RTFA. The fear is that the hydrogen explosions have already caused a failure in the concrete which is why radiation is being detected in water outside of the plant.
Absolutely. And the founding fathers of our country understood this about themselves as well.
Do you disagree with the principals of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin?
Do other Americans feel that our forefathers were too radically American?
And not to be insensitive to the 2,752 people that died on 9/11...Are the people of this country so complacent that they would reduce all freedoms because no more than a fraction of a percentage of the populous perished in their practice of everyday freedoms?
It is my belief that Government should provide for its people, not dictate, demean, and control its subjects.

Analysts predict that Oracle's poor management will cause the Moon's gravity to disband, causing it to fracture and the smaller particles to fly into space. This brilliant move will undoubtly solve Oracle's inability to handle its leap-second delema.
Its an interesting idea, but I think AI would likely thrive in areas of space filled with less heat and more gravitational wells...ie black holes. Whiche would allow time to progress slower for them and only leaving to recharge their 'batteries' using other nearby stars (if at all).
This also might be the reason we haven't found any signals... The black holes would likely suck the radio transmissions back in before reaching a point where they might escape. And even if they did escape, we have a hard time locating black holes and usually only focus our attention on active star clusters, so we would probably miss them anyway.
It would be interesting if the WOW! signal was just that, a black hole surrounded by AI that passed breifly between us and Sagittarius...
meh. Rather than of effected change, I hope my actions affected that individual.
I thought we already established that I am cheap dick, that you should always tip 15% and then go cry directly to the manager like a whiny little bitch. Or, maybe I should of left the dollar and ran out the door with my tail between my legs because I didn't have the conviction to stand behind my actions.
If I just wanted to rant, I would have remained an "Anonymous Coward."... A little like you.
But I will take my licks. I am a cheap dick for letting the waitress know what I thought of her service by using the instrument of payment (ie tipping), which is designed to illicit quality service, in a way that let her know just how valuable I thought her service was. Am I getting your point correctly?
Because it is so ingrained. If I left nothing, I would appear like a tourist (I am in Orlando after all). By leaving a single dollar, I believe I sent her a message.
Australia is an entirely different animal, especially in regard to minimum wage (I believe you call it fair-pay). The rate exchange for AUD/USD is something like 1:0.85. And after conversion, your minimum-wage (14.31AUD) is over twice that of the US (7.25USD).
However, this US minimum-wage requirements don't apply to "tipped" employees. They get a special minimum wage of 4.19USD (4.89AUD). And restaurants do not pay waiters/waitresses over minimum...ever.
But you are right, in the recent years even I have become amazed at the gall of some businesses/people. You can find tip jars at fast-food restaurants, coffee shops...I think I even remember seeing one at a gas-station recently. I will reward someone for service if they do a good job, but I refuse to put a single cent in the tip jar of a cashier that handed me a hamburger...and who wasn't even the one to throw the burger patty in the microwave before placing it between two stale peices of bread to warm under a heat lamp for 10 minutes before I even placed the order.
Alright, I'm joking here...the burger was likely under the heat lamp for 30 minutes before I ordered.
Boohoo. I was in a restaurant for a few hours recently, the waitress forgot our drink order twice (each time taking 15-20 minutes), gave our dinner order to another couple (incidently, it was a sushi place and the couple was ignorant to what they were eating), and then didn't bother to apologize or tell us we would be waiting (thirsty) for another 30 minutes. She was only waiting on 4 other tables. I made it a point to sit at the table till after she picked up the receipt so I could see her face when she looked at the $1 tip on a $90 check.
I was in good company so the wait didn't really bother me. But when the service is bad the tip is how you show it. People feel so entitled to getting money without doing the work to deserve it.
On the reverse side of the coin, when a waitress does well, I don't hesitate to leave 25%...

How does "anol" sound? Although, "but-anol" is just as catchy...
For sequel names, I am kind of fond of Blade Jumper...or...Blade Runner 2: Tastes Like Soylent Green.
With it being lighter, will Tosh be able to hit it further?

They have gone as far as to place Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin on the DHS-TSA joint Terror Watch List. Apparently these individuals had radical ideas about what freedom should be...which flies in the face of what the DemoRepubLiberTea party members truely want. power and money.
They are both utterly incompitent and have no place in American society.
I am truely ashamed.
