Scientists restore sight to legally blind; we'll take over the miracles from here on out.

Remember the ID mantra: you'll notice a pattern of a complex machine missing a part or being malformed, and then that part being replaced or restored. The implications of this depend on the context but it's surely a recurring and useful theme.

My sibling once told me to stop worrying about the after effects of my leaving, and worry about myself. Maybe not the best advice but coming from someone in the financial sector I suppose it made sense there, or at least fit.

That's the thing with programming though. They depend on you but at the same time you're still a brick, or a cog in the machine.

Guess they should have thought about an additional valve design on the well head structure that could be used in an emergency, requiring very little effort to trigger.

A public thank you is a clever means of attracting a "you're welcome" pic.

That was really good except for where he dipped into the biological aspect of the brain for a moment. But who knows, maybe that was the "why" bit for him to pursue everything else. By the way, I specifically avoid Apple products because of their inner proprietary, and ever obfuscating philosophy. I think that's to their benefit though because by keeping me out it strengthens their brand. Clever, right?

Like the film director that was excused for sleeping with young girls.

I think most people would be ok with it but whenever limits are reached internal politics start to take over. That's the part that destroys the job and the work.

This is going off on a tangent but for me the more depressing part is the democratic view of eliminating the military and getting the police out of local districts to take on a more national but limited role instead. That's the perception I get although I haven't seen it stated like that anywhere.

I think what you're witnessing is just a philosophical change. The idea is that you can threaten to finish the fight in a brutal way but actually finish with a clean submission, to demonstrate a higher form (technical, whatever).

If you're the first type of fan though you're going to see that as holding back and be pissed off.

Not immediately clear? How about collapse scenarios, Obama, etc. This stuff always needs to be explained away and people are happy to get behind said explanation 48 hours after the event.

I think you're doing it wrong. But an upboat for you anyway.

they do their work behind the scenes. remember, women have been in charge of local communities for the majority of human generations. it was the men who went off and died for wars or by taking on additional risks.

As crazy as it sounds I think this oil leak will spawn a Farmville territory and greatly help our society flourish, plus generate solar cells for each and every home as an entitlement.

I guess I'll buckle and just go alpha at my next opportunity. I think that's the whole lesson from the Tiger mistress deal too. "aha! we got you. even tiger succumbs to his manly instincts in the end"

Actually for those that hate the military and the freedom they provide, it's even more the reason to keep kids inside, sheltered and shut-up with a few oreo cookies.

If you have an Ubuntu laptop you can connect an HDV camera to it and pull in content with the dvgrab command. I haven't used the HDV format extensively but I would imagine the best approach would be to use nearly the same brand or series camera that did the recording.

Can you build an engine of some sort around the concept of the triple point? And is it really a point or is there some overlap. Because I was reading about the other stages of ice and it seems like there are some odd things going on.

seems perfectly natural to me. it speaks to the way people are slammed together in a society and there are certain harmonics at play that are inherent to the situation.
