More of the usual right wing BS...

Today, 99.86 percent of estates owe no estate tax at all, according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center (TPC).4 Among the 3,780 estates that owe any tax, the “effective” tax rate — that is, the percentage of the estate’s value that is paid in taxes — is 16.6 percent, on average

...

Only the wealthiest estates in the country pay the tax because it is levied only on the portion of an estate’s value that exceeds a specified exemption level, currently $5.25 million per person (effectively $10.5 million per married couple).

What's this search nonsense ? It has pre-computed solutions for a number of scenarios, why not just look up the scenario based on the detected failure directly.

Given that tape data storage refuses to die, I too have to wonder why there is not optical tape. Anyway, with this paper available, my 16kbyte ZX81 RAM pack is beginning to look dated, they could print it on a large postage stamp.

I always wanted the glass screen option, once the fighting starts I just raise the screen and enjoy the peace.

barely any link layer is shared today though, hubs are dead and gone (or at least hidden in cupboards by people who think they need them for packet sniffing). MIT's solution seems eerily like a Chris Christie plan to eliminate congestion on the NJ turnpike.

These events bring up so much I don't know or had not thought about. I hear from the radio news that radar makes it pretty easy to pinpoint exactly where the missile was fired from. Whether the world will ever get two answers that agree from the various radar operators covering the area and whether they will tip their hands to exactly how much they can resolve is a different matter, but it's interesting to me that radar coverage is that good. Another thing that gives me pause for thought is just how well equipped are the crazies in this world (for various definitions of crazy). For all I know it may be damn near impossible to fly long haul without coming into the theoretical range of at least one bad guy with a good missile system.

Is that what the lyrics of "Jerusalem" are about ?

If it's in Scotland wouldn't it be space whiskey ?

That seems unlikely to me unless there are special circumstances.

I don't know, the pictures of the outside of the enterprise from "into darkness" looked pretty much like it has a thick optically corrective lens in the bridge, to make the birds of prey look bigger (they are only really 2" long, a tragedy of scale for the Klingons).

Exactly, the plane has windows in it and a pilot in it so that passengers will get in it.

See the 3D printer I'm bringing aboard works just fine.

Maybe someone else has already pointed this out, but there seems to be a lot of focus on the mobile device working and little focus on a stand-alone battery. I have a stand alone USB backup battery that I can charge my phone with and it's bigger than the phone, but it's just a battery "powering it on" just makes a blue light come on.

Presumably this means they'll want the phones to go through alone in their own tub too, that will increase the length of lines for the X ray by 30% or so.

What if you disparage someone for their choices ?
