It is time for the government to step aside from manned space flight and let private enterprise lead, if there is a market.
If there is no market for manned space flight, then using your taxpayer dollars for it is simple misallocation and waste of resources. Ask the Soviets what the ultimate outcome of such State resource management is.
To ignore that it was not murderous Mao who increased life expectancy in China, but the simple spread of Western-greed-invented technologies such as vaccines, antibiotics, motor engines, and fertilizers.
It is not what the genocidal regime introduced that is its crime; it is how it delayed its adoption.
Alright, then: what about Manchester's very own "The Salford Advertiser":
A police spokesperson confirmed that they had questioned Codie with regard to a Section Five Racial Public Order offence and that she had been kept in a juvenile unit, not a police cell.
"The unit is not particularly threatening, it has picture windows and comfy furniture and she would have been checked on regularly by trained staff.
"She was definitely not locked up for over six hours."
You know, one might call it the Four Seasons or the Shangri-Lah, but if one is there arrested, deprived of freedom, fingerprinted, DNAd and now apparently on a "children" database accessible to only 390,000 people, perhaps one can insist on calling it a "cell".
So, will they include in the database the 14-yr old Greater Manchester girl arrested for telling her teacher "can I change groups because I can't understand them?"
The others where speaking Urdu and the the assignment was "discuss."
So, when will a 200-strong unit UK government office flood the internet with 'positive' interpretations of Buddhism?
After all, don't we want young Buddhists to be much less likely to be directed to extremist material online?
Oh, sorry, forgot the UK government only sponsors your religion when you are violent. If you are peaceful, you are on your own. Do your own damn PR!
"it wants to 'flood the internet' with 'positive' interpretations of Islam and plans to train government-approved groups in search engine optimization techniques"
You deceive yourself.
Regulated utilities in the US will eventually pass any cost increases to consumers. As the utility has to generate 100% more power than marked on your bulb, your rates will go up proportionally on your bill.
Not bringing up votes on bills that the Speaker doesn't like is very standard practice and has gone on for decades.
Yes, but the Republicans know that the people are tired of high oil prices and the Republicans want Congress to stop prohibiting oil exploration in most of our seas.
Nuclear had not been invented
Transistor had not been invented
No-one had been to space
Materials science could not build a jet engine
Laser did not exist
Radar had not been imagined
Are you seriously saying we go to ultra-expensive solar/wind today because of a resource that you think may run out in 200 years?
His comment about who is this Dell person...
1. Neatly summarizes why Dell was wrong (Apple was the innovator and he was unable to see it)
2. Is clearly the best payback for Dell kicking Apple in the groin when Apple was down.
Mod him up!
So Miers once worked for the Great Satan.... so what?
By that logic, any attorney who ever worked for a client _you_ don't like, should be disqualified from becoming a judge. And what about attorneys who defend people accused of murder, especially if the accused end up being convicted of murder?
Are you then going to say the attorney is a bad attorney because she "defended child murderers who ended up in the electric chair" ?
True, attorneys often have a choice on whether to take a client or not (especially if they are a partner or have a private practice), and their client selection sometimes says something of their maturity and personality; but this is not always the case. To generalize, is simply to throw mud for the sake of muddying up; of biting ankles just for anklebiting.
The BBC makes it sound as if the palms accidentally died as a result of war, when in fact the genocidal dictator purposefully ordered them starved of water.
The BBC... shielding Saddam from criticism 'til the bitter end.
So... I have the QT MPEG-2 decoder.
OS X 10.3.7
1.5Ghz PB
1GB RAM
Finder.... restarts if one hits "play" on preview window
QT... opens huge yyyyy x 1080 window, no audio, no video, crashes, sends report to Apple
iDVD... can't import the file
iMovie... starts to import the file, then interrupts import
VLC Player... works, but image choppy when camera pans. Still, they do a lot better than Apple. Paused image quality is amazing.

You left off, "While smugly lecturing the US."

[..] A complaint was made and she was taken to a police station.
[...] her fingerprints and DNA samples were taken and she was put in a cell.
[...] Greater Manchester Police said it took hate crime reports very seriously and its treatment of the teenager was in line with normal procedure.

I'd like to see the database entry for the arrested girl.
Luddites, by their very nature, are starry-eyed naifs. Just look at his comment about jobs, as if jobs were cost-free.

Apple has sold Personal Computers (PC's) since 1976. What part of "every Macintosh is a PC" don't you understand? Cheers,

Yeah. That's the ticket. The ticket for The Road to Serfdom ---read Alexander Hayek.

It is hard to see what the problem is beyond a dog-in-the-mangerish desire not to give anything away. Time to open it up, boys.
