It seems strange to me that they don't have a self-destruct function on board a spy satellite. Wouldn't that be fairly easy to implement, since it's full of hydrazine? Wouldn't that be an easy and possibly important feature for a spy satellite to have?
It was the first wildly popular platform game. Like how the iPod wasn't the first at anything technical, but it was the first wildly popular mp3 player.
You could get used, out-of-print math books on Amazon for around $5 (versus $130 at the campus bookstore), and the only difference is the numbered problems to solve are older.
America is also lazy. I think a lot of it has to do with how it takes two syllables to say "Blu-Ray" and five to say "H-D-D-V-D." It's almost a tongue twister.
Data mining, she told the crowd, would be used "to determine hidden patterns of uses to our website."
So they used a scary phrase, but there isn't anything nefarious about noticing that people who read articles on subject X might want to see a link to article Y.
I can see why someone would get angry about this if, by going slowly to one red light, you're preventing a long line of people from getting through a red light behind you. So one needs to be aware of that. But I know there are people not in that situation that would still get mad at not being able to accelerate to a red light.
No, they did not. They took effect in 2001. Don't you remember Bush sending out all those checks?
http://www.moneychimp.com/features/tax_brackets.ht m Here, on the bottom chart, you can see that tax rates went down from 2000 to 2001.
And secondly, tax revenues were lower in 2003 than in 2002. So you're wrong again.
Really, do you check anything before posting it?
Well, that's a sneaky point to make. Eventually the revenue goes up, yeah. It's just a question of how long it will take for the economy to grow to that point. Bush cut taxes in 2001, and it took until 2005 for the total federal receitps to reach their 2000 level. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/pdf/hi st.pdf Check out page 26.
France, however, has five candidates because their election system isn't set up like ours. I don't know any of the details of the French system, but the biggest difference I see is they have runoff elections. In America's system, which is essentially plurality-takes-all-electors, voting for any other than the two frontrunners means most people might not get their first or second choice, while less than 50% of the voters can win with their preferable candidate.
Is it just me, or do all the third parties seem a bit too extremist to be taken seriously? They've all got something just completely unworkable, like a $16/hr minimum wage or privatizing all roads and education.
I'm not sure the solution is another party. I think the solution is a fundamental change to our government that reduces the necessity of parties. Like instant runoff voting.
Also, something needs to be done about gerrymandering. I don't have the exact specifics, but 90-something percent of House elections aren't even close. There is one party that will win, no matter what. So the real contest is in the primaries, and since the party is sure to win, they elect the more extremist candidate. And thus we have the polarization in our government today, far more polarized than the American people.
I don't know if you realize this, but the Libertarian Party also favors unlimited immigration, and I think you'd also classify their status on the "War on Terrorism" as "won't even fight it."
I did hit those three while playing Quake II once. Alt was held down to strafe, Control was held down to shoot, and Delete was pressed to lower the viewing angle.
You realize.... the Earth doesn't need to be replenished, and that the whole procreation thing seems to be handling itself just fine without encouragement?

Are you measuring "diameter" from the centers of the lines, or the corners? Or the average of the two?

On two strange occasions I have lent my cell phone to a complete stranger to make a call.
You can already count to 1024 on your fingers if you use binary.

Does the phone call have to be to or from someone in a foreign nation?

The closest thing would be Bill Nye the Science Guy, but his show went off the air in 98.
Same here. I'd wake up before anyone else in the house to catch the 6 AM showing of Mr Wizard's World.

Well, I'm not talking about some guy in a chat room, I'm talking about things being printed right on the party's platform.

That's cool, but we're going to need some pictures.

I had a professor once who prided himself in assigning papers so unique they couldn't possibly be plagiarized.

I thought I heard once that baby teeth were of different construction - they have a shallower root. Something like that.

YES! And to add to it, that dongle isn't available at any store I've seen, and on ebay, costs as much as a wireless router.
