If I'm not mistaken, the CCTV footage was not as useful... what did help was the one man who took a picture of the bomber (unbeknownst to him at the time), and more importantly, the unfortunate man whose legs were blown off at the knees who valiantly gave an ID from his hospital bed.
This has VERY interesting possibilities for digital forensics as well. I get the feeling that the bluecava guys aren't even aware of that possibility yet. This would allow web interactions to be more thoroughly traced to a particular machine. Given the ability of most companies to put a particular person behind that machine (whether surveillance or electronic controls), suddenly your machine AND your interactions are subject to investigation at any time.
For those of us with "soft" teeth (and you know who you are), this is a REALLY *bad* development! I don't want to re-grow my teeth. In fact, I want to get rid of the originals! I would REALLY like to see advances in implant technology, and a reduction in price. I'd like to have all my teeth replaced. I've already had seven root canals, at least two crowns (with six more on the way) - why can't I just get them all replaced?
(As an aside, most dentists seem to want to "save" teeth. I can't see any reason for this. Furthermore, implants are expensive - to have my 28 teeth replaced at $4k/tooth would cost $112,000. If I had the money I would do it.)
Since Arlington is only 15 minutes from here, I have to wonder what they're doing down there... there are plenty of acorns here in McLean, VA. For that matter, the squirrels have been highly active in this area, and I see them burying acorns all the time. Maybe they've stolen them all from Arlington?
You miss the obvious in your arguments, as most people do. I will only address one, given a limited amount of time.
Where does the money for those bonds come from?
It can come from only two places (since this is government, which does not produce anything).
It comes from taxes, or it comes from the Federal Reserve.
Politicians don't like raising taxes. Therefore, they borrow the money from the Fed for the bonds.
Don't you see the problem there? (I'm guessing you don't, given your arguments.)
The government is borrowing money from the Federal Reserve (which contributes to more debt, as they borrow at interest!) to sell a bond to someone (likely a Chinese person), which they will then have to pay MORE for later. (They have to pay the interest when the bond is redeemed.)
So... to get the money they are "raising", they back it with debt (to the Federal Reserve) and then go into debt to pay for it (as interest, later).
But, you might ask, where does the Fed get the money with which to lend the government?
They create IOUs, which they list as assets. And to whom do they owe the money in the IOU? To the government.
And round and round we go.
And that's where inflation comes from. The Fed essentially prints money.
Read "The Creature From Jekyll Island" some time, and come to the realisation that the rest of us intelligent people have come to - the system is broken and the ignorant such as yourself continue to keep it that way.
(And by the way, in any period where the United States did not have a Central Bank (and that's what the Fed is) did not have boom and bust cycles. All those "boom and bust" cycles you refer to come from the four times when the nation created a central bank.)
You're obviously not following the primaries very well.
Ron Paul got 14% of the votes in Nevada. (14 is a double-digit number.) He came in second.
Ron Paul got 18% of the votes in Louisiana. (18 is a double-digit number, and almost 20%!) He came in second. There are issues in Louisiana, and it may turn out that he actually polled higher there.
You may be annoyed by us, but we are here to stay. Every post where you post erroneous statements will be corrected. Freedom and personal liberty is the only true path on which the self-governed can take themselves. Eventually, everyone will learn that!
Oh, and that "base that contributes money"? Ron Paul was the #1 GOP fund-raiser last quarter. (Note I said "fund-raiser". Not "self-donater". Take away Romney's contributions to himself and he didn't get that much.) He has spent more in Super Tuesday states than all the other candidates. He has more cash on hand than everyone except Romney (again, because Romney is using his personal fortune). A candidate that you yourself says "has no chance" has more chance of staying in the race than both McCain and Huckabee! Furthermore, the more people that learn about him (and this dedicated army is teaching at every chance they get) the more people like him.
Americans are largely sick of the system as it's being run. Sure, the sheeple will vote McCain or Hillary, but those with forethought will come to realise just how excellent a candidate Ron Paul is, and just how much this country needs him.
While this does happen naturally (as in this story), scientists have also found a way to "force" this to occur by also transferring bone marrow of the donor to the recipient at the same time as the organ:
I remember making poking fun at the Canucks on alt.geek and mentioning how their money couldn't buy much... now that wouldn't work! Pretty soon the US will be importing Poutine...
The article talks of local power plants that could be used to provide electricity without it having to be distributed on the grid, effectively closing the system and making it substantially more efficient. Efficiency with the aluminum should come as the technology matures.
This is a significant breakthrough, not because it enables the hydrogen economy (which is important), but because it makes it a more closed system. In their scenario, the aluminum and gallium are recyclable and more importantly *reusable*. It means that filling stations could exchange your car's waste products for recycled waste products from your neighbour's car. Granted, this has costs. Right now, the costs seem to be the prohibitive factor, but hopefully adoption of the technology will lower them, as it does with most new technologies.
Bringing up the Mayan Calendar, and the sun's various cycles, is a book called "Apocalypse 2012". (Not an affiliate link.) It's not as dire as the title might sound, though the author (Lawrence E. Joseph) does explore some of the various issues with that date. One concept he examines is that as the solar system moves around the galactic center, the earth has been shielded from various radiations it will no longer be shielded from after that date.
"Broadcating" (sic) is not an invention. People do it all the time when they yell.
Marconi was granted a patent on the radio, which was later reversed. Anyone who is familiar with the history of the time knows that while he may have done some good things, he was usurping the ideas of others whom he refused to acknowledge and one of whom rightly got his due from the US Supreme Court later.

Yes, I understand... but it's a specious analogy to make. That's like saying that the radar wasn't really invented until there were planes for it to track, or the TV wasn't invented until there were a million households from which to gather ratings.
Tesla was using "wireless" almost two decades before Marconi, et al. He used it to power unmanned submarines at the World's Fair in 1896. He used it to transmit electricity! To say that it was "invented" by others just because they had a few people listening on the other end does a great disservice (and one that continues to this day, 60 years later!) to a man whose genius far outshines anything that Marconi or any of the other copycats could come up with.
Even if you go on the basis of the article's premise that you're only dealing with "broadcast radio", there is evidence that Tesla accomplished the same thing before Marconi and Fessenden. However, due to the inventor's unfortunate lack of documentation by his own hand and his inability to focus his efforts at properly lauding his own accomplishments a lot of the time, the world may never know...
Nikola Tesla demonstrated "wireless" communication (which became known as "radio") as early as 1893. In 1943, the Supreme Court declared that Tesla had invented the radio, not Marconi. I'm afraid this celebration is about thirteen years too late...

If you look at the data section, you'll see that there are over 40 users. While it does appear that the majority are female (I'm too lazy to count), it would actually *make sense* to test with more females than males, since most of the designers/coders would be male. That way they get a view point that they wouldn't ordinarily see themselves.
