I don't know if I'd consider setting up a good Proxy server as "Slaying a Dictator".
I think that's actually part of a big chain quest so that you can get keyed along with a large group of people to then slay the dictator.
You must first reach exalted with several factions, including "UN" and at least a few of the "U.S. Military" subfactions. Otherwise you can't even zone in.
You know, I wasn't sure either, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. That was hard to understand, so I googled it and got this answer from Answers.com. But that left me even more confused, like wondering why that entry would be filed under "Sports Science and Medicine". I then looked for a book on google books to aid my understanding. And apparently a narrow focus is a necessity for good business, as well as "animals in the wild". This was especially disconcerting because I didn't even know animals cared at ALL about good business.
All in all, I just don't know what to think about it anymore.
But 130 million can't possibly be right! We better assign some false precision to make our estimate believable. Significant digits are for science teachers and marriage counselors!
Judging from the other replies, meta-humor is a little hard for you guys...
It works wonders though. For instance, the next time someone is talking about "the force" or jedis and such, tell them "Get a life, Star Trek sucks!".
You'll find the reaction much more interesting than if you correctly identify the franchise.
Did you not learn when I explained this yesterday?
The quote is: "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!".
There is no "they", nor is there any bad pronunciation. Indeed, it is correctly articulated and enunciated, with an accent.
Easy there champ, nobody appreciates a Family Guy nerd correcting everyone's quotes.
Well, you could vote for a 3rd party...
Except that until an instant runoff system is implemented this is in effect not voting at all.
An instant runoff system wouldn't benefit anybody currently in power. That, of course, means it will never be implemented.
Both parties in the U.S. 2-party system are bad and the subtleties between them are getting harder and harder to see.
that artists should not have the choice of licensing their works under a copyleft license.
You're saying that if "Artist A" wants to release her own works under a Creative Commons license, she must be stealing from "Artist B", who works so hard for a living.
I am going to have to disagree, Mr. Troll.
A two trillion dollar budget, and still they miss this.
It used to be that public safety was the number one purpose and concern of the government. I guess poisoning children is less important now than making sure those with political power get bailed out. Children don't vote, after all. Well, except maybe in Chicago.
They probably missed it because it isn't above any established standard. The glasses were voluntarily recalled because a tougher standard may be pending.
CNN has a poorly edited story about it.
I don't know who the drunks are that write and edit the Yahoo and CNN "news" stories, but they usually have more spelling and grammar errors than a 2nd grade book report.
When I was in Jr. High, my science class had an assignment where we had to make-up a life form, based on the planet chosen's conditions and mine was Saturn. Of course my design was completely ridiculous, but the idea was pretty much close to what they're saying about Hydrogen consumption. This is pretty cool...I *heart* Saturn. "Pro'lly 'cuz it gots money with all them rings it has!" lol =P
So what grade did you get on that project last year?

They had to read it, since the summary was crap.
If it makes you feel any better, I didn't read it.

I suspect that most books have been written recently and their writers are still alive.
And I suspect that you are full of crap.
Who cares? Does it matter?
Does anything?

Sorry, but... You can't checkmate with only a king and a bishop.
The hell you can't. It turns out, your opponent has pieces too! Have you ever even played chess?
Who in their right mind would want Kevin Smith's body scan image?
Kevin Smith.
You mean the whole universe is on a LAN?! Explains much.
I think there has been at least a dozen horror and apocalyptic films that have started with this exact event.
Considering this event happened five billion years ago, there's a good possibility it's more than a dozen.
I don't see how that has anything to do with anything.

Thanks, I see it now. Well played, impaledsunset, well played.

From the article:
In fact, this is arguably the single most impressive and important pattern ever devised.
Really? Not the universal Turing machine pattern, or the pattern that emulates the game of life itself? Those both seem more impressive to me.
Well, he did say "arguably", which is arguably the worst weasel word in the history of mankind.
The human brain is actually pretty good at filtering out noise if you give it a chance.
Well, that and progressive hearing loss.
That sounds terrifying. Then I read that it is just going to go unfunded. Not quite as interesting. Well played, headline writer, well played.
Yeah, the Onion wrote about FourSquare, not Twitter.
The word "tweet" might lead future historians to believe people went around making bird noises.
We could only hope that is what they infer. It is so much more elegant than the truth. "omg u r so ded lol"

The glasses were made in China.
I'd take that bet. Because they were made in New Jersey. (ARC International, based in Millville, N.J.)
