How can they be surprised that China's pirating designs? For that matter, substandard military parts aren't limited to China. I've heard of several cases of manufacturers here in the USA who didn't care to supply the best.

No, it's just more confirmation that these guys don't know why things are but are far more concerned that the number deliver the right message. Anything for the religion of Global Warming.
...has it been that long already? Wow. It won't be the same. Thinking of the places on the Net today that owe you guys at least one beer for the inspiration is amazing.
. I wonder whether the control-happy local franchises will do anything to prevent in-person fans creating and sharing such instant play-by-play accounts.
The SEC (American College Football) already frowns upon tweeting the games.
Cyberbullying? Not likely, it's stifling of speech. Find out who they are then drag them into court to put the fear of the Law into them. Once they're scared into submission, the plantiff can continue on safe in the knowledge that no matter how foul he behaves, no one will comment. I doubt it'll go far.
It seems like scientists in this one field get angry if you challenge their conclusions. I'm not sure why they've adopted an Imperial "you dare challenge us, mortal?" attitude over this. I always assumed the more people who ask questions, the better chance you have of finding out problems.
His sole beef is that it's impossible to prove or disprove. I don't suppose he'd mind if we at least thought about it? From the tone of the article it seems he'd rather we worry about what's possible, rather than flights of fancy. If we worried about the possible, what would we really have?

It's a he said/They said. Rand's people are saying it was a detention; the TSA is saying it wasn't. The TSA would deny it was a detention, however.
Credible Methodology? That doesn't stop the MPAA/RIAA....

Thank God county Sheriff's can't get/use radar here. Still, it'll make going through towns that much worse.
Can't really get any blunter than that.
Now I remember why I quit going there years ago. Thanks for the reminder!
I thought Supergirl was Superman's cousin.
Oh, it's a chip. :)
Their leder takes insalin derived from canines, while saying that no animals should be used for medical research.
They haven't derived "insalin" from Canines in ages. I'm sure their "leder" is using the modern brands of insulin.

I'll glady donate someone else's Kingdom for a +1 there. Bravo.
