Remember, if we just increase the enforcement budget a little more and give up just a couple more of our basic rights, next time, we'll get them all for sure.
Which WILL happen in 2012, if the Tea Bagging, FOX News watching, Glen Beck worshiping, ultra-conservative Red States have their way.
+3: Laughing at the DPRK is really the only thing you can do. Unfortunately you stop laughing when you think about what life inside the DPRK must be like.
Or you could stop laughing when you think of their nuclear capabilities, starting WW III over Christmas lights would not be my idea of a laughing matter
I'm much better at verbal than maths skills, so I thought I'd do as poorly as that "school board member", but not to worry, did most of them in my head (no calculator needed). That school board member is a squid, especially because he thinks " the math isn't relevant to many people"
My marriage is on the rocks, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.
Last week I came home early from work and say a guy running, naked. I yelled out "Hey buddy, why are you doing that?" he yelled back"because you came home from work early"
I told my dentist my teeth are going yellow. He told me to wear a brown necktie.
My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy. I told him, "If you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion." He said, "All right. You're ugly too!"
I got a million of them folks, a million of them.
Available for weddings, bar-bat mitzvahs, I'll be here all week, tell your friends, and try the veal. Remember to tip your wait person because they try really hard to help you
I would be impressed only if he gave away money such as to leave himself no better off than the average US citizen. Did you ever hear the Bible story of the widow's mite?
Sounds like the griping of a person who has never read the Biblical quote "The poor will always be with us"
Joking aside, If Bill can manage to kickstart this it might be the greatest thing anybody ever did for humanity. Future generations will look back on this as The Turning Point.
(assuming that it works anywhere near as well as it works on paper)
Say what you will about M$, Bill has his head screwed on straight, and I admire him for it (witing for the slings nd arrows of anti-M$ sentiment here).
How many rich guys do you know have:
Given away half their money to charity (talking billions here)
Married a plain ordinary woman, and stuck with her
II live in Mexico, and Netflix has just become available here at the same price I had been paying in the States, albeit with greatly reduced content. It's like your starbucks-clone saying "we're charging you the same but you can only get our regular coffee now, no more cappuccino for you".
I tried the free trial and after seeing what was available, tried to close my account during the free period. They wouldn't let me do that. Crappity-crap crap! Damn shame, that they screwed the pooch so badly.
On the other hand, it's also putting out 'Ancient Aliens.' Television has good and bad shows, and often the most popular are the least culturally valuable.
On the other hand, I have 4 fingers and an opposable thumb.
De gustibus non est disputandumIS the operative phrase here.
Read the Pi schtick - they are all about changing computer instruction into something cool, and getting away from making everybody into electronic secretaries.
Too late, MSNBC already has stated that geeks are the new chic .
Someone has probably already crafted a similar version in a distant private or military research lab anyway. Its better that it got out and fixes are prepared.
Problem is, "similar" isn't equal to "the same" , therefore any preperation would be futile, at best.

Just say no.

That was just the ego boost I needed for the day.
You can say that again.

Adding "Microsoft" to already crazy picture doesn't improve things either.
This is Bill Gates as a private person backing a company which does new nuclear stuff, dragging microsoft into this makes no sense at all.

Seems to actually be happy
Done something to benefit future generations.
Actualy it was "Win Ben Stein's RQ-1 Predator"
Then we'll have "People for Tamagotchi Rights"

You do realize that stories are submitted well in advance of when they're actually posted, right? Sometimes DAYS in advance.

Ok, then how about I don't give a shit about your frivolous and trite pop "culture"? I'm too busy immersing myself in real arts and culture.
Touchy today, are we? Methinks that you doth protest a bit much.
@ackthpt The young and stupid will always be with us.
I have the first Transformer, I'm very pleased with it.
But is it "More than meets the eye" ?

Hmmm, alternative cancer treatment? Could work, somebody tell S. J., oh wait....
