OK, I did read a bit, but it was so stupid I had to stop. Terrible assumptions. I hope TFA does not accurately reflect the study.
In other news, it is often assumed that men are natural drivers, but if women practice motor racing, their brain is rewired to improve performance. Duh!
Researchers led by Ruth Feldman, a psychologist and neuroscientist at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel
This has nothing to do with the US.
I wouldn't say "nothing". US taxpayers have long been propping up Israel to the tune of $billions per year.
That depends what you mean by "need". I once made bread and forgot the salt. Edible, but surprisingly unpleasant, not just bland. I suppose you could get used to it, but why? Moderation can be both healthy and tasty. The problem is very high salt levels in processed and take-away food, not the half-teaspoon added to the pot at home.
if you eat a reasonable quantity of ocean fish, is sufficient.
It is not added sodium. Adding MSG to food reduces the need for common salt. So you should end up with less sodium. As for those people who bury their meal in salt before even tasting it, well, they deserve a heart attack.
Looking at the spec's: a 60 kWHr battery! With that plugged into my house and an array of photovoltaics on the roof, I can tell the electric authority to go **** themselves. (In Western Australia we pay 26c/kWHr, despite having massive natural gas and coal reserves locally. Plus supply charge.)
Figuring that in the Tesla does not look quite so expensive. And as a bonus I can look down on all those carbon-polluting Prius drivers. So the question: will they allow me to use the Tesla battery while parked, or will that kill the battery as surely as my 8-year warranty?
Today that 100 shares gets you no say in how the company is run, no portion of any profits,
What, American companies stopped paying dividends!? If they shifted to buying back shares for tax reasons, directly from you, or indirectly, that still allows you to share the profits. And why would you not get paid if the company is liquidated or bought out?
You ignore the key difference in that Osama was so conservative (and charismatic), if he'd lived in America he'd probably have had his own talk show on Fox news.
C'mon! You did not figure the AC was joking ( or badly trolling) at the mention of New Zealand? NZ does not even have a fighter jet, so I'd say Burkina Faso has a better space capability.
And it does not mean free. You would pay a flat monthly fee based on the max supply (e.g. 100A) like your internet connection may be now. Interestingly, increasing PV solar power is also driving things in that direction. Already, a huge portion of the costs of electricty companies are fixed by capacity, not marginal kwHr costs. So homes with rooftop solar power have their grid power (e.g. nighttime) subsidised by others.
Yeah, we love fracking! Now give us the 2.9 million dollars...
Lawsuit money that is. Green Gold. Texas tea.
Well the first thing you know ol Bob's a millionaire, Doctors said "Bob move away from there" Said "Californy is the place you ought to be" So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
How about a "Not The Nine O'Clock News" reference then?
"In the words of John Cleese, whenever two or three are gathered together in one place, they shall perform the parrot sketch."
You mean, the US still has phones without SIMs? Locked to a carrier!? No wonder cell-phone plans are so expensive compared to the rest of the world then. (When most things are cheaper in the US.) Its sad. The US once led the world in antitrust law enforcement.
You can speculate on the root cause of murder, but simple demographic data explains the different numbers between the US and other developed countries.
The fact is that everywhere, homicide rates differ dramatically by age, gender, race and ethnicity. Some countries show bigger variation than the US does. If you control for those variables, the difference mostly goes away. e.g. compare data for whites of the same age and gender to Western Europe, US Hispanics to Latin America, or African Americans to Africans, and the US data does not look so different.
I don't see why this fact should give rise to cries of racism, when it is just as much sexist and ageist.
15 million light vehicles per year, so over 1 billion dollars, and they say it will save "13 to 15 lives per year and prevent as many as 1,125 injuries annually".
I don't want to get all Tyler Durden, but are there more effective ways of spending all that money? e.g. road improvements or driver education and law enforcement?

Dude, did you even read the article?
Did I what!? Welcome to slashdot, BTW.

Now who are the fools who paid for this so desperately-needed research? Oh yeah. My own government. Once again.
The government has no money. It was paid half by taxpayers, and half by US-bond holders.
But yes, kind of obvious. We used to call it bonding.
Yuck. I mean, each to his own.
Tomato, BTW is naturally loaded with glutamate.
No. There *IS* no need for added salt.

Isn't that for iodine, rather than sodium?

It's not the headphones they want. Jonathan Ive is retiring and they are recruiting Dr Dre to take his place.

It is also "World record Post-it Note sales" day.
See, in Japan, food like that just doesn't exist.
Um, Um, yes it does
Amazing. Oh well, at least we don't have that crap here in Australia.
Here in backwards Portugal, 50 or 100 Mbps is pretty much the norm in big cities...
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a donkey loaded with pirated DVDs. Of course the latency is a kicker.

Once it was "power so cheap we won't even bother to meter it".
No one ever said that about fission reactors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...

Real men design and make their own CPU first.
Real men don't need a CPU. They just whistle into the modem and listen to the response.
Doesn't the show feature an unmarried couple living together?
Who? Not since Howard left Raj to move in with his wife.
Yeah, we love fracking! Now give us the 2.9 million dollars...

Hills that is. Swimmin' pools, clean air.

The egalitarian system may have had benefits, but so does standardized spelling.
Or standardised spelling.
... and capitalisation of Grandma.
You mean, like T-mobile with a SIM?
You mean, the US still has phones without SIMs? Locked to a carrier!?

Bleh, I ment AL, not AZ :)
Most of us would not know the difference anyway. This is an international forum, so please avoid 2LAs and zip-codes.
Alabama? Alaska?

There is an east-west cultural difference here.
In the West, we have "plausible deniability", where we can't be 100% sure they knew they were telling lies.
In the East, a plain-as-day outright lie is more polite than saying "no, we withdraw from your treaty.".
