News Flash:

"A recent study has determined that Democrat administrations in Washington are just as bad as their Republican counterparts. There's just as much lying, corruption, scandal, debt, malfeasance and general stupidity. In fact, other than their respective logos, there appears to be no difference at all.

Film at 11."

Indeed. How would media members feel about a published database of their name, address, political affiliation and donations?

I'll bet some would argue such a response would infringe on the First Amendment, and possibly Fourth Amendment rights... of the media members (and their families). But do their rights to that protection supersede those of others?

No to Nuclear
No to Coal
No to Oil
No to Natural Gas

What does this administration think the US will use for energy in the future, magic?

If that heralded sage of technology, user experience and public reaction Sean Hollister of Verge says touchscreen laptops are a success, who am I to argue? After all, how often was Jobs right about those things? And Sean Hollister has been a tech writer for what, two weeks?

Fine. Henceforth, only beans from Ethiopia or Yemen may be called Coffee. Everything else will be relegated to "that brown s*** in hot water". I'll let the locals in Yemen and Ethiopia duke it out over the actual use of the name "Coffee".

This is just idiotic on the part of someone at the university. Perhaps the reporters should respond by limiting their articles to something roughly equivalent to 20 tweets. Most tweets are extremely short. Maybe a total of 800 characters would be sufficient. Let's see how the administration truly likes reduced coverage of their product.

Actually, the hubris is armchair techies on Slashdot masquerading as seismologists, geologists, etc. I can only that hope no one would seriously consider making policy or law based on the kind of shoddy, back of an envelope, pseudo-analysis as goes on in this forum on an hourly basis.

Rather than nuclear or coal power, why don't we all tilt at windmills or solar. Obviously those solutions are ready, cost-effective and totally hazard-free!!

Really? What has diplomacy EVER solved?

Does it seem to you that a jacka** such as Assad is going to pay any attention to "Stop, or we'll say stop again!"? Show me one instance where it's made ANY difference.

Not to worry. Obama has decided to kill any and all manned space exploration. Yes we Can't!

That notwithstanding, we're a lot more than 20 years away from being able to do anything like the USS Enterprise. It's strictly sci-fi for now.

Well this simply won't do. This is what happens when the lemmings go off their meds and start thinking for themselves. We simply can't have the likes of you questioning the order of things. No siree, bob.

Now, off to re-education camp with you!

Really? In the States we call that ObamaCare (or RomneyCare if you're in MA).

You're assuming my interpretation. The AC said he never espoused any support for ID. That was not factually correct. Further, Einstein actually derided anthropomorphic religion. Try actually reading what he said rather than jumping to your own conclusions.

Stop trying to put words in someone else's mouth.

Nice try, but no. There have been plenty of theories which have been postulated well in advance of any technical ability to test them being even on the horizon. In fact, we're STILL trying to prove some of Einstein's theories. Perhaps you've heard of Gravity Probe-B?

GP-B was designed to measure two key predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity by monitoring the orientations of ultra-sensitive gyroscopes relative to a distant guide star.
