Well of course you would know the name of the first pilot to fly across the pacific. Sir Kingsford-Smith was the first to fly trans pacific. USA to Australia. In 1928. ~10 years before Amelia
Actually, no I didn't. But if I was on a predominantly Australian website, I wouldn't complain about the lack of a bio in the article summary. I'd just google it and then all would be good.
I really wish more people understood exactly what Atheism means. Atheism is not a lack of belief like most think, but rather a belief that there is no god.
Um no. Atheism is a lack of belief in god. Christians simply cannot tell the difference between a lack of believing and a belief there is no god.
You really should just stop pretending weed is ever gonna be legal in the usa. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
I don't agree. I see tremendous progress being made politically and socially. Word is finally getting out that Marijuana is not the bogey man the government has been telling us it is. Hell, Pat Robertson said legalize it. Medical Marijuana? That would have been laughed out of the room 20 years ago. Now, it's actually happening.
I often play white noise as well. That or some kind of spacey electronica...anything without voices helps me concentrate a lot more than listening to the people around me talk. This study might be accurate for some people, but it's certainly not for me. I've experimented myself and I can't concentrate on my work when people are talking around me, headphones drown them out.
The rest of us are actually glad that you're staying home. The women are happier to not have to deal with so many misogynist losers, and the men are happier to have you out of the way.
The guys who are bastards to women actually seem to have the best luck them. Who's the bigger misogynist? The one who treats women nicely and gets shat on and gives up, or the one who goes out and treats them like dirt repeatably. Well hey, at least the latter guy is getting out and being social, right? He must be the good-guy-non-misogynist, right?
A close analogue. Moon bases would likely be staffed by civilian scientists and engineers. They're not exactly the warrior types. If you phoned down to McMurdo and told them sneak onto the French base and plant some seismic charges on their power generator, I think the response would be something like: Go fuck yourself.
If all the countries who can, race to the moon as individuals, I'd expect there be a turfwar over the few areas that might have more value to a colony (like fighting over polar ice). It'd be a sad thing to expand the worst of our nature to the moon and make the sands of that distant void red with blood.
Doubtful. The moon is a pretty big place. If we did actually establish separate bases up there, it's more likely the groups would cooperate a bit on their own. They're off in the middle of nowhere trying to survive in a place that could kill you in a second. Deliberately damaging anyone's equipment could easily kill off everyone. Turf wars are something you'd expect when there's a lot more infrastructure in place and specialized "security" people present who will obey inane kill orders from their host country.
Seriously. This would save everyone a whole lot of trouble. Whenever my parents's computer inevitably gets a malware infection, I tell them I'm done rooting through their registry cleaning the crap out. I'm just going to format and reinstall Windows. Copy the shit you want to keep somewhere safe and I'll move it back when I'm done. It's instantly fixed and much faster.
People will just drive more to make up for the greater efficiency, and still whine about gas prices...
Drive more? Unlikely. My driving habits aren't dictated by cost, but rather by necessity. But it may be that they'll just start making larger cars that use the same amount of gas as today's smaller cars.
So... there's an Indian conspiracy to place their people in places of influence and power? And then--when we least expect it--pow! India conquers the internets!
No, it doesn't. Some people who claim to be atheists may claim that because they are ignorant. But it's Christians who claim that Atheism is faith that god doesn't exist. Atheists just don't believe in a god. They don't claim god absolutely doesn't exist. How many times do we have to go over this?

You can develop algorithms to scan images and videos for it.
Uh, you can? Show me a program that can distinguish between child porn and regular porn.
I've never seen any porn on wikipedia. I've seen some nudity before...but porn?
I agree. I find real trance (not the crappy bubble gum crap cheer leaders dance to) puts me in a state of mind that's quite conducive to coding.
I often play white noise as well. That or some kind of spacey electronica...anything without voices helps me concentrate a lot more than listening to the people around me talk. This study might be accurate for some people, but it's certainly not for me. I've experimented myself and I can't concentrate on my work when people are talking around me, headphones drown them out.
Hell, just do it for an hour and quit. You'll still walk away a millionaire.
So EXPERIMENT and be a bastard. If it doesn't get you what you want, be something different.
Because it's not in my nature to be mean. And I'm not looking for a shallow relationship. And I suck at being anyone else besides me.
Straight women find status, power, and money attractive.
Not really. I'm ridiculously good looking, but have none of those things. I still get laid.
Wrong. Being good looking gives you status and power. Status and power can take many forms.

This.
Men are adapting to the digital age just fine. Maybe it's women who need to change, not us.
What, exactly, is "fnord"?
Beware the fnords!

There was nothing natural about the way she slipped that comment in there. She clearly just slid it in there for her constituents.
I'm tired of suffering at the hands of stupidity, and I don't want to bite my tongue over it, anymore.
You have a point. But you're missing another. You may suffer just as much or more at the hands of intellectuals.
So... there's an Indian conspiracy to place their people in places of influence and power? And then--when we least expect it--pow! India conquers the internets!
Technically, it happened before Pandora's Star. The Starflyer used it on Far Away.
MorningLightMountain is hard at work eradicating other species.

Atheists don't attack anything. Individuals do.
