"to furlough ( that is let federal employees have days off ) with pay"
furlough is UNPAID leave.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furlough a furlough (/frlo/; from Dutch: "verlof", leave of absence) is a temporary unpaid leave of some employees due to special needs of a company, which may be due to economic conditions at the specific employer or in the economy as a whole.
the Affordable Care Act was made LAW last year. get it? LAW. So some politicians are ignoring the LAW and holding the REST OF THE GOVERNMENT hostage.
others were able to determine what was happening before it happened.. this was published a week before the premiere.
"This has led to high rates of piracy for hit US series like Game of Thrones, True Blood, and The Walking Dead. "Netflix has been instrumental in making Breaking Bad the success that it is," says Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, echoing previous comments on the platform. "I am delighted that fans [in the UK] will be able to enjoy the end of Breaking Bad on Netflix so soon after it airs in the US."
misinformation is not the same as misinformed (or just unaware)
let's turn the tables. I like the Sherlock reboot. If I go to BBC One and look for the schedule and find that it doesn't match the US schedule.. is this misinformation? No, because I'm smart enough to know that BBC1 doesn't give a shite about what Americans want to watch (and they shouldn't have to). For the US sched, I check my LOCAL PBS station.
I was surprised that the UK gets BB just hours after it airs. It's not misinformation because I don't watch it on AMC - I watch the next day via iTunes - it's NOT available after it airs. you have to wait a day. (due to the time difference, I guess technically, the UK gets it the next day too - 2200 PST is 0600 GMT, right?)
On October 14, 2012 on the 65th anniversary of breaking the sound barrier, Yeager did it again in a McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, out of Nellis Air Force Base at the age of 89
he's old and bold. how many 89 year olds break Mach? and he was a test pilot for 30 years after he retired officially.

kind of like trains? we have those here in CA too, and have been successfully operating them through '89 Loma Prieta, Northridge in '94, and a plethora of smaller quakes.
nevermind all the local commuter trains like BART which include the transbay tube that runs for 4 miles on the BOTTOM of SF Bay and carries 400k commuters/day. was the only direct link to the east bay after Loma Prieta because the Bay Bridge broke.
Californians know how to deal with earthquakes. the building I'm sitting in right now rests on giant ball bearings so the ground can move under the building.
so the piece doesn't explicitly state that there is a relationship, but it suggests there is one.
curiously, an inverse relationship (fewer sunspots = cooler earth)
Early records of sunspots indicate that the Sun went through a period of inactivity in the late 17th century. Very few sunspots were seen on the Sun from about 1645 to 1715 (38 kb JPEG image). Although the observations were not as extensive as in later years, the Sun was in fact well observed during this time and this lack of sunspots is well documented. This period of solar inactivity also corresponds to a climatic period called the "Little Ice Age" when rivers that are normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained year-round at lower altitudes. There is evidence that the Sun has had similar periods of inactivity in the more distant past. The connection between solar activity and terrestrial climate is an area of on-going research.
Gordon Brown issued an unequivocal apology last night on behalf of the government to Alan Turing, the second world war codebreaker who took his own life 55 years ago after being sentenced to chemical castration for being gay.
Describing Turing's treatment as "horrifying" and "utterly unfair", Brown said the country owed the brilliant mathematician a huge debt. He was proud, he said, to offer an official apology. "We're sorry, you deserved so much better," Brown writes in a statement posted on the No 10 website.
the screen is good, the build quality is good, performance is decent. but add up all those parts, you end up with a device that's got a serious identity crisis.
We have a pro in the office. I can't figure out what it's trying to replace. it's not quite a tablet (it's.5 inches think and has a fan).. and it's not quite a laptop - the keyboard cover (while it's a decent keyboard) is not as good as a true laptop.
MS wanted it to do too many things.. it does none of them well. even at $150 off, they're still not selling.
when your lawyer can't keep his fucking mouth shut?
"In a statement, it said one of its partners, Chris Gossage, had told his wife's best friend, Judith Callegari, that Robert Galbraith was really Rowling."
...so Apple/Liquid Metal have filed for a patent "today" that was undoubtedly secured back around the time that video was posted for the original Liquid Metal - back in 2007. Apple bought them in 2010, FOR THAT PATENT.
"A huge segment of Apple's patent is all about two or more parts devices being intimately bonded together. In one part, Apple specifically states that "The bulk-solidifying amorphous alloys can form a mechanical lock between a plurality of parts to create an intimate seal between the two parts. In one embodiment, the seal can serve as a bonding element between the parts." This is one aspect of the process that the video is really good at spelling out in plain English."
simple use case - device casing mostly metal with seamlessly integrated ceramic areas for radio transparency - before you say anything about "delicate" ceramics on a phone.. go watch the video. the ceramic bezel is so hard they need a 8000w laser to etch the numbers into it.
"which pose a substantial risk of injury and death to children and teenagers"..if you're over the age of 5 and still swallowing random shit.. seek professional help.
nice. MRI because you're too stupid to NOT EAT them (and something is wrong with your brain), not because they need to find them in your gut. standard xrays find metal just fine.

I thought AC was a typo for AMC.. but you did it again - so not a typo.
Now I see you meant Anonymous Coward.
my mistake
netflixUK != netflixUS

it's not geolocation shite either.
there was an exclusive deal announced in July (before E1S6)
http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/26/4559132/breaking-bad-netflix-uk-final-episodes-exclusive
this might be a sign of things to come (near instant availability after the premiere - perhaps to stem piracy?)
but S5+ isn't on Netlfix yet.

"The Right Stuff" is right.

Ethanol is an idiot. There's a difference between growers and users.. stoners didn't go up into the woods a drop a lit joint.

the patent system may be fucked up, but a patent from the same outfit(s) for the same material doesn't seem reasonable.
watch the video for the liquid metal watch bezel (explains why Omegas are so damn expensive)

there may be some foundation though.. remember the "dihydrogen monoxide" prank those Florida DJs pulled on April Fools.
possible felony charges (of course this was radio, so that's understandable because of the panic they caused)
the charges never materialized.
