Yea but you are always flying AWAY from Bush International, much like you would be fleeing from an oppressor. I think it fits!

I better be sensing some sarcasm!

My middle name is Franklin!

You make a great point, but the key here is that I am talking about addictive behavior (whether physically or psychologically), not casual use, and how both can cause harm in sufficient quantities. Just as the person who drinks two or three times a month will not be negatively impacted by alcohol, the person that…

Haha, I like it!

Good 'ol checks and balances. I don't support Big Tobacco, nor do I even smoke, but cigarettes always seem to get the short-end of the stick, even though other vices such as alcohol get a pass. The federal government has tried to do everything short of making cigarettes illegal (which would be the worst idea ever) and…

If the tent is a-swayin', don't come a-(insert word below)!

A deceptively large amount of freight still travels via railroad, but the problem is that you still have to get the freight from the rail to the store. Freight isn't going anywhere, but I know that here in Texas Perry once talked about a trans-Texas corridor with dedicated freight lanes.

1) I can't imagine the problems we would have today if we had not updated roads since 1861 and 2) I also can't imaging having to take 15 bucks in change with me every time I wanted to drive to work, which is what will happen if roads are privatized (e.g. toll roads).

This. The article fails to take into account the state's responsibilities for a majority of roads in their respective state.

A vast majority of roadways are maintained by the state in which they reside, especially roads that are not interstate highways.

It's not that he revealed the security flaw, it's the method in which he revealed the security flaw. It'd be as if someone made an app that contained a virus that could disable a phone, snuck it through App Store scrutiny, and then demonstrated it as opposed to saying "Hey Apple, I noticed that if X got through your…

In statistics, we have this idea of statistical power, which is the minimum amount of participants or "N" required to reach a certain statistical power and it roughly translates to about 20 participants per condition to reach statistical power. It's a well-known rule in quantitative psychology and research methods…

Actually, a difference of 13% with a small sample size is an indicator of a large effect. You would see the difference between the two groups increase as the sample size increased. Also, 432 is not a small sample size, especially considering the thing they are studying.

I have a cousin named Benjamin, do I get a discount?

Very true, $10-20 would be too cheap, but $150 is a month's worth of bills for me, and definitely not for someone "on a budget".

Perfect example. I remember my HS English teacher telling us that a poem about a train going through a tunnel was about sex. She found sex in every single thing we read. What is it about HS English teachers that make them so damned horny?!

To address the convenience issue of a credit union, there are a lot of CU's that are confederated with one another meaning they are separate CUs but they are part of a larger network meaning you can walk into any associated CU just as if it was the branch of a bank. Something to keep into consideration when switching.

I think we are just making patterns out of random shapes here, much like we do in real clouds. On a related note, I wonder if Shakespeare meant to use write the Twilight of his time with Romeo and Juliet and we read in all the rest of the stuff.

Would you buy an original Nook color if the new one was only $50 more? Exactly.
