A "biased source?" Some people will consider anything that doesn't fit their own preconceptions as "biased," I guess.
The fact is, it's only been in the last few generations that science and religion were considered incompatible, and that mostly because of the old, time-tested "groupthink" phenomenon rather than any clear-cut, "unbiased" information.
Many don't realize this, but add "Texas" to Florida in your statement. NASA is a HUGE employer in the Houston area - the Johson Space Flight Center, of course.
Too, you have the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the Stennis Center where the engine testing is done, and that's the New Orleans metro area.
Plus north Alabama (Marshall) and parts of California as well (JPL).
I love it. The "agenda" is destruction of terrorists, which is exactly what has been happening. Yet idiots such as yourself gripe about ONE GUY who no one even knows if he's alive or dead anyway, and who is not in any position to do anything about it.
(Yet your messiah, B. Hussein Obama, insists that all the "bad guys" from the 1993 WTC attacks are "incapacitated." Yeah, right).
For comparison, this is slightly less than 1/330th the budget to-date for the American war effort in Iraq.
However, let the record show that the photographs revealed *NO* al-Qaeda bases on Enceladus. Had there been, just imagine the cost of getting Space Marines up there to clear the place out.
It ain't "going out on a limb" to bash Wal-Mart. It's the safest way to avoid commenting on/. without actually THINKING that there is.
If the 'Net had been around in the 1880s, it'd be "Dang-all, thar's another Sears, Roebuck Catty-log at muh door agin! Them dang-blasted Yankees're tryin' t'run Mr. Drucker's Store outta bidness!"
...Their officers are referring them to shrinks to help them tone down the "yeah, how do you like me now, Ahmed!" and "there's a little sand in your shorts, Ali!" comments that are making it hard for the admins to concentrate on their paperwork.
And very low interest in paying for the TV plus all the other infrastructure that it's going to entail, such as replacing all my Dish Network boxen, paying the upcharge for the HD service, etc.
One problem with my wife's situation is that it is an upscale district in suburban Houston that has its pick of teacher applicants (so much for the "shortage of teachers" canard; if they don't have to worry about their personal safety there's no shortage of people willing to teach).
As a result, there's an unspoken assumption that "hey, if you don't want the job, we can find someone who does." And they're right.
There are quite a few young teachers, from 0 to 5 years experience, who have no children - many are unmarried - and thus have plenty of time to devote to their careers. They are always willing to do this; they think it's "fun." Much of "teacher training" involves socialization, in fact.
But the approximately 50% of teachers who, like my wife, have family obligations to tend to, consider this a heavy burden, but as the saying goes, they "go along to get along."
My original point was that (1) it's not "slavery," but it is coercive, and (2) the main impetus for this is actually the "career-climbing administrators" who get brownie points for this kind of stuff. They choose to give it their all because they have lucrative promotions in sight. The teachers they supervise, however, have no such interest; they just want to teach, make a living, and go home to their families.

But isn't "Web 2.0" and mashups and all that stuff supposed to be a better mousetrap anyway?
Hire a local motorcycle gang to keep order at the Lan party.
Have them bring their pool cues, in case they get bored during the event and want to shoot some eight-ball.
Not to me.

It's KILLER.

He was a scientist, inventor...and devout Mormon.
I know that's a kick in the gut for some here who would prefer to pretend that science and religion cannot coexist, but there you go.
It's just political pandering for Florida.

"NASA pandering" isn't nearly limited to Florida.
...is Obama-speak for "the focus group results just came in the mail, honey."
That'll teach them damn' MOONIES!

Here's the local article from Worcester...
See how bad things have gotten? In today's climate, they'd never have been ABLE to invent Worcester-shire Sauce.
The Communist Chinese government (for the IOC is for now their cats-paw) using the concept of "intellectual property" to quash negative publicity.
Well, Comrade Lenin DID say that the capitalists would "sell us the rope with which we will hang them."
And pull Algore's chestnuts out of the fire.
...THE END OF THE LINE for those guys that dress up in Statue of Liberty or Uncle Sam costumes to drum up business for tax services before April 15?

I got the 9/11 reference, even if the rest of the Nerds didn't.

But in a GOOD way.
