It is my understanding that after flying on a starship, you do not exactly die, but have options to become a a single drop of rain or maybe a highwayman.
So here's this lawyer burning up, rubbing his head and shifting every which way, watching his newspaper melting, and saying that he "couldn't imagine what it could be." How about the huge building that looks like the eye of freakin' Sauron? Oh wait:
I think it does poke fun at the original. Geek squad goes around ostensibly fixing computers, but they can't fix a soul. It's not much, but as you said, I don't think you need a lot of parodic content if if it's not for commercial purposes.
I agree. Judging from the "superflip" video, it also looks like they count rotating a center layer as one move, even though the video does it in two. They do it twice, so it takes 22 motions to solve in the video.
Yeah, I find that interesting. People take Bible passages out of context to try and support their beliefs all the time; athiests and preachers alike. In this case, the athiest says ZOMG!! I KNO MATHS THE BIBBLE SUXOR LOLOLOLZ!!
If you do 30/pi and round to the unit, it's fine. If you read a little further the thickness is given and could account for the missing circumference quite well. If you're a numerologist, the passage is 1 Kings 7:23 and (23-1)/7 ~ 3.14. Or if you're a 2700-year old brass-casting jew, maybe it just makes sense.
Or maybe the author was just trying to say it was a big frickin' bowl and not trying to give a math lesson.
Yeah, and on a slower system it's unwatchable. Youtube and netflix run smoothly on my old Celeron, but I have to quickly set quality to "low" before the hulu video loads to be able to watch it. And then, it STILL isn't smooth.
How not to do it... My first apartment was over garages with dark brown doors facing west. They'd collect heat all afternoon and radiate up into my place all night. It was miserable in the summer.
My current place does it right. A patio door with southern exposure lets the sun warm me in the winter but not in the summer. If my insulation and sealing were better I probably wouldn't even need to run a heater when it gets cold.
Wait, your town had 5000 people and only 3 or 4 families? You're doing it wrong.

Ubuntu on a Dime

· Score: 1
Parent nailed this one. I have an older machine and really want to run Ubuntu... I really do, and I already run mostly open source software. But:
Deal Breaker #1: No Netflix watch-it-now. Deal Breaker #2: Soundcard didn't work. I researched and screwed with it for an hour before realizing that I'd rather be watching a movie.
I also have a couple of windows-only apps that I use occasionally and I don't want to spend hours figuring out how to make them work under wine or whatever. One of them is Friz 8, another is Power Tab Editor (for guitar music).
Maybe they'll get past the Netflix DRM issues or Wine will get developed enough to run Silverlight. Maybe I can live with TuxGuitar or something. Maybe I can make do with Crafty. Maybe I'll buy new hardware that works well with Linux. But for now, Windows does what I want it to (and yes, MSE is free).
A prior paper that they quoted suggested that "immune function, especially the innate (i.e., rapid) component, may be directly mobilized by cues that are disgust-evoking" Oaten et al. (2009).
So by that hypothesis, yeah, goatse might also boost the immune system. I'd speculate that revulsion to a greasy distended anus is strongly related to disease (or at least injury) at some level. But all that aside, I'd gladly take a bout of the flu to erase goatse from my brain.
I agree. "Safety" is an unfortunate name for a device that is easy to disable, even accidentally. It is not "safe" and gives a false sense of security. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.
In this case, it was the gun owner's responsibility to keep a 3-year old's finger off of the trigger by not leaving a loaded, chambered handgun laying around...
Special Relativity was the most facinating suject I studied in college. It's extremely useful too, for example if I ever find myself in a limousine travelling at.8*c, I can calculate how much shorter it's gotten.
I've picked up more chicks with a Prius than I ever did with my MB SLK350. And they were hot. Smart, hot chicks dig that sort of thing. Vapid hot chicks prefer status symbol, although they cost more to maintain than said status symbol.
Slashdotter picks up multiple hot chicks in a Prius? Why is this not a banner on the front page?
#15 The Geometry of Genome Space: What notion of distance is needed to incorporate biological utility?
Back-of-a-napkin analysis:
1. Gnomes are approximately two spans (18") in height (neglecting rare sub-toadstool varieties). 2. The length of the average human "biological utility" is about one inch per foot of height. (Neglecting my own super-sized utility, of course). 3. Gnomes are roughly proportional to humans. 4. "Incorporation" distance is = length of "biological utility." 5. L/18 = 1/12.: L = 1.5 6. The "notion of distance" to "incorporate" a gnome's "biological utility" is = 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) Q.E.D.

Of all places for this to be implemented, it has to be McDonalds.
That choice can be explained in one word: Hamburgler.

Indeed, lol.
Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians' "Good Times": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ8jjUt_H5U
It's a nice tune, and Edie Brickell looked great.
And so my adverb was chosen, but I'm sure they've fixed a few. (While selling a few motherboards in the process, of course).

The Virtual Tour background image is a flag with three stars in the blue, and what looks like morse in six stripes. Hmm.

Sorry, I don't know how to get around the "junk charachter" filter with regular morse symbols.

Still, when the 10-200 hits the fan, it IS important to have a backup.

From TFA: "Our participants rated those guns pictures as more distressing than the disease-y pictures."

The moon already has a king.
He's been around since at least 2008.
I've been around since at least 1973

So this guy goes in for brain surgery, and asks the surgeon, "when you're done with me, will I be able to play the banjo?"
The surgeon says "sure."
The man says, "great! I've always wanted to play the banjo!"

the reality is if you're a serial drunk, you need to get some help. Nothing else is going to fix it.
That's not true. I can stop any time I want.
#15 The Geometry of Genome Space: What notion of distance is needed to incorporate biological utility?
Back-of-a-napkin analysis:
1. Gnomes are approximately two spans (18") in height (neglecting rare sub-toadstool varieties). .: L = 1.5
2. The length of the average human "biological utility" is about one inch per foot of height. (Neglecting my own super-sized utility, of course).
3. Gnomes are roughly proportional to humans.
4. "Incorporation" distance is = length of "biological utility."
5. L/18 = 1/12
6. The "notion of distance" to "incorporate" a gnome's "biological utility" is = 1.5 inches (3.81 cm)
Q.E.D.
A few solid stats and this one's wrapped up.
