The idea of a Constitutional Convention subject to domination by Kochsuckers, Lobbyists and other varieties of Fundamentalists (Economic, Religious, Structural) should frighten the everloving crap out of all of us.

'befriend.' that's an awfully polite way to spell 'buy.'

Ink already costs more per fluid ounce than gold, now they wanna add actual GOLD!

Unlike which of the previous several?

Public Safety also (might) come into play.

The charity plants trees, the city contracts out tree maintenance - limited profit.

Open SW developed, released by charity, for-profit service organization ecosystem springs up to support - loads of profits to companies that contributed resources/finances to development.

I don't agree with IRS in this case, but their reasoning is approximately sound.

I'm a woman, you insensitive clod!

It's not just work.

Happy people just plain _human_ better.

Playing on FUD (and creating it if there isn't enough) is what turns people into monsters.

2 towers are enough.
With the right software, 2 antennae on one tower are enough.

Dymano? urgh. Preview only helps if you actually READ what you tpyed.

Perfect! Wrap the ship in a 33-foot water blanket, wrapped in a skin of high-strength magnets.
Now you have a water supply once you land ... except that on Mars, you still need the blanket and magnets as that planet has (relatively speaking) no magnetic field and nearly no atmosphere.

Figure out how to re-start the magnetic dymano before trying to restore an atmosphere, else the solar wind will strip it away again.
/ Earth and Venus have strong magnetopsheres, Mars does not. The gas giants are too far out and too massive to notice the wind.

This is the Detroit that didn't take Japanese brands seriously until it almost killed them.
The Detroit that needed 30+ years to bring a small, efficient, powerful engine to the US.because they knew best what American wanted (big V8s for drag racing).
The Detroit that hides the fact that Mitsubishi (Chrysler), Toyota (GM) and Mazda (Ford) built their small cars for 20-some years.
But Google is arrogant.
Right.

Err, can you math (or do I fail understandment)? 1.7*100 = 170. 1.7*10 = 17, so 10x.

Oh please! A CS degree is a license to get a coding job and nothing more (any more).
No employer is going to hire a coder who doesn't have at least 2 years in the currently fashionable language in the dominant ecosystem.

The geeks you're talking about are Computer Engineers, but if you're not a top-ranked grad from one of the top-12 schools, you're going to wind up as a codemonkey working for an accountant.

Stopped clocks, as it were.
