Exactly. Until recently, it's been Whoosh v5.2.3 you would hear overhead, though nowadays you get anything from Whoosh v6.x through Whoosh 14 or more! WTF (Whoosh Through Fragmentation)!?!
We did support Saddam, but mainly to counteract the greater de-stabilizing force of the early revolutionary Iran. And we never propped up the Taliban. You may be thinking of the Mujahadin during the Soviet invasion. Afghani is a unit of currency. And they're not Arabs. Go learn some history. And current events. And geography. And culture. Then come back and talk to me.
And yet, IQ scores continue to climb every year. The average person in 1880 would score 70 today. The brightest Greek mind would likely sound like an idiot today if you tried to talk to him. He wouldn't know anything about DNA, quantum mechanics, evolution, economics, astronomy, virology, microbiology, ad nauseum.
Yeah, I guess the world be a better place if the Taliban still had their own country, with Al Qaeda as their guests, from which to plan more 9/11 attacks these last 10 years. Oh, and with Saddam's stabilizing effects in the Middle East as well. Yeah, I think that's pretty obvious.
Enough coal perhaps. The life expectancy of oil is around 34 years right now. Proven global reserves of usable oil are around 1 trillion barrels (7 trillion to include all shale oil and other forms of oil not currently usable). At current rate of global consumption, we would use all 1 trillion barrels in 34 years. However, the life expectancy of oil has been increasing over the years due to discovery of oil growing faster then even our rampant usage (something peak oilists conveniently ignore). It may turn out we have enough oil to last a few hundred years, but not based on current proven reserves.
Yes, we Americans should get a much more logical political system, like the British. Maybe if we had a House of Lords and a royal family, we'd finally enter the 18th century.
Um, we know pretty well how stars are formed. Hydrogen gas is slowly drawn together from gravity, accelerates as it gets closer, and eventually sets itself on fire. with less and less hydrogen gas freely floating around, it makes sense fewer stars would be forming.
Just select your favorite movie star, your next door neighbor, that girl from your childhood dreams, and boom, the rich get a full contact reprogrammed you who's going to do exactly as demanded.
In the 1978 movie, Jor El also says that by the time he reaches Earth, Krypton will be dead for many thousands of years. And in Superman Returns, he goes there and back in 5 years. If he travelled at relativistic speeds, he would return to Earth perhaps thousands of years after he departed. I don't know of a way to rectify these two scenes in the movies.

I hear ya. I've found folding laundry so complicated, that I just have my mom do it for me and bring the folded clothes to my basement.
Not to mention Omicron Persei 1-7.

It's one of these:

and having multiple highly profitable product lines
Right. They have lots of cash because of their profits. But somehow you think that making lots of profits doesn't mean their stuff is overpriced.
I think that speaks more to how overpriced Apple products are. How do you think that they have $100 billion in cash?

Almost makes you wonder if the wars were about something else entirely, like terrorism and regional stability, like they said. Almost, I guess.
That's the kind of password an idiot would use on his luggage!
You must be new here.
I hope that was a humorous remark regarding the vast discrepancy between your user id and jandrese's. The alternative is just too ridiculous.
I was using poetic license. I know how fusion works.

I LOLd, but considering this is the franchise that brought us Pussy Galore and Plenty O'Toole, it's not entirely implausible.
Yeah, the hotel in the desert strained the bounds of credulity. Were hydrogen fuel cells really more effective than, I dunno, solar panels?
First they came for Facetime, but I said nothing because I don't use Facetime...
Exactly. And what good is a new born baby?

What the hell are you talking about?
