Perhaps, but ignorance of events that will have absolutely zero effect on anyone living now, or any time into the foreseeable future?
Who says high-energy physics only has applications 11 billion years into the future? I think it has a track record that speaks for itself. If we ever hope to wean off of fossil fuels, it will be developments using technologies pioneered by high-energy physics research.
Meanwhile, millions of children the world over continue to struggle just for enough food to keep them alive, every day.
So you'd use the money to invade and stabilize those countries? Starvation is almost entirely a political problem. If you have a way to feed the world on a few billion, you'll have lots of takers.
I'm certain there are many here who actually think we humans will still be around in 10,000,000,000 years.
It's possible that we'll be stored and emulated by whatever comes next. It'll be like real-life seances. Just pull down the emulation of your great-great-great-great-great-great (etc) grandfather and show your friends. Hell, maybe that's what is happening right now!
It's the same thing PDF Viewer does... maybe the same project? I don't follow such things. It works well, but I've always been annoyed that Firefox doesn't just dish stuff off to the built-in Mac PDF renderer - which is resident all the time and is necessarily snappy.
But most people don't run a print server for each user account. As a result, the print server user account needs to have write permission in other user's directories. It's not a big deal... just create a ~/CUPS_PDF folder and give it +w or use your favorite method to give CUPS write permission. But it is kind of hacky.
I think China had a lot more to do with gas prices than Bush. Agreed that his motivation for Iraq seems to be at the very least, suspect.
Ironically, I think the first Bush was a pretty good Republican. He was willing to violate his no tax pledge for the sake of the fiscal health of the country, even if Clinton reaped most of the rewards. I think I voted for the Libertarians or something in the last election. It was definitely a 3rd party. My state was also pretty safe for Obama (PA), but I don't think I could have voted for him in any case. Romney bothered me for the same reason that Hillary bothers me... his ambition exceeds all else. Nixon was like that, and he was scary as hell. I don't think Romney is quite as... damaged... as Nixon, but I don't like that mentality.
XP was a steaming pile of bloat when it came out, replacing both the resource-friendly but somewhat unstable 98SE (let's ignore ME, shall we?) and the rock-stable 2000. Processor power and service packs made it into the OS we love today.
Yes. The commute is slow city streets, and people are rarely raped while driving. There are fatal accidents on her commute, but they are pretty rare. I think there was a single fatality on her route that did not involve a drunk driver in 2009 when I did the research. Coincidentally, the subway route she would take also had a fatality (someone either jumped or fell on the track). Seemed like a toss-up... especially since if she has to travel after midnight, the train doesn't run anyway and she'd still be on the road in a cab during the most dangerous, uncongested peak drunk-driver time.
Sorry, that was meant to be a bit of hilarious sarcasm...
Bush is a good guy, but he has a very simple outlook on life. Simple people shouldn't be president. That said, Obama has not changed many of Bush's policies (which is why I didn't vote for him in the last election).
You cannot honestly call it a public transport (system) then.
It's actually a fairly decent system... it's just that it is very centered on the city, and I don't work in the city. As a result, I would have to transfer to another train at some point. The trains are commuter rails, so they run about once an hour. Unfortunately, this means a lot of lost time just waiting for the train I'm trying to connect with. If I were commuting to the city, we get a train every half-hour - more frequent during peak times. Most of my neighbors use the commuter rail... it's actually faster than driving, even including the 10 minute walk (which is good for you!).
The best system in the world wouldn't change my wife's situation, which is based on safety. She could easily take the train. She'd have to transfer, but to a subway which runs quite frequently. The problem is the sketchy neighborhood.
I was shocked how nice - and expensive! - the trains in Germany were. The Dutch street cars are charming as all hell, but we were just tourists so I have no idea what they would be like to commute in. They kind of sucked in San Francisco (Muni) and Boston (T). Very subject to street traffic. My wife eventually gave up on public transit in San Francisco and bought a car.
OK, if you live in the U.S., why don't you ride the bus or train to work?
Me? There is one direct train that would get me to work, and it leaves 2 hours before I'm ready. If I miss the single direct train coming back, I have to change over, making the trip take about 6 times as long as the drive. And then I'd have to leave even earlier to walk over and get the kids at their two separate schools. I'd be able to work for about 3 hours per day, tops.
My wife works in a crappy part of town and often has to leave work after dark.
So yeah, we both drive despite having readily accessible public transit.
I could see a point occurring where it is cheaper to put batteries on a train than to run wires or a third rail for the entire run after maintenance is considered.
Don't forget that, with a few exceptions (transit friendly NYC, for instance!), our inner cities have no shortage of low income housing. In Europe and many other countries, the working poor and lower middle class commute in from the suburbs.
No, in terms of a Presidential Election, it's much better to be a Florida voter. Wyoming gets little attention, being staunchly Republican. Florida is an infamous battleground state.
That's the nice thing about capitalism - you don't have to be noble to contribute to the system. In fact, it helps to have some vultures in the system.
In this case, the slowly dying Post is at least opening up some prime real estate in DC for others to have a go. The endgame as a private company was bankruptcy and liquidation anyway.
It's hard to avoid mention of it, but note the buzz about which bible Obama used was history, not religion.
Yeah, maybe not the best example. Politicians (and as you point out, even pop artists) quote from it whenever convenient. But mostly you are probably right - they just invoke God and don't actually quote the Bible.
It's not clear how you would lose your data. You can download everything into a zip file. Then you can either parse the stuff yourself or use the import facility at Wordpress or Squarespace. It is probably good advice to make sure you have another copy of everything you depend on the cloud for, but this shutdown is not a good example of what can go wrong.
And, you know, you only have to "endure" the bible if you actually read it. There's a lot of wisdom in that book.
I agree that there is a lot of wisdom there. I disagree that you can avoid it. A big to-do was made of which Bible Obama was sworn in on, just as a simple example. Not that most self-described Christians actually read it, or behave like they've read it.
I don't build my own roads. I don't have my own Department of Defense. I don't have my own power plant. There are lots of things that I depend on the government for. I'd suggest that tracking and intercepting dangerous objects in space is preferable to trying to live underground.

Can't we just stop this discovery period and go about fixing the current issues in the world.
Ignorance is a "current issue".

Remember, as expensive as batteries are, those rail crews are all public unions.
I'd hardly call Clinton a "model Christian"

Only turn it on when a wheelchair is loading. That should give it plenty of time to charge.

Just so the 3D framework lets us separate content from layout...

Well, that's exactly what a Flash game does. It's self-limiting... games can only get as big as some current threshold for network speeds.
You mean Bill Clinton, model Christian, wasn't being sincere about his church appearances??? Surely, you go too far! :)
Answering my own question:
"Oxytetracycline, an antibiotic, is widely used by keepers to get queen bees to lay more eggs."
So there you go!
I'm trying to figure out why there would be antibiotics in it? Do we have bee antibiotics? Or are these flower antibiotics?
