Not really most people bounce a bit when they walk, and the knees end up having to absorb the wasted energy, may as well absorb at least some of it and put it to good use.
Unless I'm missing something, which I don't think I am, that only applies between you and your mail server, between mail servers there is no such guarantee.
That was my thought. The only important thing is that stored emails tend to hang around longer, meaning that there's more time to decide whether or not to trap the information. Not to mention a better guarantee that you'll encounter the email you're after.
It was most likely dropped because it wasn't so much a UFO as a surveillance balloon that the US didn't want to acknowledge. Remember, that while spy satellites are known about now, balloons being used for that sort of thing weren't very well known and they were much easier to shoot down.
That wasn't a hoax, but it wasn't a UFO in the sense of aliens either. If you read the account carefully, it's likely to be correct. The reason being that during that period of history, the US government was using false reports of UFOs as a way of covering up the surveillance balloons they were using to spy on the Russians.

The Daily Mail posted another archived UFO document dated July 8, 1947 as further proof the Hottel memo referred to Roswell. Reading the memo and the document there are distinct differences between Hottel’s descriptions of three UFO spaceships–’circular in shape with raised centers’–versus the 1947 document description which stated ‘one flying disc’, ‘hexagonal in shape’. The flying disc, ‘suspended from a balloon by a cable’.
Sounds an awful lot like what one would be using for that sort of task.
You do realize that psychology isn't actually science, right? And that argumentum ad hominems just make you look like a dumbass.
Most humans, despite the beliefs to the contrary are more or less decent people, there's just this nasty tendency towards confirmation bias that makes it seem otherwise. People tend to be social and without those 1-2% individuals that behave like that, I'm really not convinced that people would behave like that.
That being said, there's no way of knowing because we'll never get rid of those sorts of people in the population at large long enough to actually answer the question.
Steve doesn't necessarily understand physical objects, he has a knack for promoting and supporting people that know what they're doing. He wasn't responsible for the iPod, iPad, iPhone or any number of other gizmos that they've had great luck with, he was however responsible for ensuring that the people who were had the resources and support to make a quality product.
The problem is that if you don't remove the surface coat of oil everything below ends up suffocating. Mind you cleaning up the oil on the surface really isn't enough, but you're not going to have anything left if you don't deal with it in some fashion.
You do realize that if they hadn't chosen an inept business model in the first place that we'd likely be complaining about Apple's monopoly over the desktop market, right? There were a lot of inept decisions which led to the near demise of Apple, but being too open wasn't really one of them. (Depending upon how you count allowing other manufacturers to make hardware that could run their OS
One of the reasons that Apple lost out was the lack of openness to the platform, there were other problems, but that wasn't helping them any.
The issue is that we'd have to slash the defense budget by about $300bn in order to get anywhere near there. And we'd have to raise taxes on the rich as well. There's a lot of fixation on the spending, but the problem hasn't been relegated to just spending, there's also been dumb tax cuts to leeches which have further skewed the figures.
The GOP is responsible for at least $200bn of debt that they won't cut and won't allow to be taken from the rich to pay for. And that doesn't include the money that's been lost due to tax cuts either.
That's the thing though, the GOP is run by ideologues who won't compromise. Even the health care reform package which was almost completely composed of their own proposals got a hard fight to pass because it was supported in the end by Democrats that realized that if they didn't pass at least that, we were all pretty much screwed.
This budget fight was over funding for Planned Parenthood, NOAA, EPA, funding the healthcare reform terms and funding for banking regulation. It wasn't about the budget, it was a bunch of petulant brats that couldn't set aside pettiness long enough to do their country a service. Even during the period where they were voted out of the majority, they still refused to do anything which might make the Democratic leadership look good, even if they had to fuck over most Americans to do it.
The issue there is that the process of amending the constitution makes that all but impossible. Doing it on a state by state basis just leaves the last few states without term limits with a ridiculous amount of power.
You do realize that the GOP's budget strategy of cutting taxes on the rich and spending huge sums of money to make corporations happy left the President in a huge budget hole, even before he took office, right? Clinton was in a relatively similar situation when he took office as well, large GOP driven deficit spending.
That's sort of the point. From what was being said, it was primarily the GOP trying to abuse the budgeting process that was causing the trouble. Nearly all of the actual budget related negotiations had been completed, it was just ideological amendments which were holding it up. Things like preventing access to Planned Parenthood, cutting funds to regulate banks, cutting funds to enact the healthcare reform and reducing funds to NOAA and the EPA which were sticking points.
The actual amount of money there was paltry and the only reason why those things were being targeted was because they're politically unpopular with conservatives.
For all the obsession about balanced budgets you rarely, if ever, hear the GOP pushing plans which would actually do it. It's all about tax cuts for billionaires, increased government spending on programs they like, and cuts to programs that help low and middle class citizens survive.
What I mean is that the controller is tiny. It doesn't fit my hands at all. I can sort of get that they made that the default, but refusing to release one that's reasonably ergonomic for adults was puzzling. Nintendo likewise released a balance board for the Wii which is tiny, granted I've got a big butt, but I'm hardly over weight. It might be fine in Japan, I'm not sure how they size up in the posterior department to us in the US. Japanese companies might be more focused on the customers local to them, but I regularly find that hardware companies from that part of the world make great hardware, but completely ignore any opinions that we have over here about the software components. Frequently the subsidiaries in the US are given little to no say in terms of bringing things to market here.
And yes, I definitely could be wrong in my interpretation of the causation. I just find that companies like Canon and Sony care little if at all about the culture around here. Canon for instance wouldn't named their G4 the G5 for linguistic reasons, but felt perfectly fine releasing a Rebel in the US.
That's not a citation, that's your interpretation. Threatening a public official isn't automatically going to end with court proceedings, there is a legal threshold that must be met. It doesn't happen to occur to you that if Fox was the only one covering it that the threats might not have been credible?
Remember Fox and the con-alt-media are the ones that believe in this massive liberal conspiracy and that Fox went to court specifically to defend its right to make up stories. Fox itself isn't a source of news, and that's their official stance on the matter.
That was my thought. Cantor is evil, but that's no reason to threaten him. As rewarding as it would be, you can't just string up politicians for being evil.
As others have suggested, the difference is that unlike the GOP, the Democratic party doesn't encourage, endorse or suggest violence as a means of solving the political problems int he US. Or have you forgotten about that? The various incidents were pretty well covered by the media.
That's a solid point. Back when I was working security, the terror alerts were somewhat useful, but for most people they're mostly a way to scare people. Perhaps if people had some idea what to do with the information it might be helpful, but as it is there's little actual benefit for most people being made aware of it.

Well, at least we can still use windmills to keep the Dutch cool.
Because, he'll get you laid.

I'm game, I think I've got a couple dollars left from my last pay check.

I'm hoping for Darl McBride, I think that should be good for a few LULZ as all the Apple fanbois stroke off.
