It's imperial, not "imperical". But you knew that, since slashdot draws that funny squiggly red line under a misspelled word. My favorite is the 60 units used in the clock. 60 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30. 60, 72, 84, 90, and 96 each have 10 divisors not counting 1 and themselves. Compare to 100, which is only divisible by 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50.
You are correct in terms of government, but not in terms of makeup. It was overwhelmingly Christian in terms of makeup at formation, and for a large majority of its history.
As a matter of fact, a recent poll shows adults residing in the US is still overwhelmingly claim Christian affiliation. I'm not sure I believe this necessarily represents their true innermost beliefs, but there you go. I don't have any better evidence.
That was Ron Paul entering a minefield. The Christian bigots resented being shown up as hypocrites, and the atheist bigots hated his temerity for DARING to use anything tainted by religion.
Remorse has NOTHING to do with guilt. When prosecution says "Joe Blow shows no remorse, even now," he has left out the unsaid part "Joe Blow shows no remorse, even now, and we all know he is guilty as hell". The implication is that a legal finding in court cannot POSSIBLY be in error. A sane man knows that is a lie. The man wrongly found guilty is faced with Catch 22 when he makes his final statement before sentencing: show remorse and likely gain a lesser sentence - or maintain innocence. But if he shows remorse he is crippling further appeals to prove his innocence.
In fact, SHOWING remorse should have nothing to do with ANYTHING. Maybe it just means he's a good actor. Until we have a remorse genuineness detector (i.e., until never) this bullshit is just a coercive tool for the prosecution.
Straw man. Anonymous Coward said nothing about shielding from monetary risk. He made it quite clear he was talking about shielding from accountability. Absent gross fraud and the like, the corporation takes the fall and shields the principles. That's what corporations are FOR. A corporation is a legally sponsored mechanism for getting away with things no one could personally get away with.
Dude. The Americans are out of Iraq from a fighting perspective, and getting damn close to skedaddling from Afghanistan. In the process the nation has gone flat broke and confidence in the government is at an all time low. Would you suggest we lash out at Iran in spite?
There are real issues at play here, and arguments for various options, but none of what you said touches on any of them.
Senseless gimmick is right. Jesus christ. You can't assign a percentage figure to the chance that a particular war will break out. It's infantile. You just can't quantify it. It's all guesswork. Most of it is breathtakingly uninformed guesswork.
Idiot. Trieste was self contained and (barely) self mobile horizontally, just like this thing. This thing can go up and down faster; and it has better batteries. And it uses syntactic foam for buoyancy instead of a thin hull filled with gasoline. That's basically it.
Don't get me wrong; it's an improvement, and I'm happy to see the project under way. But both vehicles are minimally mobile down there. We're talking a fraction of a kilometer per hour.
The TSA needs to be disbanded at once with prejudice. It is nothing but kabuki theater masking fascism. It has no place in the America of our founders.
What an asinine comment. Modern diesel engines are REGULATED for particulate emission. They have PARTICULATE TRAPS in the exhaust, which periodically get regenerated using ultra high heat. The inside of the exhaust pipe remains bright and shiny. They first were required in US passenger cars, but regulation is progressively expanding to light trucks, heavy trucks, rail, and marine.
This is mostly an old wives' tale that sorta used to be true ages ago, but is certainly not true today. With modern distillation technology, you can vary the ratio of various products pretty much the way you want.

They just don't.
Both groups are right.

Yeah, riiiiight.

Agreed. Sheesh, you'd think they could afford to raise the power of the signal, or add more sites.
GPS already has to take account of both general and special relativity. It wouldn't be much good if it didn't.
Thanks a lot. Now I am disturbed. Everybody knows the nucleus is a bunch of little round colored balls globbed together.

In Boston ALL roads are jammed from 12 midnight to 12 midnight and have been for a LONG time.

Too bad you had to actually do work to develop and support your app.

A lot of things are a bit "off" in Tehran.

Off shore wind is just about the most expensive of all forms of electrical generation.

Well?
Yes, we think Ahmadinejad and the ayatollahs are that stupid. Plainly.
Next question.
I'll be 93, sonny. I'll probably have trouble even hearing it.
