Hydrogen is explosive over a much wider range of stoichiometric ratios, so a hydrogen leak is more likely to cause an explosion than a natural gas leak.
If the President truly fears that international students will use skills learned at U.S. colleges and universities to the detriment of the United States if they return home... then wouldn't another option be not providing them with the skills in the first place?
It is if you think less education and less freedom in the world is a good thing.
They should just have a smaller mileage tax that applies to all vehicles (not just efficient ones) to avoid creating an incentive to have less efficient cars.
According to that article 28 million is the total sales for the SII over 23 months. The other numbers are the Q3 2012 sales, which covers just three months.
Unless there's something I missed, that article says windows 8 doesn't support resolution independent layout. It says windows 8 does layout in pixels, but scales every thing up for certain devices (they can have scale factors of either 100%, 140% or 180%).
I can't believe modern devices still don't support resolution independent layout, especially on tablets. All they would have to do is design displays to send their ppi as well as their resolution to the computer, then change the operating system to make that data available programs.
Do you have a source to back up this claim, or are you just making stuff up? If he had guns on him the transcripts from the trial probably would have mentioned it.
The one I read said that outcome based education was about determining what students should learn, then testing whether or not they actually have learned it. Obviously outcomes could be chosen that support progressive indoctrination, the same way they could be chosen to support conservative indoctrination. There's no fundamental reason Outcome-based Education would support a progressive agenda. Maybe they think it's progressive because it's new. If that's the case its pretty short sited to say something is bad because it is new.
Despite what the Texas GOP says Higher Order Thinking Skills and OBE aren't the same. One is a set of skills people can learn, the other is a method of teaching.
These numbers are for illegal immigrants with a criminal record. Not illegal immigrants in general. It says nothing about the rate of arrests for the general population.
What you're basically saying is "If the general population knew what the government was doing they would disapprove. So the government need to keep its actions secret." I couldn't disagree more. In order for a democratic government to work properly it needs to ba accountable to the people. That can't happen if the people don't know what the government is up to.
If people don't have realistic accounts of what happens in war they will believe the Hollywood version where the good guys never kill innocent people.
Most of what was leaked never should have been a secret. The governments been keeping its activities secret so it doesn't have to be accountable to its citizens.
Bradley Manning may be a traitor to the government, but not to the American people.
It's screen is 1% larger than an iPad's screen by area. I think it for practical purposes it would be more accurate to say that its screen it the same size.
That really depends on what dialect of English you speak. I speak the one that is commonly used by most Americans. You apparently speak one that is normally only used by English teachers while grading papers.
That's the problem with asking "who can we blame?". When something bad happens usually there are many people who contributed to it happening. So people usually blame the person they dislike the most. In this example you dislike unscrupulous corporate executives more than you dislike unscrupulous lawyers, so you blame the executives. The person you responded to blamed the lawyers. They're both responsible.
A more useful question would be "how can we prevent this in the future?". There is no shortage of unscrupulous lawyers and corporate executives. As long as the patent system exists in it's current form someone will abuse it. The only way to prevent abuses like this is to change the patent laws.

If capitalism and totalitarianism were the only options you might have a point.
Hydrogen is explosive over a much wider range of stoichiometric ratios, so a hydrogen leak is more likely to cause an explosion than a natural gas leak.
Unless the hydrogen leaks into your garage, or into the cab of the car, or into your car's trunk. In those cases it could be very dangerous.
The longer the half-life the less radioactive something is. So isotopes with half-lives in the hundreds of millions of years aren't very dangerous.
You can't use a pencil and paper to look something up on Wikipedia, and having an iPad doesn't prevent someone from using paper.

I don't go to Facebook to see advertisements. So obviously I'm not going to switch to a different service to see his ads.
According to the article car manufacturers are not allowed to have their own dealerships in the states where Tesla is being sued.
It's the same with Apple products. Apple is allowed to have their own retail stores. That's why you can't by apple products anywhere else.
Of coarse in the real world you can buy them in most electronics stores.
That should say 28 million in 13 months for the SII. I need to proofread my posts better.

It is disturbing that the US government is going to such lengths to keep its own citizens in the dark. Something has gone very wrong in Washington.

I think he was asking "why do you want an SD slot?". What are you planning on doing with it?
Who voted in favor of the legislation? The politicians.
Who voted the politicians into power? You and me.
