In 1978, the impending crisis was global cooling and the imminent ice age if the government didn't act quickly to raise taxes and implement programs to fight it.
Every week, there's another "study" that blames obesity on something other than what really causes it: overeating.
There is no cause for obesity other than overeating. Period. We all must obey the laws of thermodynamics, and if we ingest more calories than we consume, we will gain weight.
Since apparently half of Americans are going to be obese soon, I guess they're not teaching basic science in school any longer. I guess the "consensus" is that overeating doesn't make you fat, and that it can be blamed on just about anything else.
"The Password Protection Act of 2012 (PPA) would also prevent employers from accessing information on any computer that isn't owned or controlled by an employee, including private e-mail accounts, photo sharing sites, and smartphones."
Well, that's all well and good, but what about computers that ARE owned by the employee, such as their personally-owned laptop, home computer, or personal smart phone? Does the act also prevent an employer requiring access to those?
If they aren't bothering with visas, they won't be able to come ashore anyway, so what's the point of being physically close to California? Why not the Bahamas? Or Bora Bora? Or some place one might actually like living?
AbsCurity is really cool language developed for just the occasion when a seasoned programmer is looking for the next cool thing.
It combines the most absurd and obscure aspects of many other languages, to create that silly, useless language that so many "hardcore" programmers insist on learning to show off to their friends.
Ford SYNC has done SMS and Email from the dash for years, and units from several aftermarket stereo makers will link to your phone's Wifi hotspot to run Pandora and other Internet apps.
They don't hold planes for security, but airlines schedule flights based on the rate at which people can be processed through security. An airport that can process more people will have more flights. Slow the flow of people to a crawl, and there will be no reason to have more flights.
Fewer flights means fewer options for travel, less flexible rescheduling, more delays, and lost productivity.
... is that he is trying too hard to follow in his father's footsteps by associating himself with these non-mainstream, far-right extremist anti-government organizations. In his early career, it seemed he might actually have ended up to be a more rational version of dear old dad, but I see that didn't quite pan out.
They are 58,000 jobs that subtract from GDP. People don't travel because of them. They don't produce anything. They cause delays and lost productivity for anyone who does travel by air.
GDP would actually go up if those 58,000 blood-sucking jobs were lost, and those people had to go out and get real, productive jobs like flipping burgers or picking lettuce.
"Authorized" and "Competent" are two completely different words, with completely different meanings. I want my electronics repaired by a "competent" repairer. I don't give a flip if they are "authorized."
I don't know if you're just a troll, but obviously the energy content of the wind, particularly with respect to velocity and momentum, changes as the wind passes the turbine blades.
The wind is basically slowed down and that change in energy spins the turbine which then produces electricity. It is intuitively obvious that doing this on a large enough scale would change wind patterns enough to modify the local climate.
This is a wonderful idea. It's so important to protect uneducated athletes and the wealthy VIPs who can afford to come watch them in stadium. It's much better to disable incoming hostile 747s filled with fuel and have them crash and burn in densely-populated residential neighborhoods where only ordinary hard-working lower and middle-class citizens will be burned to death.
A plane crash has got to have the huge potential to leak all kinds of harmful substances into the local ecosystem. Jet fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, and the combustion remnants of the plastics, fiberglass, aluminum, and other things... none of it could have been good for the local plant and wild life.
Did Discovery do their due diligence to study such potential impacts, and perform a proper cleanup after the crash? What are they doing now to ensure there are no long-term adverse effects?

These are the very same lunatics that say they will not vote for Obama because he is not far-left enough for their liking.
Scary shit.

Just sayin :p
There are other droops in life I'd rather see solved...

Seems to be a glaring omission to me...
What about the millions of tons of saccharide polymers people consume every year? My god! Didn't they say saccharin causes cancer?!?! :p
Yes, but of course the university depends on a constant stream of government money in the form of loans for current students.
That money has a number of strings attached to it, and the Dept of Education can invent new strings as it sees fit.
"If you want to be on the approved disbursement list next year, you will do this for us."
Something like that.

In short, it's the dvorak keyboard of languages.
Yep. It's what happens when you put spreadsheet guys and accountants in charge of making design decision, rather than engineers and scientists.
BMW is hardly breaking ground here.

Nothing in this story constitutes anything new.
Revenue is not the same thing as profit.

... I can just buy a $69 BluRay player that plays blurays, DVDs, and does online streaming, and then MSFT can go eff themselves.
WebTV was way ahead of its time.
You say Stream is the word? I guess that is only because you haven't heard. You know, I was under the impression that everyone had heard.

The iPad is not a 10-inch tablet. Its screen is smaller than 10 inches.
I believe my attitude about a great many things will be: "Heh, fuck you!"
Just sayin'
It should come as no surprise that our tyrannical government defends its own crimes of tyranny against its Citizens.
