It is every corporation's mission statement to influence enough of it's market to be considered monopolithic. It is every government's duty to responsibly regulate the market to protect their citizens from unjust corporate influence. I don't know what everyone's worried about... surely this'll get sorted right out.
You could do worse than what? Never having the courage to fail until you suceed? You don't really believe that... all the really cool things come from those who go, "Well, that's one more way NOT to do it!"
I am so tired of the 'Mankind's existence is valueless' bravado. We are a billion to one galactic coincidence that has risen to sentient thought and self-awareness. This astronomical concurrence alone is worthy of continuance. If we finally evolve beyond primal tribal and religious bickering, we can get on with off planet settlements... and we have still a cushion of ten billion years to settle other galaxies.
Strippers and ladies who accept money for sex with strangers, while not mutually exclusive, are predominately damaged and/or drug-addicted and/or predisposed to promiscuity. Should they be able to make a living doing what they do? Absolutely. Are they a bright, oppressed underclass of women struggling to better their station in the long run using those shallow physical characteristics most men find attractive in a woman? Infrequently. Do the night's plans revolve first around securing the means to get high and paying for that night's motel room. Very often.
I can buy that, in panic mode, a driver might be temporarily reacting to strange events and not thinking clearly. If you're still clueless how to shut the engine off with the key after an hour or so of driving, well, your cull is necessary for the betterment of the breeding pool. Can you say "Lawyer Up!"
Hindsight being on the order of 20/15 or so, would you make the same bold statement, or, knowing the consequences and repercussions, would you be a bit more tactful and attempt to reform the system from within?
But you can bet your sweet donkey you'll get your very own congressional inquiry if you're a shortstop linked to PEDs who hits too many homers. Congress critters only have so much time in session, so they have to focus on the really important issues.
Is not intelligent design an oxymoron? My human spine has smaller vertebra at the bottom of my back than it does at the top, my shoulder 'ball and socket' joint design works like the engineer went to Phoenix University, and my freakin' liver can't process ethanol efficiently.
Damn dawg, you're on fire. Two of the hot five! And what they added was a label: same thing kid's get at Abercrombie when they buy a twelve dollar shirt for eighty-nine bucks.
Continuing way the fcuk off topic, I've recently been enticed by the Spice we call the interwebs to read about this civet coffee Jack Nicholson drank in The Bucket List. Evidently, more than half the World's supply is counterfeit. Of the remaining available "genuine" shit, much of it is farmed from caged civets, so the heralded civet-selection-of-the-finest-beans cull is out the window. There are literally PETA-level outcries for the caged stuffing of these poor damn creatures who are being fed beans like a duck bred for foie gras. Do y'all remember "Beans, beans, the magical fruit..."
Nerds live side-by-side persons of merely average intelligence and are equally affected by evil governmental regimes and happenstance. We don't all write code for a living or live in our mother's basement. Hell, I think two or three of us even have women. Sit back, pipe down, and let the number of comments sort this out.
Funny. No mod points. Apparently riding the dog like a small horse is frowned upon in this establishment. Since I'm here, I hope you won't take umbrage if I offer a tweak to the new mod. Drunken Rambling should like the Ace of Mods...it could be used as in poker as ace high or ace low. 'Cause you know, sometimes drinking makes you real smart.
Multiple variant linear regression analysis is inclusion-free on the order of flawless a life changing asteroid impact with our rather inhabitable little rock will occur. Whether it is an extinction event or merely teleports us back to the Stone Age is irrelevant with regard to the loss of all human technology and scientific progress. A robotic presence during exploration is invaluable. Robotic slaves at the off-planet human settlement will be handy like a pocket on a shirt. Without a human presence, well, there goes our entire legacy.
Any possible scenario for a lunar (or Martian settlement) involves eminent loss of life and hardship, especially at the outset when our learning curve begins. One of the difficulties an American expedition would encounter is the high price placed on each American life. The Chinese might have an edge here, and could perhaps design equipment and housing without the quintuple safety redundancies that have made NASA projects so time consuming and expensive. Backslash is onto something though...nothing would fire up the US government's interest in off-earth exploration faster than a threat to national security.
Easy there... this is Slashdot and generally folks here who exploit weaknesses in security systems without regard for personal gain are on the white hat side of the field. Here's what should happen: these two will make their 15 minutes complete with a round of guest appearances on the morning show circuit, and if the story really catches on, maybe even culminating with a nighttime appearance on Letterman. If any lesson is to be learned from this breach by security forces, it is probably one they already suspect: their job is a hoax. It is impossible to keep an event like this secure and they are there to perpetrate the illusion of security. The Superbowl sites are picked years in advance. There are years for 'neer-do-wells to access the structures.
There's a very real possibility a couple of black men sneaking into certain events, for instance a Superbowl in New Orleans, would stand out even less than a couple of young white men. That said (with regard to the cat and mouse analogy), when you're playing a mouse and there's no real chance the cat will catch and eat you, the pressure and nervousness factor is an order of magnitude less than a real run at espionage.
I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved. _1st General Order, US Army. Heresay military studies of the time of my introduction to olive drab as a fashion statement were reported to suggest that privates with higher ASVAB scores (military IQ test) made worse sentries that those below a certain level of measured intelligence.
It's news for a reason. It seems unlikely he is strapped for cash, and as he's acting Executive Chairman of Google, a significant stock sale has to mean he's convinced the market capitalization for his Outfit has peaked. Often, if you look way up ahead in the distance, you can just make out the Captain running ahead of all those rats.

Welcome our new billionaire overlords... oh8!
We all come here for the less than occasional genius-level nugget of wisdom... oh8, and because it impresses the chicks.

Well done. +1 Crafty.

It'll be a niche market at home, initially attracting those who like to acquire the newest shiny tech just to have it.
