.. and whose job is it to maintain the list of which of the hundreds of thousands of consumer electronic devices comply and which failed? And do you expect the flight attendants to be able to tell the difference between every one? How do you implement this? Maybe a nice little (easily forged) sticker for the back of the device?
uh... but given long period of temperature fluctuations throughout measured history... wouldn't you expect a temperature change since the Industrial Revolution with a probability of almost 100% and a probability that it would be an *increasing* trend of 50%? Wouldn't it be more surprising if the temperature was exactly *constant* since then?
... how bout the fact that he couldn't solve that - but has a B.S., two masters degrees, PhD credits, and "oversee[s] an organization with 22,000 employees and a $3 billion operations and capital budget, and am able to make sense of complex data related to those responsibilities".
I simply can't reconcile the above with his inability to solve any of the 60 math questions.
I'm thinking his degrees are utterly worthless and I'll further speculate that the organization he oversees with $3B budget is being grossly mismanaged.
The experiment was over 15 years ago so I'm not sure but I seem to recall they both looked rather pinkish-violet. Honestly - I don't know when I am seeing UV if at all... I would say though that the purple section of a rainbow looks thicker, and terminates with a pinkish-whitish-violet color that just sort of fades. I've always assumed that's what everyone sees regardless of where their sensitivity ends,... maybe I'm wrong.
I see UV too,... at least technically and I don't believe it is that uncommon. In a college quantum physics lab we were looking at the emission spectrum of Hydrogen and the instructor was guiding us through various emission lines. He asked if we could see the purple line and then asked who could see the *other* purple line. I was the only one who could. He said he always asks that because every class there are one or two students (out of about 20) who could see just enough into the UV spectrum to see it. I don't recall which line it was but assume it was the Balmer n=6 line at 397nm.
I can't say this has been particularly more useful to me although I do think I see rainbows as 'wider' than most people with a much thicker "purple" band than others seem to see. Totally subjective and something I can't substantiate but I think I am more sensitive to sunlight as well.
At first glance, that looks exceedingly like an F-22 (I'm no expert-maybe specialists here can point out differences)
I am - and to anyone else in the field the designs look nothing alike. The F-22 (and F-35) have a diamond-wing planform without canards with diamond vertical stabilizers. The J-20 has canards and a delta wing with swept vertical stabs.
Take a look at this planform comparison

no workie for me either... even after checking the above (it was already set to 'true')
What astonishes me, is that lefty commentors here on slashdot appear to have read a drastically distorted and incorrect news story, then swallowed it whole, without any criticism or research, all the while believing that they are open minded, critical, and better-informed than the stupid people who watch Fox.
One more example of how Bush and his greedy incompetent Republican asshats have screwed everybody. This stuff is used because of a conditional waiver that was issued in 2003, against the scientific advices of the experts.
It's just like the BP Gulf oil spill and the coal mine explosion in West Virginia. There are systems in place to protect people and the environment, but when the Republicans gain control they stop all oversight. It takes five to fifteen years to see all the failures, and by then everyone forgets who turned over control to the crooks and lairs.
They just wave the flag, blame everything on the government bureaucrats and illegal aliens, scream about the war on terror, and then lie and deny when the
shit hits the fan. I guess as long as these morons continue to lie and cheat their way into power we deserve to have poisoned gulf seafood and the end of flowering crops.
Don't worry, you can just consume more high fructose processed food and get diabetes.
The corn/agribusiness lobby will continue to do just fine with their massive tax breaks and government subsidies, and they're so rich that they can afford imported fruits and vegetables. If you get sick and loose your health care you can crawl off and die, and that will solve them problem.
Pssstttttt.... 15 years before the events you cited... Clinton was president.
Forcing health insurance companies to insure people with "pre-existing conditions" is like forcing an insurance company to cover the loss of a home that caught on fire despite the fact that the owner didn't get coverage until after his house burnt down.
Install Windows Steady State on the machine after you set it up and before you give it to him. It is designed for places like computer labs, libraries, schools, etc... that don't want kids or malicious user wrecking too much havoc. Lots of features but the gist is you have full control over what users can do (by account), how long they can be online, what drives and resources they have access to, etc. There is even a rudimentary site blocker so you can allow playhouse disney, or whatever kids sites you know are safe without letting them have free reign over the net or having to manage this at the firewall. Highly recommend it.
I think it has been well documented that planet-scale computing leads to disaster. I for one don't want to be destroyed by the Vogons just before the computer produces its answer...
Maybe if you stop watching Fox News, you'd notice the leaders portrayed as demonic figures bent on bringing hell on earth are actually very pragmatic people and that's exactly why they manage to stay in power.
p.s. I actually get most of my news from NPR, with some CNN, BBC, CSM and others thrown in. Somehow I doubt you actually take in the "other sides'" 'news' sources and just wallow in your own intellectual filth.
Dude... you realize there are at least 5 "droids" don't you? Which one are you talking about? Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, Motorola Droid, Droid X or Droid 2?
But your quiz is *not* representative of all car buying scenarios... much more often the scenario is as follows:
My family owns *two* cars, an SUV that gets 15 MPG and sedan that gets 25 MPG. Should I replace the SUV with a hybrid SUV that gets 25 MPG or the sedan with one that gets 45 MPG?
Now what would have been *really* funny is if, upon seeing two men running toward her and her small children, she pulled out a can of mace (or "bear-away") and sprayed you with it... ok..maybe not funny but consistent.

Except that GPS satellites are in MEO... and would be immune from the Kessler Syndrome which is a LEO problem...
Is it just me or are people *way* more interested in the shuttle now than when it was still flying?
Probably less long that it would take him to get into everyone in the audience's...

Funny - I thought the root cause of all violence in Mexico were Mexicans shooting and killing one another...
You must have a different definition of "free for all". I think you really meant "free for the student, paid for by everyone else"

Right... you know where you see valid targets and just shoot missiles everywhere else and surely you'll hit the stealth target.... brilliant!

I just had a great idea... can slashdot become dependent on flash so that it will act as a natural filter against iSheep?
