They don't really use spacesuits, that silver uniform is just the duct tape holding the cosmonaut to the ACME rocket sticking out of the ground.
The test launch should go well as long as the cosmonaut doesn't look down and make gravity kick in. Man, if he does, that rocket's gonna explode. People can survive the fall, but the explosions tend to leave them in disfigured in blackface.
When I was a teenager, my beloved pet frog Fred leaped out of his bowl and escaped. He jumped on the radioactive box in my backyard, which turned him into a giant mutant frog, then he lept down the bottomless pit in my backyard and disappeared.
I followed him into the hole, falling down a thousand feet and landing on my ass next to this car that also kinda looked like a tank. The keys were left in the ignition, so I drove it around and used its ability to fly and climb walls to blow shit up. I finally found Fred, but he wasn't looking or acting the same as he used to (he was trying to kill me), so that made me so sad I had to kill him in self-defense -- once in level 4 and again in level 7.
I lost everything in that hell. I had to kill the frog I loved, twice, and now my car broke down on me so I'm sitting on a hilltop in this strange underword wondering what the fuck I'm gonna do. There, you happy?
Or perhaps the movies themselves just suck more than they used to? Because there's no soul and little controversy? No "oomph?" Resorting to milking the entire comic universe over and over again? Dumb, sterile humor? Animal humor? Putting a monkey on screen is not funny (despite the idiot audience feeling obligated to forcibly laugh) unless the monkey is masturbating, flinging poo, or maiming people.
The Rum diary is a colossal disappointment, J. Edgar doesn't do a good enough job raking that fucker through the coals. Green Lantern was hokey, even for comic-book standards.
It's rather presumptuous(and typical) of religious people to assume that people become atheists only out of spite, and not possibly because believing in a supernatural being is batshit insane and is as ridiculous as believing in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. I get that shit all the time from religious people, who respond to my beliefs with,"Oh, what happened?" as if they cannot comprehend how people can independently arrive at the same, sane conclusion. that's when I roll my eyes and say, "my kitty cat ran away, dumb motherfucker."
...And if Hawking did become an atheist out of spite, it was probably due to the church's past and present treatment of fellow scientists - astrophysicists like Galileo, who was lucky to be put on house arrest instead of killed.
People like you are a minority, an edge case. And your brains are mushed enough to the point that you're too afraid of the big papa establishment to really be useful. You're just now coming out of the closet, but are too afraid to admit that your parents lied to you about the invisible sky-daddy.
You're every bit a religious minority as I am - only I'm afraid to break the rules to get my point across. You're busy listening to Mat Kearney and Kings of Leon and all the other feel-good crypto-Christian payola garbage to really influence change. Either that or you smoked more than your share of dope and are embracing Baha'i or Zoroastrianism, in which cases your minds are doomed to black holes of sitars and patchouli oil.
It's not my fault your wife fucked another man in the bathroom at the Christmas party. But, speaking of "sharing knowledge," thanks for letting us know that you just now found out weeks later by poking through our e-mails.
From what I heard(and from what we all "heard" as "it" was happening), she's planning a divorce.
"Aloof" in this case is a euphemism meaning, "obedient, emotionally-stunted lapdoggies who got whatever they wanted and were never subject to discipline as kids, and think they can play with their subordinates like they played alone with their G.I. Joes."
When baby doesn't want to share his knowledge and is difficult with people, then he should not be allowed to supervise others and even the most ignorant of HR screeners should have prevented this.
Here's yet another appropriate Hannibal Lecter troll you won't find in the movies:
"I collect church collapses, recreationally. Did you see the recent one in Sicily? Marvelous! The facade fell on sixty-five grandmothers at a special mass. Was that evil? If so, who did it? If he's up there, he just loves it, Officer* Starling. Typhoid and swans - it all comes from the same place."
* In case you're wondering, Hannibal refers to agent Starling as "Officer," which serves to mock her position.
Yes. Ron Paul is an anti-constitutionalist, anti-libertarian..., a hypocrite, a liar, a theocrat and anti-American traitor.
...and still the best of the bunch. I will probably vote for him knowing that he won't win - but this time I will vote to send the message that I'm sick of the establishment's shit. I lost every bit of Hope and Change in mainstream candidates after Obama's reign.
We aren't going to be productive by votes, the system is too powerful and manipulative to allow that. We're gonna be productive by Sacking the traitors from within.
The problem is that, for a variety of reasons, American presidential candidates are obligated to be Christian and are kinda stuck pandering to religious morons - The clout of the shadowy Family and attendance of their National Prayer Breakfast is a good example.
Many of us believe in a god, or (like me) are outwardly atheist, but many of us who don't believe in a god claim a religion or denomination for reasons of family history(and, more specifically, the risk of being ostracized or written out of the lucrative will for angering the more traditional elders).
Ethanol-fueled, where is this rant going?
Religious people want censorship. The internet's free flow of information is anathema to their shackled minds and irrational fear of truth.
My friends tell me that Chinese toilets are like Mexican toilets, in that you can pee in them but you have to throw your poopy toilet paper into an adjacent wastebasket or you'll back the whole system up. Is that true?
I've seen American companies have problems with the F.O.B. Asians actually standing up on the(American-style) toilets and then squatting to crap, causing damage to the toilets and prompting management to leave angry notes saying not to stand on the toilets pasted on all the stalls. My brain broke trying to comprehend the absurdity of that message until somebody explained to me that they're used to shitting "like birds perched on a branch."
Are you saying that you know better than the entire MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science faculty.
Wow, you didn't ask it as a question like most folks would, you demanded it. But when you're at MIT, you can do shit like that, because you're special. Hell, George W. Bush graduated from Yale and flew planes, when you're from a big-name school you shit rainbows and roses. On the other side of the country, you got this well-balanced guy from Caltech. I was lucky enough to have an MIT grad as a professor, and he was drawing across 2 huge boards to explain a problem that we got in 5 seconds and were walking out afterward.
You guys are good at what you do, but we pay you that excessive salary to stay in the basement and not try to talk to us.
It's easy to "magically" do things in Python without being forced actually come up with real algorithms, though that's a strength as well as a weakness. It's good as a time-saving abstraction to all those academics with no background in programming who now have to program, especially for bioinformatics. SciPy and NumPy come to mind.
I would not recommend it as the first programming language of a noob seriously interested in computing because of the automatic type handling and all the other stuff that prevents people from learning the little necessary but tedious things like the pitfalls of integer division and type mismatch problems. There are also few dev shops that use Python primarily, so a noob would be better off starting with a more familiar language like C/C++ or Java. People complain that everything in Java must be a class, but that is a good message to pound into the mind of the noob - we don't need any more aspies banging out unreadable C monoliths.
Then why is our government abusing their "State Secrets" privilege whenever we call them out for trampling all over our rights? Yeah, we know that things are better here than in China. The point is that we can see where it's all going and we don't want to end up like China.
Do you have a security clearance? If so then you'd know that the vast majority of stuff you come into contact with is overclassified. Some things do need to be protected, like that one weak spot on the tank or jet, but many others shouldn't - especially when you are trying to get a fair trial but the government abuses their "States' Secrets" bullshit and withholds all of the witnesses who testify in your favor for -- wait for it -- "National Security" reasons. I just described the kangaroo-court Article 32 hearing of Bradley Manning, who is a hero for releasing what he did.
I can only hope that poetic justice is served on the punk bitch Adrian Lamo. I want to see him raped in prison by a 400-pound black man.
These discussions would be painfully boring to read if it weren't for folks like you. I'll buy you a beer if you ever stop by San Diego. A good one, too, like Stone - not Bud Light and wine coolers, which is what all these thumb-sucking bedwetters drink.
It also doesn't help that the discipline in schools is relaxing to an all-time low, and kids can wear hats and have cell phones and text and game all day and then tell their teachers to fuck off - and not a damn thing will happen to them once their parents threaten a lawsuit.

There is also significant R&D dedicated to nullifying IEDs and much of the technology has been available for years. Google it.

Because the jobs must be given only to loyal budding tyrants who are sympathetic to the establishment.
Michael Vick comes to mind. He was only sorry for being caught.

I'll be here, watching the sunset high as fuck with a case of malt liquor, with this playing on repeat.

Much test equipment is programmed using HP Instrument("Rocky Mountain") BASIC and, damn, is it horrible.
I also miss being a kid, but for some strange reason I don't feel the need put a diaper on and run around shitting myself.

Friended.
Don't try to wiggle your way out of this one, bub - you got burned. Modded down. Grab your fucking ball and go home.
We don't need your swishy gadgets in our school system.
hey did I miss anyone else?
The Martians.
Yes, indeed.
