This morning you were probably looking at the comic at another point in the fourth dimension. xkcd is always funnier if you move the comic along the 4th as you view it.
Oh, I almost totally missed that ground.zero.612 wants his nerd rage orderly, otherwise he would have cued the nerd rage which would have resulted in an unruly mob of rage.
Just out of curiosity...what the hell kind of services are you providing that necessitates discriminating on race? I'm 100% sure that race discriminating for purposes of providing public services is illegal.
Perhaps in 1790 that's all the census needed to know (that and how may slaves you owned), but it's a far different situation now.
Then amend the constitution to empower the government to collect more than an enumeration.
Article I Section 2 - The House
... The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct....
Article I Section 8 - Powers of Congress
...
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
I just had to check.
In 2010 the form has 10 questions and there is only the one form plus 6 questions for each additional person living in the household.
In 2000 there were two forms. The short form had 8 questions plus 6 questions for each additional person living in the household. The long form had 53 questions plus 33 questions for each additional person living in the household.
The primary thing stopping this would be the "Law of Unintended Consequences" AKA if I find my wife's great grandmother slumped dead over her keyboard and what is displaying on the screen is your message I'm so going to find you! by which I mean, enough survivors would call the FBI/police/AG that the law would hunt you down for making "terroristic threats". In other words, don't be stupid.
I hear the "blood brain barrier" is pretty vital. I wonder if there is something common to all cells that could be a target marker... I'm thinking along the lines of what happened to the senator in the second x-men movie, make all the cells lose cohesion. and wear galoshes.
I'm not in a "suburb of Washington DC" but my kids play in the back yard, and there is a 6-foot privacy fence so you would be unlikely to see them playing with the black labrador even if you biked by.
Can anyone give any insight behind how they perform upgrades like this?
FPGAs, of course. It's a test of SCORPION STARE...or maybe the rover ran into something that had to be handled with extreme dispatch. You can read the details here. WARNING: I am not responsible for any consequences that may ensue from your accessing this information without sufficient clearance.
Here's an abstract:
This document describes progress to date in establishing a defensive network capable of repelling wide-scale incursions by reconfiguring the national closed-circuit television surveillance network as a software-controlled look-to-kill multiheaded basilisk. To prevent accidental premature deployment or deliberate exploitation, the SCORPION STARE software is not actually loaded into the camera firmware. Instead, reprogrammable FPGA chips are integrated into all cameras and can be loaded with SCORPION STARE by authorised MAGINOT BLUE STARS users whenever necessary.
Well done sir. The Concrete Jungle by Charles Stross was an entertaining read.
Have you read Scratch Monkey yet?
I can't help noticing that the guy who's holding the eye surgery device he invented is wearing glasses. So I guess this is a either a clever troll or an incompetent scam.
Much like the saying "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" sometimes a joke is just a joke.
So you think its more expensive to send people to the doctor BEFORE they have to go to the ER... ER Costs > Doctors costs .
sigh...
so we have just mandated that people buy insurance (which will be more expensive) so they will likely opt for the cheapest policies available, the ones that only cover catestrophic care like cancer/ms/etc. So they are not going to be going to the doctor any more frequently than they already do cause that would be out of pocket, they will still only seek care when it is an emergency.
the more things change the more they stay the same.

Thought that was supposed to be Wyld Stallyns.

Isn't the ATI screen melding thing to get around Windows 7's limit of four screens, so that windows sees this as a single screen rather than six?
Also, if you read further into the article they show a setup with 24 monitors driven by four cards.

That's what she said.
No, She said "Your Honor, he had a giant morals-scrambling magnet pressed against my head at the time"
Or any LHBS that carries the licensed Rogue ingredient kits should also have Pacman.
Correct me if I am wrong but Lori Drew was acquitted on appeal.
In this context it means: "To detain (a person) in conversation against their will." http://www.allwords.com/word-buttonhole.html
He replaced all the stuff with exact duplicates of the same stuff.
That's a great idea! I'm off to the hall of records with a box of matches!

Not sure about the 2010 but for the 2000 census 1 household out of 10 received an expanded questionnaire.

...in fiction.
I can see what could go right: stealthily delivering an array of genetic changes to women to turn them all into beautiful, bisexual nymphomaniacs.
...who brew beer.
Because if the tumor has metastasized there may be lots of tiny undetectable tumors else/everywhere in the body.
