to target politicians? Ack, that could be worse. Singing politicians?! Makes my brain hurt. Oh, wait, we really want to target the bullsh*t centers of the brain. Then again, when it comes to politicians, the target is HUGE. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
What's heroic about playing a guitar? Man, our society is going down the drain. There's an obscenely large sign on I-40 in Oklahoma proclaiming the town of Muskogee as the hometown of Carrie Underwear, American Idol 2005. Tax dollars paid for that sign (never mind the tax dollars to maintain it). WTF?!?!
in "Fountains of Paradise". The discovery of an extraterrestrial intelligence completely invalidates all of the Earth's religions on the grounds that the Earth is no longer the center of the universe and that humans are no longer the sole intelligence in the universe. These premises are the keystone of all religions.
Religion is the best bullsh*t story of all time. There's an invisible man who lives up in the sky and he watches everything you do every minute of every day for your entire life. And if you're bad, there's a place he sends you where it's fire and pain for all eternity...but he loves you...and he needs money. IMHO, sure it's possible that there's a supreme being but I'm sure that it's something so far beyond human comprehension that for any person to claim they know is typical human arrogance. Those who claim that things like GTA IV erode society conveniently choose to ignore the fact that every religion has been distorted for the twisted desires of a few people. Islam is just the current flavor. Don't forget The Inquisition on the Christian side of things. "Thou shalt not kill" which really was written as "Thou shalt not commit murder" (distortion already) is paraphrased as "Thou shalt not kill...unless it's someone who doesn't believe in the same invisible being as you do." I'm a conservative. When did the evangelicals get their talons into that ideal? "Abortion is murder"? Okay, wiseguy, who's going to pay for the kid's existence if you pooh pooh welfare? That unwanted kid is probably going to end up being an entitlement-mentality liberal. Stick that in your peace-pipe and smoke it.
Ever since Space: 1999 showed communicators with little TV screens in them, that's the what communication should look like. Hell, even Star Trek didn't have that. Then again, they could talk from orbit to deep inside... the... center... of... a... dead... planet... buried alive... buried alive. *Shakes uncontrollably* KAHNNNN!!!!!!!!
But the damn cellphone companies take us backward a hundred years to something that's one step removed from Morse code. Hell, even the FCC figured out that hams don't need it anymore.
GAH!!!!
The operatives of Al Qaeda are religious zealots. They believe beyond a shadow of a doubt in the words in the Koran. The leaders are the puppet masters. They use the mind-numbed robot nature of their members as a tool to engage in geopolitical conflict. You can no more convince the Muslim zealot that they are violating the spirit of Islam than you can convince the Christian fundamentalist evangelist that creationism is bogus. Let's not forget that the Catholic church invented the Inquisition (what a show) to keep people who question church authority in line. The concept wasn't about religion. It was about power and control. Religion was the tool. The Inquisition's operatives were extreme believers and ignored the intent behind the mission.
Al Qaeda's and Islamic fundamentalist leaders have a basic goal: world domination. They are no different than Atilla the Hun, Hitler, or Stalin.
I flew from LA to Boston two weeks after 9/11. On my return trip, I noticed that there were many visible soldiers with M16's on patrol throughout Logan and especially at security. By contrast, when I was outbound in LAX security I saw some TSA employee on the other side of the metal detectors READING THE F*CKING NEWSPAPER!!!! WAS THIS A**HOLE LIVING UNDER A ROCK FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS?!?!
I worked at a Fortune 500 company that had the classic Mac vs. PC battle. I oversaw the Macs used in design and constantly fought the morons in the IT department. In a corporate environment, what it ultimately boils down to is head-count. One person can administer around 100 Macs (and these were early 90s Macs which are much more problematic than today's machines). The quantity of PCs one person can handle is MUCH smaller thus more people are needed. To the chief information officer, that means they command more people and have more power.
What the grid needs is a massive storage system. I'd venture to say that a large percentage of generated power just disappears because it isn't consumed. I remember reading a Popular Science article about these huge underground flywheels for doing just this.
You've got a golden opportunity here. Give your kid a little more credit. They can understand a whole lot more than we adults think especially with your guidance. Maybe their attention span is shorter but then just stop the tape after 30 minutes and pick it up later. If their into the content they'll ask for more. Cosmos and Connections are great.
I started my first business out of total frustration with working at a Fortune 500 company who made politics instead of product. It wasn't a huge success but it earned me a lot more money and lasted a good 10 years. And it enabled me to start my second business. Never forget that the B students work for the A students at companies started by the C students.
Years ago the NSA was spending boatloads of money to put copper shielding on all of their PCs and other gear. Then some smart engineer suggested that they shield the entire headquarters building. Nifty.
Give me an effing break. The lawyers use this as an excuse to get out of the office, go play golf, and stay at the Ritz Carlton all on their clients' dime. Who the hell are you kidding?
If this were true and given the decidedly and obviously left-wing, anti-bush, anti-war stance of the media, the editors of these media outlets would have cried foul YEARS ago. If this were true it only shows the total incompetence of the media's reporters, researchers, and commentators.
As an employer (and business owner), I could care less what their GPA is. They may have taken nothing but fluff courses. In my experience, employers don't ask for a transcript. There's a saying that goes "The B students work for the A students at companies started by the C students."
Nobody will care about your GPA and/or class-rank after you graduate. If your goal is to get a job using CS or Engineering, it's all going to be about the projects you've worked on and what your contributions were. If the school doesn't require you to take English classes especially creative writing, take it anyway. You have to be able to communicate effectively. Also, find out how much practical application of the knowledge you are going to be doing. Nobody will hire you if you do nothing but theorize about stuff. Employers will want to know if you can dig right in a start designing or coding.
1) Nooclear power is 2 cents a kilowatt.
2) The dumbass environmental nazi weenies will never allow a 8464 square mile chunk of land for it. "Oh, those poor little 'sensitive' (read: non-existent) species won't have any nesting grounds."
The very nature of this article is a tautology. The study concludes that men just don't get it but fails to illustrate the accurate meaning of the expressions. Men are shown pictures of women and asked to describe what their expression tells them. But none of these women were asked "What were you thinking when I took this picture?" to establish fact. So basically the study really says "We didn't mean what you thought we meant AND we're not going to tell you what we REALLY meant in order to maintain all the power." Sounds to me like women are Schrödinger's cat come to life. To the outside male observer, a women is simultaneously interested and not interested. "Looking at the cakes is like looking into the Future. Until you've tasted it, what do you really know. And then, of course, it's too late. (long pause. takes bite.) Too late."
And WAY more than you get on The Learning Channel these days. Watching a show that spouts off what some moron thinks I should wear is about as useful as the hundreds of sports channels which usually have nothing on them anyway and the fifty or so shopping channels. GAH!!!

Now we don't have to buy an Amy Winehouse album to know what she sounds like.
