Who said I wasn't tolerant? I have no problem with gay people, I know many. I just don't think 8-year-olds need to know about homosexuality (or any other form of sexuality for that matter), particularly when it's forced upon them against the wishes of the parent as a government directive. That's the "agenda" part.
I also think it's pretty obviously a psychological disorder but that's not particularly important compared to the forced indoctrination. I don't have a problem nor I am intolerant of people with OCD, autism, or the common cold, either. But no one is jamming any of those down children's throats as "normal".
That's why no one can have an honest conversation here - what with the foolish stereotypes and strawman arguments from the so-called "free thinkers" and ever-so-tolerant (as long as you hold the "correct" opinions) liberal goon squad.
You guys seem to have all the venom in the world for the "government" unless it's forcing *your* minority opinions on the rest of is, then it's the greatest thing ever.
Why do I care - one, I am paying for it, and two, it's turning out people who are incapable of operating in the real world. Look at the OWS idiots, their sole perceptible demand was that people give them stuff because their education was worthless.
I don't want my tax dollars going to a indoctrination camp and I don't want children to grow up with values that will destroy the hard work and sacrifice of the last 236 years.
It speaks volumes to the "tolerance" of the locals here that they can only designate an opinion they don't agree with as a troll. Not that I expected any better - liberals can't win fair fights, they can't even admit what they are and keep having to invent new names (progressive).
Public schools do enforce conformity, but its what they are trying to enforce conformity with that drives home schooling. I know this will get modded to hell, but it's the promotion of an extreme far-left agenda that drives parents to home-schooling despite the many challenges. There are innumerable examples, but the straw that broke the camel's back was the sexualization of children, both forcing conventional sex education on lower and lower ages, and the promotion of mental disease/sexual perversion (i.e homosexuality) as an acceptable and normal practice.
The entire public educational system, currently, is one continual assault on traditional American values of patriotism, personal responsibility, and religion. I don't have kids but I sure would want to expose them to the sort of sick and failed notions of ex-hippies and "social activists".
You can argue all you want, or, far more likely, mod me down so you wonderfully tolerant folks never have to see something that contradicts your personal belief system, but that's what is leading to homeschooling.
Kodak is/was definitely a player in the high-end market. Their sensors are used in the current top-end Leica (M9 and S-series) and are the best available.
There's an aspect to this story that no one is considering - contracts with (or loss of) governmental customers for exceptionally high-quality film. There's a reason you can't get Tech Pan any more and it's not because they forgot how to make it.
I don't know about that. I would suggest that spending to much time in front of a dirty keyboard has led to an epidemic of obesity, social awkwardness, and unnatural obsession with Natalie Portman. That's just apocryphal, of course.
All of which are facts that can be determined in 30 seconds of hand calculation assuming (as they do) they know the power it draws. I can't see why they would actually bother to build it.
Crossed the line - try POLE-Vaulted the line. And unfortunately the same applies to parts of America. Try wearing an American Flag shirt to school in California. We are tolerant of all viewpoints, as long as they are the *correct* viewpoints.
I have put them on a common circuit, a 60-watt incandescent and a "100 watt equivalent" (about 23 watts actual, base down). If it's turned on and off frequently (10, 20x a day), the incandescent beats it by almost a factor of two. If it's left on most of the day, (1-2x a day) it's about even. If its in a horizontal or base-up orientation, or a closed but not recessed fixture, the CFL is about half or less than an incandescent. And the infant mortality is tremendous in all cases.
As far as I can tell I have never actually worn out the bulb, but I get premature failures of the ballast.
The only legitimate advantage to CFLs is that you can get a lot more light from a "60-watt" rated fixture. I have a few splitters that allow 2 bulbs in on figure, and you can put two 100-watt equivalent CFLS in the same lamp as a 60 watt incadescent with rating to spare, and it's tremendously brighter when warm. It's even a match when cold.
CFLs most certainly do not last longer. I have boxes full of dead ones, whenever I need a new one I call GE and get a free one on warranty. Since none of them have even been on the market for the 5 year period, I don't even need a receipt.
The word "Like" is relative. Relative to the past frame of reference. The second time you see a gorilla, you think it looks like the first gorilla. I suspect I would be hard-pressed to tell a male gorilla from a female on casual observation
I am sure you can find some websites that will clear that right up for you.
Because they have a strange aversion to people who fire rockets indiscriminately at civilians and have taken a religious vow to wipe them off the face of the Earth.
It depends on what you're trying to do. If you're responsible and want to conserve money, you let private inventors come up with new ideas, and let them risk their money building working prototypes. Only then do you think about investing in the ones that show some promise.
That's a great plan. I will wait for a private contractor to come up with, say, an Earth Sensor for my satellite that is hardened against nuclear and laser attack. Then, and only then, will I decide whether to buy it or not. My military communications satellite can just sit on the ground until then, it's not like I actually need the capability.
Oh, and coincidentally freed millions of people and gave them a chance at self-determination. Remind me, what oil was that we fought for, exactly? That's one of the stupidest and most ignorant arguments going, it never had a thing to do with Iraq, before, during or after.
The obscenity is the multiple trillions of dollars being completely pissed away on creating government dependency and a police state - which has largely happened since 2006. Remind us all, what significant political change happened then?
I would also note (before we both get modded into oblivion for not toeing the line), that all the solutions amount to taking money from "rich" people and giving it to "poor" people - not actually doing anything. Sort of like the entire thing was concocted to force wealth distribution.
That's a pretty good guess. I would guess it was a pressure vessel of some kind from a Russian liquid ullage motor from an upper state, that have an unfortunate habit of exploding after a decade or so on-orbit.
One "nipple" is the liquid fill/drain, the other is the pressurant fill/release.
Gee, I got pilloried just yesterday for pointing that out. I am sure that their argument would have been that if foreign banks fail it drags us down. But the reason it was kept secret until now was because of the extreme backlash. This is the ultimate "Friday Document Drop" - it will get lost in the Christmas slow news days.
QE1 and 2 were as much about devaluing the dollar to permit this as they were about the states purposes.

I didn't say envelope controls, I said control rates - the gain.

That still nonetheless uses pitot data to set the control rates - a likely cause of the Brazil kingfisher dive.
You will have plenty of people who would argue that there is no such thing as data ownership. Many of them here.

The sample size is adequate for a 2% margin of error assuming the sample was sufficiently random.
margin of error = sqrt(1/n) assuming that npopulation, and sample is random.
You may have a point about the lack of randomness but the sample size is pretty good.

Not only that, but if implemented, this blackout will backfire in spectacular fashion.

Can't let lack of evidence interfere with how the French feel about themselves. They're still pissed off from Lance Armstrong.
