But the phone companies are forced to keep a list of numbers that are illegal to call (crack dealers and such) so people can't call them right?? Oh wait.....
ISS is estimated to cost $158 billion by 2017 (according to wikipedia, the source of all knowledge; I assume the US isn't paying for all of it). Current cost of the war in Iraq is over $500 billion (US is paying for all of that). Each person can decide for himself/herself which is the bigger waste of money, but the chances of something positive coming from the ISS is considerably greater in my opinion.
I think the next generation solves the 100% replication problem by hacking into the internet, stealing someone's credit card, and ordering all the needed parts.
So we are looking at a stupidity singularity at some point in the future, where the levels of stupidity increase to the point where we can't possibly get stupider or we would all simply stop breathing. If this stupidity singularity occurs at the start of this fall's tv season don't be surprised.
My proof that this isn't true is that, if I were indeed in a loop, I would have picked a better loop than the crappy life I am currently experiencing.
Seriously though, what would be the point of looping through the same life over and over?
So he doesn't like filthy hookers? What a horrible job!
Or would the answer to the./ question be (at least in my case), "First, learn the common terminology of the industry"?
The thing about living the life they live is instead of spending all day commuting to work, sitting at a computer, washing dishes, filling out tax forms, and sitting in front of the boobtube, they spend a few hours gathering food and the rest of the time they can do whatever they want. Hell for all we know painting their bodies is their equivalent of American Idol.
If I am backing things up properly, the only time I would even think about looking at a ten year old backup is if the other 119 full monthly backups made after it were all bad. Though chances are I would have destroyed the media anyway, because I doubt I would trust ten year old backups on any media that I could afford.
Wouldn't it be mostly visible to someone with x-ray vision only? Plus if it was too close, too large a dose of x-rays probably wouldn't be a good thing.
It is made for schools, and over 95% of schools run windows. ...snip...
Now get off your linux soapbox and learn that the real world doesn't revolve around your chosen operating system.
Considering I just got back from a lunch where I ranted to a friend about the exact same things you are mentioning makes me at least feel like I am not going insane.

If it doesn't care, why won't it let us go already?? Stupid gravity....

But then WE will be there. I looked at the cost of the recent mars lander; we are throwing away more than one lander every two days in Iraq.
Not all old folks prefer to use their old accounts all the time. Mostly because of stupid comments that could haunt us in future job interviews :-P
can it run Vista??

Sadly everything on the planet that was immune to gravity drifted away from the earth before people existed.

Way to tip off the AI; our only hope was to recognize and kill it before it realized we were a threat, and you ruined our only chance.

Some joker hooking the targets up to a wall socket?
The ods would do better if they remembered to take their eds every orning.

Oh the irony of that statement.....
Just wait until you remember you are an IT drone, then the horrified screaming will begin again.
Seriously though, how many people here would love to be fluorescent green?
And here I was hoping space would be one place to someday finally have a lawyer-free haven.

But how do you keep normal people's eyes from glazing over as you explain all that??
