Don't forget a complete etymology in case someone wants to fork the word. This will be great, we can keep forking until we have 10 or 12 versions of each language but without agreeing on how words are spelled and thus what anything actually means. The first thing we need to do is go after the organizations and publications that are closed source. Medical texts and laws can take on whole new meanings once the words they contain are not constrained by any single set of rules!
If you'll excuse me now, I've just selected a slightly pointy stick and I'm off to the braille library...
Other planets hell, what about zero-g? That will put a whole new spin on the "propeller" position! Sorry, it's wasn't going to leave my brain until I typed it out....

You know! The FORMULA:
You put some protons in,
and pull some neutrons out,
then you toss in some electrons,
and you shake it all about.
You publish real quick just in case your funding is in doubt.
And that's what it's all about!
There was a Marihuana Tax Act... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937: Excerpt From Wikipedia In 1969 in Leary v. United States, part of the Act was ruled to be unconstitutional as a violation of the Fifth Amendment, since a person seeking the tax stamp would have to incriminate him/herself. In response the Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. The 1937 Act was repealed by the 1970 Act.
I am confused by the moral aspects of this headline. Is moving into the assassination field a step down from patent trolling, or merely a lateral move?
When this guy gets in front of a crowd for a press release or announcement, a pulsating brain slug hat would be a nice touch. And a deadpan monotone "there was no evolutionary leap as some speculated, now kindly don this protective hat so we may give you a tour" would make it perfect.
The other states won't have to. TV manufactures will all comply so that they can sell in CA. So this will end up effecting all states, regulated or not. It's like this with many things.
I don't know about that. There are still cars being sold that don't pass California smog requirements. If you want the CA model they cram more crap under the hood. I live close to the CA border and there was a time when car dealers would advertise trying to get people to drive into California to buy a car... it didn't work and eventually they opened branch offices outside the state. Not only are the cars more powerful, the tax level is lower.
Back to TV's. Once this is in place maybe they can have people come to your home and certify your appliances like they require smog certification for cars. Oh and we could have a TV black market where cheaper power hungry TV's with wasteful features like "instant on" are available at lower than retail... and again no sales tax because if you sell something unlawful you don't normally give the state government a cut.
I don't see why ANY of this is a big deal. Joe Kittinger RODE a balloon up over 100,000 and then jumped out, with cameras rolling. OK, they weren't digital cameras, and the whole job cast a lot more than $200. but it was back in the 60's...
Well, here it is just before Christmas, Windows 7 is about to hit the shelves, and I don't think the public has the confidence to drop a wad of cash shopping this year... I think on December 26 there will be a lot of unsold inventory and retailers will need to slash prices to get stuff moving. Personally, I'm looking forward to that. If I see a good deal after the holidays I'm hoping to upgrade my hardware.
Scanning with high intensity radiation reveals he is in fact about 60 percent water, 16 percent protein, 15 percent fat, and about 3 percent nitrogen... So, more of a stringy, greasy, slightly gassy water bag really.
Sorry about the high levels of radiation used to obtain the data, your armpits should stop smoking any minute now.
How is it that every other time a politician cheats on his wife we hear about it?
I doubt we hear about more than 2 or 3 percent. Most politicians are in way too large a glass house to be playing with rocks. While I'm sure some leaks have been for power manipulation, I would think the bulk of them come from people close to a situation that is morally appalling to them. I think that letting something leak is a way of clearing cognitive dissonance brought on by working for the type of people that run the system.
Oh, that was hard to check... second Google hit goes to Wikipedia...
"Geimer testified that Polanski gave her a combination of champagne and quaaludes,"
"Polanski was initially charged with with six counts: "Furnishing Quaaludes to a Minor", "Child Molesting", "Rape by the use of Drugs", "Sodomy", "Oral Copulation" and "Unlawful Sexual Intercourse". These charges were dismissed under the terms of his plea bargain, and he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor."
It depends. If a neighbor's dog kept pooping on my lawn and he had one of those lawnmowing robots, the bot might just mysteriously gain a taste for his petunias.
What would be impressive is to get the lawnmower to go after the dog. Most pets freak out at the sight of a vacuum cleaner, the dog might get a bit constipated if every time it tried to crap the lawnmower fired up and headed straight for hm...
Apparently it's a major pain the arse for them but it makes the site on of the best places to buy stuff too.
Even if I'm not buying there I check to see if the item I want has any reviews. I also do a quick google with "[product_name_model] problem" and see if there are a lot of negative forum posts. I don't think screening posts is illegal, but it's sure not right. I would also contact the BBB about it.
Nice rant but the twitterer is being served an injunction and not being sued at all . ..
Twitter is the delivery method, not named as a party to an action. If you mail someone an injunction, you are not serving an injunction on the post office, you are using the post office to serve a third party... same thing here.
For what is thought to be the first time Twitter is being used to send a court order to a user of the Twitter service.
I have a wrench for that, it will tighten up everything but the ability to sense fear in squirrels. Good thing that one already fell off of most people anyway...
Seriously, I'm on oxygen and walk with a cane. I'll never hike into the Grand Canyon again, and I just avoid some things like visiting hilly towns (S.F. or even Jerome, AZ.) I do like being able to get into buildings via a ramp as stairs kick my ass... but I don't think they should have one circling the Statue of Liberty just so I can go to the very top of it. The whole PC thing is just gone nuts and I don't see how it will ever end as long as someone has the time and money to raise a stink. A REAL global economic meltdown would put an end to all this crap as we busied ourselves catching rodents for dinner... And squirrels are the easiest for me, I can sense their fear...
Why thank you for that wonderful coffee bath, the inside of my nose really needed a pick me up and a nice strong french roast at mouth temperature was just the ticket!
They are now spending stuff they ain't got yet and if they give something "back" it means they'll be taking twice as much later...
In the desert we get virga, when the condensate never hits the ground because it re-evaporates... I wonder if this might happen on COROT-7b. Also, you might get some fractional distillation going with different minerals settling out at different temperatures (i.e. altitudes). That would be really cool if there were little copper lumps and little zinc lumps with a nice mist of lead and other soft metals floating over the whole thing... the universe's largest dry cell battery!

If you name it Hyperdrive now, what will you name a FTL drive? Full-speed Hyperdrive? Hi-Speed?
You name it "Butt Pucker Drive" because the guy that has to flip the switch to test it the first time will have a round hole in his shorts for sure.
