its all about perspective. you say you make 50k a year, the average american makes 40k. i'm assuming you live in a major metro area and are young. If you had the same amount of money and were in a lower cost of living area with a family 70 isn't a shirt, it is a week's worth of food from the grocery store.

a few points:

how about letting us drive one of the mining robots remotely?

yes, although if it is a warm weather climate the road will simply get under the road surface. after a while it will find a way out (through fishers in the ground or the road itself). As it goes and and drains out it will slowly erode the material it rubs against.

look at things like Fast and Furious, which is a clear issue and should be investigated (shoudl it lead to contempt for the AG? probably not but that is the analysis pushing for it). the fact that we were selling guns to cartels and not tracking them adequately is a huge story and no one else covered it.

thats what i mean though, if you read an article on an event on fox news the facts are all there, and from time to time they will be presented better with more clarify than other news networks. however the commentary on those facts, and the analysis that follows are garabge

they've had this on the tapanzee bridge in NY for several years. although the thing they use to move htem from one lane to the other is bigger

this kind of research has no restrictions on funding so regardless of what some people might think the controversy which mattered (the cutting of funds to some research) doesn't effect this

FYI Fox news actually does good reporting work, just like Aljazeera. They both fail misreably in the editorial and opinion sections though where they are completely biased (and in my opinion wrong).

i don't care what ignorant southerners think, they are on the wrong side of history on nearly every issue and time will show them the error of their ways (the same way Jim Crow is now universally regarded as unfair and wrong).

in all fairness, making adult stem cells took nearly a decade to figure out. In that decade, the lack of funding for fetal stemcells means that we lost a decade of research on manipulating stem cells because we didn't have enough to experiment on. If that funding hadn't been blocked then the advances from fetal stem

i don't think that plane is fit to fly any more. i doubt it is intended to bend but it probaly is intended not to fail in extreme circumsatnces, which in this case reuslted in it bending.

no one is against this research. The stem cells here came from skin cells which is completely non controversial and gets full funding here.

pay the 200 for cancelling your contract and sign a new one?

i don't really care either way, i just get irked by people that label government spending as wasteful without considering ancillary benefits

seems similar

wasn't the lumia free?

last time i checked there are a lot of features that are avaiable on 4S that aren't available on 4 (siri comes to mind)

Here is a link to an article that someone posted below, [www.militaryaerospace.com] , showing a man portable device that came directly out of JRTS as the original project requested.

you labled the project a 'boondoggle' without any clear rational other then the fact that some brief article said it didn't work out without analyzing how many of the program's goals were achieved or how the program helped other projects. I'm saying that your characterisation is oversimplified and shows a bias toward
