Oddly enough, nowhere on a dime does it say that it is worth 10 cents or 0.10 dollars. It just says that it is worth One Dime, as though this is some sort of independent unit. The current Secretary of the Treasury is Henry M. Paulson, Jr. who looks like an individual who might be willing to address your concerns.
As for pennies, US currency has been decimal since 1785, Britain only since 1971. So whose penny is real and whose the the copy?
If their software defended you from new viruses, why would you subscribe to get database updates? Do you expect them to only sell their software to you once?
Actually, this was a very smart move on the part of NY. Terrorists who are out there picking targets will naturally request a copy of this list under the communist FOIA, which our current administration is patriotically trying to thwart by classifying every government document.
Look at Michigan. They foolishly listed the Mackinac bridge, which is now the target of Palestinian terrorists armed with cell-phones and Walmart frequent shopper cards.

I don't have a box of Jell-O handy, but I think the ingredients list will say "gelatin". No lying and no trouble with the FDA there. The FDA knows what gelatin is. My observation is just that
hooves are a source of protein from which gelatin can be made
the beef industry doesn't like to waste useful stuff
there is no source cited in the Wikipedia article for the claim that Jell-O does not use hooves or on Snopes for the claim that Kraft denies using hooves
anonymous statements made by PR departments aren't necessarily the same as what actually happens in the meat-packing plant
History suggests that crashing one airplane deliberately did not cause a panic and was pretty much ignored by the flying public. In light of later events it should be reexamined to see if there are ties between the copilot who crashed the plan and any terrorist groups.
Oh. and lest you be misled by the many denials put out by Kraft PR that the hooves are not used because they are unsuitable:
beef hoove thats 62.9% digestible protein they are widely available as dog treats and are a ready source of gelatin. I like Wikipedia, but I don't trust unsourced articles -- which is most of them.
"The gelatin you eat in Jell-O comes from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hooves, and connective tissues." Wikipedia is brain-damaged on some topics.
It's true. I worked in a steel mill over summer break. We used to strike because of unreasonable EULAs all the time. Oh wait...it was over getting enough pay to put food on the table. Never mind.
Based on the original meaning of planet (wanderer), the only planets should be visible from Earth and move against the background of stars. Pluto is not visible without a fair-sized telescope.
I don't think there is any distinction between planets and asteroids that is useful in Astronomy.
The value to the terrorists of blowing up a plane in spite of these arrests would be enormous. That's why they have to be sure that if there are others involved in the plot, they can't be allowed to succeed.
In addition, it's better to be seen taking some kind of measures than to just sit back and say "See, we're doing our jobs. This one didn't succeed." Even if it's true.
The idea isn't original to me. After I thought of it, I found out others had beat me to it. I think Fred Hoyle proved the equivalence of expanding space vs. shrinking matter. Of course, he was trying to disprove the Big Bang theory at the time.
Matter only runs out of room if you assume that there is some unchanging granularity to space -- which there is in some quantum theories. If you assume that space is continuous, then atoms and quarks can shrink arbitrarily. Alternatively, maybe space is granular, but the granularity is also shrinking! Another possibility is that once the matter falls below the granularity of space, then the universe ceases to exist. Not with a bang, but with a whisper in this case. Picture the end of the Universe as sort of like a CRT being turned off and going dark.
I am trying to think of a way of differentiating the two, but I can't think of one. Older, larger matter emitted longer wavelengths so it is red shifted to us, for example.
My point is saying that "space is expanding" is no different from saying "matter is shrinking". If it is valid to say one, then it is equally valid to say the other. I suspect the latter is emotionally depressing, so it is not used.
To me it just seems more natural. The universe started with gigantic, densely packed matter. All matter has been shrinking and dissipating ever since leaving holes between.
A simpler way to think of it is that space is constant, but all of the matter in the universe is shrinking, including your measuring sticks. I don't know why physicists are reluctant to express it in these terms since it is mathematically equivalent.
This has nothing to do with open source software. The article is about a legal dispute over control software and throws in a gratuitous mention of OSS. Making the software open source would have no effect on the dispute, because it is unlikely that the city would open themselves to the liability of modifying the software over the objections of the contracters.
The prosecutor on the Valerie Plame case was Patrick Fitzgerald, whereas the prosecutor on this telephone records case is,... um, Patrick Fitzgerald. I wonder whether the FBI is claiming that the reporters interfered with their investigation or whether it is Fitzgerald who is the only one claiming that the reporters "tipped off" the suspect organizations.
"Just because you are a reporter you aren't above the law. If I or anyone else would have to reveal something under subpoena or on a witness stand if it were part of a criminal case (and leaking classified documents is a crime), then so should the high and mighty New York Times."
You're right. Judith Miller should be forced to reveal the names of the Bush Administration sources who leaked false evidence of WMDs to her in the months leading up to the war. This was used as justification for the war and has led to the deaths of thousands of US soldiers. Those administration officials should be arrested and punished.
Oddly, I don't hear about anyone pursuing that case.

Oops. You are correct.
Lessee:
M(sun)/M(J) = 1053
Dist Sun->J = 7.783e8 km
So center of Sun-Jupiter system is about 738,000 km from Sun
Radius of Sun is 696,000 km
Shouldn't the Sun have a hell of a tide due to Jupiter?

I will only eat Jell-O brand horse's hooves.
(Go ahead, google for gelatin)

I don't think there is any distinction between planets and asteroids that is useful in Astronomy.
Besides, Pluto does not appear in Mr. Vem J Sun.
