That utopian world in which technology is a positive force for humanity and where rational thought and curiosity replace ignorance-based fear and militarism was a island of serenity in a small town full of bible-thumping, anti-intellectual fundamentalists.

BUT BUT BUT BUT the free market will take care of it! Incentives and all that shit.
Is your supposition that the best lawsarisein response to a crisis before cooler heads can prevail?
Long-term, I think alcohol biofuels will win out. Alcohol is nearly as good a storage medium as gasoline/diesel. No, it's not. Diesel fuel =45.4 MJ/kg(38.6 MJ/L), Petrol=47.2MJ/kg(34 MJ/L). E85(ethanol 85% 15%gasoline)=33.1MJ/kg and 26.5 MJ/L. That's nearly a 30% loss in energy density. Not too mention the hygroscopic nature of alcohols.
All this debate in the USA about health care spending and delivery ignores the biggest factor in predicting lifespan: how much time is spent walking everyday.
That's why our forebears lived to be so much older than we who were born after the invention of the wheel and the internal combustion engine will live. Or your biggest factor in predicting lifespan neglects the importance of clean water or nutritious food.
It's like Bryan Singer admitting he never read comic books as a kid. [inspirationalstories.com] So what do they do? Give him the X Men franchise to direct. Great thinking, guys As compared to the steaming cow pie that Ratner turned Xmen 3 into I'm not sure Singer should be blamed for the Xmen franchise's failings.
+5 insightful, yet another day at Kosdot. For example, this little gem Also, I realize it's fashionable to claim that Democrat and Republicans are the same. They're not. That's bullshit. They may both fail similarly in some significant areas (e.g. the TSA), but the Republican party has devolved into thinly veiled bigotry, xenophobia, and crony capitalism.
Yes, the Democrates give us thinly veiled cultural marxism, zen fascism, and crony capitalism(just different industries).
There are men out there who will pay $200 if a woman will just get naked and call him daddy for an hour. It's posts like this that leads to all those established man ads I see populating/. Thanks.
You do realize that gas engines produce benzene and other cyclic compounds in their exhaust gas? Produce or merely pass through since benzene and other cyclic compounds(though cyclic doesn't mean bad it's the aromatic compounds that are bad for you) exist in gasoline precombustion.
so I shut them down with a jammer. If an emergency crops up, I turn the device off.
So how long before there's a device that locates your jamming signal, and then a crowd of angry people decide to beat you to death(it is Killadelphia after all) b/c you didn't want some person talking to loudly?Will it be worth it then? Or will the jammer/anti jammer arms races spiral out of control?
unholy horror on everyone nearby, including journalists, children, Who the fuck brings children to a protest where there may be arrests or use of force for anything other than using said children as a human shield? That is pretty fucked up
This is true of most jobs, and STEM aren't the worst off. Talk to someone trying to break into journalism, or acting, or anything else that you would associate with unpaid internships. Getting your first job in almost any professional field is difficult, unless there is a serious shortage of people in that field.
I missed where Hollywood execs showed up in front of Congress and said there wasn't enough actors or actresses so we need to import a bunch from other countries, or the world complaining that we let all of our good actors and journalists study here and then return to their home countries. B/c that what those who go into STEM jobs see.
Since he says that half of the euthanisias in my country are against the will of the person dying, I'd like him to come over here, so we can add him to his own statistic. It seems he's going to be worse than Bush jr. WW-III anyone?
Fun fact, which American President has killed more Muslims via drone strike then GWB? Barack Obama.
So where do you imagine the people involved went? They just disappeared?
As someone who worked at Dow acquired company, they were probably found to be redundant and let go.
;) Doing my bit to help: here are some posters to go with it What's funny about that last link is the mention of war taxes when all the liberals I know were complaining about the wars not being paid for, so really make up your minds.
War was not just impractical, it was unthinkable between western European nations. Combined with a UN that was far more effective than anything which came before it became virtually impossible to have any kind of major war between developed nations. lol wut?. If you think without the threat of total annihilation the Soviets wouldn't have conquered all of western Europe you are higher than a kite. As for the UN being effective, yeah they did a real good job stopping genocide in Rwanda, solving the crisis in Sudan, and helping rebuild the govt. in Somalia.
I see this as similar to the ban on DDT. It pushes you to make a choice that is good for society in general. I'll tell that to all the Africans who died of malaria b/c you read "Silent Spring". We need to have a balance between everybody's freedom to live in a healthy society together and your freedom to do what you wish. This sentence sounds better in the original German.
Not surprising they allowed bail for this guy. Ortmann is a totally believable name for a website founder, unlike Dotcom. Seeing as how Dotcom had a history of fleeing jurisdictions where he was charged, that probably had more to do with denying him bail than what his name was. Oh and the multiple passports with different aliases didn't help either.
Santorum is pure "Christian Taliban", that is all.
Can we amend or possibly construct a corollary to Godwin's Law about usage of the word "Taliban" since it's use tends to indicate the person is a Koshevik, but eventually it will find wider usage as a replacement for a demonizing term the person disagrees with.
...when will assholes like Vic Gundotra and Andy Rubin resign? The world would be a much better place without people like them.
When Mercedes Benz designs an S-class with the douche bag VP option, that way the car can do all the douchy things your VP would while you drive to work.
Then again, I abhor almost all pop music (all styles, including rock, etc.), and most of what I'm into is pretty underground, and that does contribute a bit to my attitude.
So you're saying that diglett is your favorite Pokemon?
"exhaled at high concentrations by each of us" is wrong.
The air that enters a person's lungs is 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen, 1% argon and less than 1% CO2.
The air that leaves a person's lungs during exhalation contains 14% oxygen and 4.4% carbon dioxide.
since when is 4% high concentration ?
The article is trying to hard. Why the hell is this modded +5? To answer your question 4.4%=44,000 ppm vs 370ppm for atmospheric CO2, since the CO2 leaving our bodies is 100x more concentrated than atmospheric levels it is a high concentration.
I long for the days when buying votes from the public cost the politician(s) in question money, not the taxpayer.
Wow, you hung out w/ Marcus Licinius Crassus and Gaius Julius Caesar? Or do you long for days you have never experienced yourself.
Personally I thought he was talking about Justin Bieber and losing him the the States. Honestly, he can take him back and keep his access locked into Canada for the remainder of time. He was not a gain to US culture by any means...
Also please take back Nickelback and Celine Dion.
Assuming you aren't a troll, that is some excellent compartmentalization you've got going on there. I found out that she'd been cheating on me and her other boyfriend with some other men (complicated, I know!),... Her current husband would LOVE to see those. But I've gotten over the hurt; I came to realize it won't really help anyone.
How about her current husband who may be exposed to STDs? And this part is strange as well, She never feels the urge though because she ain't touching my computer with a 10-foot pole (proper wife training does that). So you believe in wife training but won't snitch on your Ex to her current husband. Nice compartmentalization.
Obama just signed into law the ability of the POTUS to hold US citizens indefinitely without trial by the military (though he promised not to use those powers).
Good Luck.
Korematsu v. United States had already held similiar actions as lawful so no big surprise there. Kelo v New London led to a backlash against the use of Eminent Domain in many state legislatures.
