It's a quote from "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," a satiracle film about the state of the military at the time. Mine shafts were to be the future homes for humanity, and the country that had the most would "win" after the fictionalized nuclear holocaust.
Honestly, I'm concerned if we're going to be able to leave the planet before the sun expands and engulfs the earth, so I suppose 100,000 years isn't long term.
You're correct. That would be a bad assumption. Sadly, I would be dishonest if I said that I believed that we'd try to find something better if we already have a solution that's "good enough"
While I agree that nuclear is a very viable current solution to our energy problems, it still fails to address the long-term problem. Fossil fuels and nuclear fuels have the same problem: limited supply. The Peak Oil concerns of today are swapped with finding caches of nuclear fuels tomorrow. I realize I'm probably looking a little too far down the road, but it would be nice to know that we're not just reacting to problems, but anticipating them.
I believe the difference here is that, instead of a site monitoring which pages people are visiting, Twitter would be monitoring the user comments. While it's ridiculous to assume privacy through Twitter (since it's designed specifically to spread information), it still FEELS wrong.
Albert Einstein is dead.
Ben Franklin is dead.
Stephen Hawking has muscular dystrophy.
Thomas Edison is dead.
Nikola Tesla is dead.
Bill Gates is pretty okay.
Is it wrong to hope that I someday see a black and white combat video on Wikileaks of an Apache gunship pointed at the blown out wall of some skyscraper with a wounded telemarketer or auto-dialer operator laying next to a headset and the gunners voice come over saying, "Just pick up the #%&$ing headset, just give me a reason, motha$%#@er!"

1 in 6 turn out okay. I don't like those odds.
It was a weak play on the "anti" portion of anti-matter. Apologies for physics making it silly.
That was a solution I came up with as well. Make a black hole of anti-mater (white hole?) and cram the two together. Also, don't be nearby.
Honestly, I haven't seen the main Google page in a while. Had no one sent me the link, I would've missed Pac-Man day.

Not even a little.
I think most of the American public would be okay with labeling them "enemy combatants"
Ok... so now who's nostalgic for the return of microfilm/microfiche?
But, how are people in the future going to read the Orange Catholic Bible?
