The life expectancy figures cited by grandparent are based on a starting age of "zero". A lot of kids don't make it to age five, many due to car accidents. Once you've made it to age five, the "average life expectancy" of the remaining pool has gone up quite a bit.
As you move up the population pool age brackets, you have already lost the people who were going to bring down the average. To state otherwise brings you to the situation where you're introduced to an 85 year old man and say to him "you should have been dead five years ago!"
I'm pretty sure all the astronauts in the statistical pool started at an age of "zero". Joking aside, if you remove people in the statistical pool that died at a younger age, it is no longer the average life expectancy. To state otherwise brings you to the situation where you're at a funeral for a 102 year old man and say to his kids "he should have lived another three years."
I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about the vote which you have just taken, about the smartphones. Many of my best friends are members of the Council and only a few of them are smarter than their phones.

NBC... Telemundo, USA, Oxygen, MSNBC, CNBC and Bravo. That's the equivalent of eight days of programming packed into each day.
Eight days of programming each day on seven channels? That's only 87.5% compression. They can get up to 80% with H.264. Then they could have 8.75 days of programming each day on the same 7 channels!
We played beer chess instead. Somebody had a 4'x4' chess board. Pawns were Mickey's, rooks were Fosters, queens were a bottle of wine etc. Every time a chess piece was taken you had to drink it. We rarely lost; against the beer drinker types we just out played them, against the chess player types we'd trade down pieces early and out drink them.
We played beer chess as well, but with slightly different tactics. We were rarely sober; against the beer drinker types, we'd trade down pieces early so they could out drink us, against the chess player types we just let them out play us.
But seriously, who wants to be managing something with a GUI under Windows A Windows user? I think the more important question is: What admin wants a windows user managing his linux boxes?
I am unable to follow the logic step between one unit of our oil being substantially equal to one unit of OPEC oil and the conclusion that this gives OPEC some control over the price that our oil will be sold at. It seems logical to me that an influx of a large amount of a resource into a market would reduce the price. Although, I will admit the record profits that big oil has been having in 2007: http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/01/news/companies/exxon_earnings/ and as far back as 2004: http://thinkprogress.org/2005/05/09/consumers-on-fumes-oil-industry-guzzels-profits/> will tend to erase any relief for consumers.
The best part of this is the loop created when abuse@[domain] sends the canned response to abuse@[domain], followed by the typical "we've got your e-mail, we'll get right on it when we feel like it" response to abuse@[domain], and another and another, until all of google's storage space becomes full of them. <Possible Humor> Then the e-mail monster gains a mob mentality and becomes self aware and uses the president's gmail account to order a nuclear strike on Russia in an attempt to trigger a nuclear holocaust, but no-one believes it's a real e-mail because the government's linguistic experts compare the key phrase 'Launch all nuclear weapons at assigned targets in Russia' in the message and compare it to the president's typical grammar and conclude he would have written 'Lunch allo them there newcler wepons and blow them ruskies away.'</Possible Humor>

I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.

... we've come out of hyperspace into a meteor shower. Some kind of asteroid collision. It's not on any of the charts.
Enabling^W Patriot Act, Schutzstaffel^W TSA, Gestapo^W Homeland Security, do we get a Night of the Long Knives too?
They have racks that wall mount, floor mount, mount in custom woodwork and built into desks. They have fans to deal with heat and power strips too.
When she read the article her first words were "Where do we get one of those?" O.o
You may already have one. How long have you been married?
To quote another slashdotter's sig:
Please read 1984 before commenting on 1984.
Read the book?!?! It takes 3 minutes to read the article and I didn't do that. What makes you think I would read a book?
You use a transmogrifier.
Just be sure to have some lager around.

Where's the other 2%?
They both look like chat apps. How many different ways is there to show a chat window, a text entry box and a list of people in the room?
Flash floppies that are pre-infected. That's just gross.

Great. Now I'll need a second login for typing left handed when my wife is gone.
I for one welcome our new oil company overlords. Wait... they're already in power... never mind.
