That's funny, I thought they were the FAA's and TSA's rules. Last I checked, the corresponding websites both had.gov after them. I've never heard Continental tell me a damn thing about carry-ons beyond the weight/dimensions.
That's freaking brilliant. Even if it cost the same, I bet it would be massively more popular. Even if it wasn't, it would be fine with me to avoid all the hassles. Airline security is the equivelant of staring at the spot in the ground in front of you, tapping it with your fingers, then with something heavier, before finally deciding to put your foot there. Sure, it might crumble out from under you, but we can't spend our whole lives worrying about things that are very unlikely to happen, plus it does nothing to protect you from the falling piano.
People took their own security personally throughout history.. only recently has society decided that it's someone else's job to make them "safe." Sure, it's nice to have backup, but that's all government is -- backup. If you're completely helpless (and not handicapped), you're part of the problem.
Because looking at "private parts" is an invasion of privacy, by definition!
Also we're all secretly still in 5th grade and can't be mature about seeing the words penis or vagina, let alone the actual organs.. at least inside the US borders.
Actually, the chemical toxicity of uranium is much higher than the radioactive toxicity, and it would take a lot of the stuff to make you sick.
The kidney is apparently relatively resistant to the potential toxic effects of uranium, and relatively high intakes are required before any signs of chemical toxicity occur. Indeed, before the discovery and availability of insulin, uranium was used therapeutically for the treatment of diabetes; relatively high doses were administered by mouth to patients, but there were no reports of kidney toxicity.
Finally, it bears mention that uranium is only poorly absorbed from the gut, so even if a large dose is swallowed, only about 1% or so will be absorbed--sort of a natural protective mechanism against potential toxic effects on the kidney.
No. As you may recall, Apple had a power adapter safety recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission back in the G3 era, and a battery recall last year.
This was solved years ago. You can reduce any amount of data to a binary 1. Simply write a program which replaces all occurances of 1 with the data in question.
The other huge boon to this is for the state. Imagine if you could see traffic trends by the minute covering trends over months. You could quickly identify dangerous traffic areas, distractions, traffic quirks, and all sorts of oddities that could be engineered around to reduce injuries, fatalities, and expenses.
Well that's the best case, but I'd find it much more likely that the state would look for stretches of road where the average speed exceeds the speed limit, aka "areas of potential revenue and quota filling."
It suprises me that The Daly Show and The Colbert Report can find guests anymore, you would think the popularity of these shows would "spoil the joke" at some point.
It's not that they can find guests that surprises me, but rather that the guests are sometimes caught off guard. To be fair, most of the guests nowadays are completely prepared for the lampooning, and it's more of a back-and-forth exchange in good sport.

This may come as a surprise, but Diet Coke is not sticky because -- and keep this on the DL -- it contains no sugar.

Good work. You only missed 4 out of 6.
/. ID?
1) (Hint, his is the first for most people with a threshold over 2 anyway)
3) Did you see his
4) He "posted a bunch of old buzzwords that realign synergistic paradigm shifts."
5) He managed to actually say nothing.
Mr. Gore may be catty, but he is not, in fact, a feline.

Then the probability of pressing any given key would quickly approach 100%.
How are they furthering the cause of encouraging new music creation?
The same way the top-level players of MMORPGs encourage new players to keep playing -- by existing.
Envy is a great motivator!
Since one's philosophy is best indicated by one's actions, we can assume that they were just lyrics, as the above poster stated.
Why didn't they follow Apple's lead and call it DirectXX?
Obviously the 10th point revision would be DirectXXX.
Eloquence is technically a characteristic of speech, not writing.
Not to mention the [blink]Guru Meditations[/blink].
Is this a new problem?
No. As you may recall, Apple had a power adapter safety recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission back in the G3 era, and a battery recall last year.

That's ELEPHANTS. Computers in ELEPHANTS have tripled in the past 6 months. Get it right.
I am not sure there are many spywares that go to these lengths.
Yet.
It's not that they're driving more slowly, it's just that they don't drive in straight lines, so it takes them a little longer to get there.
If you can afford a car that does 185, a speeding ticket probably isn't something you're particularly worried about.

What's with the Northwest Florida Daily News links to what are really just AP stories? This makes 2 in as many days...
