40% of the US population will be untethered from landlines and using their cell numbers exclusively
Tethered? That should mean not going far from it. We always leave our landlines at home. Hence, untethered. We carry our cell phones with us, so we are never far from them, hence tethered.
Further, when moving, land line numbers change, and we accept that. For cellular phones, we now have laws that let us take them with us even when changing carriers.
Land lines are also cheaper. The main advantages of cellular phones are convenience, and no monopoly.
If anything, there is more freedom with a land line. Just ask anyone with a cell phone.
While this may show interesting correlations, the fact remains that if more calories are burnt than are consumed, the body will lose weight.
When kids exercise more, they also eat more, and the body tries to retain the same reserves while burning off more calories. Eating no more, or just a little more, will be fine and the subject will still lose weight.
It's when the eating leads to significantly ore eating that there is a problem.
So, exercise and diet are required. But that isn't news. We've known this for quite some time.
You know, things like claiming that the word "denier" is a holocaust reference.
He never said such a thing. The exact quote from the article is:
I can tolerate being called a sceptic because all scientists should be sceptics, but then they started calling us deniers, with all the connotations of the Holocaust.
All the connotations of. The word denier (when refering to those who deny) is uncommon, as is usually used as a strong term.
Anyway, the word itself, to many, does indeed carry sucha reference. Just now i googled denier, and the second line (first entry, first sub-entry) was a Holocaust reference in Wikipedia.
IMNSHO, a denier, when referring to one who denies, is nearly always predicated with what is being denied. On its own, however, it would refer to a famous topic that has famous incidents of deniers. One such case, and to many nearly the only case, would be the Holocaust.
I have four PhDs in theology, sociology, psychology, and nuclear physics, so I feel I'm qualified to answer this question.
Well, i have 5 PhDs in this question, plus i speak 71 languages, and know judo. So, i actually am qualified to comment.
All i can say is that your comment is inconclusive, and that we are setting up an exploratory committee to set a tentative time to review the possibility of requesting that the committees committee resolves to look into the matter of having a committee ascertain exactly what is the impact of your comment.
We need Congress to change its rules to require at LEAST 24-hours for the text being voted on the be processed by the body before a vote is taken. They could, of course, waive this requirement in emergency circumstances, but not by voice-vote.
Actually, in order for a bill to be brought to the floor, a committee has to bring it to the floor (which is set up at the beginning of a congressional term) iirc, it's the Ways and Means committee (though i can't remember anymore). IIRC, the only way around this is to make the House a committe ("a committee of the whole House") and vote that the House should take it up.
So, what you are asking for is already in place. If it needs fixing, it's the sub-committee that needs it. And the way to do that is to force the sub-committee to take up bills in order, and never allow jumping ahead in line. That alone would slow down bills for months. And if there was an emergency, the committee of the whole House could take it up.
Water cools things? Wait. i have an idea! Remember those people saying something about global warming? Well, let's spread water all over the Earth. That oughta cool it off real well.
Most of the story is ridiculous. It's not like anyone thought it was true and is shocked to find out it isn't. Perhaps a better title would be nine fantasies accepted in US-based movies.

Um, isn't this about two weeks too early?

See! I told you ipv6 was evil!
An IP for everyone. Bah!
What? You say there was no "time" before the Universe, so no "before"? That could cause problems....
:)
Time measures movement. No creation, nothing to move, so no time. Time and space require each other.

Didn't Gary Larson come up with this a decade ago?
Something about scientists exercising their cerebellums in the morning.
They are trying to woo who?
Dupe. And they warned of something similar a while ago.

North Carolina is considering a bill to re-instate earth, water, air, and fire as elements.
Reinstate? They are elements, just not on the periodic table.
And *you* thought *they* were being ignorant?
Why do conservatives disregard conservation?
They do not disregard it. No case has been made for it.
Why do right-to-lifer's support the death penalty?
Better question. Why to pro-abortionists oppose it?
Why do liberals promote loss of liberty?
They believed in controlled liberty.
Why do those who dodge military service advocate preemptive war?
Because it's not them that are dying.
A few more conundrums to ponder....
Sure.
Why do hot dogs come eight to pack, yet hot dog buns come twelve to a pack?
Why is it called a building if it is already built?
Why do we claim children have potential, if we will never consider anyone to have actually realized this so-called potential?

Very cute.
Interesting, thanx. :)

I for one welcome our new giant lint rollerlords.
FTA:
While Sir Alec's cloak was missing, it was loaned to other films - including The Mummy in 1999 - and was even hired out as fancy dress.
How was it loaned if it was missing? And ever more... how was it "hired out"?!
Water cools things? Wait. i have an idea! Remember those people saying something about global warming? Well, let's spread water all over the Earth. That oughta cool it off real well.
What can i say, i'm a genius.

Film would have you believe that radioactivity is contagious and makes you glow in the dark. Where did this idea come from? The Simpsons?
Even the Superman shows in the 50s had this affect.
These ideas are old indeed.
and the article is over 6 YEARS old.
Wow, that's older than most slashdotters.
If "black is beautiful", this stuff is *really* beautiful. If only i could see it, i could reflect on its meaning in my blackest hour.
