If we can say that 186 000 milles per second is the speed of light, i dont see why they could not go at 186 001 milles per second, there is no limit to the speed something can travel at, it's just the limit of the light.
Just use a wind-up clock that's almost run out. The seconds will last just a little longer, and PRESTO! 186,001 miles in one second!
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of those wax Halloween fangs I used to see in the late 70's that were edible, even if they did taste like cheap chocolate. (There's another joke there, if you look hard enough. It just isn't any funnier than my others.)
My wife is a stay-at-home mom. I have, by far, the easier job.
What bugs her the most is when some woman that makes her job a higher priority than her children patronizes her and says, "I wish I could stay home with my children." As if financial discipline and and 24/7 parenting are easier than luxury and day care.
So, do you see a difference between "less" and "fewer?" To me, "less" applies to more continuous quantities, while "fewer" is better for discrete quantities. Hold on a sec, and I'll look up some usage rules...... OK,I'm back. According to my interpretation of Dictionary.reference.com, less would be acceptable in that post. Still, I liked making the (silly) post about it.
Wasn't one of the requirements for eligibility of a format the existence of multiple word processors (spreadsheet programs, presentation programs, etc.) that read and write the format?
Did that change, or is someone else licensed to use their formats to write competing software with MS formats, or is there some other way that MS is trying to get around that?
Sorry, it comes from reading the word more than hearing, and not paying attention when I wrote it. I know how to spell pedant, but somehow it gets stuck in my head as pendant.
I guess I could say that my silly post was just "hanging" off the side of the thread. (Thus pendant, as an adjective.)
Imagine that, they put the best of the best in the Command Staff of the FLAG SHIP! What did you expect? Seriously, is it hard to imagine that high profile assignments get high profile personnel?
I would expect the high profile officer assignments would be primarily politically motivated, which is why there are so many "token minorities" on those crews.

For a small dataset, consider my experiences looking for teaching jobs.
In my experience, private schools pay teachers LESS on average than public schools, and (consequently) have LESS stringent requirements for their teachers.
Parental involvement and priorities are so much more important than teacher quality* that students from poorly taught/equipped private classrooms often manage to get educated as well as their public school counterparts.
*Parental involvement is also more important than: age of textbooks, violence in school, class size, technology available, funding, leaky roofs and most "behavior disorders".
Becoming dependent on a commercial entity for providing you with data important for the ability of your democraticaly chosen government to take decisions is extremely dangerous.
So, you're saying that we shouldn't let government employees use phone books? And We should return to a non-privatized USPS ("a commercial entity" which transports data that many government entities rely on extensively)? And We should have at least one country-spanning internet backbone that is entirely tax-funded?
I would just like to say that I STRONGLY SISAGREE with you on these points.
And iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them...

But, wait!
That kind of contact lens might change the apparent color of my eyes.
I could be in one of those silly vampire shows, and they wouldn't have to hire actual vampires anymore.
I think that for what they'd save on their workers comp insurance they could pay me a LOT of money and still come out ahead.
But this will only be possible if our technology progresses to the point where I can get fake fangs, too.
Literally?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

If you meant lesser, what makes Kennedy's victims better than your victims?

You would almost have appeared to have been semi-credible sources, if you hadn't included a reference to mises.org.
And, since I used the preview button, I can't even believe my own comment.
Several current conflicts demonstrate that tanks and jets are much more effective against armies than they are at pacifying hostile populations.

I did preview. I really did. And I even found and fixed some typos. I just missed the most important one.
To restate, I STRONGLY DISAGREE.
