They also think we tend to make a bigger deal of things than we ought and their country is just fine thank you very much.
Hmm. I guess that explains, for instance, why so many Americans are emigrating to China while so few Chinese are emigrating to the US.
Americans feel the overwhelming urge to tell others how they ought to live and behave.
There's a big difference between telling people how they ought to live, and, say, locking people up (or shooting them) for asking to live the way they want to, or keeping people from leaving a country and living somewhere else, or...
So you think The Daily Show will suddenly stop making fun of the president as soon as a Democrat gets elected? I believe they will make fun of whoever is in power and making the most blatent mistakes.
Sure they will. Remember, TDS first aired around halfway through the Clinton Administration. And they didn't pull punches back then, any more than they do now. Clinton got his share, and so will the next (hopefully not Republican) President.
Seriously, what is the big deal? Admittedly, I don't know all of the potential concerns, but in terms of a nice juicy steak does it really matter if the cow is cloned?
That's right.
"You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? (Takes a bite of steak) Ignorance is bliss."
Umm... this is a slightly different scale of power generation. Those ships and submarines which are nuclear powered have really small reactors. The power (and more importantly pressure) generated in a small Navy sub reactor is "small" compared to this beast. We're talking about TWO full scale reactors on a barge.
The Westinghouse A4W reactor (of which there are two on a Nimitz-class carrier) puts out about 100 MW. So just one of these would nearly match the output of the Russian barge.
Keep reading. The article says that a relativistic solution to that estimation indicates 138 is the heaviest.
It doesn't say that, either. It says that 138 would be the heaviest element that could have 1s electrons. So maybe all elements higher than 138 can exist only as positive ions...?
Sovereign nations have the right to live under their own ideals (within reasonable limits of egregious crimes against humanity, of course) even if they disagree with ours.
And we're allowed to have our own opinions about that, aren't we? So what's wrong with someone expressing their opinion about it?
What make us so arrogant to think that because our stuff, like freedom of information, works so well for us, that it would for them or that they would even want it at all?
So freedom isn't good? You'd prefer not to be free? Well, that's up to you I suppose, but don't get any on me.
As a silly analogy, imagine two cars strapped to each other versus a single car with dual engines but lots of shared components where it makes sense to do so. The one that actually had some engineering and design behind it will likely make better use of resources, rather than the ad-hoc, bolted-together solution.
Meanwhile, Intel got their two-cars-strapped-together out first, thus meeting the needs of some people who might've needed a solution like this, and will have a huge market lead on AMD by the time they get around to releasing Barcelona.
As a radio amateur (old school, 20 words per minute Morse), I would be very happy to key in my password entirely on the "J" key.

Why Software Sucks

...because the market tolerates it. As long as millions of people are clearly willing and eager to spend billions of dollars on software that sucks, why bother developing software that doesn't?
To each his own, I suppose. I wouldn't take an 87% raise to live in the boonies. (On the other hand, I wouldn't want to have to live right in the big city, either. I'll keep my suburban sprawl, with Manhattan an hour's train ride in one direction and the Hamptons an hour-and-a-half drive in the other direction.)
Why not instead create a regulatory body that sets the maximum price at which gasoline can be sold? This is how we determine what PG&E can charge customers, how is gasoline different?
PG&E (or substitute your favorite utility here) is regulated because it is a government-granted and -empowered monopoly. Oil companies are not. There's this thing called private enterprise, maybe you've heard of it? Do you also plan to create a regulatory body to control the price of chewing gum?

But seriously -- how do YOU think small towns should get services like broadband, water-purification plants, sewer systems, and whatnot?
They could form a cooperative. They don't need to get the government involved.

It does not go past me that you are named smithmc.
Agent Smith, I presume?
It gets better. A year ago, I bought a house from a guy named... Mr. Anderson.

Sigh, yet another know-it-all who's never listened to Stern for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Maybe you didn't RFA. I counted 5 separate manufacturers who were bothered to support ogg.
Whoopy-doo. A whole *five*, eh? Only one of which is even remotely a household name? In my book, that approximates to "no manufacturer support".
Earth, Air, Fire, Water... What's the fifth one?
Caffeine.
I think you're quintessentially right, but the film was really not THAT good.
But Ms. Jovovich really is THAT hot.

It's like people that think that Hawaii was part of US in time of Pearl Harbor.
Hawaii was part of the US in 1941, it just wasn't a state.
Sometimes you gotta take the love you can get I guess.

MacArthur's Inchon landing was a good example of how to flank fixed lines.

Right on the western border of Suffolk, actually, but you get the idea.
I took an 87% pay cut to move to the boonies.

If this thing had some sort of note-taking capability it would be killer.
