It looks like someone's invented new new new math. *sigh* The real problem is that every generation, a new crop of GENIUSES thinks they have a better idea for teaching mathematics.
I mean, can you imagine making that call to your dead loved-one's phone, hearing it ringing, knowing it's ringing beside their remains, six feet under?
Not really. There's no way you could get a signal down there!
Thanks for the rhetoric, Mr. Ayers. It's a shame you didn't set off more bombs in your heyday, eh? We could have had the socialist utopia you crave without having to assume this faux image of respectability.
How is "series of tubes" describing a radio, again? Sure, you could have a series of vacuum diodes, but how do they get "clogged"? You are really reaching. I don't like the guy either, but let's not be silly.
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
If you think that what he described sounded anything like a vacuum tube, then YOU are the one with technology FAIL.
Marriage is a concept with many variations across the world. Why is your variation better than anyone else's?
He didn't say it was, which is why he wanted to simply end the debate by removing the government's ability to say NO. That's pro-freedom. If that someone doesn't think gay marriage is legitimate bothers you, TOUGH. You have no right to be offended and you have to right to charge others with thought crimes.
I care about retaining the meaning of the word marriage. I really could care less about gays living together, and quite honestly I think that the tax/medical/whatever benefits available to married couples should be extended to any two cohabitating people. Including the 60-year-old widow taking care of her 80-year-old mother.
You stole my idea; seriously. Unfortunately, although I think it's the perfect solution as it reduces the power of government and returns it to the people, we're probably the only two people who actually like the idea.
Yes he did, back in 2003. Unfortunately, Barney Frank stalled it, claiming that "these two entities-- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-- are not facing any kind of financial crisis". Then when the Democrats introduced their own after it was too late, they claimed the Bush administration "failed to make it a priority".
I agree with the article that TOS set designer did a good job overall. But there were definitely elements of the design that were not very forward-looking. Spock had a MECHANICAL COUNTER at his station!

Yes... pretty poor considering that I found this nifty thing on the top row of my keyboard: _
Where are you from, so that I can make up a ridiculous name for your nationality?

I'm not a conservative, and your scolding adds nothing to the discussion. Go away.

Save a few bucks by replacing the accurate archer with "archer who sucks, but is persistent and has lots of arrows". Oh, and fire insurance.
Yeah, I think that's how they got that coffin to pop out of the kitchen floor in "Poltergeist".
Because he didn't pay taxes?

My statement also describes Judaism and Christianity.
I was kind of thinking they could have used a CRT!

Actually, we all deserve to die and we're going to get what we deserve.

I'm just a butt.
Yes, I'm totally a jerkface.
And I'm pooping here on slashdot.
FTFY. The Democrats have a majority in both houses (and a supermajority in one): they don't need to convince the Republicans.

*sigh* Do I have to link to this AGAIN? Some disasters are caused by policy change due to political pressure.
Watch Olbermann or Maddow much?
Oh, give it up Janeane!
Good luck teleporting out.
