The Soviets considered that option, but concluded that a non-reusable system was cheaper and safer. Once they had a reliable design they just kept building copies (and still do).
The US government will probably make a profit on the loans made to banks during the bailout. The "shovel ready" projects were what cost trillions and didn't create any real jobs.
What cost consumers (who took out the bad loans) was the requirement that banks make a certain percentage of mortgage loans to unqualified borrowers. Those changes were forced through in the 90's and resulted in the housing bubble and inevitable collapse that followed.
You obviously never took an accounting course. He's taking up a slot in grad school that is either filled by a grad assistant (who doesn't pay tuition) or a grad student who does pay tuition. Think about the difference to the school.
it would be hard to make the case that our civilization would be worse off with more highly educated individuals, regardless of their "economic" usefulness
No, not hard at all. We as a society reward what is useful to us. A certain amount of biomedical research is valuable and we fund it; but after it reaches a certain level the value (and hence the reward) drops off. Obviously it wouldn't serve us to have 95% of the workforce doing biomedical research while we all starve to death because there aren't any farmers, you need to draw the line somewhere.
The real problems are payloads that were initially put in low orbit with a booster to lift them into their final orbit. Lots of space junk happens when the booster explodes.
Time already offers digital subscriptions. All this does is add the ability to subscribe through Newsstand. A nice win for Apple, but it sounds like Time got the concessions they wanted in order to make the deal.
..if direct democracy helped them decide whether to allow collective bargaining by unions. Those who suggest direct democracy bypasses big money need to take a look at how well it worked there.
The code might be ugly, but the next time a user says to you "All I really need it to do is X", pay attention to them. They don't care how well written it is if it does X, that's their only requirement.
Germany recently ran a full day on 50% solar power
Um, no. They touched 50% for a short time around noon on a comfortable Saturday when factories were closed and nobody needed heat or A/C.
In the mean time China is rather successfully countering the growth of its population
China's policies have reduced population growth, but the side effects of that problem are huge. Many female babies have been aborted, killed, or sent overseas for adoption. They now have a serious imbalance of men to women. A better example of how to get population under control is what Mexico did in the 80's and 90's; they have other problems with drug gangs but they did it right with population.
One of the messages of the latest NLRB memo is to avoid ambiguous language in social media policies and spell out situations to avoid, said Mayer Brown's Goodman...The NLRB seems to be on a "journey" to address social media in the workplace, Goodman said. The three memos, which don't lay out specific rules, may be confusing to many companies, she added.
NLRB kinda sorta said what companies might should do; e.g. Don't be ambiguous. but they didn't exactly say how. Good work guys.
... and very few typos or grammatical errors that I can spot. The author was obviously well educated and a good typist (albeit he had a crappy typewriter). Probably the Unibomber.
It's the other way around; Occupy is trying to be the seed that starts the social cascade. Their problem is twofold though 1) They represent far, far less than the necessary seed size, and 2) Their attempts to initiate tipping incidents don't result in any cascade because the 99% they claim as sympathizers aren't.
Earhart and Noonan missed the island because the chart they had was wrong and the plane's radio receiver wasn't working. They arrived at the spot where the chart said the island was and did everything right to find it.
The UN will continue to float proposals for taxing rich countries and transferring the wealth to poor ones. Carbon tax is the biggest part of the global warming debate, now an Internet tax; who knows what they'll try next. Once the door is open a crack they're on their way.
...because it's too expensive. The blogger's "nicely laid out math" is absurd though. Take down notices seem to get the job done (albeit often imperfectly).
CNN used to be blatantly biased against President Bush. After he left office their coverage might have become less biased; I wouldn't know though since I became disgusted with CNN several years ago.
As far as referring to the men as "Mr." vs. "President" I don't see any difference in coverage. Most writers will mix it up within an article to avoid repetition.

Do you know what the "I" in ISS stands for? Can you guess why it wasn't a US only mission?
Not unless it had a big honking fuel tank that nobody saw. Changing orbit takes a huge amount of energy.

You mean like the $30+ billion the US spends on medical research? Oh wait, that doesn't count because it's funded by taxpayers in the evil country you hate so much.

When pictures are taken in winter or early spring, trees aren't an issue.

C++ was Microsoft's language of choice. Without Visual C++ it would've gone nowhere, because that's where all the programmers learned to use it.
Java was Sun's response to Visual C++.

Money is an incentive; more money means better choices available. Without the reqard there is no incentive to work or produce anything.
Not only going fast, but accelerating the entire time!
Satellites are used where aircraft can't safely fly. Domestic surveillance can be done far cheaper/better without using satellites.
