Regardless whether you love or hate the man, you do have to admit it is an effective way to deal with unfriendly media.
Pretty much anyone who cares to count comes up with the same conclusion. In fact, looking through the articles, you'll see that the ratio is even more skewed than 2:1.
I know you are being sarcastic. But according to what I've read, firearm murders by Democrats outnumber those from Republicans 2 to 1.
Either way, the guy was a Bernie Sanders supporter. I wonder what he'd have done had he know that it was DNC shenanigans that kept Bernie from getting the nomination - and probably the presidency. (re: Wikileaks)

If I remember correctly, cost-plus basically says that the government will pay the costs of fixing the overruns (labor, materials, etc) but the company does not get any additional profit/fee. This allows a bid to be closer to reality, rather than each bid having to be padded to make up for eventual mistakes. It also gives the government a way to alter requirements without the company taking them to the cleaners for the contract mods.
(Dec 2007) This week, after reviewing his own new data, NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: "At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions."
I suppose you can argue that that since he used the word "could" rather than "shall", it make his statements null and void. But they sure sounded scary at the time.
I neither wear a watch nor carry any time-keeping device. The world is saturated with time-keeping devices these days. Clock in my vehicle, gui shows time, microwave oven clock when not near the computer. Seriously don't need one. Sorry to spoil someone's desire to sell more product.
Really? That sounds like a terrible idea. I'm very familiar with Lexan (polycarbonate). I have it on the roof of my screen porch, and as an insert for my garage door. I agree that it is very impact resistant.
But for panel covers: 1: It is very expensive, and would nearly double the cost of the panel 2: Mounting it would be a hassle, and not compatible with the very nice panel mounting hardware that everyone is using now 3: It can't handle the acids that come from trees, rain, etc. After 5 years, you can't even see through the ones on my porch. 4: Even when brand new, you lose about 12% of light transmission. Probably more when it has the necessary UV protection layer. 5: It scratches easily, which prohibits any methods we use to brush the snow off. 6: It is difficult to clean. You can only use mild cleaners, and you risk scratching it. And bird poop doesn't wash off as easily as with glass. 7: It can't handle temperature changes. When it gets cold (well below freezing), Panels made of Lexan warp. 8: It can't handle hail very well. My porch roof didn't break, but it does have marks where the hail hit it.
If Lexan were any good for solar panels, the manufacturers would all be using it. Same goes for windows.
With all due respect, I think you are bullshitting us and making this story up as you go.
Secondly, in a hail-prone area, you use appropriate protection with the panels. It hailed all over my panels last year, big hail, too, and there's not a scratch on any of them.
About 4-5 years ago, I lost 2 of my panels to softball-sized hail. But they were 23 year old (Arco) panels. Newer panels are built to withstand a much bigger hit.
I've never heard of "appropriate protection" for panels that spend their life facing the sky. Best protection I had was my insurance policy. The same storm also dented the hell out of my steel roof.

Anyone who has worked for a company that undergoes management change or merger/buyout is familiar with this -- especially in R&D. It's commonplace to have to justify your job, and also commonplace to get a new boss that doesn't understand or agree with what you are doing. Your new boss may be an idiot and your work may be the holy grail. It doesn't matter. Best you can do is make a good argument as to why your work should continue or how it can be adapted. Meanwhile, start looking at career alternatives. Sorry snowflake, there is no tenure in the working world. And refusing to communicate with the new boss leaves the new boss no choice but to get rid of you.
Bickering aside about who did the cheating, can we all just agree on two things? 1: Shitcan the electronic voting machines and stick with something that's verifiable. Perhaps, the paper ballets that we've already been using for a long time. 2: Require a verifiable ID to vote. At least, something as good as what is required to buy a beer.
If not, then can we point our fingers at the people who object to the above?
Kudos to EditorDavid for posting some interesting articles, rather than trolling political fight bait. I was about to give up on/., but maybe there's hope.

In that case, unless you are using your phone as an MP3 player, you may as well just turn it off. Then you'll get even better battery life.

75kb floppies and the ability to write an infinite loop without draining my university account for cpu time. It was a big deal at the time.
An other article from today calls Trump a genius.

+1 They must have already blown through many times their $120k goal. Two years of R&D can add up.
I wonder if they are just using kickstarter as cheap advertisement for their target demographic.

Sorry, no mod points. But this is +1 interesting - regardless of who you voted for.
See above for why I advocate for the elimination of AC posts, and the addition of an ignore option.
"If you like your car/motorcycle/doctor, you can keep your car/motorcycle/doctor"
The only caveat is that you'll not be allowed to use them in the unclogged lanes, which are reserved for people who behave the way we want them to.
I'm waiting for an autonomous demolition derby. That might be interesting.

Perhaps NASA should spent more time actually trying to figure out how to get back to the moon rather than chasing old bags around.
Ms. Carlson takes offense to being called an "old bag".
