They had a hybrid propulsion system with 4 distinct subsystems employing different technologies. Traditional jets, aerospikes, traditional booster rocket, and a hyperspace window generator.

Didn't they start building these into F-302s back in 2002?

From the summary, I think they're talking about a random composition of smells. Perceptual neutrality is related to our brains ability to adjust to a shifting noise floor. As a Vermonter, I'm used to doing this with smell on an annual basis.

*wasn't bullying.

Even majoring in computer science, I couldn't really relate to my peers on anything academically related. It was bullying, or even really resentment (as far as I could tell). But there was a social barrier, because I couldn't convincingly participate in any conversations about "that hard test" or "hard professor", etc.

As a counterpoint to this post, most of my extended family are evangelical Christians on the right of the America political spectrum, and are uniformly more intellectual and better educated than society at large (including degrees from MIT, Dartmouth, Cornell, Princeton, Middlebury. I think Yale and Colby are on that list too, but I'm not 100% sure). On the other hand, growing up in Vermont, 90% of the people who bullied me in high school were as lefty as could be.

because nobody pays to attend a state school?

No, OS X is UNIX and Darwin is not, because Apple doesn't feel like paying for SUS certification for the benefit of all of the the two open source developers who use Darwin by itself.

I second this opinion. Works so so so well, and is quite full featured. I also use it to inventory my Lego collection (wrote a plugin to query the Peeron database instead of Amazon).

OS X isn't just derived from Unix, it *is* Unix.

well, there is this

My point was (money =) press coverage = votes. That's the only thing that distinguishes successful third party candidates from unsuccessful ones. Gary Johnson was arguably more qualified to be president than Romney OR Obama, in terms of both executive experience and ability to conduct meaningful policy discussions, and nobody paid attention. $15 or $20 million would have changed that.

Ideological typology polls show that only somewhere between 40%-60% percent of Americans fall on the traditional left/right spectrum, and that libertarians ought to have a 20% block of dedicated votes, but have appeal to both sides of the spectrum on some issues, just as the current Republican party spans the spectrum between libertarian, social conservative, neoconservative, and some centrist-like positions. I suspect there is a strong correlation between voter turnout (around 60% this year) and disenchantment with the existing parties. Which makes sense when you look at natural voting blocks based on ideological typology polls. A libertarian, or green, or other reasonably qualified 3rd party or indepedent candidate who had the campaign and fundraising apparatus to keep up would probably do quite well. Look what happened when Ross Perot entered the race.

Obama still tried to keep us there longer, and only withdraw when Iraq refused legal immunity for US troops.

You did, even if you didn't realize it.
