Isn't fear a far more basic driving instinct than aggression? Wars are started and anger expressed because humans experience fear - not the other way around.
Would other religions and xenophobes be less violent if they didn't experience fear?
I'm no historian, but here is my take so forgive me if I am wrong:
When Fidel Casto's party overthrew the government in 1953 there were many US owned businesses and properties that were basically stolen by that new government. It was a hostile act and the US was acting to protect the interests of its citizens without using force. It's not the result of a bunch of old voters in Florida, but the US attempt to get restitution for taken property in a peaceful manner. At this point it seems pointless to maintain the embargo since in all these years it hasn't achieved its goal.
You are certainly not alone. I enjoy NetHack, but Omega has many advantages over NetHack: better story involvement, training via a mentor, and it was actually a bit more fun to play. Omega is not forgotten.
It's not voodoo, there is an abundance of secure scientific evidence from observational data that supports the existence of dark matter. Galaxies do not spin apart, but the stars are held in by the force of gravity that is greater than can be accounted for by objects that emit light within that galaxy. The problem with Dark Matter is that it has not been definitively detected. It's either Dark Matter/Dark Energy or the laws of physics need to be completly rewritten.

This statement is inaccurate:
"...predominant theories about the composition of the universe didn't assume 80 percent of it was made up of invisible dark matter"
80% of the universe is made up of with Dark Matter and Dark Energy.
The theories suggests the universe is made up of about 27% dark matter (not 80%) which is the subject of the article. Dark energy is a sort of negative gravity and is the force pushing galaxies apart faster and not relevant to this article's topic. Dark energy makes up most of the energy mass of the universe at 68%. Taken together they make up 80%, but affect the universe in completely different ways.

I tape a sign to the door if I have a conference call so they (wife and kids) know not to disturb me.
Lock the door if you get bothered. Plus have some music handy in case there is a distracting noise (trash truck, kids, annoying spouse). It helps drown out some distractions.
Also keep distractions out of the office (ie. games, keyboards, guitars, etc).
I take frequent breaks using WorkRave at least every 15 mins so I remember to sit up, move and relax my eyes.
After reading the abstract on 5,585,838 you mention, I wonder how does this not apply to my Dish DVR system (or any other logical DVR system one might create for that matter).
I remember that the culture of NASA at the time made anyone who questioned what has happened afraid to speak up. Will a fast computer really change that?

The safest code is that which is never run. That doesn't mean you want to go there.
I don't understand, does this mean that suicide bombing is also already forbidden?

Wasn't there a remotely detonated bomb using a cellphone a while back? Bomb squads could use the device to sniff out transmitters.
If he were in my company he'd be promoted. It seems like the people who make the really big screw ups move up the fastest.
