Yes, but that direction is generally defined as "down" in the local frame of reference.
You know, even as I typed the quip, I wondered if someone would get all wonky on it, but I thought "Naaaahhhh!"
And if you are in any doubt on whether Fox does this...
I was speaking only to the typo. Nothing else. Hey, I have no use for Fox News. It just seems to be ideological insanity and, to be blunt, extremely immatue, to get so worked up over a caption error.
Oh, please... I hate both parites and have zero use for Fox News, but I see nothing more than a caption typo. To see anything more is ideological madness. Someone at Fox thought putting a D there would somehow hypnotize people into thinking Foley was an R? Do you realize how silly that sounds?
Actually, I'd vote for them, too. Putting one of these comedian/critics into an actual position of power, and then watching them try to deal with real world issues and issues that involve the lives of millions would be high comedy at its finest.
Of course, most cities would be burned out rubble piles within 6 months of the Stewart Administration taking power, but it might actually be worth it.
Apology or retraction for what? A typo? Shit, watch cable news (ANY channel) for a while and you'll see little errors like that all the time.
Just a couple weeks ago I saw a report on headline news about Iran's nuclear program, and the background graphic had the biohazard symbol instead of the radiation symbol. As far as I can tell I'm the only one who noticed. Mislabeled maps are another common one. I think it's basically interns who do the graphics.
Are the Democrats such wilting violets they need an apology over this? Everyone knows Foley is a Rep. You honestly think some cabal at FNC thought putting a "D" there would fool millions of people into thinking otherwise? I mean, come on, THINK it through.
Can we get some cites for these numbers? not saying they are wrong, but it's nice to have sources. Numbers like these are always politically charged, so you need stringent fact checking.
I dunno. I assumed the OP meant a target for terrorists, as that is the threat du jour these days, and since when does the military importance of a target matter to them?
Actually, cats are a great symbol for libertarian thought.:) Independent. Living by the beat of their own drum. Fuzzy. Coughing up furballs. Um. OK, so I overextended the analogy.
Sounds like an ideal opportunity for organised crime.
Fine with me. The mob knows how to run things when it comes to gambling. Vegas was great under them. Just don't over extend your credit.;-)
Mr. Joe Average could show up and get treated like royalty. My dad used to get comps walking into a casino just to use the rest room. The cocktail waitresses were TOTAL whores. It was great.:)
Then the soulless hotel corps took over, and I would not be suprised if they start charging you for the air you breathe in the hotel rooms. 6-5 payoff on a blackjack? Christ, just tie me down and rape me. It's more direct.
It wasn't compliant with the "Help America Vote Act", which requires touch-screen machines for "accessability" by blind people.
Wait, don't they still have to read the screen, or does the computer talk?
Weren't there already Braille ballots? How about absentee ballots? The blind person could have someone they trust to fill in the spots for them. Seems like there's easier solutions.
You're really not totally sick of seeing politics *everywhere*? I feel like the bowl of petunias in Hitchhiker's Guide when I see another political post: oh, no, not again.
Do the threads really accomplish anything? They don't make most people think. Most posters just load up their ideological cannons and fire off the mantras. It's an exercise in futility.
Which does nothing to answer the question "Appropriate venue?"
We're nerds, right? We can move our mouses and click on links to sites where pure politics is more at home, yes? More appropraite venues?
Sorry, but I sympathize with many others who are just so godamnned sick and tired of politics invading every last nook and cranny of the life, both online and off. It's really getting old- older than Acasta gneiss.
But will you have to be a goon to buy one? Or will the Zune be a boon? It depends on how the device is hewn, and will MS promise the moon? Will sales fit in a spoon, or will the consumers swoon?

Harbouring what form of life exactly.
Hydrogues! :-o
As crazy and unbelievable as it can get, "24" is still more fun than most action/thrillers to hit theaters these days.
As for gritty crime drama, "The Shield" pwns all.
Stuff like Family Guy and Adult Swim and similar shows are orders of magnitude funnier than most "comedy" films.
And then there's Battlestar and the Stargates, although Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain" is heading to theaters soon.

What any of that has to do with a caption typo, I have no idea. I won't even get into the level of your world view.

Anyone submitting a grant application for *that* study?
Modern news is shallow. Wow. That's a news flash. :) Now they can go on to prove fire is hot and objects generally fall downward.

Don't worry. I'm sure they'll be +5 Insightful in no time.

Oh, cheer up. It's Christmas. :)
Yes!
As for it being a target, fuck that. Full steam ahead.
If we're not driving payloads into space at Mach 23 within 10 years, the terrorists have already won. Or something.
You are pretty much correct, but at least I'd be able to play some fucking blackjack once in a while.
There. :-P Happy?
Goddamn libertarian pussies. ;)

MBAs and politicians! Exterminate! Exterminate!
I wish some of you effers out there would start voting libertarian. I'm so sick of legislated morality.
I think I'd take the million and run. Better designs don't always win (reference: Microsoft).

Because the DNA is just in the cell nucleus? The DNA can break down without the whole cell going. It's two completely different things.
Not a sexbot. Lame.
Just though I'd mention...

And so on...
