The fact is that new types of bacteria appear in the ocean all the time. You've been watching too many movies if you're scared of this idea. Fear not, the bacteria will not mutate and infect all life in the sea.
Famous last words. I, for one, welcome our new microscopic petrol guzzling overlords!
where the fuck do you get that nonsense? Glenn Beck?? Obama's not changing the economy one way or another. All he's done is help solidify the corporate domination of the economy that existed before the crisis. Neither party has even bothered to try to offer a way out of that. Nonsense about "socialism" is just a silly red herring.
Gosh it's too bad there isn't like a big network of computers connected together with some kind of protocol for transporting information that could be used by the writer to distribute his works directly. That would be really cool, wouldn't it? I guess in the meantime the only way to publish anything is through the Apple store, but maybe someone can look into inventing something like this -- what's Steve Wozniak doing these days?
Suddenly, writing for Bedford St. Martin's is a slightly worrying prospect, no matter how many customers they have.
Sounds like you should try a different publisher then. Even if you disagree with their decisions, do you really disagree that it is their decision to make? Or should the publisher subsidize the publication and distribution of every book anyone wants to write, no matter how bad it is?
exactly. These people are not whining that Apple won't let them develop, they are whining that Apple won't subsidize their development before they even start doing any work. They demand the right to sell their app through a specific store, and they demand a guarantee that their app will be distributed at Apple's cost no matter how bad it is and no matter whether Apple wants to sell it that way or not. I certainly will disagree with a lot of Apple's decisions about what to sell or not sell through their store, but you can't deny that those decisions are Apple's to make. Portraying this as some kind of Big Brother is nonsense -- it's their damn store.
I'd love to write a best-selling novel, but until Bedford St. Martin's gives me 100% assurance that they will publish and advertise my novel before I start writing it, I'm not going to write a word of it.
There is a fundamental risk in writing new books: "Will customers read this?" This risk can be calculated to a certain extent. My concern with writing a novel for Bedford St. Martin's is that an additional incalculable risk exists, and it is simply too much to bear.
I'm trying to figure out how this affects steam-brewed coffee like espresso machines make? The filter is usually metal rather than paper but the article linked to the wikipedia page doesn't really differentiate based on the filter.
The moronic thing about this website that you link is that, apart from the goofy Welcome Back Kotter fashions, you could get very similar photos of people in Tehran today. Of course the mullahs are reactionary thugs who control the country with a desperate and paranoid iron fist, but the Iranian people themselves are not so monolithic.
So you're admitting on a public website that your friend is engaged in a data smuggling operation, carrying evidence of Chinese sabotage across state lines? I suspect you'll be getting a knock on your door soon.

What he meant was, after the massive corporate bailouts, the only thing left in the Treasury is some spare change.

He shared his strategic plan with me years ago; it sounds like he has filled in a crucial missing step:
1. Collect underwear
2. ???
3. Profit!

Can you explain how paper stops cafestol? That's what I couldn't figure out from the article.

My wife has no problems buying black eggs of any kind in asia stores in Germany.
Oh my God; the Germans are in on the plot too? It wouldn't be the first time.

We weren't talking about literacy; we were talking about manipulation of the curriculum. But since you bring it up.
this is news because now every file is called something like "borkborkbork.torrent"
Good thing that would never happen if we let private corporations run our schools.
Great! So does that mean they'll leave?
