"So, if somebody wants to build a coal power plant, they can. It's just that, it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted. That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel, and other alternative energy approaches. The only thing that I've said, with a respect to coal -- I haven't been some coal booster -- what I have said is, that, for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter, as opposed to saying, if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it. You know, that I think is the right approach." Barak Obama, SF Chronicle Interview, Jan 17, 2008
Context has nothing to do with it, he's talking about putting the screws to power produced by coal.
Gotta love the condescension in his remarks: "...if somebody wants to build a coal power plant, they can..." But only by the grace of Obama!
I would if the bicycle flew long distances safely at 100+ MPH.
I have one that can be dropped safely from 3000m and reaches speeds far in excess of what you need. Safety is guaranteed for 99.999% of the trajectory.
First, here's a nicely colored map showing all of Europe in the 1.00 to 1.99 fertility rate bracket. (There is a link below the map that will break down the actual fertility rates by country.)
There is something terribly wrong when Europe, by dint of immigration and lack of fecundity, will see the noblest traditions swept away by the likes of "Sharia," et al. Sharia courts are already springing up in Britain.
This is really the fault of Western democracies, for not encouraging assimilation among immigrants. And yes, change always comes. It's not necessarily for better, though.
Just to throw in my 2 cents, I have just visited the "watch instantly" section (started up an old episode of "Columbo"), and it's the same old player, as far as I can tell, and no suggestion to download anything.
But if a lesbian says the exact same thing they tend to get "WTF I don't want to hear about your sexual orientationLOL I don't the gays but keep it to yourself."
Very nice. If you scroll toward the right (or east), you can see other grid patterns, although not as striking. Perhaps it's an artifact (not the Indiana Jones kind of artifact) of the sonar, or maybe the data-gathering process.
Now what's really fascinating are these gigantic letters spelling "(c) 2009 Google" on the ocean floor.
Nah, we have too many lawyers now. If anything they will look back and say "You morons, if you would just have thrown the lawyers and enviromentalist wackos out the window and just done the work you could have it cleaned up by now."
...or else it's obvious and everyone's going to do it.
If you plan to make money on your idea, it may be a bad sign that the idea is not already implemented. There may be a reason it's not, i.e. it's been tried, and it failed.

What an asshole! I had a visceral reaction to your description of the pistol gesture.
I admit, I may have to re-adjust my stereotypes concerning who works in Public Television...
I don't suppose you have a list of their names? If I remember correctly, it was a bunch of straw men who told them to GTFO.
"If your shirt be red, soon ye'll be dead."
But cash up front.
No, we'll always have PA-RISC.
Man, that Tom Lehrer... he didn't care whose toes he stepped on, did he?!
You, sir, are worse than Hitler!
People are going to find what they want.

Don't worry, there's always Joe Biden. He's run enough for the main job...
I don't say that, I say "hubba, hubba!"

They tried to drive their Google trucks there, but for some reason the engines flooded.
You can keep it inside any convenient Romulan corpse.
Did Digg get a /. make-over, or vice-versa...?
If not people, who makes the choices? I hope whatever they are, they have this perfect information you speak of.
It sounds so easy when you say it.
This seems like an outlandish claim. How do you arrive at this figure?

Wow, you remembered! Well, let's not worry about that, let's just wish our new President all the best.
That does nothing to confirm the original statement.
