Well, an anecdote does not make a pattern. Ethanol is cheaper than gasoline on almost the entire brazilian territory. Except for, it seems, where it snows (You realize we are talking about some 2% of the territory here, and some very unusual 2%, don't you?). Now, did you take into account that gasoline also lacks quality control, and is some times mixed with kinds of solvents that, differently from water, damage your motor?
Oh, no. It doesn't look very large being a meter or two across. I also doubt it is binary, since only one object felt into earth. If you had a pair of gravitationally coupled objects, both should fall together.
"In a rural or farm environment, cats, terriers and owls tend to keep their populations in check."
In a rural environment, if you don't want mouse living inside your home and installations, you have 2 good options. Either have snakes or use poison.
Terriers and owls aren't that effective on indoor environments. Cats aren't that effective against mouse when they have a plethora of other food sources just outside.
I'm still pending for running some insulated cables at 200V DC above ground all around the room. If it doesn't kill them, it will at least teach them to keep away of insulating material.
"...put down some more interesting chew toys for them."
I must add that a nest of (well insulated) wires some 200V to 2000V DC above ground potential could be a very interesting toy. Make sure that you have a very big capacitor feeding that circuit (or even limit it only by a fuse), as limiting the current would disrupt the long term effects of chewing...
Maybe not a very interesting toy for the rats, but quite funny for you;).
By the way, if you want to do the same with cats, I'll make sure to look the other way.
Being on drugs is a punishment on itself. I've had friends that were there... Changing the laws also could make it easier to aid addicts, and could bankrupt the small dealers that push drugs into the people that doesn't know any better (would it be to bold to say "think of the children"?), but one'd need severe restrictions on publicity to get that effect.
But, above all of that, criminalizing drug dealing turns all drug dealers into criminals. Drugs market is very big, and that is a lot of money to put in the hands of criminals. A piece of opinion from somebody that leaves in a country where drug dealers are more powerful than the police on at least the 2 biggest cities.
The likelihood of this specific collision was astronomically low. The likelihood of some kind of collision on any small time frame was also very small. Now, the likelihood of some kind of collision some day was, and still is near 1 (unless we stop exploiting the Earth's orbits soon).
"I think the atmosphere only burns things while it decelerates them from huge velocities to terminal velocity."
So you must think again. There is no reason to friction stop just because the debris isn't accelerating anymore. In fact, the only reason that it stops accelerating while still falling is because friction transform all the gravitational potential into heat.
"Microsoft has a whole team of professional security experts who are standing by 24 hours a day...."
That depends on your contract, almost every company has support only of 8x5. Also, the part about "experts" is a lie, there is a small team of real windows experts that the biggest clients have access to, after they wait a few weeks (4-8) on a line. Getting into this line is also quite a hassle...
Microsoft has nothing that comes close to a normal Linux distro support.
North Korea never said their were enriching uranium for civilian use. Also, as far as is publicly known, they don't enrich uranium at all.
Also, to build their own weapons, they can buy the plutonium from Russia (that works way better then buying fuel, since it is just a couple of one-time expenses), or they can spend a fortune that is at least three times as big as the one needed for enriching uranium for power generation.
Entities that are able to catch an enrichment plant are also normally able to discover when it grows three fold.
"increased government spending boosts the economy"
Only when there is severe unemployment. Even then, Keynesian economics assumes that government spending is as efficient as private spending, what makes that affirmation way weaker.
Except that Iran does not need to have capacity for building a nuclear bomb in order to create fuel for nuclear reactors. There is a long way between both, and the UN and NATO have a perfect score of avoiding countries that have the later developing the former.
Now, of course, that is too much common sense to expect from the US external politics. You are better pushing Iran into a corner, so they need to give up on democracy and cheer leaders that promise to destroy you.
"So what was the primary lesson to be learned? Binaries distributed without source code and not rebuilt on a server under a watchful eye are a bad idea - true."
How dumb of me thinking it was "you must check for buffer overflows"... All that time.
Yeah. I've lost the count on the number of times I typed:wq when in fact I wanted:q!
And I'm not even a heavy vi user, I use emacs most of the time (and also lost the count on the number of times I locked a ssh session by typing ^x^s before I learned that ^q will release the bash interface again).
Slashdot Mirror
Quite true (when compared to US gasoline, not so true when compared to EU or UK), but keep in mind that the biggest part of that is taxes.
The government loves standards... They'll probably go with ed.

Yeah, but I also doubt they saw it coming...
Oh, that's of no use. Striking already carries a death penalty... But those annoying creatures still insist on it.

Man, that last paragraph made me completely sure the GP was kidding, just so that you point his source, and he was SERIOUS?!?!
Or are the people of Electric Universe all making a giant practical joke? It is easier to believe, now that I've meet their star theory.

They were never signed the NPT, thus, they were never (officially) under the supervision of those entities.

I've been in some places where water have a perfectly vertical slope, without the need of waves.
Of course, I wouldn't like to surf there...
You should check those facts again.
