Because AC is a consumer standard? There are no consumer standard for DC power, other than AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V.

... Okay, and car cigarette lighters and microUSB.

I like, "We're on an express elevator to hell; going down!", better.

Aside from "Punch it", I wouldn't call these go phrases. They are one off comments that just happened to coincide with a launch attempt.

That doesn't sound like a "Go!" phrase to me. What was being launched, a hearse?

Probably the same way he gets away with trespassing, assault and battery, illegal wiretapping, stalking, unsafe operation of a motor vehicle, and a host of other illegal activities.

That's a depressingly accurate statement.

Well, there was that episode where someone drugged some wine, and everyone who drank it passed out immediately from one sip. The Doctor (Tom Baker) took two full gulps of wine, watched as everyone passed out, and stuttered out the phrase "p-p-potent stuff" before passing out himself. As far as a catch phrase, he was always offering people a jelly baby.

Still, it's not what I would call a "go!" phrase.

Summarily dismissing information because you dislike the source is like fallacious reasoning, because it is.

The USA, Germany, UK, etc. insist they are capitalist. Does that really mean they have free markets?

I guess I imagined the videos I saw that showed most of the rockets being intercepted and winking out in a flash. I can't say when the video was shot, but SOMEONE was firing at Israel (based on the Hebrew chatter of spectators) and the rockets weren't making it.

Well, considering the ruling party SED had the name "socialist" in it, I'd say he was correct.

You're European, aren't you?

Indeed. FDR was probably our most fascist president, followed very closely by Wilson. By no coincidence, they were probably the two most socialist and most "progressive". Fascism is the drug, by which socialism is the most efficacious delivery system.

Well covered by, "Engage!"

I'll be in my ready room. Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

I know it sounds vain but it does also have practical applications for people with muscular deficiencies owing to immobility. From what I've gathered, no one really knows what happens, precisely, to cause muscles to "grow". Sure, there's a hundred different theories tossed around on body building forums, but a lot of sounds more like pseudo-biological nonsense rather than real science. There's precious little experiment in the field and my lay understanding is that it is because the only method of looking at muscles is biopsy.

Similar to the suckiness of the Stratosphere and Stratosphere 2 that I was subjected to before this one, the phone's shortcomings actually raise more interesting questions â€" about why the free-market system rewards companies for pulling off miracles at the hardware level, but not for fixing software bugs that should be easy to catch.

The free market is working. You paid for a cheap phone, and you got one.
If you want a good phone, don't buy a cheap one. This doesn't mean, "don't buy a low-feature phone"-- it means, don't buy a smart phone for a dumb-phone price and expect it to work well.
