False application of statistics. If statistics say that you'll have a flood every 30 years on average doesn't mean that because you had a flood this year it's impossible that there will be one next year. The chance for a flood is 1/30 every year. No matter how many floods you had in the past years.
Same for asteroid hits. One missing today doesn't increase the chance of one hitting tomorrow.
Oh please, spare me that sob story. You think it's the poor that want to settle by the waterline, right at the river? Think again. When was the last time you saw poor people settle on an effin beach.
Fuck, I want to be so poor that I could build a mansion like those. Most of them had a pool in the basement even before the flood...
This is not America. Insurance companies didn't insure the houses in the first place and the government pretty much said "we don't bail out idiots".
Eventually they were granted mortgages with an interest rate that makes you go blind, mostly 'cause, well, they didn't have much to mortgage anymore...
Ok, now change that from "webbased" to something where I don't first of all have to hand over any and all info about me and we can actually start talking about what information about me I am willing to send to you (read: nothing).
Until then, my question remains: Why the fuck do you wake me with news that aren't newsworthy?

What I care about is whether their service is efficient and affordable. Why again do I care about where they get their energy from?
About EVERY halfway decent rock that hit earth in the more recent past was in Russia. C'mon people, it's SO damn obvious!
Ignoring the flash flood something like this would probably cause, yes...

Given the US, I'd say it would serve no good use but to get people to fall onto their knees, pray and essentially do nothing useful.
You have a truecrypt container? Jackpot! Plant a CP pic on it and get a warrant, 500 bucks ca-ching!
A court of law or a kangaroo court in the US?
If you think of the children all the time, chances are good you're a pedo.
Probably not, but it would explain one or maybe two.

You have probably not been flooded before. A flood that will deposit a foot of water will come with waves that can easily drown you.
What has your reply to do with the text I wrote?
Do we get to vote on that?
Hey, we did a survey among the MS VPs and there was great agreement!

What's that? Oh, you mean that crumpled piece of paper our politicians wipe their ass with?
Yeah, I read it. Boy, it sure was a good laugh.
This is Best Buy we're talking about. I'd already be surprised if they didn't take a cut of those 500 bucks.
Why, you think they only rip off their customers?
Unfortunately on hard drives there is no dust that would show just how long a file has not been touched.
Umm... the location of your valuables so he knows his way 'round when he returns later, so he's done robbing you before you're back from the movies?
C'mon, I can easily be cynical and misanthropic without giving a shit about global warming.
You passed the test. Carry on.
And as soon as Europe can only handle one problem at a time and has to work them down in sequential order you even have a topic!
You're begging for a "your mom is so fat" joke here, hope you're aware of that!
If you really want to be pedantic, at least say "from the stars that collided".
