And you lost me the second you started ripping Obama over this. This shit has Cheney's fingerprints all over it. Bush was just the tool.
What's most disturbing is the economic spying. I want to know who it's being given to. That there would be proof that corporations have subverted the government for their own profits.
What's interesting is that all the metals on the planet if entirely molten could be found and siphoned off from orbit if we had the technology to do so. It would be like guessing the layers of an onion more or less. Gold and other metals would be at certain depths based on their weights compared to others.
Robots will replace every human working in fast food eventually so what do you do to employ tens of millions of people put out of work? Look at the millions without jobs now. Even in IT a lot of automation has reduced the need for more IT engineers and to save money they are making us do more with less which forces is to rely more on automation. Robots will also evemtually replace surgeons and could replace lawyers too and so you and up with a broad swath of skill levels without jobs or money. Some sections of our society will just decide to kill the constitution and lock people up in dorms to keep these jobless out of the eye of those or we can free people to turn their attention to things that interest them. Things that they could not focus on before. Think scientist who did not have to worry about money or resources. Google manna chapter 1 and read it.
For once a scientist has possibly developed a system where were not boiling water. In reality we have never left the steam age as even our most technologically advanced fusion reactors are nothing but steam generators in the end. Here we have something that can finally produce direct electricity in usable currents (Yes there are beta batteries but they're radioactive).
Airlines the the most doomed industry unless this is brought into commercial production, because eventually fuel will become too expensive and this may be the only viable alternative capable of producing enough thrust energy. Cause there's no way they will use nuclear reactors like the military tried in the 60's.
Monsanto knows their genetic patent is being spread by bees, and yet either nobody is correctly arguing this in court or nobody cares. If someone sued on that issue alone Monsanto's patents would be declared invalid long ago. All these farmers who have had bee by plantings of monsanto's seeds into their crops would be owed a lot of money.
I know we keep looking for smaller and smaller bits of an atom, but if the neutron exhibits this behavior then Gravity as a weak force could be explained. If all the neutrons in a object were phasing in and out of our universe then their gravity impact on the object would be limited to the total neutrons and the force they can exert on the object while they exist in our dimension. Other parts of atoms do have mass, but this is interesting.
Have him apply at Verizon wireless. The only company I know where a person can have a completely unrelated degree and get into a high level position without any serious experience.
Sun like stars, what composition are they, their ages, binary systems etc.
I would be curious if they could say what their rotational speeds were compared to our Sun, if these super flare stars have high rotational speeds it could provide enough twisting to create these.
The hot planet theory would mean the mass of the planet had to be high enough and the distance close enough that the gravity center was inside the star to stir it up enough I would think. The idea that some teleconnection or alignment could cause these to flare is okay, but another possibility is that a rocky planet with a mass of jupiter could be inside the flare as well hence not seeing it, or it's speed and the timing of the flare means it's gone around by the time the flare explodes.
Not true, the sun gets about 1% brighter every million years so if we move away slowly then maybe that counteracts the increase in light output.
There's a theory out there that believes as the sun loses mass the planets move away slowly, so perhaps by the time the sun is a red giant, we would be far enough away to not get toasted.
Other than suburbanites how on earth is Facebook going to appeal to those who might want to live elsewhere. I can get having the "Marketing" people there despite Zuckerberg's aversion to marketing in the early days. However technical staff and coders probably would like to live in an area that appeals to everything that NYC can not provide. Places like Boulder Colorado, Austin Texas, Seattle come to mind.
Its basically a credit report about your work history, and unfortunately the employee can not see what's listed in there because they do not fall under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
So it's entirely possible "Fired for Unionization" could be listed in there and you would not be able to do anything about it, and employers will not show you this information when they pull things up on you. So you could be a Sr Engineer and they list your title as Engineer, and you apply for another job elsewhere claiming your Sr Engineer and they will just call you a liar and move on to the next person.
The last two climate satellites were lost due to "Launch Failures". One which was supposed to measure global carbon emissions at the highest resolution to date. I guess this one was not much of a threat to those who deny climate change.
First any engineer they try to hire may just balk at having to live in such a small town. There are far bigger metro areas with good rates for electricity in the intermountain west that can provide 80% air cooling a year. Colorado Springs comes to mind where Walmart is considering building a Datacenter, and Verizon Wireless, Fedex, HP, and a few others already have facilities there as well, the cost of living is much cheaper compared to silicon valley or New York. I sure hope for their sake this small town is not far from Portland. Takes a special person to want to work in a town that small.
FWIW, data centers employ less than 100 people in most cases once it's built out, with small increases per 10000 sqft think 1-2 more people to cover the added workload. Considering the company involved, they will probably have a skeleton crew of facilities folks and a few engineers to handle the "Hands On" work. The rest will be taken care of remotely.
And in most cases these people just got sold out to facebook in the form of massive Tax breaks for facebook, that will not reduce the tax burden of the people who lived there. I think Colorado Springs is throwing millions in tax incentives to Walmart just to attract the business, not sure how a town of 10,000 could afford such large tax breaks, so hopefully it works out for them.
It actually also prevents them from undercutting prices period. So if TW offers 5/1 for 50 dollars, the city can not offer anything for less. Which allows TW to set prices as it sees fit.
The Republicans scream free enterprise and small government, when they get voted in, they build regulatory walls to benefit the incumbents, and do this through invasive government regulations that are exactly like the "OMG BIG GOVERNMENT IS TEH EVIL!" statements they cast out every time someone says something about business.
It's also bad for jobs, the city could generate jobs with a fiber build out, and a maintenance crew to take care of it when it's build, but alas, that's not going to happen. Perdue just cost the state millions of dollars in investment and restricted rural communities and outlying suburban areas to slow crappy broadband. Worse is that tech companies will see this and look elsewhere to invest, such as places that have actual high speed broadband.
This is about the dumbest think I have heard. Explain to me how you will power external devices through a fiber optic link? Just like USB and Firewire I do not have to carry around a bunch of extra plugs just to power something. Copper is just fine for 10G, and you're not going to get any more speed out of Fiber, but maybe you can sell people a fiber cleaner every time a piece of dust gets in the way, along with a cable management solution for all those extra power cords that would be needed.
I think it was reported that the majority of these reactors in the US are beyond their design lifetimes. Unfortunately capitalism says dont replace, keep using it, and take the risk.
The broader question is, can we afford to have a major chunk of the US off limits for hundreds of years?
They've been around for a very long time, and made money before we had advanced cookies that track you. It's become really stupid, visit one product website, and everywhere you go you're bombarded with ads on any other site with an ad engine.
It can be fun though. Go on a friends computer and google something embarassing, click on an ad, and close the browser. Then your buddies browser will show those ad's every time he's on.

Neither is a 79 billion broken fighter program. No outrage there though.

Just another no daylight slam.

I'm sorry I lost you when that shit about democrats buying votes came out of your mouth. Care for a mint?

Go look at the credits of most movies and you'll see technicolor in the credits.
Most warner bro's cartoons IE Bugs Bunny had a huge technicolor logo at the beginning.
However I fail to see what Apple owes them, were not talking about celluloid patents here anymore, this is digital.

There are 3 asteroids in that picture if you look to the right of the one the arrow points out.
Lets not forget Apple may report into http://www.theworknumber.com/index.asp

I believe NC is a red state. And she's probably a Democrat in name only.
