Also, the Japanese have done quite well. They invented the blue light-emitting diode, hybrid engines for cars, process technologies for cost effectively producing large LCD screens, etc.
I know what you're thinking: "Did he flip six qbits or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Photon Machine Gun, the most powerful quantum entanglement source in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Is the cat dead or alive ? Well, is it, punk ?

This is about as coherent as an episode of Teletubbies.
Oh yeah ?
"Laa-Laa sent out for one of those short, plump little breads called Tubby Toast, which look as though they had been moulded in the fluted scallop of The Noo-Noo's hose. And soon, mechanically, weary after a dull day with the prospect of a depressing morrow, I raised to my lips a spoonful of the Tubby Custard in which I had soaked a morsel of the toast. No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body, and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place...at once the vicissitudes of life had become indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory..."
Well, not specifically a genuine Cray 1. However, the cheap-as-chips generic Windows PC that I bought at the local electrical warehouse pisses all over the performance of that archetypal 'Supercomputer'. All the figures trotted out these days for the Top 500 are just so much willy-waving. Ridiculous.
"This serious-looking equation gave SETI a serious footing as a legitimate intellectual inquiry. The problem, of course, is that none of the terms can be known, and most cannot even be estimated. The only way to work the equation is to fill in with guesses. And guesses-just so we're clear-are merely expressions of prejudice. Nor can there be "informed guesses." If you need to state how many planets with life choose to communicate, there is simply no way to make an informed guess. It's simply prejudice."

Huge white starships are kind of easy to see, target, warn against, etc.
That's no starship....that's a moon.

he didn't just stop the clock
I'd love to be smart enough to manage something like this.
Look on the bright side - even a stopped clock is right two times a day.
If the launch party involved playing the game I'd understand.
You've just lost The Game. And you made me lose too, you bastard !

You forgot tentacle pr0n and bukkake.

Our US readers might want to familiarise themselves with those alien creatures before replying.
The water these missions have found is present in very small quantities. Extracting it would require a lot of energy.
This is the bond of water. We know the rites.
A man's flesh is his own; the water belongs to the tribe.
My mind is simply refusing to imagine Bill Gates in a sexual situation.
Why simply imagine ?
Ohhh, baby (Safe for work)
Needles to say, he was... *cuckoo*.M/quote>
Sounds more he was a drug-dealer with wads of unlaundered money.
Maybe that would account for the needles.
I hope we'd finally get to know the truth about McDonalds hamburgers. Or can we count them as persons?
