Nice... So you also blame slow RV's on mountain roads too? And tourists? And old cars that are having trouble with power to get up? And of course, people driving the legal speed limit and safe speeds around blind curves.

Come on, you're just being a bad driver and don' want the blame. I drive in the rockies all the time, its got everything I mention, and if I drove like you I'd be dead by now, from colliding at high speed into another "motorized death machine".

Safe driving that prevent bicycle collision also prevents other forms of collision. I pray I never see you in Big Thompson Canyon.

The one day with moderator points... Thank you.

Don't need to give up meat, just cut back. For your health, your paybook and your environment.

People can start out by just having one vegetarian day per week, it'll be a great start.

When was the last time I didn't use a table tag on a page? Uh, today... the day before that, and before that.

I use tables rarely and only for displaying data, never for formatting a page. I stopped using tables for design years ago, that's why we have CSS.

I think its time for you to stop using tables for design. Tables lock your user into your content via your specific design. Flexibility and accessibility requires properly formatted CSS with divs and spans, knowing how to use floats and relative positioning.

But yes, datagrid element will be great.

I'm glad you mentioned the overwhelming parts of the charts related to billing and legal.

Right now its the CYA mentality which slows down a lot of ER work, and billing issues mixed in with actual health emergencies is just plain stupid.

Of course both of those issues could be solved by removing billing and legal issues, and pushing them straight to the Government. If everyone could just go to the doctor and not worry about cost (both sides) we'd be in better shape. Having the gov also look over malpractice can be very helpful (as you say, look at the VA.)

Too bad. A couple major cargo shipment companies are looking at sail again. The speeds they've been doing lately to save fuel cost makes sail competitive again.

You also have those silly dutch who are building a custom wind based boat to transport their windmill blades/rotors across the Atlantic.

Your sarcasm was sadly to close to the truth (plus Windjammer cruises are the best.)

Wimpy people in Chicago...

Back when I lived in Denver I walked from light rail stop to work or school in the winter (snow, freezing) and summer (90+ no humidity.)

I remember the down pour in spring once, and decided with my partner to run to a different stop, because it was fun (and Denver rain is freezing.) Then again, that was college days, doubt I'd do something like that again.

Still walking a mile or two from stop to work is something most people can adapt to (and in Downtown Denver the don't need to, with the mall bus and light rail routes crossing the whole city... most you'll walk is half a mile.)

Setting up a client/server retail installation for one of my clients.

First store I had extention cables from other stores to my server, and to one front computer at a time. Meanwhile i'm crawling on my hands/feet with construction still going on. Then they started painting and I had to remove everything.

Sadly, next installation wasn't any better (why they always scheduled painting/flooring for the same time as computer setup is just insane.) Just had the giant puddle of water in the center of the store where a floor was supposed to be.

So glad I mostly code, and rather leave setting stuff up to others.

I know its been covered a lot elsewhere (scienceblogs.com) but I don't think it can be understated. Colbert Report is a great venue for science, a wonderful public face. He's had on lots of scientists, more than any show I can recall in a couple decades.

I don't recall the last fun show that had the host actually talking to an Astronaut in orbit.

So even if NASA goes with Serenity for the name, I'm glad they went onto Colbert to announce it.

This is fun, since you just came from Red State I presume, I'll speak in slow words so you can understand.

Bushisms are like the President Grooping a Prime Minister, or congratulating the Queen on her 200th birthday.

Obama mistake? Giving a thoughtful gift with sight for forethought. Or a gift that the kids will enjoy (toy helicopter.)

Bush used a Teleprompter his whole term, when it was pulled away we got Bushisms. Obama uses a teleprompter just like Bush, but when its pulled away he speaks English and people enjoy and cheer.

See, my point here, you have no point yourself. You live by a set of rules that are inconsistent at best. You project your own foibles on your enemy, while Democrats don't even consider Republicans their enemy.

Please, step back from your computer before you hurt yourself... All you do is repeat what Red State tells you, you dont' have a single thought of your own up there (if you did, you wouldn't be even bring up teleprompters or a personal gift with meaning.) The rest of the world doesn't care about those... They do care if The President gives a Prime Minister a back-rub (a little care.) They do care when the president breaks the Geneva Convention (a lot.) But in the Republican world, torture isn't as important as an iPod.

I like this idea, sadly I would have never found it from a plebeian like yourself.

Only 2 points for my ID, i'm so sad. Why no achievement for meta-moderating 5 days in a row?

When they first opened up, they offered upgrades for stereo equipment. I bought some crappy speakers as I went to college, at the end of the year (when summer job income appeared) I went back and got full price refund while upgrading to something not to be embarrassed about.

A year later they started with their DiVX plan to conquer the world and I rarely went back (okay, picked up some speaker cable once.)

and all this time I took the direct highway (93) from Golden to Boulder, who knew I should have gone out of the way the whole time, just to avoid 2 traffic lights.

I went to college in Golden, you're more accurate about Golden than the original posters is.

Plus you already have 3 highways already going into the city, so that would never have been the complaint. The problem was space, Golden is small and sandwiched between mountains and mesa's. There wasn't room there unless you stacked 460 over 6. If they bent it around the east side of mesa's they'd bypass the space issues.

The rich upscale folks are in Evergreen, just west up Lookout Mountain, where the productive antenna's are. If they tried installing anything on the Mesa's I'd understand Golden fighting it. Everytime someone tries to build there they regret it (the ground, it moves a lot, ask the houses that fell down on Green Mountain, or those ones sliding on south mesa.) The engineers know not to build anything there (not even a road to the top of the 2 mesa's), there are roads up to lookout mountain, where you can deal with Evergreen people, and just replace their current antenna's that no one can see but provide coverage for all of the Denver area.
