Clearly, you have never been in the military. These kinds of things, although frowned upon by the brass, happen all the time. And you know what? That's great. It's important. You can't do a job as part of a team and have new kids mouthing off and thinking there are no consequences to their stupidity, especially when…

All swatters should be charged with attempted murder.

What's even more sad is that there are many of us in the military industrial complex that look at the A-10 as a success story. It's my favorite plane. I'd love to work on something that worked as well and which was well received by the warfighter.

In the first millennium, warmer sea surface temperatures ...

Does it show that February is going to be 10 degrees below normal in northeastern US for a second year in a row? Because my heating system wasn't designed to keep up with this for more than a day or two and I'm looking at 10 days of this. Last year it was 2 sigma outside of my February's average temps for the last…

There is not a person in the military who wouldn't walk away in disgust talking to me about things military, but I know what I've seen this plane do and heard what pilots and those who maintain them praise this plane no end. It truly looks awesome and it would seem still a VITAL component in it's role. I wrote to…

The Warthogs should be transferred to the Army ASAP, which already operates Helicopter Gunships, as the support and service of the A-10 is similar. [I know a few of you folks think it should be the Marines, but their branch will have a harder time keeping up with the Warthogs expensive care and feeding]. If the Air…

Permaculture will save the world.

You don't want to just round the corners to maximize space, you want to follow the contour of the land to maximize water. By following the contour of the land with the rows, you slow down the flow of he water and it sinks into the soil instead of running off. This also stops the erosion of the nutrients in the soil.…

not mine, he isn't. (I'm so glad these were never made into movies)

I think the reason he's not ready is really because he doesn't want Fox to get Damon Lindelof to shit all over the script and turn it into an incoherent mess that answers none of the questions it raises.

Oh I hope not. I live west of Boston, and already the thought of what it'd do to the area gives me nightmares.

Marty has said that he's going to let the citizens vote on whether or not to hold the Games here, and if that's the case I wouldn't count on it happening. Nobody that lives in Boston wants this to happen. Traffic would be a nightmare, and no one thinks the T would be able to absorb the amount of people that would show…

Eh, at this point I don't even worry. I know everyone who has my SSN, email, Address, Credit card info, etc are so fucking incompetent that it's already all long out there, and if you think otherwise you're just fooling yourself unless you're one of the extremely few people who routinely refuses to give any of this…

At this point I think we can realistically say that every American has ALL of their personal information out there for sale.

Because electricity as a utility is super cheap, right?

I don't think this is what he (Daniel Gilfillan) is trying to say about the FCC regulating content. I interpreted his post to indicate a concern over the FCC potential to decide what internet content is or is not acceptable, much like they do with Television content.

HOLY SHIT DUDE I JUST GOT TICKETS TO THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE PREMIERE WANNA GO?

Smell...that magic blue-smoke smell! Smells like...victory!

In a previous job, nearly all the office PC's were using the same model and spec of a particular graphics card, and those cards had all been produced at approximately the same time.
