I often bemoan the existence of the "snooze" button.
My line of thinking on the snooze button is: If your alarm goes off, and you have time to hit the snooze button without it mattering, stop setting the alarm early. The fact it's an alarm means nothing if people can say "oh I can wait 10 more minutes".
I also have to submit to a blood test for nicotine, and get a note from my doctor saying I'm not suffering from depression.
Are there any other medical conditions you are forbidden from having?
He's also not allowed to be less that 6'0" or taller than 6'2", can only consume vegetables on days that are prime numbers, and is not allowed to smile if he sees puppies. The employers don't seem to make the connection between that last one and depression.
So the new shuttles will have decals on them like NASCAR? Will we hear over the radios "Houston, we have a problem, but first a message from our sponsors"? Maybe every 10 minutes in the colony they play an announcement saying "This next 10 minutes of being able to breathe brought to you by $COMPANY".
I don't remember where I saw this, so I'm sorry to whoever's idea I'm ripping off.
We should have to vote for every candidate on a scale of 1-5 or so, with 1 being "Hell no" and 5 being highest support. Throw parties right out the window. Candidate with the highest average gets to be president, 2nd highest average is vice president. Yes, there are a number of things that can go wrong with this system, but the idea is to get leadership everyone can at least deal with.
The schools should go along with it. Make the parents send money with their kid every time they're going to sing in class. Charge admission to recitals to make it clear that you have to pay for licensing to hear your kid sing. In fact, make the kids hand the money over themselves, and tell them that every time they want to sing something they have to give money away. Maybe if it gets ridiculous enough people will notice.
Maybe survival, but wouldn't you think that anything registering "close enough" wasn't too dangerous to spend more time looking at, and anything that wasn't human would be immediately recognizable? I don't think anyone's going to mistake a cheetah for a person. One says "possible friend" and the other says "you're dead before you realize it's a cheetah"
Why should mastercard care if they're being used on websites that "host pirated..."? They still get to collect their fees. I thought that was all that mattered nowadays.
Slashdot Mirror
It always amuses me to think of servers and networking equipment melting whenever I see a slashdotting.
Or assassinated by about 51% of the population, who likes that no one knows what they mean.
May their hair be set aflame by the heat from the servers.

The story's been up for 20 minutes and no one's tried to imagine a Beowulf cluster of them yet? This is a great sadness.
Not a problem. YouTube doesn't "broadcast".
They're not a TV station either, but that doesn't seem to have registered with them either.
the obligation not to broadcast content inappropriate for children in certain time slots
Given the nature of the internet being worldwide, that would be.... never.
But seriously, how do they expect to enforce this??
Really, what's on Mars that can't be done more cheaply by building near earth orbital environments?
Getting farther away from Justin Bieber.

worthless for who? the president or the party that they belong to?
Yes.
I thought the joke was if the wife started looking good it was proof you'd had too much to drink.
Doesn't everyone just throw whatever they have in a glass to see if it's good? Why stick to established recipes?

Right turns, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about.
But the Party tells me that 2+2=5. So failing them all for getting the wrong answer makes sense.
There, that should cover about half the comments.
He also invented the internet, so he probably should be the go-to guy on this.
You're either plus or minus two for me to be able to make a Lord of the Rings joke. Curse you.
1. DO switch every don't to a do and do to a don't on that list. You are now a user.

Businesses have no problems at all changing or stopping your words.
