East. Now in space.
It has always been in space, it is the rotational direction where the sun rises.

This reminds me of the cases where they used Curare for anesthesia. Turns out all it was doing was paralyzing the motor systems so the still fully conscious patients couldn't scream or otherwise react as the surgeons operated.
Might be a good idea to ask the octopuses afterwards if they remember from during the anesthetized time period. This can be done and would find out if they're really out cold or if they're just locked in.
Actually that would require two of the three drugs to fail. They give or gave one to paralyze you, one to kill pain and one to shut off short term memory. The scary part was that sometimes the painkiller failed, so the patiant would be awake fealing pain, but they would not remember it afterwards unless the memory drug also failed.
none of that has anything to do with our spending on roads, we have a spending problem to begin with. we would have plenty of money to fix our roads if we stopped spending it on social programs and wars and went back to the basics.
Ha, no! If you cut down on social programs you would have less money as more people would fall into inescapable poverty and be unable to contribute to your society...
... a former police officer has been dragged into court by the U.S. Department of Justice for teaching people how to beat a pseudoscientific method of detecting whether somebody is lying, a method that itself isn't even admissible as evidence courts in most parts of the world? What's next? Will the surgeon general drag people into court for pointing out that when consuming a homeopathic remedy with 30C dilution, one would need to swallow a volume greater than all the water present in all the oceans of our entire planet in order to stand a good chance of swallowing just one molecule of the original substance?
He entered into a conspiracy to lie to government investigators.
Here I thought he was teaching people how to see through the lies of government investigators.
From the indictment: "trained an individual posing as a federal law enforcement officer to lie and conceal involvement in criminal activity from an internal agency investigation"
Since polygraphs are not working, the investigators claim they do, and the only effect they have is if people believe in them.
So they are useful, a prop of intimidation. Belief trumps reality. If a subject is tricked into honesty or tricked into avoiding circumstances where they will face a polygraph its a win from the government's perspective.
Another prop could be police brutalitu, are you pro that too, or are your fascist tendencies limited to quack science?
but many people in the world need basic services like toilets a lot more than they need electronics.
You would be surprised. After the earthquake in Haiti one of the main problems ended up being setting up electronic infrastructure for all the other workers coming in rebuilding and treating victims. Everybody send doctors and construction workers, but it became a real mess when noone send computer experts to set up internet and cellphone infrastructure for the doctors, engineers, construction workers and not least thousands of journalists to use.

There is no downside to lower gas prices. lower prices on anything is always a positive.
There is no downsides to crumpling roads causing lower speed limits and bridges collapsing taking lives, lower taxes is always a positive, right?
That's why you don't see AMD chips on laptop anymore. Soon they'll be out of PC market too.
It seems to me AMD is as common in laptops as they have ever been. Not very.
Those two statements are not mutually exclusive.
Not in the theory, but in this case Denmark is currently a net exporter of fossil fuel based electricity, and a net importer of hydro-electric and nuclear power. That would change with these news though, or simply an issue that needs to be addressed as Denmark neighbours no longer can import peak-hour dirty power from Denmark.
Aptitude dude!
Not for upgrades.. I don't have 48 hours to let it resolve conflicts and dependencies apt-get can resolve in 48 milliseconds. Especially not when it does a worse job.
That is just retarded. Non-white immigrants and descendants of immigrants only make up 300,000 people in Denmark, or short of 6% of the population, and hasn't been raising since the immigration laws were tighten in the late 90s, and since then they have gone from tight to being outright silly, and no major political party is seriously trying to bring them back to sanity let alone the immigrant positive levels of the 20th century.
Somehow this fact has escaped the nationalist right wing, who rose to power to oppose the immigration policies of the 70-90s, but then admitting they already won would mean shuting down..
Base load is not even as hard as peak load. Sweden for instance has solved base load using nuclear and regenerative hydro power, but they still have to import coal power from Denmark for peak load. Denmark switching from coal will also mean Sweden has a problem, or will have to import from Poland where the coal plant are less efficient and polutes more than the Danish ones.
Is that parody or is that news? I cannot believe that one-sided, war-mongering, short-sighted propaganda piece is called 'News'.
Personally I'm in great anticipation of the upcoming flag day, when some particularly onerous climate-change related events (e.g. the permanent evacuation of Miami, or perhaps just food shortages due to widespread crop failures) occur, and Fox News shifts seamlessly from denying the existence of global warming to blaming the Democrats for not having done enough to prevent it. Good times.
They don't need to shift. Fox News is perfectly capable of denying it exists, blaming the Democrats for it, and blaming the Democrats for not doing enough about it, all the same time from the same speaking head. That wouldn't even be anything unusual, we call that day Tuesday.
One downside of the A+ is that it still has only a single USB 2 connector.
There are two down sides worth noting. That's one of them; have they got USB figured out yet? Just one port is bad enough but if they bugger the polyfuses again... But the real problem is the RAM. 512MB is cramped. 256MB is unacceptable.
A modern standard ARMv7 instead of the odd ARMv6 would be greatly appreciated too.
Triton was a Kuiper belt object. Now it's not.
How long must the discrimination go on? Surely a billion years is enough to qualify for Neptunian citizenship?
The problem is Neptune is in the Kuiper belt, but it is a real planet, a colonist if you like, orbitted by a native.
