For the amount of money paid, I would have read the fucking contract!
People who can afford that kind of money for a joy flight won't really care about any scientific definitions of space. It's all just about having flown on the Virgin Galactic bragging rights. Like, being hauled up Mt. Everest by Sherpas, or a helicopter flight to Machu Picchu.
Folks who know even less about guns . . . shouldn't be legislating about guns.
If you do want to learn about guns, visit a nearby shooting range. You'll be surprised how friendly these "gun freaks" are, and how polite and patient they are with newcomers. It's just like any other sport. People like to show off, when they know a lot about something, and are good at it.
All these smart guns ideas . . . well, we know where that's coming from, and where it is going . . .
If we can't find an airliner somewhere on this planet
The airliner isn't on this planet any more. The aliens took it. They were after the schoolgirls on board. You just need to read all the current headlines, and connect the dots.
The Korean ferry sinking was a botched abduction attempt by aliens. Who was on board the vessel? Schoolgirls.
That Wacky Islamically Challenged Nigerian has sold kidnapped schoolgirls. Who were the buyers? Aliens.
IRA General Gerry Adams claimed that he did not order the abduction of Jean McConville. That's true. He ordered her schoolgirl children to be abducted, but his drunken henchmen got things a wee bit mixed up.
Even Monica Lewinsky is back in the news. Aliens commanded her to act like a schoolgirl around Bill Clinton.
Aliens have already made contact with us, and are influencing our lives today . . . with schoolgirls at the center of the whole conspiracy . . . maybe the aliens have come to use, because they like our Henai . . . ?
TFA mentioned that they included Dark Matter in the model . . . which is quite bold, considering that we are still quite clueless as to what exactly that actually is . . . except that we need Dark Matter to keep our other equations from breaking . . .
Darl McBride would be demanding $699 for every drone flight.
Which makes me wonder . . . Gates and Ballmer financed the attempt to kill Linux . . . and now drones have Linux . . . now if Linux gets advanced AI technology . . . will it be aware that Gates and Ballmer tried to kill it . . . and will the Linux drones adjust their flight plans and targets accordingly . . . ?
Sounds like an excellent trashy movie . . . "Colossus: The Forbin Project Redux"
"Only the little people pay taxes, and go to jail." -- Leona Helmsly
If I remember correctly, she was proved wrong on both counts. When a celebrity gets caught doing something naughty, it all depends on the PR and legal team.
If that basketball team owner had been smart, he would have hired the best from the start, and his problems would disappear, and instead be deflected to his . . . um, "assistant" . . . who seems to be completely able to make a train wreck of herself. Now it's too late for him.
Give the fatties something else to blame, god knows it's never their fault.
The summary said:
Many people eat far too much fat and carbohydrate in their attempt to consume enough protein.
They could have just left it at:
Many people eat far too much.
Weight control is all about self control. Fat folks simply don't want accept that.
Fat folks have it tough in life, though. If you think about our ancestors as simple hunter and gatherers, who communally shared all the food they had . . . a fat person sticks out as someone in the group who is eating more than his fair share of the rest of the food. That would breed bad feelings in the group towards that person. Maybe that trait has been passed along to us down through evolution . . . ?
On the other hand, when your airplane full of soccer team players crashes in the snow in the Andes . . . that fat person is going to look very tasty to the rest of the group!
Now Microsoft will have a phone you don't want to go along with the tablet you don't want.
Microsoft excels at selling you stuff you don't want.
For Windows Plan 9, I think that they are going to tweak the EULA. Microsoft will charge you $99.95 for the Windows license for every PC. But that price will include a "free" Nokia Windows Phone! And then you can choose your own contract with any cell phone carrier you like. That way, they'll finally be able to force users onto their phone platform. If you already have to buy a Windows Phone when you buy your PC with Windows, why would you buy another phone? (Well, it might work for enough folks, anyway, not for Slashdotters . . . "You can fool enough of the people, enough of the time to make a decent profit").
So you've got your PC, your Windows Plan 9 license, a Nokia Windows phone . . . but wait . . . there's still more . . . for an extra $99.95, you'll get a Microsoft Surface Tablet thrown in . . . !
People who just don't want Windows 8 are still forced to buy PCs with it. That's still Microsoft's big lever. They'll think of something for Windows Plan 9 to try to drag you, kicking and screaming, onto their phone and tablet platforms. Maybe by some method that not quite illegal . . . but should be.

the melting has nothing to do with global warming, but from warmer currents about which we can do nothing.
Well, obviously . . . we need to declare a "War on Warm!"

My favorite version was the "Director's JFK Cut", where Han, like John F. Kennedy, shot himself.
So . . . do the Chinese have the technology to get past Sarah Palin . . . ?
They also say:
"In a poor country, only the rich can afford to get fat."
"In a rich country, only the rich can afford to stay thin."
Smells like bacon, tastes like chicken, served with a side order of refried Beanie Babies.

Well, they could make things better for a lot of folks, if they would just start shipping Windows 7 again.

I guess unemployment in the U.S. is kind of trivial.
. . .in related legislation, the White House has proposed deporting unemployed U.S. citizens, so it will all work out in the end . . .
If you MacGyver the executive secretary's desk drawer, you will find the passwords to all the C*Os of the company on sticky notes, as well.

It sort of fits, in a very tragic way.

When you play high stakes Rock, Paper, Scissors in a Casino in Las Vegas, the house wins on a tie. That's how they make their money.
Also note that in Las Vegas, they can boot you for life for trying to "play smart", like just happened to Ben Affleck, for allegedly counting cards.
It doesn't seem fair to me . . . if you are good at math, and can count cards, why shouldn't you be able to use your intellectual skills at a game?
Those Las Vegas Casinos are discriminating against geeks. Someone outta sue.
I have the feeling that most of the crowd don't even bother to read the summary.
And it appears to me, that some don't even bother to read the post that they are responding to.
And if that doesn't work, set the phone on the ground just behind one tire of your car, get in the car, and back up ten feet....

Unless there's been a recent disaster that killed off more than a billion people that I didn't hear about,
. . . like, them all stepping on landmines . . . ?

Research Interests: Gender; sexuality and feminist theories; inequality and stratification; comparative sociology; quantitative methodology.
Those types go nuclear all the time . . . with little or no activation energy required.
They already tried that in a movie back in the '60s, and things went terribly wrong, Crack in the World: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...
No, not THAT crack.
Never mind the car interior . . . if I drive it through my living room window, will it clean the inside of my house . . . ?
Think of it as an inverse car wash drive through . . .
