The prison guard unions are quite powerful politically. They're the ones that push for draconian drug laws. Cops, lawyers, judges, most of them aren't for that crap.
History is filled with examples of secure systems that are broken a decade later. If you're paranoid enough, you'd believe the only reason the govt lets people use modern encryption is that they already have quantum computers that can crack them.
The Chinese ain't going to the moon, or to Mars, and we aren't working on long term solutions. We're keeping a couple of people in LEO to do maintenance because the govt would look like idiots if they just deorbited it and let it burn up. Which they'll do as soon as they think they can convince the public that the ISS is near the end of its servicable life.
I belonged to the NSS for the last 15 years, and I've just let my membership lapse. If the human race conquers space, it'll be done by the private sector.
I remember reading somewhere that he just couldn't handle the fact that urine and semen came out of the same orifice. Put him off the whole deal entirely.
Large parts of the movie "The Final Countdown" are true too. Except the part about the Nimitz going back in time to just before Pearl Harbor. But the Pearl Harbor parts were all true.
Uh, Newton, Einstein, other big-name physicists thought that by figuring out the rules of nature, they were getting a glimpse of the face of God. Newton spent a lot more of his life arguing obscure religious arguments than he ever spent on physics and the theory of the calculus.
Science assumes that the universe is governed by a set of rules, that these rules are the same everywhere, and that the rules don't change. If you (or anyone) can demonstrate that's not true, science will accept that and continue. Can't honestly say the same for religion.
The only people that argue that entropy prohibits evolution are people who lack any knowledge of thermodynamics.
You have a problem believing that humans are too complex to "just happen", so you postulate a god that is infinitely more complex. Where did god come from? He "just happened". Yeah. OK.
When you demonstrate the same burden of proof for your faith that you demand from evolution, I'll show the slightest bit of interest in taking you seriously.
You don't know anybody who's had a detached retina? I have a friend whose retina became detached while he was driving down the friggin road. It doesn't require being pummelled by Mike Tyson.

Man, but it's *fun* to shred stuff.
He's saying that people steal stuff.
How exactly is he supposed to see if someone is stealing his trash? Put a camera on it and review the tape every week?
While watching the electric arcs is, I'll admit, entertaining, the horrific stench takes a lot of the fun out of it.
Which is why you do it at work instead of at home, of course.
Please tell me again how many people in the US smoke the rope, and how many people were doing it 30 years ago. It's still illegal.
How many shitty countries have to fail before you realize it just doesn't work?
Actually, they need to raise it to $250 a *song*. So the CDs should be $2500 or so.
You're not counting the cash value of the cocaine and whores. This is the music industry, remember?

Yeah, my 60-year old aunt doesn't need a gun; she can just unload the whole six pack of whoop ass.
But for some of these systems, it'll stop working before the cartridge is empty.

They had a pretty good article about laser and microwave propulsion systems in Scientific American a year or so ago. That'll be the way to go.

So, the Japanese buy stuff that we make better than they do. Like movies, music, Windows XP ;), jumbo jets, microprocessors, beef, pork, etc.
WTF? The American buying the $18,000 car for $22,000 is the one paying the tax, dumbass.
And if you thing the govt will spend that $4000 more effectively than the citizen, you really need to get out more.
Poor countries are tyrannies. As living standards rise, their people will gain freedom.
If you want to improve human rights in other countries, you should be *for* free trade.
It's not a zero sum game. Geesh.

It's not God testing our faith. It's Satan trying to corrupt our souls ;)

Understanding God is easy. Man created God in his own image. Understanding science is hard. Humans evolved to rationalize, not to be rational.

Got UFO on DVD, Space 1999 is on the list.
