Victim: "Why? I'm not bothering you at all."
Bully: "Because you're not like us."
Victim: "Well I like my friends. If you don't stop, then I'm gonna smack you."
Bully: "Oh! Oh... well, I don't wanna be smacked. Never mind."
Bully's supporters: "Hey hey hey, he's not the boss of you! Come on! We'll laugh at him with you! He won't hit you, he's bluffing!"
I'm wondering if it's a nod to a guy who used to make lots of custom drivers for graphics cards. It was the only way to upgrade my old Mobility card at the time, so I used them quite often. He still has a site up here:
I'd love to see how it compares to the expected values. Can you stick it into a model based on the known equations, turn the crank, and tell what the temperature used to be on Mars thousands of years ago? Hrmm, would be a fun thesis topic.

Quoting a character based upon the writings of a woman is the perfect way to end... whatever that was. Well done.
German consumers pay a lot of money to subsidize big corporations and manufacturers of solar and energy-intensive manufacturing is being outsourced from Germany. Is that what you want for the US?
As opposed to not paying attention and possibly screwing up the climate? Which may lead to billions of deaths as people scramble to readapt crops to new conditions? Yes. I think I can spend a few more $ a month for that.
This is what the acronym means for many people who play online games. I just wanted you guys to know so you'll understand the giggles coming from the back of the room at every meeting.
The unfortunate thing about pet rats is they just don't live that long.
*nodnod* I'm hoping the Gambian Pouched Rat will be domesticated more over the years. Their lifespans are ~8 years. APOPO seems to be doing okay with them so far.
Also, I would mod you up if I could just based on your username.

The Portland city water supply is continually tested, and those tests have repeatedly shown the water to be of higher quality (in terms of dissolved solids/minerals and contaminants) than most of the city/municipal water supplies in the United States -- despite the lack of treatment and open reservoirs.
If you want to watch the scariest movie you'll ever see, then check out The Day After right now. It's a 30 year-old film about what would happen if the US and Russia nuked each other. The imagery and savagery are horrific -- not for the amazing visual effects, but that they are applied to innocent bystanders just living life at home.
It should be required viewing for everyone beating the war drums.
I find it hard to call this a "laser rifle." Aside fromt he fact that rifles are rifles because of the rifling in the barrel (grooves which cause the bullet to spin), Rifles have a medium to long range. This appears to have only a slightly greater effective range then my Oxy-Fuel torch (which is to say, less then a foot).
It looks like it'd be simple to move the lens and refocus the beam further away. Then the blower to get the debris out of the way wouldn't work though. And it'd probably also be really hard to keep the thing on target. I can't even hold a little laser pointer without looking like a spaz.
Why add the extra assumptions in there if they don't contribute to the theory?
That's exactly what I'm thinking. Excluding possibilities adds assumptions to the theory as well. Evolution doesn't need a statement concerning the FSM either way.
That is like saying "why would you use math to figure out the area of that rectangle when you can just guess randomly until you find a fitting number". Both solutions work but one is intelligent.
Scientists use the Monte Carlo method all the time. Depends on the experiment.
I've thought about this quite a bit over the last weeks and came up with 3 different possibilities: 1) More "humane" since bullets kill faster. 2) Survival of the fittest helps evolution a little bit since soldiers who know how to duck get to go home and have babies. (Some military guys might think this way, what the heck do I know?) 3) Chemical weapons might be a gateway weapon to germ warfare, which could wipe out a pretty large chunk of humanity.

I swear, we could make Slashdot twice as intelligent by getting rid of the 7 digit ids.
It might be funny that this is posted as AC to bypass showing the id. I can't be sure though since mine has too many digits...

Woah!! Let's calm down here! We should start with engineering space jellyfish first and work up....

Yep. Looking at kidney death rates on this map tends to agree with that:

Do you really think the government could get its act together enough to put a person on the moon again? Have you been paying attention?
We could just have someone climb the paperwork?
My cave does just fine already. Free AC and heat year round too. Mold is kinda a problem. And bears.

Never going to happen in the US.
The fluoride does a pretty good job, yes?

What if the intelligent designer just wanted to use evolution? I've never understood why the two solutions have to be exclusive.
