Especially when they're racist and call themselves patriots.

I actually was surprised when I read about this in the NY Times yesterday. How can you in this day and age not think that something like that will be discovered? You must have a fundamental misunderstanding of both what your service is and what media is. At any rate, the man is despicable and stupid.

Admiral Allen sounds like a durty God hatin' librul to me. BP is a corporation and everyone knows Jesus would have loved corporations. After all, he hung out with prostitutes himself, and what are corporations today if not the contemporary equivalent?

Quantum teleportation has achieved a new milestone or, should we say, a new ten-milestone: scientists have recently had success teleporting information between photons over a free space distance of nearly ten miles, an unprecedented length. The researchers who have accomplished this feat note that this brings us closer to communicating information without needing a traditional signal, and that the ten miles they have reached could span the distance between the surface of the earth and space.
As we've explained before, "quantum teleportation" is quite different from how many people imagine teleportation to work. Rather than picking one thing up and placing it somewhere else, quantum teleportation involves entangling two things, like photons or ions, and then moving the quantum state from one to the other.
When one of the items is sent a distance away, entanglement ensures that changing the state of one causes the other to change as well, allowing the teleportation of information, if not matter. However, the distance particles can be from each other has been limited so far to a number of meters.
Teleportation over distances of a few hundred meters has previously only been accomplished with the photons traveling in fiber channels to help preserve their state. In this particular experiment, researchers maximally entangled two photons using both spatial and polarization modes and sent the one with higher energy through a ten-mile-long free space channel. They found that the distant photon was still able to respond to changes in state of the photon they held onto even at this unprecedented distance.
However, the long-distance teleportation of a photon is only a small step towards developing applications for the procedure. While photons are good at transmitting information, they are not as good as ions at allowing manipulation, an advancement we'd need for encryption. Researchers were also able to maintain the fidelity of the long-distance teleportation at 89 percent— decent enough for information, but still dangerous for the whole-body human teleportation that we're all looking forward to.

I think you are my VJ hero today, Johnny.
For the love of god, yes. The level of unabashed f^cktardedness seems to be rising on a nearly daily basis. Even if giving a "-1" gave pleasure only to the one who doled it out, it would be deeply satisfying.
Campaign to Bring Back the "-1" rating starts NOW.
Edit to add: And while we're at it, bring back rebeccajo, who I believe was a completely self-contained "-1" system unto herself.
Edit to add redux: Fixx0red atrocious grammar in the addendum; I got the case all wrong. Oh, the shame.

EOM

Yes, they do. Welcome to the United States.
Not just sidewalks, either. Many years ago, my supervisor at a work-study job in college, told me that in "real America", there were no paved parking lots, people parked their cars on the dirt and on gravel. I was only 18 but at that moment, it dawned on me. I worked for a freak.

Didn't he bust a hotel telephone because of his hot temper? I'd like to see him and Mel Gibson locked in a cell together with a bottle of gin.

mute when they mean moot... my principal did that

You spend a lot of time needlessly interacting with people here on VJ. I don't think you hate people at all, I think most people you know hate you.

Sell your SUV, sell your dog and take the bus to LA. Stay with a friend for a few weeks till you get your first paycheck. That's how you do it.

VJ wasn't like that when I was a newbie. In a way, this site has become a victim of its own success. With too many posters comes too much noise, and with too much noise, anything good and helpful tends to get drowned out.
Good luck with your visajourney. Grow a thick skin, and learn to wade through the ѕhit to find the gold. It's still there, ya just gotta look harder (and longer) now than I ever did.

BY your posts amount to repeating yourself and the same talking points ad infinitum.
In any case, how many subjects is this thread about. So far you've gone off about the Conservatives being "lib yanks", CCTV surveillance preventing crime (sans evidence), you personal issues with me and now UK economic reform.
I think everyone has had enough of your dancing about. You're like a schizophrenic on speed.

Der is fire in d cylindas

"Only natural" if you have the cultural literacy of a plastic salad fork.

There is no expectation that you should know and understand the laws of a different state. That is pure bullsh!t. There are certain laws that are universal, but you are inane if you think that everyone should know the laws regarding public spitting in Anderson County, S.C.
Miranda wasn't created to protect the rights of those who should know. It was written to protect those who don't know all their rights. Saying someone should have a full comprehension of each and every right they have as a citizen, or as a tourist from another country is insane. You sould like a university of phoenix law school dropout when you suggest that everyone should be as educated as to the law as you are.

Cheap people FTW!

I'm cheap too. Many of my jeans are Old Navy jeans and I got them the day after Thanksgiving when they put all the jeans for $15!! One of them is usually 34.99. I love a DEAL!! I have gotten jeans for even less on clearance racks, they hold up for years no problem. One of my current favorites I got for $8 on clearance at Target.

I only buy jeans for $20-$25 - Old Navy, Marshalls, TJ Maxx. (see previous post about being cheap)

BTW - if there is no longer a hefty cost burden to anyone wishing to sell narcotics, this drives the price down and puts those Mexican cartels right out of business. It also means we in the US no longer spend gazillions of dollars hunting them down and putting every college kid who was stupid enough to get caught in jail. Instead, we can use those dollars to treat drug use as a medical problem. Sounds good to me.
Of course, I shudder to think what those Mexican cartels, flush with cash and weaponry from a long and successful (for them) war on drugs does with their assets. Deploy them against the Mexican state, I imagine. Sucks for them.
