Wouldn't automated infrared monitoring be more effective? You could spot vehicles and brush fires and whatnot pretty easily. Perhaps the problem is that the satellite(s) do not have infrared capabilities.
How are those 4.5 million people supposed to get to Staten Island? I realize there are three bridges and a ferry, but from what I saw this summer they seem barely adequate for current needs.
Well, I don't know about that. "Oceanographic Research" vessels in the Navy are not exactly what they appear. Any scientific research they are doing is in support of improving our own naval warfare capabilities, or spying on and testing the capabilities of other nations.
I'm not sure I trust this story. No one seems to be reporting it except the Daily Mail.
Anyway, I am reminded of an old Dilbert strip from back in the 90's. Dogbert suggests to Dilbert that he leave the pointy-haired boss voicemail messages in the middle of the night, so that the boss will think he is diligently working on projects at all hours. Dilbert wakes up in the wee hours of the morning to leave the message, and groggily begins, "This is Dilbert. I'm sitting here in my underwear, thinking about you..." Suddenly he realizes what he has just said and frantically starts pressing buttons to delete the message. Instead, he accidentally sends it to everyone in the office.
Some people are criticizing Romney for being stupid, while others say it was meant to be a joke. I'm having trouble figuring out which is worse. If he was serious, then he's about as sharp as a sackful of wet mice. If he was joking then it was a spectacular flop. I suspect a little of both. He probably knows that there is a reason the windows don't open on aircraft, though he has absolutely no clue what that reason is. And he probably has always assumed he's witty because people around him politely laugh at his jokes. So, basically what we have here is a fairly dim person who has a seriously undeveloped sense of humor. I don't know about President of the United States, but he's definitely corporate executive material.
I wish I could sue my old high school for wasting my time with civics class. It was there I was taught that we had three branches of government, and that part of the job for each branch was to keep an eye on the other two branches in a system of "checks and balances". Clearly this was just a lot of sentimental BS.
The Orthodox Church does teach that the Church is the Body of Christ. However, individual Orthodox Christians are as capable as anyone of getting caught up in various ideologies and losing sight of what is important. In this case the Golden Dawn are replacing God with politics.
I am an Orthodox Christian and what little I've seen from the article the Facebook page is highly offensive. Elder Paisios was an unassuming, humble monk, who was a great spiritual teacher and loved by many. Making fun of him would be like picking on Mother Teresa or someone like that. Nevertheless, I think an arrest is uncalled for.
I would also like to point out that the over-reaction to the page is coming from political quarters. To my knowledge, the Church is not behind this.
I don't always agree with the Republicans, but on this issue they couldn't be more right. When I flip my light switch I want the light to instantly come on at full intensity. Anything else is the equivalent of going back to using tinderboxes and candles. I will give up my incandescent lights when they shut down all the brightly-lit, energy-wasting casinos that keep popping up all over the place.
I like P.J. O'Rourke's take on this: if you think getting back to nature is a good idea, take off all your clothes and roll around in your back yard a little bit. You'll soon discover it's not such a good idea.
Then again, there is this article from the Register today.
Nobody knows for sure what is really going on. The satellite record is too short for us to know if this is an extraordinary event, or part of a normal cycle.
Speaking from experience, it can be fine if you're not working together on the same project. Otherwise, it takes a lot of effort to compartmentalize. You cannot allow personal stuff to leak into work stuff. Imagine the following conversation:
Person A: "That structure doesn't look right. You should do something like this." (demonstrates) Person B: "There's nothing wrong with it." Person A: "It's inefficient." Person B: (Irritated) "Oh yeah? Well, I don't like the way you slurp your coffee!"
At this point things begin to spiral out of control...
It depends on a few factors such as the laws and regulations of your state, how much income you're making, etc. It's probably a good idea to hire a CPA. A good CPA can show you the tax advantages to incorporating and help you set up your corporation. In my state, it only costs $10 to start up a corporation, and I was able to outsource the payroll (even if you're the only employee, you're still paying yourself) to a company who would handle all the state and federal taxes and filings for about $60/month (this is worth it because there can be hefty fines if you miss a filing or make a mistake).
It's definitely a good idea if you have the income to justify it.

Infrared monitoring would be even simpler, and probably more effective.

Exactly. It's not like they're out there trying to figure out how to save the whales or whatever.

We are sowing the seeds for the next war, and it ain't gonna be pretty.

Insightful? What you just stated is "one set of beliefs", which means you're no better than anyone else.

It doesn't explain that vegetables contain the necessary DHA. Is that the case? I can only infer that from TFA.
I also have to ask the question: do other primates not eat vegetables?

Sophos in Greek means "wise".
"I think over the next 20 years, we will take literally hundreds of thousands of people to space..."
Well, I imagine you will take a few thousand people to space, until you have a really spectacular accident. Then we will see what happens.
I think Mars colonization is much further off than many people imagine.

These disks are great except when you replay audio files the vocalists sound like munchkins.
Looks like a complete cock-and-bull story.

So, it's possible that the design was Galileo's, but he didn't actually build the thing. In which case, the moniker is not entirely wrong.
