Maybe I'm just crazy, but I prefer countries that regularly chant "Death to Americans" to not have access to nuclear devices. Again, maybe I'm just crazy.
"First they came for the Marlboros, and I did not speak out; because I was not a smoker; Then they came for the Trans-Fats, and I did not speak out; because I liked healthier foods; Then they came for the Coke's & Pepsi's, and I did not speak out; because I was not a fan; Then they came for the Whoppers, and I did not speak out; because I was not a fast-food person; Then they came for my Fresca's; and there was no one left to speak out for me."
It doesn't matter. If you read the terms of service, at least for my AT&T internet, one of the things that you can't use your internet for is "gaming." (Along with running servers, and hosting files...)
The market prices for games will go down, since EVERYONE is paying for it.
Wait a second here. That sounds like a monopoly to me... I realize that there are similar products competing for a particular game, but if there is only one way you can get access to the game, and one company controls the access, that's a monopoly.
There aren't as many pdf's for textbooks as you think. Prof's usually require the newest edition of the book, which means that the 13th Edition is no good after one or two semesters. Sure, you can get math books, but the exact math book you're using, with the solutions manual? Good Luck.
See it's my little game to answer ever logical fallacy with another. It keeps the discussion going, while providing a subtle joke for myself. Jokes are always fun.
I don't know about you, but ad hominem attacks over grammer are pretty pathetic. Especially when you completely miss the point of my post over a comma or two.
So basically, WOOOSH.
~$200 may be low-end, but that's still not mainstream. E-books still have a lot of cons they have to get past, and a 200 entry fee isn't helping. As a college student, I would need to be able to resell books, but e-books are "rentals" where I can never sell them, without selling the account. IMO that's the biggest reason E-books are still on the launching pad, many (college) books are bought for $120, but resold for $80, so effectively, I payed for a $40 book. With E-books, it's the same price, but I can't sell them. Once we can buy and sell e-books like used books, I may look into it, but that and the high entry cost basically guarantee that I'll never buy one.
If it is so huge, why don't we just make an island out of the garbage, put a few meters of soil overtop, and sell it as prime real estate? That's what they did when they built the twin towers.
It basically is. Two huge pieces of metal flying at speeds in excess of 50 MPH, when colliding, causes the same force as hitting a stationary object at 100MPH.
If you get into an accident while texting your probably dead.
Remember, the decline of the number of union workers in the US exactly tracks the decline of real income of American workers, which has been inexorable since the election of Ronald Reagan (who coincidentally, was also anti-union).
Causation does not mean correlation. The decline in income is due to the decline in Manufacturing Jobs. The decline in Manufacturing Jobs is because of myopic management, out of control (union) wages and cheap foreign labor. You can just as easily blame the Chinese as Regan. Large-Scale economic trends almost always have more than one contributing factor. Or was WWII just because of Hitler?
If you repeat a word too many times, quickly, your brain become tired of that word and it begins to become foreign to it. This event is similar in nature to looking at grid illusions. Your brain becomes tired after a few moments and you see dots.

It self-destructs, correct?
That's not really a fair argument. After all, who ever died from not smoking?
Oh come on, you know Obama's department head's and Cabinet members are all honest folks. Be realistic.
Can we have some context please? What was the Senior Exec Job? I mean, this is the NSF, so theoretically, it could have been research.

That would presumably cost more to build. There is a DVD-Video player for the jailbroken Wii, but it makes the drive wear out faster.
In some unrelated news, it was discovered that using lightbulbs caused them to burn out.
Take is from someone who has soft-modded their wii. The DVD playback works fine.
No, no no. It's "For Great Justice!"
Oh my god, It's full of stars!
Really? World of Goo has extreme pirating problems.

Don't you mean asploded?
I guess the moral here is pretty much summed up by Napoleon Bonaparte.
"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

They are used up on the last story, about Googles GFS, making every lame comment funny/
Why is the OP funny, if it says "40% interesting," "30% funny" and "30% informative"? Shouldn't the post be "Interesting?"
