within Apple's Patents they are stingy. When it is outside of Apple's Patents they can be very generous.
Anyone want to bet me a dollar they won't give data back? I'll take the first comer.
Think you might be off base here. Apple wants the user experience to be the best, not giving back would make theirs Second Best user experience. I could be wrong, but I think this is only a stepping stone and they'll be behind OSM.
OSM on Geocaching rocks. I just wish the MapquestArial wasn't such a steaming pile.
Eventually intelligent people realize there's something better to do than watch your leet skillz atrophy in prison and find something more constructive to do.
I like your banning idea. works great, but add in 3 strikes and your DL is gone forever! and then people would actully listen and be better.
oh & my supurb driving skills have landed me wins in local races at Infineon raceway, as well as never have been in an accident that was my fault. only been hit once and that dude was drunk.. but i saw him coming and avoided a bad accident to where his car was totaled and I could drive away with my minor rear end damage. i guess those days at the race tracks have paid off.
I'm only guessing, but I'm thinking you weren't on your phone while driving at Infineon.
All it takes is once.
A good friend was runover by a driver, on a street with speed bumps. Speed isn't the only factor in accidents, just provides more kinetic energy. Try navigating a parking lot on Saturday afternoon while on a phone. I find it requires maximum alertness.
I hereby make a motion that everyone immediately and permanently stop work on all controller innovations that do not involve jacking our brains directly into the computer. Who's with me?
Oh, I'm fine with that, it's the pills... THE PILLS!!!
I suffer rare instances where my thumb joint becomes inflamed and sensitive, bout lasting for up to two weeks (you really begin to understand how much you rely upon your thumb at times like this) usually set off by some minor little stress, which I haven't quite indentified. Odd I can lift heavy weights, do all manner of physical labor (shoveling, sawing, hammering, pushing, pulling, lifting, twisting) with no problem, than some little movement sets if off, like picking up a coffee mug.
Whatever happened to eye-motion contollers? That would probably work well.
I dont think talking is going to distract me (but i am well above average in every aspect) . And if you cant talk and drive at the same time, then your license should be taken away. that should be part of all the new driving tests. you have to call and talk to a memeber of your family for 10min while navigating the streets of San Francisco.
I don't care how above average you think you are. My car his been hit by people I'd consider very good drivers, but their attention was divided for just the amount of time necessary where opportunity to smash into my car was present. Nothing asserts reality like standing around waiting for the cops, while an angry motorist is glaring at you for your bone-headed driving distractions you bring upon yourself and ultimately inconvenience you and other unwilling participants.
Really. I've heard it time and again, and there isn't a day goes by around here where someone is hit or hitting. Often in the places you'd think it wouldn't happen - sitting in a stationary vehicle at a light when another ploughs into the back of you.
I'd like to see driving bans for the first offense. Try riding the bus for three months as a reminder it is a privilege, not a right to be able to drive a car.

Everybody knows that everything causes cancer in California.
Says you.

"Err, Opps! there is an error here. Let me check that again"
Suggestion: Use the thing that they breath into, not the RADAR gun.
Gosh. That couldn't happen before *cough* where I work *cough*.

So they consider a 2 Mbps stream to be HD?
Had to cut corners somewhere -- the bill from AT&T would have bankrupted them.
All the kids will be running around with their stupid laser pointers hacking into WoW!
Maybe we need to revisit Analog Computers - they were fast.
Flying Car
Optical Computer
Pay Increase
Not a chance on all three

There's something to be said for celebrity - it get's your messages noticed more often than us ordinary slobs.

So Western Digital can buy Hitachi... but give everything that might possibly have been a competitive advantage away to Toshiba at a low cost?
It's that or move everything to a Thai flood plain. Which would you choose?
Won't this just encourage other companies, or even US companies, to switch to a national domain?
You mean they haven't? I see more domains with .tv .it, whatever, every day. If there were a tld .bm I expect IBM would grab i.bm
And catch lunch at the same time! No more starving musicians!
Must have cost too much to have a coder put [Disable] somewhere, so something could be taken from public view and then reinstated as necessary.

Look for an anime column (under a pseudonym, of course) in the upcoming weeks.
It would be a hoot to see the old editorial cartoons done in anime style, but it would likely be over the head of 90% of the readers.
Olympia, I fail to fathom this reference to your not running for re-election, is it Cowboy Bebob or Bubblegum Crisis?
