The other rover needs a winch like any respectable Range Rover would have. Sounds like a cheap fly-by-night sort of budget operation...Oh wait, it was. Normally I'm all for NASA bashing, and they and the mentality they represent are certainly not the way our species will get off this rock sustainably. Still, it seems kind of wrong to dump on them when we're talking about the Mars rovers, which by almost any measure was a job well done.
Well considering the fact that MSFT spends over 5 billion a year on R&D, with very little to show for it in the way of actual products hitting shelves, it would be nice if they actually had something to show for all that cash spent.
On the contrary, I'm delighted to hear that Microsoft is helping to neutralize itself by blowing billions on research that has no return on investment. Keep up the not-so-good work, guys!
The word "conservative" lost its meaning a long time ago, particularly in the USA. How else do you explain the politicians who self-identify as "conservative" who are so eager to expand the size and power of government?
Well, we still have the word "libertarian" so we can tell who actually wants to make government smaller, although even that one has to be taken with a bit of skepticism sometimes.
Beer has a similar effect with me, and I assume that's because of the hops. Hops alone are sedating, and in fact hops tea (non-fermented, non-alcoholic) can be used as a natural sleep aid or a way to relax.
Yup, if I drink a lot of beer I fall asleep too. Must be the hops.
Unlike you, I don't want to push all of the Americans into the sea, but I have to admit I haven't had much with American cars. In addition to Japanese cars, though, consider Korean ones. I love my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe, it's just as good a car and it was at a noticeably better price than its rivals. And it has a feature that I never realized I'd appreciate so much -- a tight turning radius.
bombing clinics is stupid, as is all vigilante justice. that doesn't mean that violence can't stop violence; this is why cops carry guns, so that they can stop aggressors.
This set of ideas only works if you accept that government sponsorship is both necessary and sufficient for legitimizing violence.
I've been married twice, so let me tell you something important. They say that the first year of marriage is the hardest. Don't worry, that's not true. It's the last year that's the hardest.
Although, The Hunt for Gollum cost about five thousand bucks and it was 38 minutes long. I realize even that isn't quite the same as a full length feature film for three times as much, but we're clearly getting there.
They know people might think this way. That's why they're negotiating treaties in secret, so they can try to foist restrictions on us all simultaneously.
Who says English-based creoles are mutually intelligible with English? Jamaican patois sure as hell isn't. Neither is Cocoy, spoken on Dominica by descendants of migrants from Antigua.
That you could list significant third party and independent electoral victories in the U.S. on a postage stamp and have room to spare supports the proposition the the two party system is intractable, rather than weakens it.
Similarly, though, if we do something, meaning additional government regulation that dampens economic development, especially in poor countries, and the global warming proponents are wrong, millions of people die from continuing grinding poverty that would otherwise have been avoidable.
Craig ate the newspapers lunch (their classified ads) with his list. He could atone for this by setting up a news search engine that shares the profits with the newspapers.
"Atone" suggests he did something wrong. He hasn't. Through Craig's List, he has benefited humankind more than most people could ever dream, even though the sum of that benefit is made up of a great many increments each of which is very small.

Don't worry, a rant against that douchebag Ted Kennedy is never out of order. Well done.
As some (very clever) wag has said: If atheism is a religion, then bald is a hair color.
Baldness is involuntary, so it's more like if atheism is a religion, then shaving one's head is a hair style.

I'm sorry, but "goatse" and "erect" simply don't belong in the same concept.
Can they yank my citizenship because I'm not totally patriotic to the USA legal system yet?
By definition, everything we do is sort of inherently "yank".

No kidding. I mean, a negative savings rate, even when times were good? It doesn't get much more shortsighted than that.

You know, that's one of those comments where context is everything....

Good luck!

Besides being a hippocrite
Whoa, is that like being a big, fat hypocrite?
I wish that the proposed changes for Gnome 3 were minor, but to me it looks like major change, and change resulting in a total usability clusterfuck.

Ah, but would it be "embiggens" or would it be "ginormousizes"?
I am practically a professional light-bulb changer
So, how many of you does it take to... oh, never mind.

Um, guys? The Fifth Element was LOVE? HELLOOOOOO?
What, and you don't consider "Milla Jovovich" and "love" to be interchangeable?
