charity like RedCross, etc - have not requested expedited funds according to mGive.
mGive - is just the conduit from the wireless company to the charity. They are non-profit but supported by a transaction fee. Its unlikely they have enough cash sitting around to give expedited payments.
Wireless company - Verizon, etc. They don't send the payment to mGive until you pay your wireless bill. Otherwise they are making a loan to the charity with no collateral. They DO have the cash, tho.
With the money having to take 3 steps to get from you to the charity, 30-90 days is still quick.
How about Nokia? N900 is fairly open. The one thing no radio transmitter should let you do is modify the frequencies that you are using to be outside the permitted spectrum, although I don't see a problem with listening.
As somebody points out, a 1-in-30 increase is 3% not.03%. So the math is wrong in the footnote. The increase is from 42 to 45%. Try doing your research^2.
Your terminology is slightly off. Evolution is not a theory, it is an observation of the fossil record. Natural Selection was Darwin's attempt to explain the origin of new species but there are other theories like Punctuated Equilibrium which was proposed by Stephen Gould. So teaching evolution is teaching facts. Teaching about Darwin is teaching about careful research and science.
For my phone line its just a lump of ferrite clamped on the line to block all RF.
For TV there are several possible sources of injection - the AC cord and the various inputs. If you can still hear it with all inputs disconnected, then just add a ferrite filter on the AC lead. If it only happens with your XBox plugged in, then you need a filter on that line. Antenna or cable is trickiest, since you don't want to block RF. That's the case where you need something sophisticated like a notch filter. I built one once with a few loops of wire and tunable caps - it wandered like a cow in a cornfield, so I think RF is beyond my skill set. Want you want to buy is called a "high-pass 54MHz filter". A quick search says $9.95.
Amateur radio operators are very good at staying within their licensed frequencies. What you were seeing and hearing was how cheap TV tuners are. Ginger was bobbing around somewhere in the low TV bands 59 - 88 Mhz, while the Ham was on the closest 6 meter band at 54 MHz. I have a 100 ft tower for an AM radio station less than a mile from my house so I have a trap on the phone line to filter that frequency. You could have done that on your antenna line for a few coconuts.
With no nearby hot sun, they don't sound too hospitable either.
If there is a nearby brown dwarf, I wonder if there is an opportunity for mining. As I understand it, they have been gathering dust for a very long time so there may be interesting stuff on the surface.
...we evolved from a common ancestor. That Ancestor is not a chimp but something completely different in terms of biological classification. That's like saying A GPS device evolved form a defibrillator.
Since nobody suggested we evolved from chimps what is your point? The article says "divergence from" which just implies a common ancestor.
Too bad nobody's making ultra-cheap machines yet. Why aren't there 50$ SOC systems on the market ? Not tablets , desktops will do, or thin clients. First post ?
There are. They even include built-in cell phones. Keyboards are kind of lousy, tho.
However, we have to make policy on some basis. Division of the gestation period into three trimesters and application of different legal standard to the trimesters is based on scientific input. You can argue that there is a moral component to any decision, which is outside the sphere of science, and you are of course correct. I don't disagree with that.
The connection with fact-free science is that there are people making absolute statements about Truth. "Abortion is murder" is an example, and many facts, pictures of little fetus hands, etc. are used to bolster a viewpoint. This debate is similar to the others because sides are taken and positions are made along with long explanations of why that side is "right". Where right in this context refers to scientific correctness, alignment with the natural order, or moral virtue, take your pick.
Science of course make no statements about Truth. Science is an attempt to find the best fitting theory to explain the commonly observed facts. Science can be used to answer questions like:
When does regular electrical activity begin in the brain? (Pretty early: 5 or 6 weeks) When does human life begin? (it doesn't, both gametes are alive so there is never a moment where human life begins. Its continuous with its parents)
So sorry if you are uncomfortable with lumping this in with the others. But science is used and misused on this debate in very similar ways.
I can't see how your consequences are worse than the consequences of a lack of basic guarantees. Hungry kids, resentment at those who are rich, resentment at those in power, lack of opportunity, etc.
Let's agree not to call this a "Republican" or "Democratic" position. The problem is that there are adherents to scientific claims who don't know the truth on both sides. I don't claim to know much about climate science, evolution, natural history or reproductive biology. So me claiming a "scientific" position on global warming, creationism, evolution or abortion is to some extent who I want to have faith in. Generally I choose respected scientists, but its still faith on my part because I haven't done the research myself.

We can still laught a them loudly right ?
Texas Leg does it again. I miss Molly Ivins.
US gear is very much 60Hz, 110V. But electronics in Europe and Asia tends to be more flexible.
They can't really change it now, can they?
The wire doesn't care very much. In the areas that are destroyed, they have to buy all new equipment anyway. Seems like a good time to standardize.
try diagramming your sentence. what is the verb?
Please repeat that in Past Conditional Didn't Happen Tense.
unless you are famous. Then paparazzi do all of those things. I imagine that's why celebrities occasionally gog berserk and punch somebody.
Online privacy means you can't snoop on other people. You can bet that Law Enforcement is exempt.
Copyright law means you can't copy things. The Fed is already exempt from that. You can't sue the government for copyright violation.
It's pretty easy to test for both people management skills and people skills.
If someone claims that he has it he obviously don't.
They also don't if they claim they don't.
When asked about people skills the true manager yells "Foo" and hits you on the head with a stick. And then you are enlightened.

According to the paper it has a mass of 6–15 MJup and radius = 1.04 Jup so it would not be a pleasant place to visit.

Pretty sure that was Maryland state court, so it doesn't set a precedent outside MD.
