The left-right paradigm is incredibly flawed. It depends on what axis you are measuring them. When it comes to market regulations, libertarians are to the far right of conservatives, by saying that business should have virtually no regulations, where liberals want lots of regulations and conservatives want few. If you are talking things like government healthcare, libertarians are as far right as is logically possible. By any modern definition of the term "Centrism", you are terribly incorrect in your assertion.
it's like a tivo for the future. wanna know who wins the golf tournament, but don't want to sit around and wait for it? go into a state of suspended animation!
everyone beat me to it! someone must be dumping things onto the internet like as if it were a dumptruck. someone must be enormous amounts of material into these tubes, and it's making my internet slower.
I'm an electronics salesman at staples, and we got them in today. We're one of the few stores in the nation to carry them, and even staples only has a few in.
I played with it for a bit today, and I have to say I love the design. The screen is crisp and clear with a high framerate, the two cameras are amazing, the touch screen is very responsive, and even the thumbstick is nice. The fold out qwerty keyboard is nice, but it takes some getting used to.
What strikes me is HOW small this thing really is. The original Origami concept was massive compared to this. It is barely bigger than two IPAQs glued together, and it weighs 1.4 lbs.
Not to mention it comes with EVDO support.
I'm impressed. Not 1700 dollars worth of impressed, but impressed none the less.
we take the shuttle catastrophies seriously. we've had two. I live Across the river from the cape in titusville, which is one of the couple of cities that provide NASA-KSC's life force. A good percentage of Titusville's jobs come from the space industry, from Lochead Martin, Boeing, United Space Alliance, and NASA itself.
When the columbia broke up, I can't even describe to you the mood in the town. We were all shellshocked. The space industry employees seemed as if a member of their family had died. They were all speechless.
Every person at NASA feels like they're sending their children into space. If the conditions aren't PERFECT, they'll stop the countdown. I can't even imagine what another catastrophe would do to those employees, or this entire town. Even with the eight lives and billions of dollars on the line, there is so much more to lose.
Anyway, don't forget the climate differences between Cape Canaveral and Russia. In summer in central florida, it rains just about every day, on and off. Most of our storms are thunderstorms, and bad ones at that. We get some pretty hefty wind gusts as well. Launching a shuttle in summer time isn't exactly easy around here.
i think we've got this one down pat.
but wait until private industry says it will send someone to the moon. then i bet you will see nasa snap into action
Not only is google dominating internet advertisement...
" a popular artist name, like the Beatles or the Pixies"
They're winning over our hearts, too. The Pixies more than deserve that placement. Bravo, google. Bravo.
Alright, Football players in the NFL practice EVERY DAY. They practice throughout the offseason, and for hours upon hours leading up to the preseason, and then they pracitce every day until the season ends. I'm sure other professional atheletes train just as rigorously, and with good reason, they get paid a lot to play a sport.
How are these paraball players supposed to practice? I don't see 7 of these planes flying 6 hours a day, doing parabola after parabola, for 9 months out of the year. Hell, I don't even think it's realistic that they do parabolas three times a week for two months. That's a whole lot of fuel, a whole lot of crew time, bottom line, a whole lot of overhead.
Say what you want, but I refuse to believe the will be able to practice on the ground, and have it anywhere near worthwhile. Think about this.
Remember astroturf, and how football players who practiced on grass all summer long would take to playing on astroturf, and they'd get injuries left and right. It's because an athlete is a finely tuned machine, who has taught his body to do a small number of things, extremely effeciently. You and I could play football on either field all day long and it wouldn't matter, but these athletes know their abilities so well, that when you change any small variable, not only does their effeciency drop exponentially, but they even end up injuring themselves!
The difference between grass and astroturf is a lot smaller than the difference between normal gravity, and total weightlessness.
what do they hope to accomplish with these comments?
it's not like MIT is going to go "Oh, intel is right, we should be providing them with brand new HP pavillions. We can provide them at $1,000 a machine, and think of what the added power will let those people do! They can play World of Warcraft, and maybe do some CAD...oh yeah, and video editing to boot!"

Yeah, but HuffPo is just reporting on the study. They should know better than to take the Cato institute seriously, but apparently they don't.
He just wanted to take a cheap shot. Occupy was about the system being corrupt, nobody was demanding the communist utopia he's implying.
i think they already made a TV show out of this. I think it's called 'dawson's creek'

mario? don't yell at me! I didn't rtfa. I don't have eyes. owww the blindness
I've got four pounds of bacon in my fridge right now.
I can't wait to hear how consipracy theorists are going to spin this one.

does he allow authorized attacks? i don't think I would.
who thinks absolutely no good can come of that?
take a giant vacuum, alright, and fill it up with co2, and then launch it into space, and shoot it at the sun
