Founding Fathers were largely considered to be terrorists by the British.
My personal definition of terrorists is one who targets and attacks civilians.
Hijacking the planes, an act of terrorism. Crashing planes into the Twin Towers, an act of terrorism. Crashing planes into the Pentagon, a legitimate act of war.
Had 9-11 involved a UPS cargo plane being crashed into the Pentagon I would not have called them terrorists.
Bombing of the U.S.S. Cole was not an act of terrorism, it was an act of partisan warfare.
Well, I tend to be out the experts. I've beat every single bubble and bust in the market since I've been of age.
Ironically, every time the so-called experts seemed to be wrong. One other fact I noticed, those so-called experts were usually politically or financially connected.
Lastly, there are thousands of scientists who disagree and question. But it's a hard thing to do, you're likely to lose your career doing so.
Correct me if I am wrong. But as a farmer you might be able to confirm this for me. My understanding is that greenhouses often pump in CO2 for increasing plant growth.
CO2 = beneficial for botany.
And I totally agree, suddenly "environment = CO2", that toxic pesticide, GMOs, waste from making plastic toys in China is unimportant. It's all focused on a tax system for CO2.
This is NOT the environmentalism I grew up believing in.
I've been repeatedly told that deforestation and heat island effect are inconsequential.
Now you say they're two sides of the coin. Before it was inconsequential.
Hmm...what do you think that makes me think? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But it makes me think the climate change (realclimate.org) folks are fucktards lying out their rears.
Seriously, Wikipedia's #1 fault and the reason I ceased actively contributing is that it requires humans to use a mark-up language for what is essentially a simple text based document.
And all such edits would be handled much easier via a WYSWIG editor. Yes, elitist monkeys with far too much time on their hands love that feel of doing something complicated for the sake of it.
Those more intelligent and or beings who have furthered the race through reproduction tend not to want to waste time.
Implement a simple editor that facilitates editing. And let computers do what they do best, process. And humans do what they do best collate ideas and knowledge.
First rule of computers. Don't waste time doing what a computer can do better than you.
Actually, this is probably more of a reason for the Navy's railgun than ship targets.
That said, Titanium is a horrible choice. Way too light. Steel encased lead is better. Depleted uranium even heavier. Uranium waste the BEST. (That way you know they're not going to return to the facility anytime soon.)
Look you're talking about BIG MOTHA BOMBS. And technology that can take a missile in through a window. I think that being within a 10 meter strike zone with such bombs will be ample and sufficient.
Sequential Bombing System.... where a sequence of bombs is dropped concurrently in short succession. (ie: 4-8 bombs in a 60-120 second interval).
But SBS is a lame sounding name. How can that compete with Mother of All Bombs (MOAB)
How about Bombing On Sequence System (BOSS)
Now the BOSS BOMB has a nice Pentagon expenditure feeling way. Essentially the delivery system should transit from the bomber to target via a cruise delivery system. Which would contain 4-8 war heads each about a 1/4 to 1/2 of MOABs size. The delivery unit would circle target while releasing the individual warheads which would each be guided to their target at about 15-30 second intervals. Allowing the first bomb to detonate and blow a crater while the next bomb hits the new exposed area, so on and so on. Tests would need to be completed to determine the amount of time necessary between individual warhead impacts for optimum penetration.

Proposed solution to MOAB. Build big ballon under first layer of protection with lots of vents. When MOAB hits it explodes, but instead of crushing your super secret facilitity (that was obviously not secret enough if it's being bombed), the balloon detonates the bomb early and above and allows the pressure to escape through hundreds of vent area.
Tell them all next week I-xx highway will be closed, as will alternate route xx. The reason is several people were stopped on I-xx driving without a license, and a car theif was caught on Route XX. So both of those roads will be closed to all traffic.
Suddenly, your co-worker should understand the stupidity of SOPA.
"The upside to those years of experience requirements are that every year you work somewhere, you'ree eligable for more and higher-paying jobs, like clockwork. Think of it as job security, since once you're in, you get less and less competition"
Really, I see IT as a much different horse. The field is constantly changing so quickly, one must put constant effort to stay ahead of the wave unlike any other industry. It is much harder to age and advance in IT. You either need to move into management or entrepenuership. If you don't, you are much more likely to start becoming a dinosaur, to be relegated to a support role and then forced into early retirement.
Very few fields have such a constant learning curve.
"The upside to those years of experience requirements are that every year you work somewhere, you'ree eligable for more and higher-paying jobs, like clockwork. Think of it as job security, since once you're in, you get less and less competition"
I think you're attributing something to me that I did not say. And then insulting me for the words you put in my mouth.
Already, there are numerous folk in IT looking for a job. Saying that the solution to unemployment woes is for most people to enter a field that is already hurt (just less hurting than most), is a poor solution. And because of such advice, many will endeavor to enter said field. Further saturating it and making it more of a commodity. Lowering the income point, and eventually making it harder to support yourself in the industry.
There is a history of this. That fields that are seen as the future seldom turn out to in fact be that future proof industry.
A lot of times such song use is in fact licensed. Usually through a licensing company which is contracted with publishing companies to license use.
In otherwords, I as an artist signs with SONY Records. Who contracts with MyPlay music licensing. I who am an event organizer pays MyPlay an annual fee to use any of the songs in their licensed music library. I am then hired by New Gingrich's campaign team.
So Newt pays the event entity who pays the license firm who pays the royalty house who in turn pays the artist.
Then when the artist finds out their song is being used by someone they don't like they decry theft, theft. But usually it's the case that it was licensed, licensed through a complicated chain that is basically how music is licensed in our society.
People who oppose said event side with artist, decrying "them there evil bass tards (fish poop)". Those who side with the other party sit there pondering, it's just how the system works. And it's how the artist gets paid. And if the average whiner self-absorbed artist only licensed their music to people they liked, no one would be able to ever license music because they're constantly offended by everything.
Hence, record labels handle that exericising of rights. Otherwise, artists would receive no license fees and starve to death.
Everything I learned at college, I learned in about 4 classes. 6 if you count the two that taught me to always take undergrad courses from adjunct professors and avoid tenured like the plague.
The real issue is not so much availability of spectrum, but arrangement.
Seriously, look at our cell phone companies, a block here, a block there...
The spectrum needs to be DEFRAGGED.
They should have done this when they moved the TV stations. Across the board, they should have moved radio and numerous other frequencies and established a progressive data focused spectrum.
Then with the idea that certain segments are more open and others more closed. And the basis of communication to determine policy. (ie: broadcast segment[radio, tv, anything sent one way on very long ranges], two way long communication [Ham, digital Ham, military, etc, etc], cellular communication [locale, broadcast area, cell towers, emergency operations, fire, police, etc], short distance communication [kilometer range], personal [wifi, bluetooth, anything new 100 meter range or so]
The idea is that there should be big blocks for given types. And that should be re-evaluated every number of decades.

So us crazy whack-O, "It's not man's CO2 emissions to blame for warming." May in fact be right.
I've argued against man made CO2's effect, but have been very vocal in that I think deforestation is far more to blame for climate change.
Now it looks like you're finally admitting what I've know all along. A little gas is one thing. Chopping down 20% of the rain forest...BIG EFFECT
Have you tried Willet yet? Nice, a little more variety in taste than Woodford but also comes in one of the most beautiful bottles I've ever seen.
And if you like Scotch, try Innis & Gunn (beer). Unbelievable...
Poor analogy.
Place a M80 on a 2"x6" plank. Light it off. Place another one within a centimeter of the first. Light it off. Repeat one or two more times.
Result, you're 2"x6" has been cut in half and object is complete.

I hate when that happens. *sighs*
PS - Thanks for handling it gently.
Not sure we have any bombers that can out run your average modern fighter. And probably none that can outrun an ancient MIG 25.
Why do you think we expend so much $$$ on having the only operating 5th gen fighter?
So we can maintain air superiority and drop bombs out of cargo planes. ;-)
Remember, this is Iran not Soviet Union or marauding scavenging aliens for Will Smith to fight.

Okay, I know, I know...that was REALLY bad. I'll go home and flog myself and follow it up with some Woodford Reserve.
