I live in the city, and I only see a few stars at night thanks to the stray light from street lanterns. I have never seen a night's sky like the one in the video in my life.
I like the Kindle a lot but indeed, e-books for the Kindle are way too expensive. I once bought an e-book from Amazon for 2 US$ more than the paper version, and found out that the figures were left out! There is absolutely no excuse for that. Never again will I buy an e-book from Amazon.
I like OSX. I like Apple's hardware. I can afford it. I think Apple's stuff is worth the exta money you pay for it. I don't care what other people think.
Indeed. What's so special about people going online in bed? People make love before going to sleep and/or before getting out of bed the next morning too. Shouldn't we care about that too? Why don't we see articles about that on/.?
But what is the definition of "your own" here? If that means you made the music yourself there shouldn't be any problem. But I guess the RIAA and -likes think different about it.
You conventiently ignored the rest of my comment. Luckily you haven't set any standards, even after the war, because Europe and the rest of the world soon went their own ways again. Hell, even your scientists use SI units now, to keep on par with the rest of the world. Yes, we were very grateful when you freed us from Hitler, but lately the US have turned into arrogant bastards and terrorists, and you will have to worry soon about the rest of the world blindly following your policies.
Oh, you did that all on your own, did you? All those Canadians and Britons were just there for show, weren't they? And I'm glad that your standards on treating criminals, on healthcare, on environmental care and political elections are not catching on here in Europe.
I wonder when a Formula 1 championship will be organized for electric cars only. I hope very soon - that will get the technology development going much faster.
World peace is a theoretically simple problem, It only requires people to be friendly to each other. I was gonna post a real problem but I was distracted by a butterfly.
I think if you want to be a good religious leader you need to be an atheist. Only then can you come up with reasons that are ridiculous enough for the believers to believe they fight for a 'good cause' and make them reach your goal while you sit in your fancy house, paid by brainless followers, and watch them toil for you.
They weren't shot down, they crashed into the alien's flying saucer. Because the aliens didn't want their presence to be known they pried the memory thingy out of the black box. The saucer was unharmed BTW.
Exactly. I often have a hard time getting people to realize that the citric acid found in citrus fruits is the same chemical they make in factories. Most people think the molecules made in the factory are poisonous because they are 'chemical' while the ones from the fruit are 'biological.' I then point out that many 'bio' substances are extremely poisones. That often makes them see the light.
This post is not a flamebait but the truth. Not only in America but also in most of Europe you have to be crazy to become a scientist. I know 'cause I am one. The changes of making a career beyond the job of Post-Doc are tiny, which means getting a fixed position at a university is out of the question. Our government wants the Netherlands to be in the top five of the best research conducted in the world, and in order to reach that goal has thought it wise to has rip at least 300 M€ from the science budget. All universities now have to lose personnel. This means not only do you never know where your next job comes from, but there is also a small chance that you get fired during a research project. If I were a student now I would really think twice before starting a scientific career.

Wow, it seems like I've been hearing stories about DNF all my life, and now suddenly it's really coming out! It's like the end of an era.

Actually, I live in the Netherlands, but here we can only buy e-books from Amazon US.

I said people, not nerds ;)

Are you always this friendly to people you don't know?
But what is the definition of "your own" here? If that means you made the music yourself there shouldn't be any problem. But I guess the RIAA and -likes think different about it.
OK, we're friends. I was a bit upset because your remark came over as quite arrogant.

Well, let's then make a rally championship for electric cars! Is more fun to watch, too.

For all Americans out there: The Nürburgring lies in Germany. Germany is a country in Europe. And Europe is the capital of Amsterdam.
Man, I remember in the 1980s when they pulled 1000 horsepowers from a 1.5 l engine. Those were the days!

We are not talking about production vehicles here. 9 minutes is impressive for an electric car.
Nah. He will fight himself to death.

Is it possible to use that fin for cooling as well?
There has never been a benign empire in the history of humanity.
What have the Romans ever done for us?
