The mistake we made (and continue to make) with Al-Qaeda is that we did treat them like murderers. We captured them, gave them lawyers, rights, etc. They should have been and should be exterminated on the spot. Pissing on the bodies optional.

Wars seldom end through peaceful negotiations. They end because one side completely and utterly destroys the other.

I'd be happy if those fuckers just stopped overselling their bandwidth. I pay for the bandwidth but many times I get squat because everyone else is on the neighborhood cable loop. If the sell it, they need to be able to support it 24/7. This airline approach is bullshit.

Australia has a great garbage disposal system right off their west coast. Just toss these fuckers into the sea and the Great Whites will make them disappear.

All you have to worry about is PETA getting upset over feeding toxic wastes to the sharks.

Ha!

Most likely not.

And very nice roads to run your Mustang on. Watch out for cows though!

I did say "small". :-)

Well, $80k will get you a pretty decent small RV, which I could drive to work!

For $80k, I'll just get that...or a small house.

No mention of Penny's Tits.

Useless.

Yep.

The last thing you need is all this shit hooked up to some site on the internet. If they were smart, they would deliberately design it so it can't get to the internet. Because you know some dickhead will break in and wreak havoc and then claim they were just trying to expose weak security or some other bullshit like that.

So, in other words, a professional work environment where you work on something that is essential to the economy.

Making web pages, cool widgets, etc may be fun, but there is and always will be a need for people to maintain the systems essential to running the economy.

If you think that working on "systems which have undergone years of maintenance by probably dozens of different developers", try doing that on something written in C or and of the other Alphabet languages.

I thought the Dragon vessel was well on its way to being man-rated, or, certified. I haven't heard/seen anything from Boeing at all.

Perhaps Politics plays a bigger role than innovation and even costs?

I get better gas mileage when I'm driving South because it's downhill.

I think one thing is clear. All these studies are way to focused and fine grained. They look at micro aspects of the climate and then try to apply the observations to a system that is many orders or magnitudes larger.

It's like examining 1" square sections of the Sistine Chapel paintings and then trying to predict the color in the next 1" square based on the color in the current square. Hit and miss, misleading successes and baffling failures because you don't understand the totality of the entire painting.

So the view of the other single wide mobile homes and the washer dryer sets in the front "yard" will be obscured?

  Nevada, for the most part, is dirt and weeds.
