Oh that's right, we don't have any or even any real idea how to build them... I forgot.
Uh... haven't you heard of ITER? Of course, this doesn't use 3-He, but it is a practical fusion concept that's currently under construction. I wouldn't call this "no real idea" how fusion works.
Also, I believe that there's another type of fusion reactor under construction somewhere in the US. Though I can't find a link to it, I think it's at Lawrence-Livermore National Labs.
You make a good point, but does it make an more sense to promote a questionable law before it's been cleared by the courts? How hard would it be to hold the editorial for a day or three to see how things played out?
and Oklahoma State Rep. Fred Morgan, whose editorial recommending a videogame law for his state based on the Illinois model appeared three days after a federal judge ruled the Illinois law unconstitutional.
Political acts like this are what make me wonder why I bohered to register to vote, if all our political appointees are this ill-informed.
These meteor sightings have also, of course, sparked UFO speculation.
Oh, boy. Why don't these people just GROW UP!?!?!?!?! If there were UFOs "out there", at least the sort we could recognize, they would surely have either made themselves known, conquered, or otherwise interactred with us by now. Of course, since the probability of a humanoid ET is extremely small (something like a billion to 1), the probability is likewise that any ETs that exist would interact with us in a manner detectable by our three-dimenstional senses. Additionally, with the incalculable vastness of space, the chances of an ET being in our little corner of it are even smaller. So, no UFOs. Sorry, guys.
Actually, in Patriot Games, Jack Ryan was considered to be a knight by the British; his title was honorary only according to United States law. The crown and the citizens of Britain accorded him all the respect given to other knights, such as Chester Nimitz.
Of course, Ryan saved the life of the Prince of Wales, which is a much more heroic deed than anything Bill has ever done.

No, no, no. What the scambaiter meant to say was: "it was damaged by a rogue miniature giant space hamster" ;p
Minsc and Boo FTW!
Yeah, apparently this guy forgot the old axiom, "hope for the best, plan for the worst." Still, the whole idea was pretty dumb.
Thank God (or the higher power of your choice), the Ponies have left. Now, I need to visit my optometrist about that ocular replacement procedure...
Anybody else getting tired of this guy? I, for one, am appalled that /. continues to allow such an obvious spammer to keep posting.
I'm afraid you're about 57 years too early for that. First contact takes place on April 5, 2063.
The pink is pleasing?? You need your eyes checked out, 'cause it's giving me (and everyone else, based on the comments) a royal migraine.
But, if you're serious, I'm sure you can find some way to copy the CSS stylesheet.
I guess Microsoft's finally beginning to give in to entropic decay.

Good point. I need to add my representative's e-mail to my Contacts list...
$1 gets you in the pool, start bidding on how long this farce is going to last. I'll put money on half a season, anyone else care to wager?
And just where did you get your information? (Evil Starfleet Security glare...)

Offtopic or insightful, it's your call, mods.
Ah, yes, we all remember the Miniature Giant Space Hamster. Boo lives!
What's next? An egomaniacal, murderous computer that calls itself "Hal"?
Otherwise, what's the point of making it so small?
OMFG, M$ is implementing tabs!? What will they think of next, customizable skins? Or even, [gasp!] security?!? Excuse me, I need a Valium now.
No, the color of the blade is supposedly based on what crystals are used. Thus, you couldn't change the blade color without taking the saber apart.
/me prepares for troll/flamewar that is sure to stem from this.

Just four? Hell, I've got five, and that's just on my primary account!
