If your wife is having a baby, or your kid ate drano or you're out in the woods and your friend just put a hatchet through his foot, make sure you call for an ambulance and wait patiently, citizen. If they are too slow/late, maybe you can sue somebody for the death.
Sounds like typical legislation from an inbred bunch of former lawyers to me.
Googling here and there when we got the Prius, we decided to get snow tires for winter. 42 is about where we've been in winter between dragging those things around and keeping the car warm. Assuming that average is a company average including trucks and vans, I would say 42 mpg is a very "good faith" goal that will have to include some two-seater smart cars and electrics in the mix.
Yup. Close only counts in horse shoes. Gives a new definition to "long pig" although "bush meat" would probably be a more accurate term for primate consumption.
Crops? Space colonists would want to enhance these proteins in _themselves_. Think of the radiation on Mars. Maybe -- what are the side effects? Inquiring science fiction writers will want to know.
You know it _is_ possible he was just suggesting a pleasant alternative. Yes, I have one McDonalds several blocks closer, but, living in a metro, I have a Panera within a couple miles in two directions. And one of those is our choice by a wide, wide margin of pleasantness on several parameters.
You think? Sure, I believe linux will take over the desktop but I'm not even crazy enough to think building a hydrogen distribution system can overcome the momentum of the existing electrical grid. And it isn't even an energy source as such. Always seemed delusional to me.
Seems to me it's a balance of techniques. I always think of the discussion of whether apartheid South Africa was "fascist". After all, the homeland reservations weren't death camps, as such, and people only now and then "slipped in the shower" or "jumped out the police station fifth floor window" or got dumped in the ocean alive from planes. But a whole lot of fascist characteristics were present in the society without death camps.
South Africa relied on force nonetheless. Hell, they outlawed television until the '70s. It was only in the very last years that they really understood the brilliance of Wall Street propaganda and started putting up billboards of socially-rising, affluent Soweto residents drinking the popular wine brands. Such billboards imply, of course, that if you aren't a socially-rising citizen, you're a loser and a malcontent, not a "freedom fighter."
We should be familiar with such daily propaganda in America. We invented it, and Americans are awash in the local product. Every time I see an American flag in a trailer court or row house window it makes me want to cry. Why do you need police with machine guns when a significant percentage of the population believe everything Rush Limbaugh, or the evening news, or their newspaper, or NPR tells them? That's the American way. Enslave the mind first. The rest of the culture, much less police weaponry, is secondary. _If_ we started seeing machine guns on every street corner, it would only mean the propaganda has stopped working and that failure necessitated a fall back to force.
_Today_, it's thoughts. What percentage of America is already on a legal mind-numbing drug? I have people I miss on them.

Not a cliche or anything.
Since I've found the majority of the movies "problematic" the reviews that this one is a little different intrigue me. Will I like it more than the rest while the people I'm with like it less?
Oh, no. Of course mass transit often takes longer -- especially with a transfer. But instead of listening to crap on the radio, I can't begin to list the books, magazines, papers, mail, work documents, etc. I've read over decades of mass transit.
GIGO, man, GIGO. Driving isn't that sexy if you look at it that way.
As a dedicated pedestrian with about a quarter century of survival behind me, I _HATE_ that attitude. Every time a car nails a pedestrian and the news says "alcohol was not a factor", I think "Clean kill!" Got away with it.
But what are the odds that cars will have this? Only in the most "socialist" countries. Never pass in the U.S. Should it? I don't know. Personally, I'd like to see more penalties for driving that endangers pedestrians first -- and a mandate for cops to enforce them.
Exactly, cytokine storm in 1918. Why it killed people of typical military age with strong immune systems. And why this is nothing like that and a mass hysteria.
I would say it is our media distracting us from the depression, Wall Street theft and war crimes, but the BBC and BFM-TV, Paris, are running it a lot too. I think we are seeing the sociological phenomenon of a genuine global mass hysteria of an interesting kind that is being fueled by the media. Maybe it is less threatening to get hysterical over the flu than it is to get hysterical over global economic meltdown?
I sometimes wonder whether the good teachers game the system and the bad teachers go along with the system.
There was a comparative study of kids in St. Paul, MN, Kyoto and Taipei -- how they start out the same but the U.S. kids are significantly behind by grade 4. They found that the talk about Japanese cramming, for instance, wasn't that significant a factor. The one thing that was a glaring difference was that the U.S. school's administration office often couldn't tell the researcher _where_ a particular student physically was situated at a given moment. In other words, the Japanese and Chinese schools still had the students sitting in rows in their designated seat in their designated classroom. American schools used to be like that into the 70s and I wonder whether we shouldn't go back to a system where kids shut up and listen more instead of sitting around cozy little work groups socializing. Could it be that the relative chaos of a current U.S. school's structure gives the bad teachers a way to hide their inefficiency?
Heh. Well, I'm sure there will be a Windows 7 vs. qemu shoot-out appearing on Slashdot. I play Links386 and Chuck Yeager's Air Combat on a DOS qemu, Epic Pinball on a Win98 qemu, and Galactic Civilizations (Original) on an OS2 Warp qemu. Obviously, if you mean anything that isn't prehistoric.....
I find it remarkable, really, that ABC virtually doesn't exist for me. The un-channel of everything I would never watch and hadn't for years before Pushing Daisies and don't again after they canned that "loser" that was only nominated for something like 2-1/2 dozen awards.
So, YouTube killer? Not whatever demographic I'm in.
I'm not a populist and wouldn't necessarily want community standards censoring publication.
The internet is the thing anyway by now. Just make sure there is a blog specifically designated as the "Wall of Shame" where readers can ridicule the stupidest, laziest, and fluffiest work. Not just the usual comments to editorial essays. All stories, as in, "Oh, Geez. The thousand-and-first story on the perfect cherry pie. Nothing important happened in the world today?"
Or maybe you can get a really good deal on all the dead solar powered poles on every other street corner in about a 1/3 of my suburb of Saint Louis Park, MN. It's an officially dead project. Something in the applied math. They never were able to get decent and reliable throughput in the quadrant that went live tests.
Lie. Tell the customer the ISP isn't available in their area. I recommended an ISP to a woman. She hung up on the first QWest "customer service" rep but signed on to MSN when the second "customer service" rep "confirmed" the ISP wasn't on the available list.
Only a couple miles from my place, still _way_ inside our beltway, and the ISP is very much available. I called the ISP and had them call her to verify the behavior. They said they were collecting case stories but I haven't seen anything come out in the news about it.
Don't really worry about extra work securing the XP on my qemu cylinder.
1) Hasn't, but, gets corrupted, I'll untar an archive.
2) Data is on the Samba share.
Really, the whole thing is just an awkward way to get Adobe web development programs running because my linux versions of Adobe products are.....where?

1) Aesthetic according to what standard?
2) Art is more than photos. Much art moved away from realism 150 years ago.
Some short thoughts on the topic by a physicist.
That's Taco Bell today. Except the movable chairs grate on the bathroom tile they decorate with.

So it's highly ironic that I've never read a Le Guin and one of the last books I purchased retail walk-in was "Down and out in the Magic Kingdom."

Morality vs. business -- which isn't that unusual a juxtaposition.

Mission Accomplished!
Or, yes, it _could_ just be that Britney hasn't flashed her cooter recently and the news has to cover _something_. But I'm betting on the former.
