P.S. Before anyone bitches that the quote is from the book The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (which it is, chapter 19), that book is quoting The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy itself, not the book of the same name...and that was my reference. Just sayin'.
I've found that most people can't grasp how big space is.
I've always found this to be helpful. From The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
The Universe -- some information to help you live in it.
AREA: Infinite.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy offers this definition of the word "infinite".
Infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow, that's big," time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.
IMPORTS: None.
It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things in from.
The new heat pump is comprised of many miniature heat pumps, as small as one cubic millimeter, that can be arranged in an array to create a larger unit that can be tall and thin or short and wide,...
Or human shaped. Cue Replicator jokes in...three, two, one. (Seriously, that's what the photo in TFA reminded me of.)

So "The Cloud", is fairly far from the top two energy consumers, US and China. No simple breakdown as to how "green" easy consumer is, though a later table lists non/renewable usage for countries, but not The Cloud...
The camera company, Optotraffic, uses a sensor that detects any vehicle exceeding the speed limit by 12 or more mph, then takes two photos of it for identification purposes. The photos are mailed to violators, along with a $40 ticket.... The devices are installed by vendors that typically receive about 40 percent of the payout on each ticket, with the rest going to local, county and state government.
So the camera company gets about $16 for every ticket and the municipality gets the rest. The ticket typically carries no points to the license, so people are encouraged to simply pay the fine. Cha-ching!
At one point in time, there was even an official, unofficial list of words which were to be used for TV and movies; otherwise Americans wouldn't understand it.
I don't know about *that* and would love to see a citation somewhere, but it seems to be a pervasive idea. From License To Kill:
Moreover, Licence Revoked was simplified to Licence to Kill because American test screening audiences did not understand its meaning, however, in the documentary, Inside Licence to Kill, narrator Patrick Macnee says the reason is that to Americans "license revoked" denotes lost driving privileges.
Yes, yes. "License revoked" can mean lost driving privileges. If only we understood the concept of "words in context".
Because of online fraud, many people don't trust the Internet, Locke added. "It will not reach its full potential -- commercial or otherwise -- until users and consumers feel more secure than they do today when they go online,"
Yes, the Internet has been a pretty big failure so far.:-) What more "full potential" he's talking about?
Ya, something like that allowed John Crichton to initiate his escape from the Peacekeepers, when a guard took an interest in the ring - and putting it back together - as a "field resourcefulness exercise", another thought it might be a weapon, and a fight broke out between the two... Never underestimate the power of Jewelry.
The Flash Player for Windows will get patched on April 25, but the Flash Player bug in Reader X for Windows will get fixed in June because the Reader X sandbox prevents exploitation. From TFA:
Adobe said on Wednesday night that it plans to push out the Flash Player patch for Google Chrome today, as part of the Chrome release channel. A separate patch for Adobe Acrobat X for Windows and Mac, Reader X for Mac and Reader 9.x for Windows and Mac on April 25.
The company is planning to wait until June to release a patch for the Flash Player bug in Reader X for Windows because the sandbox in that application prevents exploitation of the vulnerability. The patch for Chrome will be available earlier than the others thanks to Adobe's relationship with Google.
I don't think of the rank and file Tea Partier as a hypocrite. They've just been played for fools by FOX news and Republican astroturf money. Let's see what they do when they've had a chance to see what is really going on.
Possibly true, but considering their preferred source for "fair and balanced" news and their willingness to drink the Koolaid w/o further research, I'm dubious...
They're calling the medicare welfare (which it is), not his salary!
Even more interesting - if that's the word - if you read the whole Rolling Stone article, is that there are many people at that Tea Party rally in those mobility scooters, which were entirely paid for by Medicare, and many elderly who, by artifact of their age, are collecting both Social Security and Medicare.
One of my main complaints about these Tea Party and Republican movements is their opposition to universal healthcare, while many of them are themselves taking advantage of Medicare or Tricare. Another is, I believe that in reality, if you're not one of the top 1% of earners in the US or a major corporation, like GE, then the Republicans don't truly care about you, except for your votes. My mother used to be a staunch Democrat, but now is a rabid Republican in her retirement years (yes I recognize my bias language here, but I stand by it) even though she will never - ever - be wealthy enough to benefit from the policies put forth and supported by the Republican party. In fact, many of the GOP ideas for SSI and Medicare may actually be to her disadvantage, but I fear she is penny-wise and pound-foolish in this respect.
Since they were forced to pay into Social Security all of those years, why shouldn't they collect what they can?
Ah, but SSI is suppose to be insurance not retirement, though that's how it has come to be seen. My wife also paid into SSI all her life, then died at 61. Her monies will go to help someone else. I don't have any issue with people collecting what they're entitled to or allowed/need, but *if* you're going to collect, don't bitch about the system on which you're taking advantage being the problem. Too many of the Tea Party, and other, people are complaining about SSI and Medicare - "Keep the government away from my Medicare" (sigh, you can't argue with stupid) whilst depending on those very programs. The arguments that they are deserving, while "others" are not is weak and self-serving. Arguments of abuse or fraud are not unique to SSI and Medicare and, even in those cases, the problem is the fraud and abuse, not the programs.
the mostly lower middle class tea party types will understand...
Ah, but by then they'll all be retired, collecting Social Security and Medicare, but still bitching about the "welfare state". From
The Truth About the Tea Party
"I'm anti-spending and anti-government," crows David, as scooter-bound Janice looks on. "The welfare state is out of control."
(Reporter): "OK," I say. "And what do you do for a living?"
"Me?" he says proudly. "Oh, I'm a property appraiser. Have been my whole life."
I frown. "Are either of you on Medicare?"
Silence: Then Janice, a nice enough woman, it seems, slowly raises her hand, offering a faint smile, as if to say, You got me!
"Let me get this straight," I say to David. "You've been picking up a check from the government for decades, as a tax assessor, and your wife is on Medicare. How can you complain about the welfare state?"
"Well," he says, "there's a lot of people on welfare who don't deserve it. Too many people are living off the government."
"But," I protest, "you live off the government. And have been your whole life!"
"Yeah," he says, "but I don't make very much."
The article is a sad, revealing story of the hypocrisy of the Tea Party and it's members...
According to the National Maximum Speed Law,
it was 55 in 1974, then 65 in 1987. The law was repealed in 1995 when authority to determine the the maximum speed limits for each state was returned to the U.S. States. While in force, though, it was a condition of each state receiving highway funds, a use of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. (Which was the background for my response.) Also see Speed limits in the United States.
I cannot conceive of why this should be federally managed.
The same way the federal speed limit is enforced within states...by the states themselves because they want stuff from the feds. I'm sure many/some of those state roads were built or are maintained with federal funding of some sort or some other form of federal support to the state will be linked to state enforcement of the federal rule.
Considering the hassle I had just getting a 220-volt outlet to power my dryer installed at my house, I'd hate to think what the electrician is going to say when I tell him I want an outlet that can deliver enough power to drive my car 100 miles--and deliver it in just a few minutes. Poor bastard is going to have a heart attack.
Of course, with your 220v line, some paddles (or jumper cables) and gel, you'll be ready for that.:-)
