Fair enough...

In all likelihood it was not the Roundup. In animals studies they inject or ingest glyphosphate directly into the animal without a statistical effect so a dog laying around probably would not be the cause. In fact the dog laying around then coming in the house where people pet the dog would end up probably get the greater exposure.

Sorry about the dog none the less

Then I think you are in the minority. Case example. I set up a set of workstations with Centos 6 and Gnome 2. Several teams of visiting scientists and engineers with Windows and Mac background (none have ever used Linux on the desktop) were immediately productive and even commented on how well the GUI was to use.

I started to "upgrade" to Centos 7 and Gnome 3 and they were lost and confused and starting getting complaints.... Intuitive things like "Why can't I just right click the application and add to the launcher?" or "where the hell is the minimize/maximize button - who in the right mind would remove that?".

See the code words here... "weather" and "earth" in the same paragraph. This is going to tick off Ted Cruz and the extreme conservative republican base.

Maybe this explains Bill O'reilly's Walter Mitty moments.

Or the eye of someone else or a priceless painting. Old memes never die they just get recycled.

Right so intelligent that he unwittingly played a part in Putin's propaganda TV show.

To implement this would require a change to the OS, file system, system utilities (ie ls, find, etc) and every content creation application out there.

And then how would one do simple things like find all $filetype within the file system. It would invariably involve a shorted acronym for the file type that is provided to system utility such as find.

And why can't malicious programs mess with the hidden file type attribute?

The file extension is soooo simple and descriptitive... why would one want to add a hidden file attribute that requires a special application to change or set it.

Obviously an advanced life form has worm holed their entire galaxy to an earlier time.

From the fine article it provides a caption to the graphic

"The bottom "slice" of the image shows the particles, while the top image shows light as a wave""

Looking at the graphic the top image is a 3-D display and the bottom just a color coded 2-D representation with topo lines. I see nothing in this displaying the wave aspect and particle aspect. Mistake?

Indeed evil will eventually turn on itself.

Well then you must have missed the speeches and questions asked of the candidates at the recent CPAC.

BTW the Afghanistan and Iraq war price tag topped 6 Trillion dollars! Wars started by the last presidency. And the same crowd is now asking for another war! And you talk about deficits... LOL.

Well there are plenty of Christians who would make that exact claim! Most Evangelical for instance will be happy to tell you the JW's are not "real" Christians.

But that is not the point here. We are not fighting a war against any of those groups and Obama position is purely strategic. You need to know your enemy and this approach strikes directly at the image ISMS has made for themselves and throws water on the ISIS tactic of eliciting a religious war and invoking the crusader and other such rubbish.

The reason for the short term memory is that for the average voter the last two wars cost them personally _nothing_ and were if anything entertainment. Now if the president came out and said we are going to mobilize again to fight ISIS and a new 2015 tax of $200/person will be levied to pay for the war you would see a change of heart in minute.
