They share a western border with Iraq and an eastern border with Afghanistan. In the last 60 years the US has helped overthrow one of their leaders, supported one of their enemies in a pretty devastating war against them, many of our top officials have threated regime change against their government, and over the last several years we've funded various non-governmental organizations within Iran with the goal of undermining their leadership.
I don't support Iran's government in the least but we've made their claims of Western interference a very easy sell and I'm not that convinced that we've ever stopped interfering with their admittedly crappy government.
We wall these areas off and turn them into Escape from New York style maximum security prisons. As long as we don't fly Air Force One over that airspace we should be OK. Kurt Russell is getting a bit too old to keep helping us out with that sort of thing.
This technology will only be available to a tiny fraction of the world's population for the foreseeable future and I suspect the effect will be more than offset by the less discriminating beer-goggles effect.
Non-compete restrictions in employment contracts are common in software development work and are another flavor of this issue. What these companies have done is more insidious because they aren't asking employees to agree to being locked out of major portions of the job market for their skills.
The result of this is that you often can't work in the industry for years after leaving your job. To insist that employees have experience when they are hired and then prevent them from using it when they leave seems wrong.
A lot of mercury is released into the atmosphere from burning coal for electricity. According to the Australian version of the EPA, powering a traditional incandescent light bulb will release of about 13.4mg of mercury over its lifetime versus 2.7mg for a CF bulb. CF bulbs contain 5mg of mercury or less so if you didn't recycle any you'd still release less mercury than would have been released by an incandescent bulb.
Home Depot recycles them for free now and infrastructure to recycle them is spreading all of the time.
I have another cell phone idea. Rig up the pre-paid cell phone to shoot emergency flares when the number is dialed. The wiring should be similar to the IED designs the insurgency has been using in Iraq but you'll want to substitute the bomb bit for a emergency flare. I really can't stress enough how important that last part is. Now, affix the device on some sturdy head ware. You'll probably want to base this hat on a steel wok and just add a chin strap and remove any handles. Now all you need to do is mount the device on top of the inverted wok/hat and you're all set.
If your kid goes missing just dial the number and even if you don't see the flares I'm pretty sure someone will contact you shortly after flaming rockets erupt from your child's hat. Wrong numbers might be an issue but it's a small price to pay for safety.
The Jews have already had their revenge on the COS. The Kabbalah bunch have superior star power over the Scientologists now and have even managed to sell magic string and magic water to profoundly stupid celebrities.
I'm not talking about the Jehovah's Witness booklet thing but the space station the Justice League uses for a base. I'm not quite so sure that we should turn an important part of the internet over to aliens, mutants, robots, and magicians but the wealthy, tech-savvy folk of the Justice League seem like a good bunch to run DNS. They really shouldn't host the actual servers in orbit as it would be expensive on hardware and maintenance, logistically difficult to accomplish, and most importantly response times would suffer.
That sucks. Now if I want to sneak something onto a plane that I can't swallow I'll have to skin a fat person and make a suit of their flesh. On the bright side it also works pretty well for sneaking outside food into the movie theater.
Cost isn't always just the money you spend, it's also the consequence of what you don't do. We're already seeing the economic consequences of global warming and there is no reason to believe that this won't continue to be a more serious problem.
What climate change critics often say is that the science isn't good enough yet. What they mean is migrating away from burning billions of barrels of petroleum and billions of tons of coal for cheap energy is hard, expensive work that we can kick down the road until it's someone else's problem.
There are better ways to present aspects of computer use that women tend to value. Instead of talking about recipes they could have presented that as exploring hobbies and interests on the web. In that context cooking sounds interesting. Instead of dieting they should have talked about nutrition. Instead of talking about buying clothes they could talk about style and fashion and design. I don't think they said anything about gossiping but they could have talked about staying in touch with old friends on social networking sites.
This approach has the advantage of appealing to a wide range of women from lesbian goth college students to Mormon grandmothers. I don't think what they did was wrong but it was painfully stupid.
High speed rail is pretty efficient at moving people when compared to cars or planes even without the solar angle but I'd prioritize work on the existing projects and extend deployment to link the Midwest to the East Coast.
Latin America has had a few goes at this sort of thing in the past. One common outcome is that leaders looking to better the the quality of life for their people by maintaining fairly tight controls on these kinds of resources are called communists. Certainly some of these efforts have been ill conceived or terribly implemented or blatant power grabs but their governments are often overthrown violently by dictators aided by outsiders in exchange for the right to pillage those resources.
I don't see why lithium should be any different but for their sake I hope so.
As long as they don't factor in where the bytes are coming from when it comes to calculating usage then it shouldn't be a Neutrality issue. If some provider like Time Warner had an agreement that overages from Hulu were OK but overages from Youtube weren't then we'd be looking at a Neutrality issue.
I could be wrong but I read that the city running Greenlight asked Time Warner Cable if they would offer better, higher speed service to the city and when they didn't the city started their own ISP. It seems like they aren't interested in competing.
Average Number of Deaths per Year in the U.S:
Bee/Wasp - 53
Spider - 6.5
Scorpion - 0.5
Centipede - 0.5
Given an average American's lifespan bugs are more dangerous than terrorists. As for the world in general the top animal killer is the mosquito which helps help kill about 3 million people per year. Thank god they didn't see a bug.
Unless you want to pit your galleys against Aztec ironclads you'll want an R&D of 20% until you get infantry and artillery. After that you can dial it down to 10% and focus on production.
You can learn valuable information for little to no cost now but that doesn't replace other valuable parts of a college experience. When you don't need a classroom you don't need to physically attend a college which sounds nice initially. The system he's suggesting doesn't create many significant networking opportunities and connecting with peers to build future job prospects is very valuable. In general technical folk don't tend to see the full utility of this but it is good to know people in your field.
While it is likely to reduce cost I doubt it will reduce price in a meaningful way which means we'll be effectively trading convenience for value.
The main problem with the adoption of diesel cars in the US is the perception that they are loud, smelly, expensive to maintain, boring to drive, and unreliable.
I'm not sure what we can do about most of those problems but there is good progress on the smelly front. The transition to much lower sulfur diesel came about a bit earlier in most of Europe than in the US but we've mostly caught up. This should be publicized a bit more because the experience most people have with diesel is choking on fumes behind an idling bus.

Feral crackheads will swing from tree to tree like Tarzan, battling beast and man alike for dominion over the urban green spaces.

Kidnapping people and putting them to work against their will is called slavery.

Maybe I'll be able to get my head and crotch zoned as agricultural now. My efforts to get them zoned commercial were deemed illegal outside of Nevada.

It seems they've been successfully terrorized.
