I don't deny this. Both sides engage in myopic and unilateral judgmentalism. In the case of Bush's DOJ, I feel the story is particularly skewed on a website that is NOT expressly partisan (at least in theory).
Let's keep some perspective here. Bush catches flak for removing DOJ attorneys after a few years of trying to work with those people that were in place when he took office. An argument could be made that he tried to work with those across the aisle and realized that it was impossible.
Why didn't Clinton have the same problem? Because he FIRED THEM ALL as he took office and put his own people in. And it was CLINTON'S appointees that Bush was dealing with.
Another way to say this is that Europeans want the product costs of a Laissez-Faire marketplace but the worker Panacean benefits of a heavily regulated, bureaucratic government?
...Bush's description of huge solar cells floating in space, shooting energy down through the atmosphere via a laser? Why did the story just die? Hell maybe I dreamed it.
Anyway I need an alternative-energy zealot to explain why and how this will or will not work, assuming I didn't just make this whole thing up.
1. Start new company
2. Hire ONLY FEMALES
3. Give them a 5% increase in standard industry wage
4. Undercut all those FOOLS that have male employees
5. Skip step 6
6. ??????????
7. PROFIT!
It isn't cell tower overload - it's control over information. When there are problems with the plane that may be known by people on the ground the last thing they need is a bunch of cell phones ringing to cause absolute panic. Can you imagine being in the air on 9/11 and getting a phone call from your screaming family as they told you what was on the news?
My first thought was that this could make underwater communication possible. My second thought was that now wives could nag us even while their mouths are busy, um, doing other things...like eating
Wait a minute, what you say would be accurate if the states didn't vote in an ALL OR NOTHING scenario. You (and the current electoral college) completely discount the 30-40% of the Republican votes in California in your example.
Yes, Ryan, you are correct. I'm in the industry, and many of the call centers use predictive dialers, which anticipate how many concurrent outbound calls the machine should be making in order to maximize efficiency of the employees while not pissing off too many people. Actually, the regulated hard number is 3% - you can't have more than 3% of your outbound customers pick up phones filled with silence!
In a fascinating infectious lifecycle, a mouse with toxoplasmosis is eaten by a cat, which then harbors the responsible parasite in its intestinal tract. The feline's feces is now infected, and the next mouse to come in contact with it is now infected as well. This mouse now loses his innate fear of cats, which virtually guarantees that he'll be eaten. Lather, rinse, repeat!

Yes I know M is abbreviation for 1000 (from Latin root), but I still find the headline to be misleading. 240k is unambiguous, as is 240,000...

Bush politicizing the DOJ? Gimme a break!

At least one.
Actually, wouldn't flooding the audience with infrared do it? Why don't theaters just have a few small holes in the screen emitting IR?
Hence all of the amazing, life-improving innovation coming out of Uganda, for example...snark

Yes I botched the hell out of the quote. I'm too lazy to go look it up.
Again, it's not whether *I* would want to know the info, it's whether the AIRLINE would want you to know...

"This paper, then, is a serious analysis of a ridiculous subject, which is of course the opposite of what is usual in economics"
which is normally a ridiculous analysis of a serious subject?

I'd rather die 15 years from now.

Does everyone stay below that number? No.

Why not have the computer tally the votes, and the humans count the printed receipts to double-check the accuracy?
