For a more in depth look into the imaginary future of mutant cyborg warfare might I suggest the Germline series by T. C. McCarthy.

Lockheed, is also very much in bed with the government. SpaceX may have a future with NASA on the budget end of the spectrum but don't expect any of the "cost is no limit" military projects to head their way. The Air force will test the waters with SpaceX just so that they can say they tried and it didn't work, thereby justifying all the money they've spent with Lockheed. It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of whose money, is going where. And you kinda have to wonder how much of the money that Lockheed gets for a launch goes right back into the pockets of the polititians that keep them alive.
Not to worry, there are thousands of open positions in the high paying field of crime going unfilled for lack of qualified applicants. I would be suprised if any would be smart enought to use this method. Besides, it doesn't mean the house is unarmed, just they don't have a handgun. For those who may be worried that someone would use this map to steal a gun, think about the fact that any "sane" gun owner keeps their weapons locked in a safe.
Or that pedophile you're housing near a school
Maybe so, but as justice Scalia has stated on numerous occasions, 'concealed weapons should be legal especially if it's like a totally bad ass maching gun being hidden under a trench coat like in the matrix'.
Devil's advocate here. For insurance/liability reasons shouldn't the car refuse to operate unless it's operating with 100% safety compliance? If it does, than it would be a manufacturer that would be liable. A car should sense when maintenence is required and, if it's prudent to, drive itself to the repair shop
Ok, so if the driver doesn't fix his car, it will be the coporation that built it's fault... hehe.. sure, and then JimBob, is going to just let his car "drive" itself to the repair shop for scheduled maintenence instead of buying beer.. ha.. I love the world you live in.. funny
Though by any logical account, countries with stricter gun control do not seem to have as many shootings in general. While it might be vague to say that video games can cause someone to have violent thoughts, it is merely acedemic to understand that without a gun you can't shoot someone.
Now while I do understand that the semantics of gun control are far more convoluted than just, "making them illegal". If you are being serious about the issue you cannot simply deny out of hand the part that the ease of this kind of killing has. Perhaps you could make an argument for legalizing mustard gas, as it is not the mustard gas that kills.. it's the person releasing the mustard gas, but it is still more difficult to kill people with mustard gas when you have none
Actually that has nothing to do with alpha. It's a method for centering an image background in a div.
I can only pray for the day I can stop putting stuff like this into my css

But since I have to even with IE9/10 because of the proliferation of the crappy ass IE's that they've produced in the past, I'm not going to be overwhelmed by the fact that they have finally started to get it right. Started I say IE10 320 vs Chrome 457.
The acknowledgement put up last week, linked from the home page by a tiny link, was deemed to be "non-compliant" with the order that the court had made in October. The court has now ordered it to correct the statement – and the judges, Lord Justice Longmore, Lord Justice Kitchin and Sir Robin Jacob, indicated that they were not pleased with Apple's failure to put a simpler statement on the site.
It appears the main objection is the statement is on a separate page and only linked from the hompage — and that the statement is buried in marketing blurb, and also put next to references to a case Apple won.
As a tmobile subscriber I thought it worth mentioning that the cost of my galaxy s2 was tacked on to my phone bill at a rate of $15/month, and only until the phone itself was paid off. Tmobile doesn't maintain the payment on the phone subsidy after the phone has been paid off. They plan I got for me and my wife was $50/month per person, for unlimited everything. That comes out to a $130/month payment.. now reduced to $100+tax. I was paying AT&T nearly $200/month for far less and I continued to pay the phone subsidy even though I had purchased my nexus one outright.
As soon as delayed people in Iran or the US start using holy books to justify wars or other idiocies, religion has lost its claim to be merely an innocent bystander.
Fixed that for you. It would be nice if people would start being more sensitive to the disabilities of others..
