The issue with the Clinton email server is one of transparency, not security! We are all worse off when government officials can skirt FOIA requests by filtering their own documents, regardless of your party affiliation.

Reading the opening of Clancy’s Clear and Present Danger made me want to join to Coast Guard but then I remembered I couldn’t swim. Our armed forced do so many amazing things that we never hear about. It’s great to be reminded now and then.

A hilarious movie. Funny ladies riding bikes:

Congratulations professor! That is cool.

all about codec licensing fees. that's why dvd playback sw was decoupled in win 8.

Don’t forget that some farmers are exporting California water to China, Japan, Korea in the form of alfalfa.

Wouldn’t the search for the origins of life be better served by looking for instances where building blocks become life rather than the search for the building blocks of the building blocks which can be created by so many scenarios where energy meets matter?
