On an iphone, the 30% cut goes directly to Apple. On an android, the 30% cut goes to the carrier. This bribe from Google was obviously a component in the widespread adoption of android by the carriers - although I've no idea how large of a component. I wonder how much that affects marketing issues like this. I don't see why they wouldn't be throwing a few more advertising dollars in favor of the phone that nets them a higher income.
Is this just a way to get extra money to buddies through the revolving door or is there some rational reason for using ex-military/contractors instead of current military/national guard?

This is great to further spread the idea of direct distribution, but I'm still more impressed with Pioneer One which is accomplishing more with much less and using a creative commons license.

You used to be able to apply a personal -2 penalty for Funny mods. It worked great for me for the past decade read at a threshold of 2 or 3 and not have Funny comments dominate. But apparently they took away they ability to fine tune so well with the new system since I can't find the option any more to direct you to.
"Mr. Ryan, would you characterize this as a first-strike weapon?"
"Uh, that is a possibility, sir. It is designed to approach by stealth and to shower its target with multiple independent warheads with little or no warning before impact."
I figured someone would do this. I just used my last mod point, but thanks. (ah, non-mouse device is a "stylus", I was wondering if linux's shift-numlock numpad mouse violated it, too)

That explains the lack of type checking.

Coincidentally, FSU has degrees in Computational Science: http://www.sc.fsu.edu/education
http://www.deus-consortium.org/a-propos/dark-energy-universe-simulation-full-universe-run/ says each particle has the mass of the Milky Way.
That was Gallagher, not Carlin. But it is indeed a great idea.

I'm surprised I didn't see anyone also point out that they got the range of valid scores wrong, also. It's obviously not "1 to 5" as quoted.

They both answered, "Europa". We humans really love forbidden things. :)
This semantic debate is quite pointless to rehash for the millionth time. Read this rather than make up your own terminology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_atheism
