The real danger is that we become as addicted to geothermal as we are to oil, and use it up like we have used up the oil... the earth's rotating molten iron core cools and freezes, the magnetic field disappears, so the Van Allen belts fade away, and we all fry from cosmic radiation!
I have the moral courage to stand up for free speech and liberty against the attacks of cowards such as yourself who are trying to construct a fascist theocracy to give yourselves a false sense of security.
This was how it's supposed to work - the rocket had never had this large an amount of activity before, so when their systems detected a sudden surge in activity, the rocket was flagged for suspicious behavior and frozen.
The customer assures us that they were launching a legitimate satellite, but they have been unable to get a response from SpaceX customer service.
I dunno if this is true, but it wouldn't surprise me. GoDaddy's owner is a sick right-wing pig who wrote an essay advocating the use of turture - then when called on it, edited his statement and claimed he never said it (cache showed he was lying.)
He also runs outrageously sexist commercials. The guy is a pig.
Yeah - if he wants to be free to speak candidly about global warming, he should become a climate scientist in the private sector - like for Exxon-Mobil or somebody.
If I were a woman, I would be a little annoyed (not a lot, but a little) to have my work units referred to as man-hours. Anyway, it just wouldn't be ACCURATE anymore, right? If work is performed by a woman, then the term "man hours" simply is grammatically incorrect.
That having been said, I don't care for the sound of "person hours" - it's clumsy. Why not something neutral like "work hours?" And instead of replacing "manhole cover" with "personhole cover" why not "access hole cover?"
Heck. Just one night spent in the Erie County Holding Center (a few months before a 35-year veteran prison inspector called it the worst he'd ever seen) is all I need to have experienced to know that this is NOT real, unless there's shit smeared all over the walls of your cell.
But they would have to do "Time Enough For Love" as a porno.
Heinlein wrote that in his dirty old man phase... the entire book can be summed up thusly:
"There once was a woman who lived for a very, very long time, which gave her the chance to fuck a lot of people, as follows:..."
This is being done in the name of stopping terrorism. The government had more than enough information to have stopped the 9/11 attacks if they had simply been able to digest it. This law would not have stopped the attacks.
The fact is, you are not giving up rights to BE safer, since this law will not help... you are giving up rights to FEEL safer. Well, speaking as a person who is not the least bit "terrorized" by terrorists, I have only one thing to say - grow a set of balls before you give away MY rights simply because you're irrationally afraid.
Look, we often complain about how it's considered horrible to see a nipple for three seconds, but lopped-off heads rolling down the street are ok. We decry the categorization of sexual material as "pornographic" and say that violence is the real pornography.
Could this be a step in the direction of correcting that? Could this lead to the categorization of video violence as porno? Could this lead to removing violence from TV shows accessible to children? Could this lead to the eventual realization that violence AND sex are things that are exploitive, explicit, often obscene, and therefore something that we as adults need to choose wisely when exposing children to, but then with this evening of the standard between sex and violence, we will see that important choice as a matter of PERSONAL responsibility, thus leading to LESS government interference?
but - they LIKE you to think that way, and they WANT you to buy that way - and before long you wont be ABLE to buy CDs and build a collection.
They have publicly stated that their goal is to shift the music industry's business model to pay-per-play, and this is one step along the way to that.
Reeling in judges? No thanks. That's why we call them JUDGES - we elect them to use their judgement. If we want to just have a firm set of rules, then why have judges at all?
Look at all the damage that's being done by changing sentencing guidelines to sentencing mandates - take the judgement from judges, and you end up with atrocities happening... people getting more time in prison for a joint than for rape, etc. If you don't like your judges' record, vote against them - but don't hamstring them from being able to give a person a break if they deserve it, or treat them MORE harshly than they deserve, just because the occasional thing you see reported makes you think your city can save a few bucks.

They would have been "Comdots" instead!

no, NASA is not a branch of the USAF.
Now all they have to do is develop the technology to create fiber-optic cable millions of miles long!

Since this is a "real prison" there already is a pron analogue - prostitutes.
Exactly! The insurance industry is DOOMED!

oh, you're right - I'm just daydreaming again.

st doing everything possible to make sure that votes in a democracy are fairly counted.

You can't put a corporation in jail. Unfortunately.
I like kittens. :)

Well, since you can get a webcam for like 20 bucks, that takes care of that!
It's still my the attic. :)
