If governments would stop making terrorism so incredibly effective then maybe people would stop doing it.

Although it's never happened before, theoretically a white civil rights group could exist and be an actual non-racist civil rights group rather than just another thinly veiled hate group.

It would just be the most unnecessary and probably idle civil rights group that ever existed.

Huh? Production of heat in the atmosphere would have very little effect compared to augmenting the atmosphere's ability to retain heat. Your hypothetical scenario would more likely solve the problem of global warming instantly.

It might work for a battery-powered camcorder if it can visually pick up the hum from indoor lighting.

So what's stopping space itself from contracting that fast, ie reducing the distance between two points?

TFA said nothing of his religion, and the guy didn't look Arabic. So WTF does the tenets of Islam have to do with it?

I'm offtopic here (wish the 'no bonus' buttons worked), but I just wanted to say that you fellows have my thanks. IMO you're the most important of all city employees, and I say that as the son of a retired lineman that worked for CWLP (the city owns the electric company here). I've had need of paramedics more than once and you fellows do great work. Thank you.

And you're right about perception, one bad apple does spoil the whole barrel.

Of course it can, and it doesn't need a supercomputer. A competent programmer could do it with a 386.

And very useless. The only thing crappier than the payload of a quadcopter is its range while carrying a full payload.

I hadn't heard about it either. Need to get a download started before I go back to work...

Wow... (head asplodes)

Yes, I have said that before but never expected to be quoted. I'd thank you if I thought you'd see the response, AC.

At our office we use software hardware. It really saves on the hardware hardware costs.

I couldn't agree more.

That is wrong. republicans and democrats are two members of the same team.

Pretty much, yes. They trade sides often.

I'm friending almost everybody that is not a spammer, which is a dwindling part of the population here, to pick out their journals from the cesspool

A bit of advice: if you're following journals check their user history and only friend those who journal; slashdot has a 200 friend limit that they raise to 400 if you're a subscriber. Once you hit the limit it's hard to impossible to do anything at all to your friends list. I'd have done that if I had any idea that I'd have more than 400 "fans" (some anonymous soul bought me a subscription when I hit 200).

Few users seem to journal.
