And last election, anyone with a D next to their name got in. This election, those Ds that aren't actually Ds have had primary challenges they're going to lose, and get replaced with real D.
What a simpleminded, biased, and totally incorrect worldview.
Those "not a real D's", what some are calling Blue Dog Democrats won their office because they were, in your words, "not real D's" Somehow, you'll have to come to grips with the fact that in many places in the country, Democrats are a distant second choice.
And of course, your claim that "anyone with a D next to their name got in" is silly tending toward stupid. If it was true, the house would be 100% "D"
More than once I've worked at a company which had a policy of not backing up email. A couple times I was the one to suggest it, and the other times it was lawyers suggesting it.
Now these were just companies, I can imagine actual gov't organizations would embrace the idea.
"Big oil" are energy companies. They really don't give a rats ass if they sell you oil or nuclear fusion. "You" arn't even their real customer, but rather the power plants are.
Why not? Food. Even if you keep modern advances in agriculture when the rest of society falls down to caveman status, you would be unable to move food in sufficient quantities to feed these six billion people.
So, keeping agriculture advances or not, billions of cavemen starve to death and you no longer have six billion.
A "gravity powered clock" uses the weights as mechanical energy to power the timing mechanism, the same as a wound spring. This light is converting it to electricity due to the lack of a flywheel light source. So basically to answer your question, the new part is converting the power into an electrical source. Without that, the number of uses for such a gravity/weight system to do useful things is limited.
My mother happens to be a retired clockmaker. Likely one of the last. I've never lived in a house without a grandfather clock.
Someday you'll attend high school and learn that Congress performs legislative functions, such as passing laws. Thus to claim that the single controller of both houses of Congress is powerless is to be in error.
For example, a Democratically controlled congress is about to give retroactive immunity to telecom companies.
If your Senator switched from Republican to Democrat, then what you really did was vote in a "Blue Dog" Democrat. If your Senator didn't switch then you didn't help vote in change anyways.
There is one single distinguishing characteristic between a Blue Dog Democrat and a Centrist (non religious) Republican: One has a D in front of their state, and the other has a R. They're all anti-gun restrictions, all pro-abortion in limited quantities, and like every other politician on the planet more interested in who funds them than who votes for them.

My imagination is broken!
I would be happy funding a fair amount of those shows with tax dollars, since 1) Mostly, it's not my money anyways!
Fixed for you.
ASUS is trying to get Microsoft's help. Your plan does not make that likely.
It will be a non-question unless/until other intelligent life is found. A life filled universe will not contradict any of those religions.

It's just you. You're a crazy conspiracy nutcase.
Are you under some delusion that the Democrats don't like the FCC?
... in order to vote for Lessig for Congress. Not that it's a big move, mind you, I live in Oakland.
It's unfortunate he decided not to run.
You're just simply... nuts.

Exactly as likely as you having an unfortunate accident, because you're a crazy conspiracy nutcase.

Not to mention dying in their thirties and thus putting far less impact on their villages!

You didn't read it.
That's not how the electricity is being generated, rather it is coming from a rotor system.
There would be no functional difference between one 50 pound weight and 5 10 pounds weight, other than in resetting the system.

Some ecoterrorist will get ahold of these and soak up all the CO2 in the atmosphere killing us all!

Sad day in Slashdot when such a comment wholly lacking in insight is moderated in such a manner.

Numbers.
Check.
Please.
Thanks.
There are 51 Democrats in the Senate. 17 voted against this amendment (meaning they voted for telecom immunity).
90% of what now didn't vote for what?
because the Dems are out of power right now
Hi! Welcome to 2008! We understand you've been sleeping since 2004, so some level of confusion on your part is to be expected!

Even identical twins do not have identical fingerprints, they're not entirely determined by genetics. So good luck with your search for a match.
Because nobody can object to Obama without being racist, or Hillary without being sexist!
