I'm not trying to point a finger or anything, but if you want it brought back, there's only one way for it to happen. People need to call their Representatives and Senators and urge them to support measures to bring the OTA back. It won't happen any other way.

I'd say it has worked out exactly as he intended. Muddy the scientific waters at the Congressional level and everyone can then point to their own "experts" to support their favored positions.

I have to disagree. Unless someone is playing on 'Easy' or 'Normal' there's no way to find enough ammo to make this a cover-shooter. Just about every encounter is typically staged to make the gun your weapon of last resort. Although there are a few encounters that require firepower, they're spaced out in the overall…

there's a new one they've been showing on episodes lately. I'm not sure of its name, but it's a full spoof of Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets.

I agree. I live in the area served by the Orange County Water District, so I've been drinking the reclaimed water for a while now. There's really no need to even think of it as wastewater once it's been fully processed and put back into the aquifers. But it does remain a psychological boundary that needs to be…

I hope Dr. Bales goes more in-depth regarding your question, but yes, Orange County, CA does have a wastewater reclamation project both for irrigation and drinking water. Here's info about the drinking water program that has been in place for a number of years.

I'm with you. I don't understand the need to shit on either state. I grew up in Orange County, spent a few years in McKinney, TX, am back in Orange County now, and looks like we might be back in McKinney again with this news. I'm not thrilled about this, but if we DO choose to go, we know it's a great place to live,…

The rumor started spreading late last week, but no one has been told officially. As to whether we'll go or not, I can't say.

gah! I look at that picture and I wonder how she's even standing

reputable source please.

I'd have to agree - between ANH and ESB, based purely on the blue lightsaber.

True, but if one of the artist's main points is the temporary nature of the art itself, doesn't it become self-defeating to take a photo of the art in question?

Man, that's nuts. Glad that aspect of things was handled sanely. Has anything come of the identity thief/sex offender? I'd hate to think someone was out there continuing to use pieces of your identity.

That may be so. But that's no reason to drag the guy's reputation through the shit. Take the extra hour to talk to him and confirm the identities of his children. Then go back to the office and thank god you didn't charge an innocent man of something which, considering the high profile of college football coaching,…

visions of TV cameras and political ambitions in his (or her) head.

In a rational world, about an hour. 5 minutes to sit down and ask "who are these kids in these pictures?" and another 45 minutes for someone (a cop or detective or whatever) to go to the guy's home and radio back "Youbetcha, those are his kids alright".

You probably thought calling people "luddites" was clever. How trite.

Wat? In the Nickelodeon show, April's dad was mutated into a giant bat-thing. Splinter is the mutated form of Hamato Yoshi.

I wish I knew that before I posted! I'll ask my son when I get home tonight.

I'm curious if an object this size did (or could have) affect the earth's orbit. I freely admit to being spectacularly bad at math and thus can't figure it out on my own.
