Take me to the edge.

There's a song in there somewhere, and I mean a good one; not the one from Magnum.

What are we fighting for?

"What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die!"

Country Joe And The Fish - Vietnam Song

After all, they are "moving at a faster pace"

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar

That tomorrow

There'll be sun!

Just thinkin' about

Tomorrow

Clears away the cobwebs,

And the sorrow

'Til there's none!

When I'm stuck a day

That's gray,

And lonely,

I just stick out my chin

And Grin,

And Say,

Oh!

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on

'Til tomorrow

Come what may

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

I love ya Tomorrow!

You're always

A day

A way!

No more frozen Canada or Siberia - we can settle those lands and grow more food than in the entire existence of humankind.

I can't speak for Siberia (high school geography was a long time ago), but almost all of Canada was scraped by glaciers during the last ice age and the climate over most of Canada since then is such that there hasn't been very much soil formation. So when northern Canada gets warm enough to grow wheat and corn, you still won't be able to because you will be trying to farm rocks.

Meanwhile, if the climate changes enough that northern Canada is warm, there is a good chance that what is now prime North American farmland will end up as desert.

Never been to Wales then, have you?

There's no way to revive it. As REM had foreseen, the world we knew has ended, and now we're just drifting until a new wind catches our sails.

If the Federal government would just fix the debt problem, all these other problems would rapidly fix themselves.

With apologies to ZZ Top.

You said, "Women who are abused are not the ones to blame. They are the ones who have the power to stop it but they are not really to blame."

Yes, women are to blame for what they do. They have the same responsibility for their own actions as men.

This is just more of the same old Slashdot pseudo-science that is posted as a real story.

"Bad boys" communicate that women have no responsibility toward them. That's what women want when they just want to have sex. Only that. Try it yourself. If you communicate that women have no responsibility, they will want sex with you, too.

You might need considerable practice, because at present you may have no idea what you are actually communicating.

Yes, it is a compliment when a woman wants to be intimate with you. But, after a lot of that, it gets annoying. Only a real, responsible relationship with a woman who wants to be true partners will give you what you need as a human.

If you communicate that you want a real relationship, then it will be difficult to find a woman in the United States, because the culture in the United States is going through a period in which women are very negative toward men.

Try different countries. Things can be very, very different in a country other than your home country. Put on a backpack and hitchike through Europe during the summer. I recommend the Greek island of Ios in July. (But, I haven't been there in a long time.) The Greeks are nice but the real attraction is other travelers from all over Europe. Two-thousand-five-hundred women and an equal number of men, with nothing to do but socialize.

Take buses and trains in less-developed countries. Stay in cheap hostels for backpackers. Read Let's Go: Europe. Read the Lonely Planet guides. You will meet women travelers who are a bit different because they also have decided to do a little more with their lives than stay home.

If you want a wife, try looking in Brazil, where women are a little less religious about avoiding responsibility. If you look in Brazil, don't just marry the first Brazilian woman who seems wonderful. Talk to your woman about responsibility. If you don't get good answers, try other women. Learn the Brazilian culture. Learn the Brazilian social sophistication.

You might also try Thailand, but you would probably need to learn to speak and write Thai, and you would need to learn an Asian culture, and it would be more difficult to find a truly mature woman. Remember the lyrics of the song "One night in Bangkok". Don't just fall in love with the first Thai woman who is nice to you.

Quote from the song: "One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble. Can't be too careful with your company."

The song is about a real event. One year the world chess championship was held in Thailand. The men went out at night, and were not prepared for the experience of being treated with gentleness. The Dalai Lama says that Thai people are gentle, and he's right.

I've seen it myself. One night, a long time ago, standing on the corner of Patpong road, a western woman was trying to get control over her western man again after he had seen in a Thai bar that a woman could be truly gentle with a man. All the man had known in his entire life, apparently, was women being harsh with men.

Again, don't marry the first Thai woman who is nice to you. Learn the culture. Learn the special challenges of being multi-cultural yourself and having a multi-cultural relationship.

A good idea, if you are in a country in which the native language is not English, is to hang around a school that teaches English. When you see a woman who is interesting, offer to have a conversation in English with her, so that she can practice, if she will teach you the Thai culture. In Thailand, you might try visiting the

Don't you mean it's on the Highway to the Danger Zone?

Yep, it's true.

(Sorry about the popups...)

I don't know how well it runs in an oxygen-less environment, but the famed Canyonero is my recommendation. They have an F series, how about a M (Moon) series?

Yep. And if stuff like that did not make you pause the fact that you gave an example which was simultaneously invented by at least two people should.

Radio was invented nearly simultaneously by Marconi and Popov in 1895 and surprise surprise it was all based on a work by German (Hertz) from a few years before that. Similarly, while Marconi invented very little (most inventions were done by Hertz, Popov and Ducretes) he gets the credit because he successfully drove it through the patent system.

Yet another history repeating... http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/theressomethingaboutmary/historyrepeating.htm

Whilst, in fairness, the article doesn't mention it, the Aptera Typ-1 actually has a third half-seat that can be used for a baby seat. Alternately, it can be removed to make cargo space. "The vehicle seats two in the front, with one seat in the back big enough to fit an infant car seat, according to company specs. With that seat removed and used as a cargo area, it can fit up to 15 bags of groceries or two full-size golf club bags." - So as long as you're not taking your kid golfing with you, you should be fine.

Also, the vast majority of trips made every day are with only one person in the car, which is the reason why transit lanes exist. Furthermore, as a person of over 6' height, the back seats of most two-door cars are useless for me anyway, and exceedingly uncomfortable for most people I know - so I should buy a sedan because I might need 5 seats on some rare occasion? If you have a family, maybe you'll need a sedan as well, but most families have two cars, and considering that the majority of the driving that people do is to and from work by themselves, this car makes a lot of sense for the average commuter, and as the average daily commute in the US is 20 miles, a 120 mile range seems pretty reasonable. So yeah, you won't be taking the 4 kids on a road trip to the grand canyon in it, but you won't be getting 300MPG with a Canyonaro, either... I would hardly call it "extremely limited" - it's just as specialised as any other car on the market.

Plus, it is pretty damn cool looking.

Freedom used to cost a buck o' five! Ahhh, good ol' inflation. ;)

Snack time for the troll.

While porn may only account for 1%, I would like to see usage of porn versus non-porn sites. While www.google.com is only one site, it shouldn't be dismissed as irrelevant.

So let's sing The internet is for Porn song. Audio sample (my apologies for the wm link)

Since you've now learned the meaning of camel toe, perhaps you're interest in this http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/b/bobandtom17966/cam eltoe498813.html I don't know the title or the artist but I think of it as "Ode to the Camel Toe". Set the Beach Boys Kokomo music.

This guy spent £495 to annoy the shit out of you? Either you deserved this, or the guy is a complete prick, in the latter case, fight fire with fire. Get some _very_ large subwoofers, a good amp, and play a song like Hootchie Mama by 2 live crew, or if that's not your style, maybe something like "Superpredators" by Massive Attack.
    Or, even if you don't like that, just find something with real spleen shattering bass and just blast it.

Also, for those interested, I found a link to the mosquito sound here from an article at the Beeb here, also, another interesting turn-around:

You are god dammed right it is. In the words of one the greatest American poet/philosophers: Freedom isn't free. There's a hefty fucking fee. If you won't throw in your buck 'o five, who will....

I'd like to say a word for the farmer,
He come out west and made a lot of changes
He come out west and built a lot of fences,
And built 'em right acrost our cattle ranges.
The farmer and the cowman should be friends,
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.
The cowman ropes a cow with ease, the farmer steals her butter and cheese,
But that's no reason why they cain't be friends

While I agree that there are more Mac users, (I converted my neighbor)I think this is writing for eyeballs at best. The writer has wisely weaved together hot-topics to sell his story.

Right now and until there is a release to stores on MS's Longwait, there will be plenty of extra Macs sold. In fact, it will likely BE the second-coming of the apple desktop.

Once the available for retail date gets close on Longwait it all goes quiet and MS collects on their monopoly. Cha-Ching! The the media onslaught will include /.ers cooing about it and throwing a couple of jabs at Linux and Macs as well.

Right now, Apple is getting some desktop face-time. Enjoy it while it lasts. Sad too, because the mac is superior in so many ways.
