For that pleasure of eating a steak, I provide a fraction of a job to a US farmer, a US rancher, a US butcher, a US truck driver, a US refrigeration specialist and a US checkout clerk, the supply chain for meat is much more constant through booms and busts and spreads the wealth effect much more than for the collection of Integrated Circuits made in china. You smugness on deciding if my lifestyle choices are good or bad for society really prove nothing but liberalism and veganism are nothing but your opinion multiplied by a political correctness that says I cant respond in a human manner. I can only conclude Vegetarianism and Veganism robs the fallowers of this cult the the fats that keep you brain sane,

Now the UN bothers imprisonment for a leader where life doesn't seem all that worth while even as the great UN. Should we threaten to cut off his internet porn, his access to former NBA players or blockade his Kentucky Bourbon imports. This regiem wouldn't surprise me as wanting to export tankers full of Soylent Green in exchange for Anime Snuff Porn.

Both are quick to pick up and in highest demands and really have zero impact if visualization keeps accelerating. 100% US English is also great to have. Christopher Hull 219 613 3785

Dixiecrats are long dead, they were the last of the Conservative Dems of 1955. They were old southerners in 1965. Their kids were 40 year old Reagan dems in 1980 and most of them are voting in their last election cycle in this decade. Tea party events are full of 40-50 year old business owners who did very well in both 1990s and 2000 because of Conservatism and ultra low taxes, but now have hit a tax bracket where 50% or more of their income goes to government largeness. We now are at the point where 50% of the population pays nothing, benefits outweigh taxes for government. No wonder controlling the debt is minor issue with both parties. Republicans desperately look for the 10% they can strip off (rural states swings) and dems sit on 90% (urban middle class independents) who are being lead to biggest economic disaster since the fall of the Roman Empire.

There is no glass door, ceiling or anything, anyplace or anywhere. You don't even have to give your real name to be involved in a project. If you cant stand working in a boys club open an account on one of a open project 100 sites, write a doc, compile and make a installer and you can be the top of the FOSS world if you its useful to 20 million people. Write the next app everyone needs, wants and uses daily and then give it away for no reward but complaints from everywhere, then perhaps be the one of hundreds of free products that make a jump to commercial success.

The whole USC has lets say 5000 statutes that mater to us all, and 50000 that are important to someone someplace. The USC is backed up by 20x the amount of federal regulation. USC will take 20 years to reform with a army of fair arbiters or take 1 year to reform the NSA with the budget process. Cut funding to the NSA to where they cannot pay the support contract with EMC to keep more than a month of global metadata on random access media and the project then has so much less teeth.

The SCOTUS has to make a big point and uphold the US Constitution prohibition against the General Warrants issued by other courts, unfortunately there is no good basic case to be made because who is the party to bring suit if VZ or Google are in bed with the NSA. Doesnt help that the General Warents are in the form of National Security Findings

3. Actually Iraq was more than ready to sign SOFA arranged per the SEC DEF at the time. Yet another failure of the charmed Clinton/Obama state department. The White House dragged its feet through the election because any troop number would have caused a loss of votes in swing states because it would state clearly that US solders bleeding for IRAQ was not over... and as of 2014 it is a fight between the same three factions as it was the day after Bagdad Bob was knocked off the air less the US/UK traffic cops.

I think we have great global coverage from the USGS in the form of seismic networks and the DOD in the form of SONAR and Early Warning from 1970 onwards making it 40 years of coverage that should pretty much cover all but the poles with at least two types 2 instruments. Still wondering why the timeframe is from only 1994... but I can guess the post test moratorium data is near 100% public.

Two tons of ore to produce a commodity worth near $80 per barrel is near nothing compared to metals. Digging that ton and transporting it say 5km, processing and putting the tailings/overburden back in the hole for less than $20 bucks seems to be the economic point where tar sands work. Midwest hasn't relied on heating oil in any significant fraction since the 70s. Natural Gas costs about 30% per BTU compared to home heating oil with a delivery point being Chicago. Also in most Midwest markets one can buy Natural Gas from about 20 different companies in a completive market where you can lock in prices through contracts for up to 3 years. As the fractions of gas vs liquids increases at western US wellheads proven reserves of Natural Gas will be available for another 200 years unless the road transportation sucks it all up in the next 100.

Is the parent comment from a NOTES Admin, Dev or AS OPERATOR? I ask because those are the only folks who ever liked Notes. The bean counters who originally put enterprises on "the notes" are long dead and their 123 spreadsheets no longer rule the world.

Err. Clancys Catapillar drive, Magnetohydrodynamic was built at at several research labs within 12 months of the release of the Book Hunt for Red October and by the time the movie was out the US Navy had something like 10 million dollars in research grants out to labs to do work when the projects got pulled back into the dark in 95.

The construction of a Gadget explains the classical machining of bomb components in exportable detail.

He was best at when giving the motivation why Ryan, Chaves and Clark would work for political hack masters and got pretty tepid and juvenile when he made Ryan a political creature. The non fiction books he wrote about everything from a Air Wing to Marine Division are total rehashes of books written by every post pentagon author except Clancy got a six figure advance.
