By that measure, "7bDgew24FV3%4lbBså^r!" is as valid as "To be or not to be...". Yes, they are both transmitted pieces of information. They even carry the same length. The first one is complete rubbish, however. This, by the way, is consistent with Shannon's Information Theory. The problem is that the first piece of information is completely useless whereas the second is an excerpt from the world's best known play.
Not all information is important, we cannot always learn anything from information, and also, I need more sleep.
Apart from that, as others have replied, information does not seek anywhere by itself. The position, speed, spin and size of a rock does not opine to stardom.
It's not even as if the scientists censored the information - they were just following a (very important) tradition of rechecking results, making more tests and generally learning more before going out into the public and shouting "Oo, look at us, we found number ten!". A scientist's job is not that of sensationalism but learning about the universe, checking the results, then sharing his findings.
The Danish military was until recently grouped for holding the Red Army out of Denmark for 24 hours... I don't think we'll be swimming there, bayonettes first, any time soon XD
Who else would be so stupid as to vote a guy into office who was dubbed "the butcher from the Golan heights" when he was running against a Nobel Peace Prize winning man?
I'm from Greenland and have only ever once noted the dispute; looking in the CIA World Factbook entry for Denmark, at the bottom you can see the dispute at the bottom of the page, mentioned in one sentence.
You're saying we're not blooddthirsty war-mongers?
We have some the best trained elite soldiers in the world (they were deployed for Afghanistan, I don't recall whether they were deployed for Iraq) and we have a standing military for international operations - currently deployed at half a dozen hotspots throughout the world.
We've probably already sent our submarine (yes, submarine, singular) up there to guard it against more crazy canadians.
A canadian friend of mine actually once said "You'd best say Denmark is a very nice place lest the vikings come and tear off your face"
That being said, I'm not speaking to him for as long as his dirty bastard nation lays claim to what clearly is danish soil...:p
Why don't YOU grow some fucking testicles and post unanonymously? As already replied, suggestions can make the site better. As I don't see a 'Suggestions? Comments?' link anywhere, I'll gripe here, thank you very much.
Opera has the best track record on safety - at the moment, no other Windows-based browsers can claim the same level of security as Opera - none. This is because in Opera 8, all flaws have been fixed - there are no known security flaws, no problems that have been fixed through workarounds. I personally prefer Firefox for the expansibility, but since safety seems to be a concern, Opera is better. Most people's beef with Opera is that it is a commercial product - the programmers work hard and want money, that's odd.
That's probably also the reason my GP post was moderated Flamebait. "You say a for-money browser is better than a for-free browser? YOU BASTARD!"
As I mentioned, I prefer Firefox. I'm just pointing out that Opera is safer, how is that flamebait unless you're a F/OSS-fanboy?
Equipment and rocket fuel aren't free... It's not even near inexpensive. 10 mio $ could have UNICEF buying vaccines for around 6 million children - think about that number for a moment.
I read that as all-too big pool of people with $10 million (to blow), as anyone with ten million to blow is wasting ten million that could be used saving people or on research...
I tried getting closer than being able to see *all* of our neighbouring countries, too, to no luck.
At least their images from Greenland are an itty bit better than the Google ones in the respect that they haven't been taken during the winter season (in Google, my home town is covered and surrounded by ice)
My mother just purchased a 233 mHz iMac to replace her dated 166 mHz Wintel-PC, on my advice. I felt it was time she got something new and much better.

Why didn't I read this and refer to it before I blurbed all this shit out? Xp
I prefer concise.
Well, I'm pretty sure that special schools have spelling class. Before recess, right after "Personal Hygiene and You - not Mortal Enemies"-class...

Who's to say we're not planting giant fishnets in our waters, ANTICIPATING THAT MOVE?
We'll control the world's fish sales, and IT WILL BE YOUR OWN DOING.
Your turn.
Det havde jeg faktisk ikke opdaget... Men jeg ser heller aldrig tv længere.
Why would we want to have any canadian bacon when we're one of the prime pork exporters in the world?
Then again, I'm mostly vegetarian, though I wouldn't mind seeing fresh seal on the menu...

Even worse, it could be 200 nm (nautical miles, not nanometers)

Well, you started it by occupying it.

I submitted the Free Beer story months ago, no dice. Grrr. Yes, I'd like to see Reasons, too...

Just download the world's safest web-browser instead...
All three companies are relying on royalties from game sales for profit from their machines.
No sales == no profit.
*chuckle*
My kind of humour.

none-too-big pool of people with $10 million

That quote was actually the only thing that stuck from that post for me...
Lovely to see them play together again a few weeks back...
Please elaborate, as I do not see what makes 'defiant' special.

That one, I like. That's a really good one.
You want control? Sure, you've got it. But you get responsibility (liability), too...

I know someone who studies rhetorhic.
I bet he feels that his work is useless by now, I mean, the most horrib^^^^^^powerful man in the world is at the other end of the scale!
