If you look at the proper sources, you'll see that future history contains either a "Jackpot" or a singularity, either of which will assure that 3016 will be a far greater advance(?) from 2016 than 2016 is from 1016.
The cars may be legal, but the sale of them, the misrepresentation involved in the sale was a fraud. Consumers paid their money for cars of a certain performance grade, and to make the cars legal will significantly lower that grade. Expect a very costly class action from customers who didn't get what was promised.
The patriotic bias is one of the most widespread, and unrecognized, journalistic slants. Frankly, as a stakeholder (voter) I'd rather the media just tell us the truth instead of what they think should be he truth. That way I can make reasonable decisions and use my power wisely
I'm glad someone said this. The real problem is the failure to apply traffic regulations to bicyclists. Our legislators should take care to make sure all traffic rules apply to bicyclists, to make sure the police enforce the rules against bicyclists, and to make sure the fines and penalties are the same for violators on bikes as for others. We'd have far fewer bicyclists going through stop signs if they had to pay a $400 fine when they're caught.
But it's really not like shouting. It's just capital letters - it gives emphasis without the ill effects of shouting. So no need to get upset about it, ever. That's just a web myth, a fantasy. Quit spreading it. And don't pretend it hurts your eyes or ears.
Heh! What a great investment gold is for Beck's suckers... uh, I mean audience. For example, the hearing brought out the following:
"Salesmen suggesting the only "safe" gold investments are coins and commemoratives. A doctor telling of buying $160,000 in gold coins and six months later learning they were worth $80,000 less than he paid because of a high markup."
"What ICANN really messed up with was the TLD concept reading backwards. It should be... com.google.etc. It confuses a lot of people to have the order the other way. "
Yeah, look at all the confused people typing in "com.google."
Seriously, the ordering is just a convention. It can go either way as long as it does so consistently.
"Laws should follow morals, instead of morals following laws."
That is usually true in a democracy. However, look at our current crop of Congressmen, Senators, and Administration officials, and the way money influences them. After Our current grand scheme of government is that "money talks" and everyone else walks.
"Like everything else, assembled in China with American parts.... "
That's the way it used to be. Now everything is manufactured in China with Chinese parts. And while we in the US have been arguing with backwoods Muslims, China has stolen the world, with the acquiescence of our government. (When was the last time you heard of a major party candidate being believably anti-globalization?)
There you go... Maybe we can defeat this new initiative by showing politicians that their own emails would be retained as well... As the parent implies, politicians hate transparency above all else. In Missouri, for example, Governor Blunt decided the open records act didn't apply to his office's email. Too bad for citizens trying to keep their eye on things.... One wonders what we'll find if those emails are ever able to be reconstructed. (Yeah, they were deleted too....) Now maybe if the ISP had been forced to retain them?

I don't think so. If it has energy, then that energy can be transferred, and heat is the transfer of energy. Absolute zero is an energy-less state....
It doesn't sound life they're leftists. They sound like far right wingnuts.... At least the ones under discussion here, who seem to have a majority
It's where everything goes to hell slowly because of greed, complexity, creeping rot... See "The Peripheral" William Gibson

"Because God knows that London is the only city alien disturbances happen in. Also, it's apparently literally the only city in the U.K."
Sounds like some kind of objection? Meaning what?
Anyway, blame Quartermass. The object was found during building works at Knightsbridge, London
More like a Quartermass movie. Strange alien object found in pit eventually releases all the demons of hell into London:

"chocolate tastes good, strawberry jam tastes good, and a good steak tastes good - but you'd never, EVER mix the three."
I'm not so sure about that. One of the best meals I've ever had was blueberry glazed pork chops.
Have you never opened an oven after baking, say, a frozen pizza, and had the escaping moist heat cloud up your glasses? That's where it goes.

Right, the reason the netbook is "obsolete" to Mr. Weiner is he switched to an Ipad. Hey Dave, just don't switch. Stick with your netbook.
