Both the article and the summary state that it's already passed the House.

I'm curious, do any other countries tax Internet usage? I know the French proposed doing it to pay for their state-owned public television stations but I'm not sure how far that went.

How much you wanna bet that they continue to ask for H1B candidates after the next round of layoffs?

Found the article:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/10/...

"The child remained on antiretroviral drugs for approximately 18 months. Her mother then stopped administering the drugs for an unknown reason".

When I first read about this on CNN the other day, the article stated that the child's mother had stopped giving her the anti-viral medication she was prescribed. There was no an explanation as to why.

That makes sense.

Here in Louisiana I've been seeing more and more houses with solar panels on the roof. This is awesome, but at the same time I'm wondering how they are going to hold up when the next hurricane comes rollin' through. I guess it's a "wait and see" type of thing, but at the same time I'm sure it's something I could research.

Like I was saying, I'm in a agreement with you, just be careful with your numbers.

I noticed that both Chernobyl and Banqiao were designed by the Soviets. Coincidence?

31 people died in the initial blast. Alas, there are no hard figures for the full toll, but last time I checked, 31 > 5, which is what I was replying to raymorris about.

Why in the hell did my comment get modded down? I was just trying to point out a simple fact, not try to get involved in the fission vs fusion vs solar vs hydro vs wind etc etc. I guess that makes me the asshole now?

"Nuclear power has killed about 5 people"

Although I agree with you on fission, you may have forgotten about this nasty incident:

IANAL, but the government can open the safe themselves, but I'm not sure that they can "force" you to open your safe. Same thing with the encrypted drive; the government is free to spin their wheels trying to figure out their keys on their own, but they can't force the key from you directly.

But did Netcraft confirm it?

Personally I prefer "half-dead" or "quasi-dead". Does that make me a pessimist?

Please mod this up. Thanks for the info. This thing has been around for over 20 years! I had no clue.

Wow after reading my comment it does sound like I'm downplaying the research. I guess I should probably wait and see what's gained from this before I run my mouth.

I get all that. I think the article may be misread as him "breaking a record" of some type, when all he's actually doing is staying in an undersea lab longer than his grandfather. I'm not downplaying the research aspects of it, but one could question how much serious research is being done if they have to promote the endeavor on social media the way that they are.

This has been done before (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEALAB), and I don't believe that it was turned in a huge PR stunt (barring Carpenter's hilarious phone call with LBJ).

I see how it could be read that way. It would have been better to say "will stay underwater longer than his grandfather" instead of "will beat grandfather's record", which could be read as his grandfather holding a record in the first place.

At first I read the headline and thought "oh, he's going to be underwater using scuba gear for 31 days, awesome", but after reading the article he's going to spend 31 days in an "undersea lab". That's supposed to be a record of some type? Don't sailors in both the U.S. and Russian Navy spend many months at a time submerged in nuclear subs? If it is a record, it states that his grandfather holds it at 30 days....but fails to mention that Scott Carpenter spent that same amount of time in SEALAB II. So which is it?
