The Koreans have fallen into a pattern. They throw a fit, act like brats, blow up something and extort aid. When their neighbors send them a check, the Great Leader disappears in his bunker for a while with some Viagra and under-aged girls and comes back out when the money runs out. The real question is who will throw him some money this time. South Korea and Japan could but they are both very tired of the Great Leader's shit. Obama could but it would damage him politically (weak spend-thrift).. Russia is in no position to. Even the Chinese are distancing themselves from their pet monster. Going nuclear would be suicidal for the NKs. They are popping devices that yield in the low kilotons. We can deliver up to 25 megatons. Even so- the DOD has contingency plans for using TAC nukes (low yield nukes) and precision munitions to barbecue large parts of NKs military, their leadership and most anything dangerous they have.without sending massive waves of fallout to China. NK is on Washington and everyone else s shit list because they already have mass stocks of chemical and bio weapons. What they do with those weapons could invite massive retaliation that could render South Korea an island. It could turn into a really ugly, genocidal war. Most ugly to NK as their 1960s military gets taken apart in detail by modern equipment of the South and their American allies. I don't know. It just might be time for this war. The North can't go on like it is. They are so backward that they don't even know how f*cked they are.

I was able to resolve this late this afternoon. The boss came clean and admitted that he was cash short until he got paid by the customer. Thankfully- it's all worked out before the lawyer stage.

I loved some of the obscure gags like: The IE key card didn't work. She had to use the Firfox card to get in. Facebook: everybody hates it but its shows you around- ie. you log into everything with it. reddit pulling the blinds on digg- all the cool kids are on reddit now and digg is a fossil trying to reinvent itself. youtube being the dumb pet that everybody loves There was a LOT of very subtle stuff like that embedded in the vid. I'm sure that I messed half of it.

Late in February I was recruited by a contractor to be part of a team to upgrade a number of stores that had been purchased by a national chain. I was offered a nice hourly rate and mileage so I went to work installing network wiring, equipment and point of sale stuff so that the new stores data systems were up to their national standard. I spent about a week working at each of three sites in rural Mississippi. I put in over 100+ hours and several thousand miles on the road. Now the company is all excuses about paying me. We cut the check. It's in the mail. Bullshit, bullshit and of course bullshit. Now what do I do? I've spent a lot on gas and expendables to make the work happen and I'm left hanging for several thousand dollars. My rear end in in a sling. I'm so broke I can't even pay attention... or start another job.

Hydrogen in space (near vacuum) is inert. Either as an ion (H+) its diatomic form H2 there is simply nothing for it to react with for combustion to occur. Yes- we need to do a lot more in space. Space (near vacuum, close to absolute zero in hard radiation) is the most common environment in the universe. Oxygen/Nitrogen rich atmosphere, between 273-300 degrees kelvin with so many average bars of atmospheric pressure is actually so strange in comparison to the rest of the universe that it makes for very poor laboratory condition with which to study the rest of the universe.

I remember reading that: the average density of space is 1 atom per 3 cubic centimeters. That's pretty close to vacuum but it is an average meaning that density will be greater in some places and less in others.. While over short distances, this makes little difference but over many light years the effects add up. One way that we see it is in the effects on the spectra of OB class stars and types of novae. Their spectra are very uniform and are often called a "standard candle" because of their uniformity. However- as their light transits light years of space, the absorption lines of interstellar gas and dust are superimposed on these spectra. It is useful in that you can tell what the gas and dust are- typically hydrogen and carbon respectively. It gives us some idea that there is a lot of matter out there that we can't see. We can only induce that it is there by indirect means.

It has been known for some time that different things can effect the speed of light: most notably gravity and gaseous matter.

The intensity of homophobic reaction is proportional to homo-erotic arousal. While our frog is not phased by the sight of a penis, those that become somewhat unhinged are coping with some sort of internal struggle with their own homo-erotic feelings.

that's leaving the solar system. Leaving the galaxy is a much bigger challenge.

Gandalf & Picard?

Oh sure- wrap the student in an iPhone, iPad and a MacBook. At several grand plus connectivity costs, who can afford that but blue-bloods?

I ain't buying until they have cleaned it up. Typically, I don't buy stuff with DRM built in and I hate stuff that has top run online using an agent like Steam.

The answer to this question is "Yes", "No" and "Maybe". Yes. There are promiscuous gay people out there. They are usually not very well adjusted and probably won't identify themselves as gay. Go out. You'll meet one. They'll tell you that they are not really gay they just want you to **** their living brainz out. Living in the bible belt, I see this sort six times a day and a dozen times on Sunday. They are really messed up because they are trying to live in several mutually exclusive worlds at once- the gay hook up scene, marriage and/or religion. When these guys crash, they crash and burn. They leave a lot of devastation behind. When they get caught doing something UN-natural with six trucker and Billy-goat at a rest stop, they destroy or damage many lives. NO. Sane gay people learned a lot of painful lessons from the HIV epidemic. I lost more friends than I want to even think about. In a way I am surrounded by a lot of ghosts. I've made myself pretty ill trying to figure out why I'm still alive and they're gone. It's a dumb ass virus. Why it kills Joe and Kevin and passes by Steve is simply a matter of probability and behavior. If you are SAFE, you probably won't be sorry. The simple truth is that our behavior really has changed a great deal in the last few decades. More and more gay people are less and less willing to settle for Mr. Right-Now.. Maybe. How exactly do you define promiscuous? Four a decade? Four a year? Four a month? Four a week? Four a day? I don't care for those sorts of value judgements. In the end, it's really nobody's business but your own. I have screwed around and not screwed around. I find that my life works best when I simply live it and quit keeping score.

I guess he does feel respected. However- prior to this season Flacco was anything but an elite quarterback. What if he returns to average?

For the first time a baby is cured of HIV http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/first-time-baby-cured-hiv030313 Doctors announce newborn was cured of HIV infection 03 March 2013 -James Withers The doctors of an HIV infected baby have announced they have cured the child. As reported by the New York Times, the infant was born in rural Mississippi (a southern US state). Antiretroviral drugs were administered approximately 30 hours after birth. This type of procedure is uncommon with newborns, but could turn into standard procedure if the case is confirmed. This is the second case of a patient cured of HIV. The first was Timothy Brown, called the 'Berlin Patient' in medical literature. The middle-aged man, who had leukemia, received a bone-marrow transplant from someone who was genetically resistant to HIV. 'For pediatrics, this is our Timothy Brown,' Dr. Deborah Persaud, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center and lead author of the report on the baby said to the New York Times. 'It’s proof of principle that we can cure HIV. infection if we can replicate this case.' The mother gave birth prematurely, in a rural hospital, in 2010. She had no medical care during the pregnancy and did not know she was HIV. Initial tests showed the child might be infected and treatment was started approximately a day later. Virus levels quickly dropped and were nearly undetectable a month later. Some researchers are skeptical, wondering if the patient actually had the virus. 'The one uncertainty is really definitive evidence that the child was indeed infected, Dr. Daniel R. Kuritzkes, chief of infectious diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, said to the newspaper. The unmanned child's physicians will report their findings tomorrow, 4 March, at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.

Already have one. Better question might be- who is considering publishing to the kindle.

Titanic was a poor design to start with and rushed through construction. Building her as an exact replica would be exceptionally foolish. If they are going to spend that kind of money, the smart thing to do is to use modern methods and do the replica where the passengers are. An exact replica would have poor steel, bad watertight compartmentalization, coal fired boilers, steerage accommodations and not nearly enough lifeboats. Fix the problems with the design. Use diesel turbine engines instead of coal. Have modern safety systems and communications. The original Titanic was a very shiny POS from an engineering standpoint.

Come on guys! Nobody wants to see the Philippines? I'd like to live in the Philippines for a while just to explore the place. They have a volcano inside of a lake inside of a volcano inside of a lake. The geek in me could spend a decade or two just looking at that trying to figure out how it happened. Not to mention the reefs of Palawan or waters so deep and clear.

Old saying: birds seldom build nests on bare trees.

This sounds like one of those stories we used to read and think: yeah right. Like that would ever happen. I am pleased to have lived long enough to see that it actually has.

I think that it is very telling that every high profile shooter was either on or recently stopped staking an SSRI medication. I have to wonder about that and why we're not talking about banning those medications.
