Non-profits can frequently employ volunteers with limited skill sets like interpersonal skills and empathy and are sometime very attractive to strongly Narcissistic personalities. Then add into the mix some aspies who are superman technically but naive socially, some parolees from the halfway house and a couple of work-study interns from the mental-health and you have a pretty volatile mixture of personalities that would tax the best of managers.

They mount them on hinges and have rollers for tire contact when turning the wheels sharply, how about a Honda Civic getting 95 mpg (US) at 65 mph and Cd that tested out to be around 0.17, to make up for the inconvenience. I know the car is butt ugly, but that mostly due to the use of coroplast and duct tape instead of foam and fiberglass body work.
That's only needed for outside communication, internally things like UUCP, Unix to Unix Copy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet">FidoNet would work internally for email and good old Usenet would also be handy as hell.

Honestly considering the state of the infrastucture in Cairo, I'd be amazed if dialup got past 14.4 Kbaud, mine never got past 33.4 and usually connected at 28.8 in Michigan. now the telephone lines in are what costs for dialup rather than the data. As far as popping a cap in Hosni Mubarak's happy ass, I don't see any possible replacements that wouldn't be worst, no sense in replacing a secular dictator with a religious dictator.
I'll worry about that when the iguanas stop falling out of the tress stupefied because of the cold and the manatees stop huddling around the power plant coolant discharge pipes to keep warm.
I assumed that when they said "males with shortened life span" they meant not that the males and only the males had a shortened lifespan but that it's offspring would irregardless of their sex have shortened life spans and then non-infectious species would out reproduce them in the wild.
I'd consider Requiring at least a chauffeur's license and commercial insurance for vehicle over 2750 lbs or body on frame construction or reasonable equivalent and be done with it. You'd really kill them if you made commercial class vehicle park in the boonies of the Walmart parking lot and restricted them from the HOV lanes with out a CDL.
“Drivers concerned about a low charge level in their car – perhaps headed home after work – will now be confident about coming to Montclair for a meeting or a dinner date,” added Environmental Coordinator Gray Russell. “They can simply pull into our downtown parking lot, plug their electric car into the charge point, and go to their meeting, dinner, or movie (or all three). Coming back, they’ll find their car charged up – and their “Smart Card” account automatically debited for the electricity use – without even having to fumble for change.” Township Wins Grant for Electric Car Charging Stations
When people figure out that they can sell electricity to automobile and actually make some money doing it, it'll start happening. Diesels and Diesel hybrids is the way to go for most people, their image in the US is the biggest hold back for them.
Keynesian economics has been proven not to work. Even JFK understood this.
I'm not sure Keynesian economics has ever been properly applied since the Great Depression, the way I understand it if the money is deflated, government deficits will inflate it, if the money is inflated, raising taxes and paying down the debt deflates it, and like now if inflation is flat then the government should be operating with a balanced budget. When was the last time you saw anything like that happening? Usually the Polis do exactly the opposite of what they should be, such as Carter's spending and double-digit inflation.
Well that's the point of the study, the ISPs are starting to throttle netflix, it's unlikely to change as long as a Democrat is at the helm and they are saving metric boatloads of money streaming rather the using the USPS. The ISPs are thinking if netflix used to spend Millions on postage from delivery and we're now doing the delivery, shouldn't they pay us millions now? To counter this Netflix is trying to shame the ISPs by making their poor performance public. To be honest I just changed from Comcast cable internet to AT&T DSL and the DSL feels like the Cable during prime-time for have the price, pretty much like the graph shows.
Pickups really suck in the sloppy conditions, the weight distribution is way front heavy. If you don't have 4wd or a half ton in the bed you just sit and spin.
Nothing like doing 90 and having the guy in the fast lane fly past you like you were standing still.
Try the Autobahn where there is a line of cars flying past you in the fast lane on the left as you notice the red dot in front of you in the right lane is a farm tractor hauling a load of manure and your going 90!
The crosswind performance may surprise you, the lines look very clean and a low coefficient of drag appears very likely. The windshield wipers are tucked in tight and they are using cameras instead of drag inducing side-view mirrors. This car is going to be very slippery so winds will not bother it as much as you'd think.
The photo looks like either a two or a two and a two quarter seater, God help anyone in the back seats older than 10 years old. the electric motor and Li Ion battery should make the acceleration quite a bit better than you'd expect from a sub 40 Hp diesel too.
you know it just occurred to me that if mixing nickel, hydrogen and electricity generates fusion then the NIH batteries in the Energizer bunny should go thermonuclear!
FTA "They note that no radiation escapes due to lead shielding, and no radioactivity is left in the cell after it is turned off, so there is no nuclear waste." Yeah right that alone set off my Hookey-meter,
For example, hydrogen rich materials are often used to shield against neutrons, since ordinary hydrogen both scatters and slows neutrons. This often means that simple concrete blocks or even paraffin-loaded plastic blocks afford better protection from neutrons than do far more dense materials. After slowing, neutrons may then be absorbed with an isotope which has high affinity for slow neutrons without causing secondary capture-radiation, such as lithium-6. Neutron
If these guys are really using lead shielding and have had "one reactor has been running continuously for two years, providing heat for a factory", their kids are going to look like Blinky the three eyed fish swimming in the lake behind the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
Giuseppe Levi, a nuclear physicist from INFN (Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics), helped organize last Friday’s demonstration in Bologna. Levi confirmed that the reactor produced about 12 kW and noted that the energy was not of chemical origin since there was no measurable hydrogen consumption. Levi and other scientists plan to produce a technical report on the design and execution of their evaluation of the reactor.
which considering E=mc^2, and the "thingy" is putting only putting out 12.4 Kw thermal, you would expect the hydrogen consumption to be minuscule if it was indeed nuclear. A chemical reaction putting out 12.4 Kw thermal would definitely consume measurable amounts of hydrogen. I'm not sure what they are actually doing but it's interesting, if nothing else it's like watch a stage magician and trying to figure out how he fooled you into seeing something impossible.
A melting Greenland ice sheet contributes to sea level rise, which has occurred at a mean rate of about 1.8 millimeters per year over the past century. If the Greenland ice sheet were to melt completely it would raise sea levels by 7 meters. But that is unlikely to happen for several centuries at least.,a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/103746/20110121/greenland-ice-sheets-melting-faster.htm">Greenland Ice Sheets Melt At Record Rate In 2010
Well if we can't adapt to the worst case scenario of 1.8 mm / century ( as in 100 years) or a scorching 4.93 *10^-13 Km/hr of vertical sea-level rise then perhaps we really do deserve the Darwin award. What hubris we have to even propose that we can even measure a rate of change that small with any degree of certainty. Even the article blamed factors like Reduced snow cover on the ice fields and black soot deposits as factors, the first most likely a long-term weather phenomena rather than a short-term climatic phenomena and the second is do to human habitation not climate.
Allodial title constitutes ownership of real property (land, buildings and fixtures) that is independent of any superior landlord. In common legal use, allodial title is used to distinguish absolute ownership of land by individuals from feudal ownership, where property ownership is dependent on relationship to a lord or the sovereign. Webster's first dictionary (1825 ed) says "allodium" is "land which is absolute property of the owner, real estate held in absolute independence, without being subject to any rent, service, or acknowledgment to a superior. It is thus opposed to "feud."
True allodial title is rare, with most property ownership in the common law world—primarily, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland—described more properly as being in fee simple. In particular, land is said to be "held of the Crown" in England and Wales and the Commonwealth realms. In England, there is no allodial land, all land being held of the Crown; in the United States, all land is subject to eminent domain by the federal government, and there is thus no true allodial land. Some states within the US (notably Nevada and Texas) have provisions for considering land allodial under state law, but such land remains rare. Some of the Commonwealth realms (particularly Australia) recognize native title, a form of allodial title that does not originate from a Crown grant. Some land in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, known as Udal land, is held in a manner akin to allodial land in that these titles are not subject to the ultimate ownership of the Crown. Allodial title
There are certain terms and phrases that tend to get people held in Contempt of Court such and "Allodial Land Title" and "Admiralty and Maritime Law" are two of them. Even admitting to knowing of them publicly can get you branded as an Extremest Right-wing Whacko and a danger to civilized society; we serfs mustn't know we're Serfs and all of that!
Bingo, you can own certain property rights, but actually owning the property in the US is very rare, Black's Law Dictionary defines:
Allodium. Land held absolutely in one's own right, and not of any lord or superior; land not subject to feudal duties or burdens. An estate held by absolute ownership, without recognizing any superior to whom any duty is due on account thereof.
Allodial. Free; not holden of any lord or superior; owned without obligation of vassalage or fealty; the opposite of feudal.
Land held in allodium is called allodial. Black's says in part that allodial is the "opposite of feudal." Black's defines feud in part:
Feud. An estate in land held of a superior on condition of rendering him services. An inheritable right to the use and occupation of lands, held on condition of rendering services to the lord or proprietor, who himself retains the property in the lands. [synonymous with...] "fief", or "fee".
So if you don't have an Allodial Land Title, you don't own it. In Hawaii if your not native Hawaiian all your going to get is a 99 year lease.
What happens when people that have to connect to you are involuntarily IPv6 and your still dragging your feet in the hinterlands of IPv4? Now your customers and partners are having to jump through hoops to interact with you and possibly don't have to with your competitors. Soon not being on native IPv6 will be like not have an 800 telephone number, the big question is how long soon will be.

No most pickups are now 4wd for that reason, so the problem now is keeping the rear wheels behind the front wheels when you try to stop the truck.
Pickups really suck in the sloppy conditions, the weight distribution is way front heavy. If you don't have 4wd or a half ton in the bed you just sit and spin.
How about covered front wheels; eco-modders are doing that.
