According to NNDB she was born in 1987. You do the math.

Given his age, I thought he might have some older kids and even grandkids... and what do you know, he does.

So no, I don't think she'll be growing up alone with no one to care for her. But hey, let's just make self-righteous remarks about other families we don't even know, eh? Hell, I was raised partly by my grandparents, who cares if she's raised by her brothers and mom(who is still young)?

This is one of the best writeups I've seen on him.

You know, if you want to pick on Bill Gates for his business practices, his attitude towards open source software, or any of his other actions or beliefs, knock yourself out.

Having a rather thick skin, I'm not terribly offended or anything, but why, on a "News for Nerds" site, are you picking on the man for no other reason than, well, being a nerd? And why, pray tell, is this rather personal malicious and unwarranted attack modded up as "Funny"?

And last, but not least, I doubt that a married multibillionaire (with three kids, incidentally) needs to masturbate very often no matter how nerdy he is, but not being privvy to his personal life (or a multibillionaire), I'm just guessing.

You mean This guy? or are you confusing him with the Jedi Terrorist Osme One Kenobi ?

And then remember AIDS isn't the cause of death, but the state that the body can't fight back...

Depending what you read:

Spinal and throat cancer

Spinal cancer

Throat cancer

He died of having AIDS. Cancer killed him. A bit on the end

You're obviously a dirty terrorist-loving traitor. Why don't you take your so-called wireless communism and go back to Iran with all of your freedom-hating pals?

Which bastard? This bastard.

If it hadn't been for the gutsy Rose jumping onto the rope and doing a bit of gymnastics, Earth would've been absorbed into the Nestene consciousness and the plastic men would have continued their massacre.

"More trouble than she's worth." Ha!

I think Rose will turn out to be a great companion - inquisitive, quick learning, possibly just behind Leela in ballsiness.

Of course, Romana #2 (Lalla Ward) can never be challenged for sheer lovability in my eyes!

(If only I'd been an evolutionary biologist, she might have be interested in me when she dumped Tom. Oh, and if I'd been about 20 years older of course.)

So I guess you are going to tell me HL Mencken, Walter Cronkite, etc, etc, aren't journalists? Right. I think just about everyone is going to disagree with 'your' definition on that one.

Before you go yelling once again that Cronkite has a school named after him. Yes, he does. That doesn't mean he want to school. Now you are going to yell about all his degrees. They are all honorary degrees. He NEVER went to school for them. Link: http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/C/htmlC/cronkite wal/cronkitewal.htm

Got proof he did? Let's see your sources.

Carpentry also doesn't compare to being a doctor, yet you can't get insurance on a new house unless your carpenters are bonded and licensed. If you don't believe me, call a contractor and ask.

My uncle built his own home. He has insurance. You can get insurance if you had the house well inspected during the building process and look around for insurance companies. Many insurance companies don't want to assume the risk of insuring a house with unknown quality of workmanship. The insurance company is the one who decides what risks they want to take or not. The government is not involved, and you don't have to be a bonded/licensed carpenter to build a house in most jurisdictions (some local zoning regulations may insist, but those are strange local regs, not national laws or regulations). You just need to get everything inspected. Don't believe it? http://apps.irs.gov/businesses/page/0,,id=7006,00. html "The license/registration requirements for carpenters and their business entities (that is, sole proprietorship, joint venture, partnership, or corporation) vary from state to state. Most states, however, do require those in the carpentry/framing business to register or obtain a license." Most states require a license if you are going to do it for a business. Others don't. There is no national law for it.

I dunno, but why don't we start with Richard Nixon's list and work from there.

Your ass is mine, Paul Newman.

I reply to the reply:

Larks's tongues make beautiful music. Aspic is a preserving medium. Any
recording of King Crimson is, IMHO, a preserved piece of beautiful music.
What better analogy for their sound than Lark's Tongues in Aspic?

Separately, I see here that Jamie Muir actually came up with the name.
