This has to be the most poorly documented event of this scale. This link, for example, "first glimpse of far side...[video]", is a video of the crew inside the craft. yawn It seems like every article I've read is like this

I have a dog who likes to watch tv; he mostly likes hockey and commercials. I've never thought about coding a game for him until now. I'm thinking of remote buttons to make his favorite things appear on tv. This is going to be aw

It was a wonderful collection of rage inducing weapons: pipe bombs, laser trip mines, shrink ray (then step on them for the kill), freeze gun (any hit shatters for the kill), and the BFG. We had LAN parties and would play for hours on end w

It certainly wouldn't be equivalence, but it would be another 4 years of expanding presidential powers only for a republican to come to power after that, or after 8 years. It really doesn't matter. The system keeps changing to p

There are a lot of confounding variables. Chief among them is someone at the top just wanting to get on with their life, start a family for instance, or basically anything other than study 12 hours a day. It's hard to say it's co

> My main gripe is still Steve Jobs underpaying developers via illegal agreements. I'm blown away by Apple building their own stores in competition with the franchisees who carried them those lean years.

If you shut it down for too long and there is a lapse in reopening it, planes are grounded for an extra bit of time. If you shut it down for too short and there is a lapse in extending the grounding, planes are getting shot out of the sky (

I'm of the opinion that the teen novel has stunted literature in general. As a kid beginning to read in the 70's I jumped from what were clearly kids books to Lord of the Rings (pure chance -- I liked the cover). There wasn'

Juggling 3 is a skill that is way easier than people think until they do it. But the very next question is will be, "how many can you juggle?" as they apparently think juggling 4 is just 33% more difficult than 3.

The threshold rates for a lot of credits, deductions and exemptions are not. Like the Roth IRA is $153k for single, $242k for married. Child care credits have a similar problem if I remember correctly (or they did before my kids grew out
