'2013 First suspect indicted on DNA only evidence, no previous criminal record. New FBI program hailed a major success.'

This happens now in rape cases, to prevent the statue of limitations from running out. They will just indict the genetic material from the rape kit taken on scene.

Also, you need to lay off the caffeine.

Do you know a lot of vending machines that accept half-dollar coins (the size that is large enough for the microSD card)?

Which is of course why the movie is worse then the book, as they left out the last chapter. The 21st chapter, a number symbolic of adulthood, where Alex discovers on his own that the violence of his youth has stop being as appealing, even without external enforcement. In other words, he grows up. Thus the whole meaning of the story is changed.

I love you. No really.

The OP is in fact being asinine, but that being said I don't Drive on New Year's Eve for precisely this reason. Icy conditions and drunken revelry are a bad mix. If I am not somewhere with public transportation I just stay home. New Years is a stupid holiday anyway.

'[U]tter agreement from the vast majority of staff on how to approach the matter.' has another name. It also begins with a U. Of course, 'union' is a dirty word on slashdot, and apparently in IT in general outside of government. Which is why these people continue to be exploited.

Ha! Amateur. I had an undergrad professor who liked to say Pi ~ 10, to an order of magnitude. Estimation is a good skill to have.

I believe the correct comment here should be "Thank you Comrade Stalin for our happy childhood."

I'd do both and build my greenhouse out of semitransparent photostatics.

You are quite lucky, but unfortunately many employers/clients require a great deal of accountability. Working as I do for the NYC gov't, for instance, the very existence of consultants is a political football. Minute by minute accounting of money spent on our contracts is pretty much required, because at least half of the people we are working with are actively trying to get us fired at any point in time. Our group was recently told to be careful to clock in and out for lunch or going down to smoke because the office manager, a Dept. of Ed employee, had taken to scrutinizing the surveillance footage of the building entrance and comparing it to consultant timecards in an attempt (successful in at least two cases) to get people fired.

I think he feels it's like being on a floating base, with all the retards who couldn't hack it in sub school, along with all the chickenshit crap of basic. I gather the sub people are a great deal more laid back, especially when they are underway.

I never noticed that they particularly cared about tatoos on gaijin though, just japanese people.

Funny, my brother feels exactly the opposite. He can't imagine why anyone would be on a carrier.

Exactly. And also, I thought the name was quite clever in that it showed that the actual resource was almost beside the point. It doesn't matter what the valuable thing is, just that it is valuable. People say the plot is a cliched retelling of $historicalevent, and then congratulate themselves that they've seen though the cunning allegory, but they are missing the point. Humans have shown themselves willing to kill entire populations of our own kind for any number of resources. It is cliche precisely because it has happened again and again throughout our history.
