Since their current ability is essentially zero, this goal should not be too tough to achieve. Although given past failures, they could still manage to screw it up.

Sorry, this is "News For Nerds." Nerds know what a Julia set is.
Do you think Duke Nukem Forever will require more than 640KB of conventional memory?
Yes, you will need to create a DR DOS boot floppy that will load all your drivers in the upper memory area between 640k and 1000. You should be able to get it to work as long as nothing else loads but DNF.
Having worked in Florida as an insurance adjuster after Hurricane Andrew, I can assure you that an empty lot with random aluminum debris is equally likely to have been a trailer park or and upscale manufactured home park. Neither of them can take a punch. Also, they burn like thermite bombs, but that's another story.
Although not specifically mentioned in "The Crackpot Index," the number of exclamation points does indicate zealous nuttery. Instead of -1 Flamebait, it probably deserves a +1 Successful Troll.
>As for those wondering about the meter reader unions - rumour has it that PGE has already fired all the meter readers and has been using contractors to install the SmartMeters.
Don't know about any firings, but my personal experience is that both home and office meters were installed by independent contractors, not PG&E employees.
This is really about some people who have seen vastly increased bills. Now, the question is: are the new meters wrong or were the old electromechanical meters (installed decades ago) wrong?
Or, there is a third option to consider. A previously approved rate increase went into effect at the same time PG&E started rolling out these meters. So, yes, bills did go up.
>I'm not being a troll here, I'm asking a serious question. Wouldn't we be better off for it?
I will accept that you are not being a troll, but the answer to your question is, "Absolutely not!"
A lot of crap comes from people painting the lily of history, or more properly turning a skunk cabbage into a lily. The number of people who want to return society to what it was fifty or a hundred years ago, because "it was better back then" is frightening. No, it was not better back then. There was slavery, which was OK, because niggers weren't citizens and maybe not even people. Women knew their place, which certainly didn't involve having property rights of voting.
Clemens wrote about real people doing real things in real places using real language. If you can't deal with that, read something else.
You are, sir, forgetting the esteemed (at least in his own mind) Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Harry was all about the money and wealth, with a passing nod to the art of the grift.
>So yeah, the teacher had what she believed was a genuine problem with a certain privilege, and attempted to revoke it. She was overruled. Nothing all that insane here at all...
The problem was that the teacher didn't deal with the problem. The problem was that one kid was misbehaving and instead of dealing with that one kid, she tried to punish everyone. To use the required car analogy, that is like dealing with drunk driving by banning all driving instead of arresting the drunk drivers. Asshattery at its finest.
I have long felt that Harrison Bergeron should be required reading in every law school in the country.
On a separate but related note, I am afraid that a significant percentage of registered voters in the US would think your sig is referring to some of Cher's costumes.
At my high school during deer and duck seasons in the fall, there were enough rifles and shotguns in the student parking lot to start a small war. There was also an ethic that said using anything but your fists in a fight was the ultimate cowardly act. Sadly, neither of those is true today. Now, get off my lawn.
Would someone please tell me which airports only have the occasional rude agent? I really need to fly out of there instead of my normal experience of mostly all rude agents.

You do know the french right? If you suggest something like that, they will go for it
I do know the French right. I believe Le Pen has already proposed it.
It was a truly sad day (in 2004) when India's court ruled
Actually, in India it is 1932 (Indian Civil calendar.)
Conceivably, there might be electromechanical, ummm, appendages to said robot that might interest some cheerleaders. Just a thought.

Would you please call my children and have a long talk with them?

This just in from the Ministry of Truth^H^H^H^H^HInformation and Culture: "We have always been at war with Eastasia."
I was imagining a deep pit of bovine dung with a GEMA executive at the bottom.
this is the apex of copyright bullshit...
I think "nadir" is the word you're looking for here.
You would have to be insane to even want to drive in downtown Firenze.

How about the Tai-square value as a measurement of ignorance of widely-known prior art in science and mathematics?

So does this mean the US is going to invade Venezuela?
