Who, AFAIK and comparing their biographies, did far more for NASA recruitment?

AC should be modded up, not on the validity of the article but for recognizing this is not a black and white situation. Internet access should be placed on par with phones and electicity: Privately owned but state regulated. (And yes, states don't do perfect jobs with those two industries but it is much preferable to the oligarchy now present.)

Until we know who designed the glasses, there will be no telling just how popular they might become... If they can only capture 20% of the Mantis-3d-Glass market share, will they have failed?

Because a smartwatch was already tried, the Fossil Abacus. I owned one, and while it was cool it does indeed get pretty tiring to make sure it was recharged every night. Things may indeed change, but wristwatch companies have far more to fear from smartphones than smart watches.

Sad that parent was modded Funny and not "Painfully but Ironically True." We the People does nothing for change, it is simply an opiate for those pissed off. If I'm wrong (and I'd like to be,) name one thing that Obama has actually changed because of a petition there.

They have news segments? Every time I've watched it's been a panel of pundits yacking... Praytell when do they actually report only news and not urinate all over it with their opinions?

...would be done to the U.S. economy by having the U.S. Federal Government migrate away from Microsoft to an open-source solution.

(And please, not a Microsoft shill or apologist here - I use OpenOffice at home and enjoy it and wish I could implement it at work. I don't like the economy of the United States hinging on continued government spending, either. But OTOH, you can't tell me that ditching Microsoft wouldn't have some pretty serious economic consequences and we're in the mess we're in.)

We can all be millionaires! (And spend several deciduous forests for one peanut.)

Thank you, Douglas Adams!

Seriously, why do a majority of people think each can live "the good life" and not have to do some kind of labor for a living?

While used in the context of how an investigation begins, it really applies to any investigation step which would otherwise be fruit of the poisonous tree.

And some thought that using military troops on the border just for support activities of law enforcement was a good thing that would have no other repercussions. A better question would be: Who actually OPERATED the drones, 'cause I doubt the FBI has a special drone-operating unit. (13 uses in 8 years?) Yet.

Good. That means you can never dial me up, as I doubt your phone has a dial.

You cannot mail me, because the post on the side of the road isn't there.

And you must be jobless since you'll never be able to punch the clock.

If it is one sentence that was added. Write one sentence into whatever bill reinstating it. Easy, right politicians? Right? Hello? And also, force every bill to be created/amended in a Wiki system where edit histories are visible, so that we can clearly understood who it was that slipped the one sentence in.

Most of what MDs do is not useful without the entire medical economic structure behind them. "You've got these symptoms, which means I think you've developed this condition, and now I'll prescribe you this drug. Oh, wait, there are no drug makers making that drug, so take two Aspirin and call me in the morning. Oh, wait, Aspirin isn't available and there are no phones available." And most forms of surgery, beyond the most crude... well, let's see how well you heal without antibiotics and the other plethora of devices. Most scientists and engineers: Same category. They can't practice their professions without computers anymore. (And more essentially, electricity.) Give me an expert in medieval gymel who has primitive camping as a hobby over the most polished expert in medicine who's never eaten with an unsterilized spoon, any day of the week.

Or rather, to vaccinate or not is a decision lying at the intersection of parental rights vs. right of the general public to live in a world as disease-free as possible. It matters not why the parent doesn't feel vaccination is a proper course of action for the child. Ultimately, by force what matters is the right of the people to determine what sort of society we want to be living in.

...and then all the 1%ers, 8 year old or 60, will move on to something more challenging.

The Schwarzenneger original film I mean. Remember the nice walkway with the fluoroscopy-like corridor! We need this immediately, not just in all airports, but also subway stations, bus stations, and any place the right of freedom of travel may be present!
