The knight actually said, "I'll bite your legs off" and the line is from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

They knowingly allowed people to suffer permanent neurological damage and did nothing to try to warn anyone. The woman who filed the suit has had her life ruined, she cannot work, the drugs she needs to treat the problem caused cost thousands of dollar per month. The fucking company should pay. They could have stopped this and did nothing. They are morally responsible. "Actavis ignored scientific and medical literature establishing a higher risk of developing tardive dyskinesia, failed to request a labeling revision from the FDA, failed to change the label itself even though no prior FDA approval was required, and failed to report safety information directly to the medical community." THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT Case No. 08-31204

Ironic that they call it free speech when it was bought and paid for by the drug companies. SCOTUS also ruled this week that makers of generic drugs cannot be sued, even in cases where there was a known problem they did nothing about[1]. They also upheld a limit on medical malpractice damages set by a West Virginia law[2]. See a pattern here?

Anyone who can produce more electricity than they need should be able to easily sell it. It makes no sense at all to allow utility companies to put barriers in the way of this happening or for them to not pay a fair price for the power. The smart grid should abide by basic common sense.

"With this flight, we would like to encourage politicians to opt for more ambitious energy policies,"
The point of the project is to attract attention to solar power and they seem to be doing a good job of that.

If they combine this with rastafarianism, I'm in.

"Montoya quit the business in 2001 and wrote a tell-all book (Yesterday a Doctor, Today a Narco-Trafficker)."
I suspect the reason he had a price on his head was because they weren't too happy about the book he wrote.

The article said they'd been running it on water from the Charles River, so it doesn't have to be very clean.

My first programming lesson was with an acoustic coupler and a hard copy terminal connected to a DEC PDP 11 system. The first piece of computer hardware I owned was a VT-100 terminal, and the DEC 20 they had at Wesleyan was like HAL from 2001 to me at the time. The pacsal compiler was a nightmare, though. Ken Olsen and DEC taking on IBM was an inspiration. Cheers to Ken Olsen!

There is no mention of wage concessions in the article linked. Here's some info about the concessions: http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Union-says-GE-vote-will-be-close-552678.php They also mention that GE is closing a 400 employee plant in New Mexico in 2010. 350 new jobs, 400 lost jobs - $40 million from the government to build a $100 million dollar plant. So, the net result is spending about $2 million per job *lost*. This qualifies Immelt to advise the president on job creation? Isn't it a conflict of interest for someone who has a company that gets government funds to be advising the govt about job creation?
