I'm pretty sure the Federal Aviation Administration hates America.
If you're human, you've been disappointed.
Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Mercenaries used to be cool. Soldiers of Fortune. Men of Opportunity. Bounty Hunters. Spike Spiegel. Jayne Cobb. Boba Fett. But recently, mercenaries - in the form of an organization called Blackwater - have lost some of their sheen.
I'm not very good at first impressions.
You ever have one of those days that starts out poorly, and ends up like a Calvin and Hobbes red wagon ride down a mountain? The kind of day that makes you wish you hadn't woken up that morning. The kind of day that encourages a desire to take a few sleeping pills and give life another shot once everyone has forgotten anything happened at all. Notre Dame likes to call them Saturdays.""
I am not a fan of centipedes. No. Not a fan at all.
One of the most pressing problems facing upperclassmen today - along with graduating, procuring basketball tickets and finding a job - is the issue of bar strategy. Sure, previous generations have refined and revised the subtle and often beautiful art of the drunken hookup, but with the passing of time comes the necessity for new strategies, advice and ideas.
Since I have my e-mail address visible on many sites throughout the giant series of tubes that is the Internet, I receive a lot of spam. The headers of the message are generally randomly generated to bypass spam filters and range from the confusing ""As in the days of yore"" to the nonsensical ""of my arm around you Don't you Dare gO"". And then, of course, there's the direct: ""BUY V1@GRA!"" Recently, however, I got an unsolicited advertisement for a new kind of pill designed to boost your intellect, powers of comprehension, concentration, and if you're really lucky, it'll increase your penis/bust size as well.
Unscrew the cases of two desktop computers, one from the present day, one from the 1980s. Inside, you'll find little has changed. Black microchips with tiny letters printed upon them soldered to a green circuit board. Hundreds of small wires on the board connect the chips to each other and to other components such as capacitors and voltage regulators. Other circuit boards with more black chips plug into wide slots on the main board. Cables run from plugs on the circuit boards to other pieces of hardware like CD drives. Small fans are attached to the case and to critical components to prevent overheating. And, at least on the ‘80s-era computer, a thick layer of dust covering everything.
Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a 5-4 ruling on Massachusetts v. EPA that was widely seen as a judicial rebuke to the Bush administration's global warming policies. The case, brought forward by 12 states and 13 environmental groups in 1999, argued that the Environmental Protection Agency had failed to fulfill the responsibility given to it by the Clean Air Act of 1963 by failing to regulate greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide.
In every person's life, there are important decisions to make. Shall I stay at the party and hook up with that chick who's been eyeing me all night, or shall I go home to my waiting girlfriend? Shall I inject the experimental group with 0.1 M solution or 3 M solution? Would I rather spend my entire life within a vertical range of a few miles, or would I like to go to space?
I've been on an Apple binge lately. What with the ubiquitous iPod, the (soon-to-be ubiquitous) iPhone, Apple's transition to Intel processors and Steve Jobs' style of presenting cool stuff, it's easy to get wrapped up in the cool side of modern computing. So to what does Jobs attribute Apple's success in recent years? Simple user interfaces.
Aman walks into a bar, hoping to find a potential partner for the evening. When he orders a beer, he notices that most of the women around are below his standards, and decides to wait out the evening to see what develops. As the hours go by, the bar fills up with a haze of cigarette smoke, and our man has several pints come and go. He looks up, and does a double take. Suddenly, everyone in the room is incredibly attractive! He marvels at the beautiful examples of the feminine form surrounding him as the effect of ""beer goggles"" claims another victim.
In case you've been living under a rock, Wednesday is Valentine's Day. People I know tend to have widely varying views of Valentine's Day that are rather correlated to their relationship status: Those with a partner enjoy the chance to celebrate their affection, while those without often curse all of the couples around them.
Scientists are known for giving rather ridiculously long names for rather simple concepts. Teenagers don't have acne. They have facial pilosebaceous skin lesions. Did your grandfather die from an acute myocardial infarction, or a simple heart attack? Was the Chernobyl disaster a simple explosion? Or was it a criticality accident that caused a power excursion?
NASA had a good week. It isn't often that any government agency or private corporation reveals two potentially landmark events in the same year, let alone the same week.
""I'm trying to solve the problem as to whether it is possible to get comfortable rooms at a reasonable price.""
News flash! It's the holiday season! At least, the conglomerations of retailers, manufacturers and marketers have decided that it is holiday season, and whether we like it or not they are going to do everything they can to convince us to give them money! The big ticket items, as always, are the consumer electronics. TVs, PDAs, MP3 players and, this year, new seventh-generation (yeah, we've been through that many) video game consoles. In order to either A) surreptitiously advance the schemes of marketers or B) undermine them from below, I've compiled a short list of the major offerings this year, along with some cynical and possibly useful commentary.
Microsoft recently released the newest version of its web browser, Internet Explorer 7, and is revving up of the newest release of the single most popular operating system in the world: Windows Vista. Years in the making, both software packages promise to deliver a new level of security and reliability to John Q. Public's computer experience, compared to the vulnerabilities of Windows XP.
