But our most liberal major party is not to the left of anybody (on a world scale)? That was the claim ("You have right and further-right. (On a world scale, anyway.)").
When I became the NASA Administrator — before I became the NASA Administrator — [Obama] charged me with three things: One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering. -- Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator
Sorry, but in the USA you don't have left and right. You have right and further-right. (On a world scale, anyway.)
This gets repeated so often and I always overlook it, but attached to a story about Iran it just seems absurd. I'm guessing that you are conveniently forgetting the 45 or so Muslim-majority countries in your "world-scale".
Most people are attributing the Best Buy decline to the internet, but even more than you I think that Wal-Mart's aggressive push into Home Electronics is the primary factor.
4 quarts or 8 pints or 16 cups. It's part of the cool new power-of-two based measurement system that makes many everyday tasks much easier than the old power-of-ten system.
Honest question. I'm of the opinion that the TSA has way overstepped its legitimate function, but: what should the TSA be doing? I believe that most people would agree that the hijacking of airplanes is probably a thing of the past. However, commercial airplanes are probably still an attractive target for bombings. Is that really an issue? Would you ignore that problem, or is there some less intrusive way of preventing it?
Or is the real issue that the TSA's security implementation is so haphazard and ill-conceived that it is worthless and it should be made more rigorous?
Interesting, as I had read (sorry, no citation) that it was the other way around. The rationale was that the passenger (generally) knows when it's okay to talk and when to shut up. However, the person on the other side of a phone conversation has no clue.
I'd be much less interested in this getting changed, if this was just about take-offs and landings. But, here in Atlanta, the taxi-ing part of the trip sometimes seems like it is longer than the actual flight.
Obviously, the copy idea has lots of problems. Perhaps, better would be when paying for music, send real money along with a license agreement stipulating how the physical currency may be used and/or transferred. Include the serial numbers as part of the license agreement.
I was going to make a joke about suicide due to the shame of making this mistake, but then I remembered that this is a Chinese factory. DON'T KILL YOURSELF!
Very nice. However (there's always somebody that has to do this), he's measuring the wrong angle. The angle of the stick has rather little to do with the trajectory of the shot. He needs to measure the angle of the sling with respect to vertical (just like the game)
I look forward to the day where we can have a system that acts like a traffic cop. No induction loops looking at the immediate intersection, but instead smart cameras mounted on the traffic lights to look down the road as far as possible. In my opinion, this would be a much better approach than the one presented in this article. Instead of requiring a vehicle to carry a special communication system in order to signal ahead, just take advantage of the elevation afforded by the existing traffic lights. Most traffic lights have a pretty decent line-of-sight, as it is.
In heavy traffic, the system would attempt to minimize and equalize the wait time for cars coming in each direction, as opposed to traffic engineers periodically tweaking the timing of the lights to try to match the usage at each intersection. In lighter traffic, an artificial traffic cop would be a big improvement over the trip sensors that are installed where minor road feed into major roads. An intelligent system would look for natural breaks in the main traffic flow to let the sidestreet traffic through with minimal impact.

Thank goodness for MSNBC!

No, no. You misread the post -- it said paper "checks", not "cheques". Sheesh.

Because it takes quite a bit more time to do it without Python? I'm not sure why that point is not coming through.

Have there been any reports of people taking advantage of this discrepancy? It seems like a potential 60% profit would make it worthwhile to pursue.
