Zh is a tough sound to make for English speakers. The h represents aspiration of the z, and the z is pronounced as a 'ds' sound. Mix ds with a j, and you're pretty much there.
Fucking hell, why did they have to name this thing with -the- most difficult sound in the entire Chinese language?!
Just payback for "Tyrannosaurus Rex". That's three Rs right there, a tough sound to make for Chinese speakers*.
*I am aware that Mandarin has the rhotic (as in Pinyin 'ri' or 'ren'), which for me is the most difficult sound in the Chinese language.
Format shifting illegal? That would mean speakers are illegal, as they shift electric format to acoustic which people record in their brain (ear-to-brain would also be illegal as shifts format from acoustic to electric/biological BTW).
I'm sure someone up at the NSA is saying to themselves "OK wait, this guy is a truck driver and before that was a photographer....and now he's reverse engineered the goddamn A-bomb??". How is that possible?
Yeah, the order is all wrong. As sibling Vectormatic points out, A-Bomb knowledge comes first, then you become a truck driver and finally a photographer.
...you don't need to believe in anything that doesn't make sense. It's more of a philosophy than a religion.
It's epistemologically impossible to believe something that doesn't make sense. You can parrot a verbal formulation of a "truth" over and over and say that is what you believe, but that is entirely different from believing something.

I wonder who holds the record for largest vertical excursion on earth (not space) over a lifetime?
Three generations ago would be the DC-3 (1935).

I'm doing outsourced work for a US Corp. in India... and they don't let me telecommute! You insensitive clod!
I disagree, they're not designed to destroy productivity. They're designed to cut costs. Destroying productivity is just a happy side-effect.
Productivity=Production/Costs
That's a market triumph! What did you think markets were for?

They used elevation and colors to indicate gravity strength. Are the radii supposed to be linearly comparable? The differences look too big.
What does that mean anyway? Ceasing being productive? Quitting a "job" sure, but does any one believe Rutan will just stop doing anything?

Between two hot stories, there is an angle, no matter how obtuse.

IF $PERSON watched Jackass 3D AND says "Hey guys, watch this!"
THEN Do not insure
Exactly. My first reaction was, "Sheesh. Get over yourself."
Cut the guy a break, he says it right there in his blog title "I am Dennis Miller".
That it's even an open question shows how far from actual trustbusting we have gone.
Maybe the problem is too much trustmaking (restricted licensing, monopoly granting, etc.)
Crowdsourcing is just Conventional Wisdom 3.0 or Grapevine 2.0, depending on how you look at it.

Filing: 2001
Granting: 2011
Obviously it wasn't that obvious.
