Make sure you actually do the "keep away from people" bit. Then hopefully it'll just be you and your family dieing from preventable diseases and not the rest of us.
Well no shit. We are performing an action, so almost by definition there will be some losses. When you look at drilling oil from the ground you ignore the energy input from the sunlight all those years ago, the point is whether we can extract that solar energy in an efficient way.
As the AC mentioned: why are they using drilling oil and lubricants. I understood that the reason they were drilling a new hole (rather than the one the Russians started) was that they wanted it completely clean, with no oils or lubricants contaminating it.
Furthermore, if you're ruling out the "unknown" microbe you find as probably being from the lubricant, then what do you hope to achieve with the experiment?
The one good thing about Bush was that he kept giving us "slips of the tongue" to keep our comedy fresh. Obama thought he was keeping us happy with one slip while he was campaigning, but that was four years ago and really getting old now. If he really cared about the country he'd give us some fresh material!
While people point to religion and say that it's the reason they are doing what they're doing, really it's just an excuse to do what you wanted anyway.
Of course, we know this is true, because every country that has stricter gun control laws in the US experience shooting sprees at a higher rate than the US. There is clear inverse correlation between the strictness of gun control laws and the frequency of gun crime.
Saved me the trouble of typing all that out. If every SNL skit was available except this one then they'd have a clear point, but sometimes you just don't make the cut.
Thank you so much. I've just spent about 30 minutes trying to find actualy information about who was running and all I could find was campaigning and Republican/Democrat conventions.
First example that comes to mind is Viagra. It was initially designed to help people with heart or circulatory problems, but we all know how it got famous.
Now, at least in Italy, you can expect any expert of any hard (or impossible) to predict field to start spouting worst case scenarios for every question just to avoid liability.

Everything Dr. Hadwen said has been thouroughly debunked, many times over. If you've deluded yourself enough to think otherwise I know you won't read these, but I'll leave the links here just in case:

Either a life threatening bug or a life lesson, depending on your point of view.
Very thorough maths: http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3219513&cid=41823257
Basically, unless we somehow come up with a way to fly around that uses at most 1% of current energy consumption there's no way to do it.
Betteridges law states that the answer is no. To avoid the paradox forming I recommend putting your fingers in your ears and sing "la la la".
That is very cool. I will start looking for something more factual to use a a signature.

In a sentence, no, but you didn't ask for that.
We like free speech when it is the truth.
I'm sure if you tried you could squeeze "fuck" in there a few more times.

I saw that at the bottom of /. a while ago. I think it was about diapers, though.

You're mixing your isms. Socialism is a political system, often using communism as its economic system.

Maybe we can find a constructive use for it: http://xkcd.com/322/
I'm fairly certain that you, the person who modded you up, and Culture20 represent the entire population of people who care about that.
I'm down with living naked in a hut, but only if we can keep the internet.
