I saw most of Congress as uncivil, incompetent at fulfilling their basic constitutional responsibilities (such as timely appropriations), micromanagerial, parochial, hypocritical, egotistical, thin-skinned, and prone to put self (and re-election) before country.
I'm guessing this won't be on the reading list of the Congressional book of the month club (though it probably should be).
Why just look near Earth? Won't we want to build stuff far away from Earth too? Seems like having building supplies near Jupiter might be useful and a lot cheaper than bring them with.
If this ruling is upheld, and the law is permanently ruled unconstitutional, what happens to the people previously convicted under this law? IANAL, obviously.
Maybe this research was conducted by grad students. They wake up just before noon, and work for about an hour.
He may not be broken. Do you live at the magnetic North pole?
It's an obvious guess that these are for NIC cards to be used in some type of vending and/or dispensing machine. What I'm wondering is why is Coca-Cola designing their own cards? Do they really have a use for these that commodity cards can't accommodate?

> MULTICS, from which UNIX sprang as a stripped-down rules-deficient heresy. If MULTICS is Judaism then UNIX is Christianity.
Clearly referring to Christianity, not Judaism. Still makes no sense. A "family tree" analogy might have worked better, as he tries to attribute characteristics of religions to UNIX variants/descendents, which make the analogy tortuous, labored, and inaccurate. A comparison along the lines of "look at this redneck UNIX family tree, here's uncle-cousin OS-X..." could be much more accurate and comprehensible (and probably entertaining).
Mocking security measures, names of security-related installations, the Ministry of Defense, or otherwise, is now a prohibited activity. We know where you are. Please report for detention immediately. Bring all of your electronic devices.
To take cruddy underwater pictures?
I always thought that the main benefit of waterproof phones is not to enable underwater use, but to protect against accidental plunges.
If you have cell phone service, a WiFi hotspot using 3g (either discrete or using a cell phone) should give you comparable speeds to DSL, and might cost less. Maybe someone who has done this can comment? I've thought about switching as we have 4g available, but haven't looked into the details yet.
I'm guessing you don't have FiOS in your area yet. Verizon DSL was usable for me until FiOS came through- the DSL quality started going down immediately. The connection speed theoretically remained the same, but it dropped the connection with increasing frequency until it became unusable after about a year. I suspect they just stopped doing any maintenance on the DSL lines and equipment.
On the positive side, FiOS does work well.
So if it is as the summary says and the planet is literally 11 times the size of Jupiter then that's quite a find. It basically says that there's either something wrong with either a) our understanding of planet formation or b) there's something wrong with how we measured this and the data is just wrong.
Maybe it's just 11x closer than they think it is, and moving away faster than expected. Would still be an interesting system to find.
How can I shield my car against this? I'm willing to add up to 20lbs to do it.
I know it's the holiday season and people will look for any excuse to eat whatever they want, but I don't think poor dietary habits will help with shielding against an EMP.
Unless you're already so large that you almost (but not quite) completely envelop your cars electronics.
Wow, what a wonderful way to improve the already adversarial relationship between property managers and tenants who are inconsiderate asshats
FTFY.
Really, anyone who can't be bothered to pick up their pets poop from property that isn't theirs is being exactly that.
