Sometimes it's just more intelligent to do the less macho thing. In this case I think that Obama is right even though in these people's eyes it'll make the US look like a second or third rate power. Human space flight is really expensive and accomplishes much less than robotic missions can, and the power of robots is going to increase fairly rapidly. Why not for the time being accomplish more science/space exploration with robots? It'll save money and human lives and get more shit done. Seems sensible to me.
So if I disagree with his health care reform am I a racist as well?
Of course not! What I was referring to were those people who call him a Fascist, a Communist, draw Hitler mustaches on his image, and take an effigy of him and instead of burning it which is traditional, tar and feather and hang it, just like a fucking lynching. So if you think I'm unreasonable for saying these people are racist, then yeah, rational debate will be difficult.
Kinetic energy increases at the square of speed, so small reductions in speed have a proportionately great reduction in collision energy.
I think that you should be looking more at the rate of change in momentum of the pedestrian. Since f=ma a bigger 'a' results in a bigger 'f' which is the real killer. The greater the differential velocity between the pedestrian and the car results in the bigger rate of change in momentum.
But I'm just quibbling, and it's been a while since I took Mechanics so maybe someone will correct me.
IMHO, Tea Partiers are the ones trying to stop the full-on march to fascism, not create it. You can not create a fascist government regime by campaigning to strip the government of power! That's just stupid. Look to the ones trying to collect government power.
So which is it: are they trying to stop Communism or Fascism? Because it seems to me that they are equated in the minds of the Teabaggers.
I think what they are really trying to do is stop a black man from governing as President.
So the conclusion is this: People can be induced to reduce their driving speeds when cars are parked along the roadways, when buildings are close to the street, and when those buildings include commercial rather than residential activity.
Wow. These people are idiots. Their plan is to make the roads less safe, so that it forces to make people drive slower, because driving slower makes the roads safer???
Not only that, but they are designing roads that in a few years* will be driven by self driving automobiles. These cars will always drive the optimal speed and so they are just slowing down the cars of the future.
there should be some checksum that shouldn't add up. When a fault is detected, it should go to a backup program about safely shutting down the car.
Or how about a computer redundancy system where a group of computers that are all capable of controlling the car watch the behavior of the computer that is actually controlling the car. Through a voting system they could decide to hand the control of the car over to a another computer in the event that the controlling computer doesn't act in a way that was deemed safe. This way the car could continue to operate normally while signaling that there is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Who knows what kind of mutations would best preserve human life here on Earth . . . or in Space . . . or on another planet? We're infants playing with power tools!
It's about time we got back to good, old-fashioned American, Christian values
Now I know that the Mormons claim that Jesus visited North America after he was "resurrected," but I wasn't aware that they actually converted. It's like the person that said they only used the King James version of the bible, because if "[Middle English] was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!"
I, as a former conservative Christian (now an atheist), find it strange that they feel that god needs the government's help to promote his message. They're going to help GOD ALMIGHTY to get HIS message out because he's obviously having a hard time doing it himself. Kind of like how they are fucking screaming mad if you suggest taking "In God We Trust" off of the currency, meanwhile we spend just about as much as the rest of the world combined on our military.
I for one support PayPal's decision, not because I don't like Cryptome, but because they are a private business making a decision that the feel suits them best.
It's weird that you agree with a decision by a corporation just because it is a private entity. If they decided to bring a bulldozer over to your house and demolish it would you support that because "they are a private business making a decision that the feel suits them best"?
Does this mean that eventually any talented kid who manages to figure out (AKA, reverse engineer) Clapton's or Lifeson's style and sound perfectly, would be in violation of a copyright?
I think that would automatically make Steve Morse's Major Impacts a copyright violator. Check out track one for Clapton and three for Lifeson. The album is a tribute to all of his influences.

Tragically, you're wrong. See, the 9yr old is a member of the Dick van Dyke fan club, and has regular conversations online with him via email.

Oh yeah, I'd play that game!

And the middle finger is the new raised eyebrow.
Oddly, a grand jury found reason enough to charge, and a second criminal jury found reason enough to convict.
Oddly, not all laws are just.
Title is sensationalist, has nothing to with the first article. And well, parent has rightly pointed out the FUD-ness of the 2nd article.
I know, I read the title as:

If the coffee party is non-conservative, why isn't it called the Half-caf-latte-no-whip-mochachino-with-sprinkles party?
Just because the coffee party lacks the BDSM part of the tea-baggers doesn't mean they're "no-whip"!
Well said sir!

MS's ability to name things has always be bad.
Maybe Microsoft's wit for naming things is rubbing off on Apple. I mean really, iPad!?
Heh, Microsoft could say this is like an iPad, but with wings.
