washing your hand with soap and water after going to the bathroom, every time
I hardly ever shit on my hands, two, three times a week, tops. But that's how you catch a bacterial disease. If you want to avoid influenza, a viral infection, avoid bathroom faucets, shaking hands, doorknobs, hand railings, elevator buttons, keyboards, mice, etc. Do not touch your eyes or nose except with clean hands. Wear big safety glasses, disposable cotton gloves and a surgical mask.
In a landmark test flight, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and a team of research partners this month successfully launched a solar telescope to an altitude of 120,000 feet, borne by a balloon larger than a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
Find a plane that will do 120,000 feet for any length of time.
In some ways, I have to agree with this. I don't care if the script kiddies and grannies and game players ever take up Linux. They're not the people who are ever going to appreciate find or grep, or even sudo. By the same token, if even 20% of the businesses were to use Linux both in the server room AND on the desktop, we'd see several things:
1) More big-dollar apps (Photoshop, 3DS-Max, AutoCad) making the move to a Linux version.
2) Microsoft making some real efforts on security, so that admins and the rest of the net didn't have to deal with thier crap.
3) Even more developer and vendor buy-in than we have today.
4) WORLD HEGEMONY! MUA HA HA HA!
Or possibly it's the lax enforcement of security standards by Redmond programmers? Or the lax attitude of Microsoft about all things not directly related to increased sales and world hegemony?
I'm saying that the FCC is supposed to regulate the use of the airwaves - not formulate policy about ownership or content. The fact that a media company (I live in Chicago, so the Tribune Company springs to mind (Chicago Tribune paper, WGN TV and WGN radio) owns a newspaper and a television station in the same market is none of the FCC's business. If Congress doesn't like owners having multiple outlets in the same market, then they should legislate that, but again, that's not what the FCC is supposed to be for.
"We should first address the appalling lack of ownership of media outlets by women and people of color."
How about you guys portion out the spectrum, keep your noses out of content and (the color or reproductive organs of) ownership, and let the market work itself out?
This is hardly two guys working in thier basements. Theseguys (the institutions the winners are from) are clearly not doing small budget science. But I do agree with you that too much "national capital equipment" science is done at the expense of more modest goals.

That was awful. Go to your room.

if this technology could be applied to sun-glasses?
Exactly. They put thier socks in the "draw", but with pencil and paper they "drawer".
All these worlds are yours.
Except Europa.
Attempt no landings there.
