It is called a bipartisan bill because It was written by a republican and a democrat. That means one dipshit from both sides took part not that there was a "movement". Do you have a list of others that were part of writing the bill? I'm sure it will come out soon enough; but, if you already know please point them out. I understand the AFL-CIO showed their ignorance so pointing them out isn't necessary.
While they are at it they should stomp on MOSAID. How in hell do they think they can open a U.S. base of troll then tell someone fighting back to go through Canadian courts.
Because the others are not U.S. companies. The hoops B&N are going to have to jump through to get MOSAID (patent troll deeelux) to cooperate is nothing compared to what a company outside of the U.S. would have to do.
bummer. The cost of insulation + noise dampening + assisting the stability of the structure + being the surface object for the walls + potentially eliminating the need for studs all replace by one item that is also light -- adding some relief to homes with peer and beam type foundation -- seemed like a good idea. I went off to check out some prices. Foam injected insulation is about $700/ bd ft, performs well as an insulator, noise dampener, and helps the stability of the structure but you still need studs and drywall. Drywall is cheap as the dirt it is made out of $6.'ish. So this stuff would have to be no more than $150 if you still used studs. It could be as expensive as $300 if you didn't use studs except for areas with windows and doors.
Would it be feasible to replace drywall. It sounds like a better insulator than drywall, not to mention its sound dampening effects. What would be the effects of dust from it on the lungs? Will it suffer the same fate as Asbestos?
Maybe it is time for the WTO to set some anti-sensorship restrictions. Not that what is happening in the U.S. couldn't happen at the international level.
Google, Facebook, and Zynga should implement a splash page that says, "Warning! This content has not yet been approved by U.S. government sensors. Do you wish to continue?"
What if the neutrino isn't a moving object but an exchange of events? Don't be too hard on my because I don't have the education or math skills to propose a theory or provide formula; but, I have a theory. A supposition really. Anyway.
Suppose there is a teeny tiny object (tT) with the following characteristics. 1) In its natural state, a state of complete rest 0 kelvin, it occupies a single dimension. 2) If it comes into contact with another object, not at rest, it reacts by changing its dimensional state. Kind of like a heat exchange. 3) When it changes to occupy a multidimensional state it releases gravity. 4) When the tT's occupy multiple dimensions they make up objects with a strong force, neutrons, protons, electrons, etc...
My supposition: Suppose a large sheet of these tT's are sitting at rest forming a massive one dimensional sheet. Along comes a tT that is not at rest, multidimensional tT (mtT). When this mtT comes into contact with a point on the sheet the tT's, in the immediate area of contact, change their shape and release gravity. As a result more tT's get pulled in. They in turn change to occupy more dimensions, create more gravity, and the process snow balls. As the tT's increase their multidimensional occupation they change into objects with strong force. The strong forces react greater and greater upon themselves until the amount of gravity being produced by the changes in state isn't stronger than the strong forces being exerted by the multidimensional objects they are becoming. Insert big bang here.
If my supposition is in any way correct it would be possible for the neutrino not to be a moving object but a reaction at the tT level. For example, the mtT comes into contact with the first object in its path, the next object's mtT's react by changing to match that object, which effects the next object in the path and so on until a duplicate of the original object is recorded at the end of the process. It would simply mean the reaction is happening faster than light. Assuming gravity at that minuscule level could be measured it would, at least, make my supposition a little more interesting.
So now we just need to figure out how to reduce everything to 0 mass or create a warp field. No problem. I'll take care of it. Of course, I'll have to bone up on my math. Lets see. In school I got as far as that. Hmmm. Anyone have a link to a basic algebra howto? XD
as CmdrPony pointed out, there are alternative root servers. However, most U.S. ISP's already block them by ip. You have to know somebody that knows somebody to find one that works.
No country should have the ability to simply take over international domain names, and surely the US would feel the same if this plan was put in motion by a foreign country.
Shouldn't this read, "No company should have the ability..."?

There is more than one? Gota link? The party has an issue with posers. The more that are pointed out the faster they can be removed.
Nothin stops the ninjas!
Your comment does not compute.
Can I assume your lack of understanding of materials, math, and aesthetics, is why you posted as a coward.

5 minutes into the first video and my brain went directly into "math sucks" mode but it gave me an idea. Naked Math!

This is a perfect disguise for getting patents on human behavior.

Yeah, I should have pointed you to the people that know where all the games are. My bad.
No way. Last time I got yelled at.
When god wrote and directed the move Idiocracy he mandated Republicans, Tbaggers, and the religiousity community interpret it literally.
I thought Rush Limbaugh said that. Thanks for clearing that up.

OK. So MSesow is on the most wanted pirate list. Who is next. :P
Do you have nice tits?

hmmm that makes me wonder. Could the waist heat from a data center move up a chimney fast enough to move a turbine without the additional heat?
I do this at home. My computers are really cool. Oh wait. Natural GAS not natural grass. Nevermind.
From what I've read, if there is a flaw in the UEFI firmware Windows will not boot.
