If you want to be that pedantic, then/all/ of our energy that's not geothermal or fission ultimately comes from the sun. Fossil fuels are mainly ancient plants that grew with sunlight, after all.
To be even more pedantic (hee!) that fissionable material comes from an even more ancient supernova, as do all the bits of Earth that have a higher atomic number than iron.
Tomato Firmware is still stuck on Linux 2.4 because Broadcom's driver blob hasn't been ported to 2.6, Don't know how much of a difference it'd make for my WRT54GL, really, but it'd still be nice to be more modern than ~2.4.17.
We banned trading luxuries with North Korea a few years ago, on the theory that it would stop the Dear Leader from keeping his generals and other senior advisers happy. It got their attention quickly and they quit doing whatever they were doing at the time.
Altavista was wonderful back in the late '90s, mainly because they were faster than everybody else and their search database was larger. This was before Google, and their main competitors were Lycos and HotBot.
Actually, back then, Altavista's page was just as simple as Google's used to be. Search box, logo, a button. I quit using the service once the PHBs turned that page into a slower Yahoo that took forever to load.
Also, they didn't actually/say/ much at the rally; the content seemed to be "mouth nice words, and also we need to turn to the Christian god", i.e. us heathens aren't Real Americans.
Lastly, with the hyperpartisanship of the previously mentioned, the only ones who'd physically show up were teabaggers anyway.
Because Beck and Palin are normally so hyper-partisan. There's reasonably no way this wasn't political in some way, no matter what self-serving story they tell you.
Well, no. If the apparatchik had been doing his homework (or if he'd even watched the show/once/), he'd not have picked Colbert. I mean, I really don't think Smirnoff mercilessly mocked Reagan in quite the predictable way Colbert did Bush the Lesser.

Easier not to give Republicans another platform for their histrionics - probably you'd get less screaming and "No!" about a ban than you would a tax.
Palin 2012!

That was a joke. Over here we usually reserve "stall" for the toilet, or perhaps for where you'd milk a cow.
Over here we don't make our kids eat [in|from] the toilet.
Harlan or Larry?
Irrelevant and past its prime.
Sometimes. Probably depends on when/where a given person was born. Seems a bit more common amongst older folks who were born in the countryside.
Doesn't do that for me. My Android phone can find my location easily, though.

I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking tree!
And yet, nobody ever seems to RTFA. How's that work?
"Fun" could have been sarcasm. Maybe not, but possible.
You're free to interpret my posts in any way you please, sonny.
Heh, funnily enough I prefer the taste of my mineralaceous tap water to stuff that's been filtered through a Brita.
Taste: there's no accounting for it.
It gets rid of those liberal microbes.
*snort* Let me draw a diagram on this chalkboard showing how your comment is linked to the Nazi Party.
In fact, it's making me tear up.
You think that's bad? The loons behind Conservapedia are working on their own translation of the Bible from the conservative perspective:

Except the people who, you know, pay attention realize that it was a teabagger rally; it was just dressed up pretty to get attention.
There's a reason why Beck felt moved to tell his followers to leave their signs at home.

I haven't tried torrenting anything since I learned of this, so it's all second-hand.
