Jesus, man, there's a publication called "Orbital Debris Quarterly News"? That sounds so completely made up. Is there a pull-out centerfold every issue with lurid photos of space rocks? I can't wait to get a copy of this for bathroom reading, keep it right next to "Oatmeal Enthusiast"....
Lately I've been downloading Gilligan's Island. You should be ashamed of yourself. If it wasn't for your downloading, Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island would never have turned to drugs. Thanks to you and your ilk, she was busted smoking pot in her car, no doubt contemplating how illegal downloading has destroyed her life.
Huh, wait a second. The estimates for the Hiroshima bomb is 13-16 kiloton which would make it in the 340-415 megaton range. That's just 8 times the Tsar Bomba of 50 megaton the Soviets tested, and last I checked the world did fine. That number must be way off or the potential damages way exaggerated. Sounds like they need another German schoolboy to help them out here.
Volcanic ash, when mixed with crushed limestone, makes some of the best concrete. At least, the Romans thought so. That's what they used. Of course, they're dead now.
So if someone uses drugs and contracts a communicable disease as a result, you would not have society treat them, and let them continue to spread the disease until someone catches it who can't be blamed for taking unnecessary risks? Do you see the problem here? It is in society's best interest to address the health problems of individuals even if they got those problems through objectionable behavior. You can address the behavior in other ways, but trying to punish individuals by not taking care of the sick actually punishes the whole society. You're asking society to pay a bigger price in the long run just so you can feel good about having taken a punitive (and, as you yourself acknowledge, somewhat mean-spirited) stance.
Except for the fact that in the case of one plane, the one that went down in PA, some people on the plane were able to call out and notify authorities of their hijackings and provide some information as to the number of hijackers, weapons, etc. So it's true what they've been telling us all along -- cell phone usage on the plane leads to crashes!
Anyone know of it? I am using the Gruber Dark color scheme with bbcolors (see here), which is nice but a bit too much contrast. Has anyone done a zenburn scheme for bbcolors?
I'm impressed that this guy had the guts to beat the snot out of his critics. Most of us would B.S. about it or try to bluff our way out of something, but we just wouldn't have the balls to do that. I'm sorry, but that's great. It doesn't take a whole lot of guts to beat up a guy with no fighting experience who gets lured into the ring thinking the whole thing is a publicity stunt rather than an actual fight.
If everyone knows how much a disk drive costs, and nobody can find out how long a disk drive really will last, there is no way the marketplace can reward the vendors of durable and reliable products. And that may be the exact reason why the vendors are providing bad data. On the flip side, however, if people knew how often drives failed, perhaps we'd buy more of them in order to always have backups.
Who said anything about copyrighting facts? Or lecturing about telephone numbers? A lecture is generally something more than a list of facts or numbers. I don't think I would want to attend a class were the lectures consisted only of the professor reciting data without any analysis, discussion, context, or without putting the work into some sort of expressive form, which is what copyright law protects.
...and most college students can read on their own wow, what university do you go to? I want to teach there.
Textbooks are cheap. Now I know you're making this school up!

Here's a transliteration:
Bork bork bork bork bork! Bork ze bork bork bork. Borky bork bork bork bork...
But I'm stuck at the end. Where's the "Suck it" menu?
...with a sign that says beware of the leopard. They use OS X at Dell?(We're China, right?)
"Talk about a cheap suicide! At 75 cents, you can't afford not to kill yourself!"
Yes. What did you think performance-reducing drugs are for, anyway?

I didn't say the other guys aren't morons; I just rejected the idea that what Boll did "took a lot of guts." It didn't.
It should be "I can has iphone?"
"Cognitive Behavior Therapy"? Is that what they're calling it these days?
They're just pretending to be paranoid as part of a plot to undermine confidence in public transportation.
