Amen. I was talking to someone about the FISA stuff, trying to vent my frustration. She responds with "hmmm, and do you think the allegations of him being a Muslim are true?!"
It took God a whole day to create our sun. Now he's creating them somewhere else at a rate of 11 per day. Did the homosexuals piss Him off again or something?
Definitely the case. Otherwise how can you explain middle class Americans voting for a party who believes the income tax should be structured less progressively?
(Of course, it is much more complex than that, see: Culture War)
1) Bill is submitted with Rider Amendment #7. 2) Bill fails. 3) When asked, people who voted against the bill say they would have voted for it if not for Rider Amendment #7. 4) Bill is submitted with a revised amendment or absent the amendment.
If you vote for the damn thing anyway, why would politicians ever fear adding on seriously controversial rider amendments???
You are genetically able to reproduce. I think that is the point he is making. Would you eat dog shit if you weren't grossed out by it? Maybe, maybe not. But the yuck factor is an evolutionary development that is there to make it more likely you wont.
There was a discussion recently (also need source) where baseload will cause problems for things like wind and solar and vice versa. Baseload energy sources cause wind/solar to be less profitable and therefore areas with good baseload sources will have a huge barrier to wind/solar investment. Similarly, areas with high existing wind/solar infrastructure will have a hard time converting their current baseload to a more green baseload source, like nuke.
No, sorry. He was right. Alt energy has a much lower barrier to entry, especially wind. Huge oil companies don't want to have to compete with ma and pa micro-cap companies. It eliminates profit margins, and that is why investing in wind is a loser in the long run (even if it becomes the #1 source of energy).
No way does the oil business get into wind energy. Wind energy is a long-term loser for a business, as there is almost zero barrier to entry (not so with just about every other alt energy source). Businesses going into wind will see nice profit margins for about 2 days; then competition will increase and profit margins will FALL toward zero.
Huge oil companies are going to jump into a business that a micro-cap company can jump into just as easily?
No, sorry. Oil companies will either transform out of mass energy or they will pick an alt mass energy option that has a higher barrier to entry, like geothermal, nuclear, or hydro.
(Similarly, if you are investing in alternative energy stocks for a long-term play, AVOID WIND. You have been warned.)
There is a common law interpretation that says ex-post factor determination is one-way... meaning no person can be held accountable for something they did at a time when that act was not yet illegal.
Surprise, someone at/. didn't RTFA. The article's argument is that this is about buying a patent for "paid search" (like AdSense/AdWords), not software.
Yeah, and what would be the reason behind people panicking? Could it have anything to do with the scaremongering that has been going on for the last 7 years?
No, it isn't. I guess I am not doing a great job of explaining, so let me repeat more simply: there is strong evidence that there is infinitely graduated inter-neuronal signaling apart from action potentials. This is 5+ year old information, too.

Are you implying that such an effort today would be unable to find any ally?
Amen. I was talking to someone about the FISA stuff, trying to vent my frustration. She responds with "hmmm, and do you think the allegations of him being a Muslim are true?!"
w. t. f.
Our country is doomed.

That's what I meant by transforming out of the energy business. Oil could move into other business like the manufacturing of plastics.
Your point about what it takes to get into wind is exactly my point... next to nothing.
Uh... Is sm62704 a chick? If not, then it's the prospect of reproducing with both of them that is attractive. Pretty straightforward there...
Definitely a valid point, although in this case the amendment for immunity is more well-known than the bill itself.
Don't be ridiculous.
1) Bill is submitted with Rider Amendment #7.
2) Bill fails.
3) When asked, people who voted against the bill say they would have voted for it if not for Rider Amendment #7.

Obama... Grow a spine!

Thought it was an interesting take.

Repeat to yourself: growth != profit.

"Pedantic" (as used in this sentence) is a substantive adjective, which is a noun.
(And, to answer your inevitable follow-up question: no, I don't get laid much.)
Well, good for Obama and his precious image. Only cost us the rule of law.
All hell would break loose if a politician wasn't just looking out for himself/herself.
A+ for his PR dept. But fuck him and the rest of the yeas.
Honestly, I was very near ready to support him, too.

Dear unassimilatible,
Please kill CmdrTaco. It's for 9/11 related activities. You will be immune from legal prosecution.
Thanks,

Why do I get the feeling you only read the first 3-4 paragraphs of the article...
The article really isn't about whether Yahoo is stale or second rate. In fact, it was talking about a particular period of time != present.

Shit. We better smuggle that potential weapon out of Iraq too.
Yeah, and what would be the reason behind people panicking? Could it have anything to do with the scaremongering that has been going on for the last 7 years?
New attack vector: dirty bomb smuggled into US on horse back by dudes with funny hats?
> Walker was appointed to the bench by President Bush
That'd be the first Bush, not the current Bush.
This:
> You should be able to do whatever you want to do with your vote.
seems to be a little at odds with:
> It should be a crime if you did not use your vote at all.
No, it isn't. I guess I am not doing a great job of explaining, so let me repeat more simply: there is strong evidence that there is infinitely graduated inter-neuronal signaling apart from action potentials. This is 5+ year old information, too.
