I'm pretty much in the "eliminate helmets" camp, but also think that eliminating substitution, or requiring, say, 10 plays from scrimmage before a player can leave the field would help too. Right now, many players are on the field for one play and they know they'll be subbed out for the next play (different yards to first down or whatever), so they go all-out no matter what. If players had to control themselves so they could function for 10 straight plays, they might throttle back a bit. Plus it would force them to learn offense and defense, which I think would be a lot more interesting.
Your company may be in the minority (on the conservative end of the spectrum). I've worked for several different DoD contractors over the years, and once they got past the "OMG phones cameras run RUN" stage, they all figured out how to allow personal cellphones, even with cameras, into the main plant area. There are rules, carefully enforced, about maintaining airgaps (and no WiFi) between personal and corporate networks, etc. There's no reason, other than panic or deep-seated distrust of your entire staff, to ban personal devices in the workplace.
As my physics teacher told me once, "There is no such thing as a paradox. If your results appear to be a paradox, then you've done something wrong, defined something wrong, observed something wrong, or understood something wrong.
Guess he never heard of Godel, eh? Disclaimer: I am both a physicist and a mathematician, and I do understand the different way these two fields of study define "paradox."
Temperature isn't defined in physics as anything to do with heat, but the derivative of energy with respect to entropy. Absolute zero is the temperature at which there is no energy left in the system.
That's slightly inaccurate. Absolute zero actually occurs when each particle has one and only one energy state available to it. There's still energy; just not enough to excite a particle or transfer from one to another (since each particle can't give up any energy).
Mr. Bloody Sock was a fantastic athlete but a complete meathead. Anyone who invests in any pro athlete's business plan has a financial death wish. You can count the number of really successful jocks-turned CEOs on a digit-challenged hand. (I'm not counting those who get rich off permanent endorsement deals)
Leaded gas, known to mess with development, was banned in 1978. Roughly 20 years later, about the time it takes for a new born to fully mature, violent crime begins to suddenly drop.
No, it's the lack of pirates. That's why crime is down and global warming is up.
The same was said before Christopher Columbus. People feared the vast ocean just as much as we do space.
More ignorance from the dumbed-down history (i.e. nonsense) we get in school. In fact, all the educated folk, and all sea captains, were well aware that the world was round. They had decent estimates of its size, and since they did NOT know about the "new world" continents, were quite correct in telling Columbus he could not survive a trip from Europe west to China. The ships of the time did not have the storage capacity to stay at sea long enough.
You old-timers remember, the email that went: " Here's the DIY virus. All you have to do is 1) read this email, 2) send a copy to all your friends, 3) randomly delete files from the system directory"
So in other words this is the federal government giving the states more control, which normally is a good thing
Rather a large number of us non-TeaBagger US citizens disagree 100% with that statement. IMHO there is no logic whatever in allowing different states to generate contradictory laws.
...when you blow up an asteroid, you don't get tiny harmless pieces; you get small fast-moving pieces that are just as deadly as the original rock and much harder to hit.
You got one part right: at the point of blowing it up, the total momentum is conserved. You then fail to understand the full physical picture. Each space rock, regardless of size, loses a lot of material due to compressive heating as it enters the atmosphere. If you have one large rock, ablating, say, 1cm deep leaves a pretty large chunk to hit the earth's surface. If a few hundred small rocks each lose 1cm to ablation, there's almost nothing left to hit the surface.
They wouldn't want anyone getting wind of their TS/SAR plans for a giant rocket to get all the politicians and Wall St. Bankers off the planet in 2039.
Forget whether or not there are scanners. The real issue is whether or not there should be a TSA at all. There's no evidence that the $BIGNUM dollars spent has done anything whatsoever to stop or dissuade terrorist in-flight attacks. I'd suggest to the libertarians, Repubs, and other "personal liberty small government invisible hand of capitalism" folks that airline security should be the responsibility of the airlines themselves. I'd choose a "walk-on no problem" vendor over a "scan, remove your clothes, and provide a blood sample" vendor every time.
Maybe it's subjective, but there have been times when (with a 5.1 sound system) the show had a certain volume in the center channel and properly quieter background effects in the others, but the ad volume appeared to be at the same (higher) volume in every channel. So - does this new reg. limit total dB for N-channel systems?

Because the night is dark and full of terrors.

Yeah but you were going to hire her anyway 'cause she was hot.
Rule 34, that is: how is this gadget going to improve access to porn?

I have a large rock in my backyard. it keeps tigers away.
So YOU'RE the rotten insensitive clod who's responsible for all those tigers moving into MY backyard!

Right. And the next thing you know, they'll be putting on blindfolds and earplugs, ... and you know where to put the cork.
Or even worse, hordes of kill-crazed pinballers will dump 10^100 steel ball bearings onto the interstate roads...

Just have two people with Asperger's have unprotected sex...make sure one of them is a woman...
You may have missed Biology 101, but you better make sure one of them is *not* a woman as well.
IMHO, none whatsoever. States should have about as much autonomy from the Feds as town gov'ts do from the states.
The Koreans never signed an armistice, but OTOH the USA never declared war there, either. It was, IIRC, a 'Police Action."

This would all be very interesting new information if Slashdot weren't running like five 3d-printing stories per week
Wait,.. so Slashdot has articles on 15-D printers? Do the string theorists know about these?
As long as we're gettting it right: a beta- is an electron; a beta+ is a positron.
