His problem (and mine) is that the summary basically says "After you adjust for not polling enough democrats, you need to adjust for not polling enough democrats."
Yes, folks should use more polite terms, like, "Pussy Galore" (James Bond)
We took the kids to a movie (forget which one) and that was where I first saw a promo for "Cats and Dogs 2: The revenge of Kitty Galore" My wife couldn't understand why I was laughing. She was only mildly amused when I explained.
Sorry, I missed which country is invading the other.
In a US-China armed conflict, there would be relatively few bystanders. UK, Canada, and Australia are just about a given as allies for any US conflict. If it's against China, it's hard to imagine Japan and South Korea as anything but fervent US supporters. Without even bothering to consider where the rest of world would land (and more importantly, is there anyone who would fight alongside China that could effectively ship resources to them once US submarines hit the field?), that gives the US-led side a massive advantage in natural resources, and friendly staging areas right at China's front door. It would be a nasty conflict, but I suspect fought almost entirely in or around China.
Blocking out the sun in any significant ways seems kind of... difficult. Do we have the knowledge and resources to even build one and maneuver it? Is this any more useful than banning time travel?
The articles I can find via google claim that the 60/40 mix has the lowest odds for a traffic jam. I used the phrase "most efficient" to describe that. I used it somewhat casually, but if you've got a specific definition for traffic efficiency I'll be willing to consider using it.
I remember reading not too long ago that traffic is at its most efficient when approx 40% of the drivers are willing to break the rules. 0% apparently brings things to a screeching halt.
I work for a high volume very mainstream site. I just checked our numbers for yesterday, and we had: IE 58% FF 22% Chrome 7%
or roughly 9:3:1 as you move from browser to browser.
I didn't break it down any further than that. Our demographics favor women generally and moms in particular, and are mostly from North America, or so marketing tells us. Take that however you want.
As to your footnote, I've heard the phrase "heavily skewed" many times. If you're in the 'usage defines language' camp, then your phrase is just fine.
TFA said so. Apparently that's why all caps is not the standard. I wasn't able to find a study to cite in 20 seconds, and then I lost interest in the topic.
It's somewhat irritating to try to get a map of the area in question, since the area in question is the TOWN of Hempstead (basically the southern half of Nassau County, minus the stuff that borders Suffolk like Massapequa), whereas the map you've linked to focuses on the VILLAGE of Hempstead, which is a teeny little piece of the town.

And the Holland tunnel connects NYC to New Jersey.
Why don't you guys just ban filibustering?
That'd be a terrible idea. It's one of our key tools in introducing gridlock. Remove it and they'll get more done, which is extremely bad.
Man, one comment and already my idea for a post is redundant...
FWIW, my line would have been "Scientists report that they're quite delicious."
His problem (and mine) is that the summary basically says "After you adjust for not polling enough democrats, you need to adjust for not polling enough democrats."
You've got it backwards. It's actually "billions and billions".
What if they manage to launch from the middle of the Atlantic or some similar idea?

Hah. Haven't read that in a decade at least actually.
No, that's still the reason. We've simply figured out how God's will has manifested itself.
Indeed.

The petulance and deluded self-importance of many replies here are all the proof we need that geeks are not suited to the serious business of war.
Eh. Depends on the geek, in much the same way that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to have a randomly selected soldier running it either.
I remember Pirates! would ask you about the Spanish treasure fleet
I quickly discovered it was useful in a number of ways to have the treasure fleet's schedule memorized.
There are some interesting things to do that are easiest to get to by cutting through NJ.
"Mother of God's Firm Ass!"
There's just so much material to work with right there. That's beautiful.
Yeah I did that with one of my older ones and Civ II. Civ II lasted a while for me, I wasn't a big fan of Civ III
I'm living the best days of my life, currently. No strategy game comes close to the wonder of holding your own baby in your arms.
When my last child was still an infant, sometimes I would sit with her in my arms... while I played Civ IV. Beat that.
So we Americans can go "Neener neener!"
When you have a rat problem you dont send in a bunch of cats riding on the back of pigs do you
No, that sort of problem calls for possums.
