I'm pretty sure the planetary effects from soaking up all of the power we need from solar panels would be something on the order of the sea level rise that would occur from me pissing into the ocean.
Finally, when I set Discussions to the D2, there IS a "Retrieve X Comments" control, but it has no "All" option, only "Many" "Few" and "More". See: http://i.imgur.com/NNGxK.png
Does this option seriously exist, or are you just fucking with me?
Could you clarify where to find it? I've seriously been on Slashdot since 1999 and this is my number 1 complaint -- it never let me display all the comments at once

Can you point to some sort of study (or even just advance an argument) that posits that decriminalization of drugs would cost MORE taxpayer money?
Even if you had to create a whole new Department of Rehab, and an increase in crime from addicts, I can't imagine that it would actually cost more than the money saved from disbanding the war on drugs + tax money gained recreational sales + the income taxes paid by those who now aren't in fucking prison + income taxes on the new jobs created selling and producing the stuff.
There are plenty of people selling pizzas just like the ones you get in Italy in America, you just have you look to find them.. it won't be from the big corporate chains.
I'll cop to never having played with garageband, but here is what I don't get:
If you're going to design a guitar or drum set to be played on a iPad screen, why would you draw them exactly like their real life counterparts? They are just buttons and GUI controls, why not arrange them in a way that makes sense for a hand tapping on the screen? It strikes me like those bad real world object analog GUIs that were so common in the 90's, shit like this: http://imgur.com/JML1H
Word Wars was a not very exciting documentary about tournament Scrabble produced by a tournament Scrabble player, mostly about his layabout friends on the East Coast. He picked bizarre personalities on purpose.
I play tournament Scrabble, decidedly not at the expert level, but I can tell you that while we're all a quirky group of people, for the most part there is a good mix of educated professionals amongst the guys that have to bunk 4 a room at a tournament because they can't hold a job lest it affect their character string study. A lot of CS/programmer types too, Scrabble being the pattern / board positions / probability game that it is.
I'd really like to see this. I have a Core2Duo Macbook Air and it's plenty powerful for my needs. While the 5+ hours of battery is great, I'd easily add 2 more pounds and some thickness if it meant 10-15 hours of battery life.
In fairness to the English Wikipedia -- if you don't cull some of that trivia shit, you end up with a hundred lines like the following in the article on New York:
*In Episode 1S204 of The Simpsons, the Simpsons mentioned New York
*In Issue 455 of Star Wars Digest, there was a comment regarding New York
MLB, at least as far as American sports go, is pretty receptive to internet streaming with the MLB.TV stuff. Not free though, but much cheaper than a $100/mo cable subscription just for sports.
For example, the U.S. ranked #3 in the list of the most criminal countries for the reporting period, while no major U.S. city was found among the most evil ones,
Does this mean the US just has all of it's malware spread evenly between the many major cities? Or are all the compromised machines in rural places like Buttfuck, Indiana?
Probably more to do with the fact that those 'resort' prison countries:
A) Also take care of their non imprisoned citizens -- they have functioning social safety nets.
B) Don't have America's shitty attitude towards ethnic minorities, or have very homogeneous culture.
I mean don't get me wrong, America's brutal prison complex is horribly immoral, but if you transplanted it to Scandinavia magically without fucking up their social safety nets, I don't think it would really RAISE crime at all.

Ugh, that final link should be this: http://i.imgur.com/5Fmab.png
See, no "All" option on that menu.
I appreciate the try, but I guess I'm screwed for another decade.
The link you told me to go to goes here: http://i.imgur.com/O6YLl.png
And the Discussions tab has no "Retrieve X Comments" menu in classic view. See: http://i.imgur.com/CAHTQ.png

Maybe we're first.
Clothes. Try walking around town naked and homeless.
Just read Guns, Germs and Steel and then shut the fuck up, please.

Couldn't a pilot who's convinced to pull off a terrorist attack just, well -- do it? They are at the controls and all...
Jesus man, I mean it would suck pretty bad to hate the Dutch and all, but no need to kill yourself!

That doesn't make any goddamn sense. Asperger's is simply a description of the socially awkward shit you posted, not something to "blame it on"
It's like complaining "why can't it just be shit falling to the ground, they are blaming it on GRAVITY!"

Ah yes, just like Cable and DSL, Democrat and Republican. Truly the free market is wondrous with it's choices.
I've never had a problem with it either. I like getting achievements on my PC games :-)
I've never been to inhabitat but holy shit did it want to run a lot of javascript. Like 15 different domains.
Where do I sign up for my check, I've produced content! ...Oh I see just for the megacorps then is it?
