That's nothing. I discovered the formula for cancelling out negative information and licensed the process under the GPL!
You simply have to wait until the hangover wears off, then drink an equal or greater quantity of a negative-information-inducing substance. As you cross over the threshold into a negative existance you will slowly remember all of the information that was negative since the last time you drank. Alcohol will actually convert positive information (you knew it while you were drunk) to negative information, but then, amazingly, after weeks of not knowing any of that information, it will magically convert the positive-turned-negative information back into positive information! Until the information-transforming effects of alcohol wear off you will have full knowledge of all previous negative information but may have a severe positive information incapacitation.
In non-scientific terms, when you get really drunk you remember all the things you did the last time you were that drunk.
I'm still working diligently, day and night, to discover a process to allow this negative information to remain positive after The Alcohol Effect(TM) has worn off. Unfortunately the NSF has been rather stingy about providing me a grant to fund my research and I have been unable to reuse any of my previous experiment equipment yet.
Actually, my friend, I must inform you further about this matter. I am a well-known arms supplier in southeast asia, and I supply many of the blackhawks and MP5s your country uses. Terrorists do indeed have plans to attack your quaint little country.
In fact, just last week I sold a very large shipment to a nice gentleman in Indonesia. The exact purchase is confidential of course, but it did include parts to retrofit vehicles for driving over barricades and some body armour. They are switching from their previous suicide bombing tactics. The new goal is to survive and hence be able to win the war.
Come to think of it, it's probably time to upgrade those MP5s to something better capable of piercing armor, and all your old barricades really do need to be replaced. If you buy in bulk now you'll get special pricing!
Speaking of smuggling bombshells, anyone see the new Macpherson sex tape? Not bad at all. Don't worry, Australia is slowly being exposed to the rest of the world, and I'll do all that I can to help.
Not meant to be too nitpicky, but it's the 7th of August here in Japan. It has been for about nine hours now, or rather since before your article was printed on the main page.
This is a question that has always confused me in history and, I imagine, will only get worse. How do you keep track of what time things actually happened? I know the use of local and zulu in the military has made things easier, but how do historians keep track? Or is everyone just assumed to be talking about their time zones, and all anniversaries are celebrated as that time comes to other time zones, like new years?
Yes, given enough time an object in space will cool to 3 kelvin if the object is not sunlight - near the Earth's orbital distance around the sun an object in the sun will heat to over a hundred degrees Celsius.
So we'll just spacetravel at night. Problem solved.
Maybe now that I've solved yet another problem of theirs NASA will reconsider my application.

As honorable as it may be for you to defend pedos, I don't think you have much of an idea about satanism. Bad example.
One group of people (pedos) have a disease/illness/major malfunction which makes them want to fuck little kids. The other has a legitimate belief system that is more logical than that of most xianists.
One group can claim all of the world's child molesters. One is still ostricized and burned at the stake in many countries.
I think a better example would be psychopaths. You don't nail many psychopaths. Over 1% of the population are psychopaths. They do account for 50-60% of violent crimes, though, but the majority of psychopaths are not violent (subclinical cases).
I've already done that a few times. I just had to pay more. Still a lot cheaper than these damned robots, though. Although there's probably less of a chance that I would've gotten that rash from a couple of hot androids.
I'm not sure what exactly you do for a living, but if you don't mind working for the DoD, the number of jobs available (especially on Okinawa) are absolutely amazing. There is just such a large military presence and so many support jobs. They're not a terrible employer, and there is a lot of fun to be had in Okinawa. It's a little smaller and less party-like than mainland, but I've always found it worthwhile.
While what you said is true overall, it is extremely easy for dark-skinned people to get in bed with japanese women. I'm not sure if they do it out of rebellion, to piss off their parents, or because of the increasing popularity of hiphop, but it's pretty much a gurantee that the cutest girls in most highschools and unviersities are dating black american military men stationed here.
Not that I'm complaining, but it's the truth. A black guy can sit in a bar for 10 minutes and walk out with three phone numbers. The parents usually get furious, though.
So did I, but I wouldn't say the $100 T-bill from my grandfather helped me become a millionaire very much...
I'm just saying, maybe he inherited some money, but you gotta give a man credit for going from, say $50M, to, say, $50B. If it were that easy we'd have a lot of our current millionaires becoming billionaires. And no, I'm not sure how much money Mr. Gates inherited, but I'm sure it was well under the billion mark, and that's some impressive growth that even the average spam doesn't promise you.
Unless you have a phone with a recorder builtin, or do your own splicing to have the speaker wires going into a recorder first... Hence it is STILL subject to one of the simplest attacks on POTS.
I agree with you to an extent, and agree with the people who replied to you even more so. The one thing I have to point out, though, is:
Capital - The nations wealth belongs to a sub 5% of americans. Always same group of crusty old white guys.
Now come on. "Re: Bill Gates" is the SUBJECT of your post. He's our richest man now, right? And he's not old money, he's new money. Let's look at some of america's richest people. Some billionaires:
Bill Gates - new money Michael Dell - new money, college dropout, has a GED Ralph Lauren - new money, middle-class parents, grew up in the bronx. Kirk Kerkorian - new money, lower-class parents, armenian immigrants.
I don't know the current numbers, but I do know that in 1996 only 31% of billionaires had inherited their wealth.
And it really belongs more to about 1% of americans.:)
Oh, one more point. There is now a black, female billionaire. Yup, Oprah Winfrey. She's a billionaire, has been since '03.
If you just look at major brands you know: Ikea, McDonalds, Microsoft, Dell, HP, etc., and find out who their founders are, you'll have a fairly accurate list of billionaires. Most of them founded a company in the last 20 or 30 years that has since taken off and made them billions, or at least made their stock worth billions. I'd hardly call this the "same group of crusty old white guys".
It would be illegal (both in the US and many other countries) for Microsoft to say that just as it would be illegal if the Pepsi deal had been theat the 7/11 could only sell pepsi.
Most public schools collect small, uhh, donations from either Pepsi or Coca-Cola. I know when I was in HS the school got something like $200 per machine per year, and they DID have an exclusivity agreement saying "company X is the sole servicer of vending machines on this campus, blah blah blah" which equated to "company X is the only company that can have or maintain soda machines on this campus". It's been done for years there, and made it such that students only have a crappy choice. Even if they lobbied the administration to switch from coke to pepsi, they'd still only be allowed to have vending machines with unhealthy, overpriced soda in it.
The school would not part with this contract because they needed the additional funds. The additional funds were probably.1% of coke's sales at my school. This was, essentially, the school robbing money from kids and parents and giving 99.9% of the money to another company for allowing them to do it. I'd like to think that the school would be better off simply providing their own vending machines, or maintaining several snackbars in classrooms throughout the campus.
Evolution is an information processing system building vast database of information and synthesizing complex measurements of that information and doing an incredibly powerful search and mining of that information database to discover and refine improvements.
Wait, I'm confused.
Are you saying Lexis Nexis is our creator? Or is it Google?
You are obviously very unfamiliar with science. You see, the homoreligiousous is incapable of logic due to the fundamental difference in the construction of their pathological neuron connectors, which have no basis in formal logical progression.
Not only is the fact that "any scientific result can be explained by saying 'God/Aliens wanted it that way'" true and observable, the fact that this is so is completely irrelevant. Even if you could absolutely prove that Intelligent Design is fundamentally wrong and flawed, and show the history of every atom for the history of the universe, and all the laws which say "This is why it's so". It just wouldn't matter to a large group of theists. This is pretty similar to some people around the world saying America and Israel faked the 9/11 attacks.
I understand giving CPR to dead people, even after they're long dead, in a hopeless attempt to bring them back to life. But you're giving CPR to a rock, man. Just let it go.
And he's assuming that we can read despite his terrible spelling. He's also ass-uming that, regardless of the ODDS of picking a certain quarter, there would still be a quarter marked with an X in California. And regardless of the improbability of the quarter you pick being THAT quarter, there certainly would be a quarter picked. So you might have square eyes instead in an alternate reality. Hell, you might even have an ass that shoots lasers and a penis with radar.
As bad as it may seem, it doesn't come close to the Olympic(TM) lawsuits a couple years ago. I remember a burger place near mount olympus being shutdown for having an olympic burger. There was also a 1982 Gay Games lawsuit which forced them to rename the event. KutMasta Kurt was sued over his album Redneck Olympics. He was also forced to change the name of that album within the US, but was able to continue marketing it under the current name outside of the states. There was also the discount tire suit which forced them to change their pro-olympics logo. Apparently having five tires arranged in a certain fashion makes people think of the olympics, thereby causing "irreperable harm to the US Olympic Committee".
This is just stuff off the top of my head, there have been many cases which are much worse.
It's pretty much illegal to use the term olympic as an adjective in the US, in any fashion. You'll need a pardon from the Gods (TM) if you dare to do so in connection with any business or public display.
Actually the real problem is market cap isn't everything. What are they going to BUY the company with? They'd have to trade or sell a ton of their own stock to get the required cash for a hostile takeover. What's the point if they're not even going to have control over their own company anymore? Hell, Microsoft probably has more than the required liquid assets to purchase google, and has probably considered doing it.
Also, why would they WANT to have time warner? Just because it's profitable? To have control over an inferior competitor? It seems rather pointless to me, and google would have to sacrifice a ton to do it. Of course, if I were Time Warner, I'd be begging google to take over for me and give me some of their smarts. Imagine what would happen if time warner actually had a ton of smart people working for them!
Actually, it's funny that another one of these articles popped up.
I was just minding my own business surfing the web, and I found this really cool hack for windows media player. So I downloaded it and double-clicked it, and all of a sudden my media player started showing all sorts of disgusting depravity! I hope he gets Microsoft next! I'd uninstall this evil program if I could.
Come to think of it, I think Internet Explorer has a similar pornographic feature. I remember there was a goat-see hack for that a while ago, at least that's what I think it was called.
I think the next step is suing mozilla when a kid gets caught bypassing a firewall and downloading porn. What the hell is with this "your program can be altered to show nudity or sex, therefor you're at fault" crap? Honestly, did this just start, or have I been missing it this whole time?
Hell, if somebody ripped my clothes off in public, would I be arrested for public indecency? What if we were in our bedroom together, but a peeping 17 year old kid hid a small spycam in the room? Would I be arrested for providing pornography to a minor? If so, I think it's time to take back my country.
You're not the girl I met at the beach today, are you? Because you're teasing me just like she did. If you're going to discuss things like that on here, please provide some sort of a link to a signup page where you'll email us when there's an open beta. Something. Thank you.
You have to know the chances of me ever running into your next post providing a URL are slim.
To reply to "Since you're being picky", I apologize. It was a lot funnier with more alcohol in my system.
Now to comment on the rest of what you said. "Widely regarded as good practice" is probably among the weakest excuse I've ever heard. I would've accepted "I prefer it that way". But come on. Its widely accepted too right like this, give it it's extra apostrophe, and basically just fsck things a few times. Most people won't notice, they'll even tell you you write "good".
Of course it is widely accepted in the world of people who write good, and for very good reason.
I was kinda hoping I'd get marked troll or funny and then have a +5 response to me reiterating all the rules for using apostrophes and explaining them. It works sometimes and would be rather appropriate for this topic. I'm feeling too lazy right now.
