[Long or Short Capital] Long or Short Capital » Henchmen Assets: A Look Into the Fortress ...: We don’t know how many arch villains go undetected by MI6, CTU, or the JLA, and therefore we don’t know how many henchmen live peaceful lives and eventually retire on a pension (to become, presumably, penchmen). Methodologically, what you’ve done is the equivalent of deciding that all marriages are unhappy, based on a sample of husbands who murder their wives.

The rods are withdrawn or inserted to control the heat generated by the core, and the reactor can be operated at various speeds by manipulating the rods.

[Political Animal] Where's My Flying Car - The Washington Monthly: Feynman's 'There's room at the bottom' hypothesis has become reality, the changes that this has caused are real and continuing-- changes that weren't 'flying car' stuff, but still a big deal. And the changes aren't just due to computers on people's desks-- don't forget communications-- ordinary people now have access to bandwidths that no one would have anticipated in 1958.

[Bathos] eloiselovelace: Matching-Muff Matrimony - a Pansy/Ginny novella: Ginny most definitely had not known that on this evening, Harry had,with the assistance of Ron and Hermione, finally succeeded in findingand destroying an ancient and valuable compendium of dodgy erotica that hadeither belonged to, or possibly been penned by, Rowena Ravenclaw. This was not because Harry was on some kind of puritanical mission to rid the world of medievalsmut of middling quality, even though he had found particular passagesin Chapter 11 to be a bit distasteful, but rather, because itrepresented the very last of the Horcruxes, and its destruction, afterHermione had carefully copied down particularly juicy bits for posterity,reduced Voldemort to his mortal coil again.

Granted we will have a decline in the mass consumer economy as we move back to big iron work to keep the industrial farming practices in place.

[MetaFilter] How to reduce global warming? Block out the sun. | MetaFilter: Reductions in emissions are essential (and with peak oil and all that, perhaps inevitable) but even if the right post-Kyoto decisions are made, many predictive models suggest that warming caused by greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere will fuck us up pretty badly. If they turn out to be correct, maybe some corrective measure to reflect solar input may be necessary;

[Television Tropes & Idioms - Recent Changes] Reed Richards Is Useless - Television Tropes & Idioms: Explored briefly in one of the recent comic arcs, Bruce learns that Kord Industries, which he had been using to develop his equipment, was bought out by european investors who fired Bruce from the board of directors. Bruce explained to Alfred that while he has enough supplies for a while, it means that the equipment stored at Kord will either be released in the public sector, or kept in the hands of government agencies and whatever less-than-noble person who can get access.

[Blog about flowers] Blog about flowers » Flowers Direct: Good choices for you include lilyturf (Ophiopogon planiscapus Nigrescens), known for its grass-like black leaves in the summer, lilac flowers and black fruits, providing stunning colour contrast with the annual Scotch marigold (calendula), with its dark orange, daisy-like flowers, which needs full sun to be at its best. A Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) such as Bloodgood may also feature in the sultry personality’s garden scheme, with its deep red leaves which turn a brilliant red in the autumn.

[Whedonesque | a weblog about Joss Whedon] Whedonesque : Comments on 18903 : (SPOILER) For the discussion of ...: Vampires PR story goes, it just got introduced one issue ago (aside from the US government apparently believing Slayers to be like terrorists in the first Season 8 arc), give it a few issues. I wasn't real big on the Harmony issue either (I liked the new slayer and thought her death and the reaction to it was well-played, which was probably the main point of the issue and the rest of it was just frivolous window dressing, so maybe it worked, but it's unfortunate I couldn't enjoy the rest of it).

[FirstShowing.net] Top 12 Movies in History That Were Ahead of Their Time ...: Let's see, 5th Element sucked, T2 was not groundbreaking, Starship Troopers is questionable (spider-bugs were cool, but not groundbreaking), and so is War Games (oh, neat, a kid hacker). You left out Blade Runner (this is inexcusable based on sophisticated plot alone - what does it mean to be human in a world immersed in technology and cultural decay), Dune (transnational conglomerates and patriarchical nation-states warring over limited resources - reminds me of some current event that I can't remember off hand), Hesse's Steppenwolf (issues of personal alienation and psychic integrity in a schizophrenic industrialized world).

[New Scientist - From the Publisher] New Scientist - From the Publisher: Emdrive on trial - New Scientist: We realize you will never buy New Scientist again and will shun it forever (though you seem to have trouble staying away from this blog). We comprehend that you have a self-appointed mission to expose Shawyer as a fraud (though we're perplexed that you haven't done anything as obvious as gather the signatures of some leading scientists - I'm thinking of the likes of Stephen Hawkin (Cambridge), David Gross (University of California, Santa Barbara) or Vitaly Ginzburg (Lebedev Physical Institute) - to co-author a letter to The Age in Oz, Times in UK and NY Times here in the US, not to expose the 'silliness' of Shawyer's science but to expose the crime of how fraudaulent science can siphon off public funds that might properly be spent on real academic research.

[Charlie's Diary] Charlie's Diary: Let's put the future behind us: (It takes time to sell and I'm still opening new markets, which is why I don't have a definitive figure.) Now you may argue that this is proof of your point -- if the rest of the world was a market for SF on the same scale as the US, then the non-US advances should be fifteen times the size of the US advances -- but I'd like to point out that (a) selling into a non-English market entails the additional cost of a translation, and a decent translator costs near-as-dammit as much as an author per unit time spent on the job, and (b) genre SF is substantially an invention of the anglosphere because of [see long discursive political ramble about the effects of technocracy on the origin of golden age SF as agitprop fiction].
