Only half. While you're correct and it was an inacurate statement, the main point still holds that it's a bit 'pot calling the kettle black' when people get upset that a bunch of zealots will challenge their position.
So I guess evolution is above challenge and being questioned? Last I knew it was still a theory, not a law. Tell me I can't question anything I want, be it right or wrong, and you'll get a punch in the nose:)
The asteroid loses, the Earth is much more massive than it is. Of course we may lose as a side affect as well.
Honestly I take issue of the whole tiny particle thing. Tiny particles will be deflected by, or burned up in teh atmosphere pretty readily. Oh wow, nice pretty light show for a few hours. I can deal with that. The atmosphere is massive and can easily absorb the extra heat. Not to mention you have a heck of alot more of an affected area to absorb the strike. The whole "its solely about mass, which is essentially the same" is simplistic and used by people whow ant to appear smart to those who aren't. Real life is a bit more complex a system than HS Physics test questions.
Ummm...its perfectly not reasonable for a city to do that because it would cause accidents. But that is a different issue altogether. However, it is within their ability and doing so does not change the fact that if you don't try to stop when you could on a yellow light you get a ticket. The length of the yellow light in no way plays into the decision of whether or not you should stop.
You'd probably end up proving your own guilt. The law is to stop on yellow unless not safe to. The length of the yellow light does not change whether you should have tried to stop or not. All you'll be showing is that when the light turned yellow you decided to blow through it. Whether the light is 1 second or 20 is irrevelent. Tickets can be given for running yellow lights as well.
It should ensure that lots of bored IT people with god complexes flock to his article and dream about how important they really are. Of course the reality is that just about everyone could get hit by a bus and within 2 months their names will be forgotten and the company will be just fine.
Or you'll find out that the extra bandwidth costs more than the business is bringing in and you will go out of business or have to raise prices beyong what some of your current customers want to pay. Going out on a limb here, but maybe the manager is basing his decision on actual numbers and increasing bandwidth is not possible on the current revenue stream. Or maybe not. Point is, we don't have enough information, and this guy probably doesn't either. Hell, do we even know if he's priced the scenario?
You seem to be confused by equating academic people with technical. I suspect that the majority of academia would throw there hands up in frustration if presented with LaTeX and go back to Word. Which is probably the right choice for them.
Oh god, another 'Road Warrior' trying to claim that life is so rough for the traveling business man. Sissy is the right word. Even the word 'power brick' is sickening. Go complain to someone out building a brick wall, or a concrete worker lugging around 80lb bags of quickrete about your poor back and your 'brick.' You're trying to compare your life of schlepping a laptop around in an airport to being a soldier, or any other job that actually requires physical labor. This is why the stimulus won't work. We don't have anyone willing to use a shovel anymore to do real work. But at least all the illegals will have a job building our roads and bridges. We're a country of man bag carrying sissies. Sickening.

No kidding. I think this was basically a, "HAHA, I saw the movie and you probably didn't. And by the way, you sucker subscribers even paid for my popcorn and gas to drive to the theater."

And apparently I don't serve out web pages any better than IIS.

Not according to my dog.

With my Zimbabwen $1000000000 bill. I think that puts the price scale about in line with SDI

Huh? This is Slashdot. Why do you assume it will be scrapped? Give it a few more hours.
A bag review? Is this Slashdot, new for sissies???? The only bag I need is the brown one with my 40 in it.
I would have said 2/3. Guess I'm not scientifically literate.
If you don't like his post, don't reply to it.
They even copy Briney Spears.
The article has been edited and changed. It originally had 18. The summary should probably re cut and paste to update this and end the confusion.
18 crew memebers? Are they shooting a Girls Gone Wild video up there or something?
How many of you play muds anymore? Time to build the castle in the swamp again I guess.
At least now when you are caught staring at a womans chest you can blame it on your projector display.
Videos on MTV/VH1? That's so 20 years ago.
Must be zombie immigrants that I see actually doing work :) I guess that road sign was right!

Errr....yes they do. It's called Google Earth.
