And if its about the economy, how about trimming that massive debt George ?
What debt? You are looking at the numbers? Don't worry about the numbers. Numbers are for people who don't believe in god, and europeans.
How comes the deficit is so high? The terroirists are playing with our numbers. Don't worry about our numbers, they have no meaning.
How comes Bill Gates is getting a huge paycheck based on company changes he made after we cut the tax on corporate dividends while taxes for the average person who doesn't own millions and billions worth of shares are going higher? You are looking again at the numbers. Why do I need to keep repeating myself? The numbers have no meaning.
How comes I bankrupted a few companies while giving others to eat up my costs? You are looking again at the numbers. Stop doing it.
What do you mean Saddam wanted to sell oil for Euros and not Dollars if we would have lifted an embargo because of price pressure due to oil shortages. He could have been more profitable? It's again because you are looking at the numbers. Stop fucking looking at the numbers!
Boys, go get him! He has weapons of mass destruction.

Consider that you work somewhere where you or a peer has never been rewarded with a high sum. Now consider that you work somewhere where you or a peer has been rewarded a high sum in the past.
Where will the money reward motivate you more?
I've never been motivated by money. The only motivation I have towards money is that if I don't make a certain sum, I can't pay my bills and I might have to live in the streets. So the motivation isn't the money, it is the fear that I would have to live in the street.
Passion for what I do is what really motivates me and money is a reward which could probably be motivating but I know I will never make a high sum where I am now so why bother busting my ass for it?
I didn't read The Codebreakers but it seems a little too expensive. I really like The Code Book on this subject. Much cheaper, and it was hard for me to put it down. It goes all the way into quantum cryptography.
Psychologists and handwriting experts were drafted in by the press in the hope of getting a glimpse into the inner workings of the prime ministerial mind.
Newspaper stories contained phrases such as "struggling to concentrate" and "not a natural leader".
That's why the pshychologists and handwriting experts spend a lot of time analyzing a doodle while Bill Gates is very rich and leads a multi-billion dollar industry.
It reminds me of someone who was explaining to me that there's no money in the cumputer business. He said that he was a business owner in an excellent industry. I later found out that he was the bathroom dude in a bar.
Since the carbon dating science is unreliable, I'm guessing religious people are going to try to make it a proof that the bible is telling the truth. There is no funnier proof that the world is not as old as the bible people would like to protray it. Enjoy! *** Fundamentalist Christianity - fascinating. These people actually believe that the the world is 12,000 years old. Swear to God. Based on what? I asked them.
"Well we looked at all the people in the Bible and we added 'em up all the way back to Adam and Eve, their ages: 12,000 years."
Well how fucking scientific, okay. I didn't know that you'd gone to so much trouble. That's good. You believe the world's 12,000 years old?
"That's right."
Okay, I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready?
"Uh-huh."
Dinosaurs.
You know the world is 12,000 years old and dinosaurs existed, they existed in that time, you'd think it would have been mentioned in the fucking Bible at some point.
"And lo Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus... with a splinter in his paw. And O the disciples did run a shriekin': 'What a big fucking lizard, Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw and the big lizard became his friend.
"And Jesus sent him to Scotland where he lived in a loch for O so many years inviting thousands of American tourists to bring their fat fucking families and their fat dollar bills.
"And oh Scotland did praise the Lord. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord. Thank you Lord."
Google is secretly using their pigeons for calculating the answer to life, the universe and everything. The Google Pigeons put Deep Thought, Quantum Computing (and maybe soon Earth) to shame by finding the ultimate answer in milliseconds.

The book is complementary to the movie. The movie misses a lot of the substance and the book misses some of the imagery. Watch the movie and then read the book right after. It's a great experience.
This is a refreshing contrast to the fascist model, where the state owns the code.
I think you got this a little bit wrong. In a fascist system, it's the state that owns the code on behalf of a select few. In a communist system, it's the state that owns the code on behalf of all the people.
Communism is extreme left, socialism is left, and Fascism is extreme right. Democracy is in the middle, which is a reality that is being blurred right now by republican propaganda in an effort of labeling the democrats as socialists.
You can dispute the neutrality of the article. It is called NPOV. As an example you can check out the wikipedia entry for extra-sensory perception (ESP).
Actually, this statement isn't true. In 1993 the world population was 5.5 billion and the growth rate was 1.7%. Based on these inputs you can calculate that the population increase is 250,000 suckers/day. That means there is a sucker born almost every millisecond.
The economy in this game is very extensible. Someone could build a new island and kill his market. Based on the article though, he can only sell 5 properties over one month.
This business strategy seems very similar to the one of DeBeers who is selling small transparent rocks at very high prices. They can do that by controlling the amount of small transparent rocks that are issued on the market in a certain time frame.

Wouldn't the gravitational spin of Mars which causes high temperature fluctuations be a big constraint? How would that be addressed?
Are you sure it didn't adapt to your watching preferences?
This reminds me at a very funny episode of The mind of the Married Man". I think it was Episode #12

If the Google calculator says it, it must be true. Too bad Google can't provide the question.

Should robots eat?
Chicken bones and guts.
Should they excrete?
Mickey D's chicken nuggets.
Should robots be like us?
Eat Mickey D's chicken nuggets? I hope for them that they won't have to.
Should we be like robots?
I wouldn't want to excrete chicken nuggets.
Should we care?
Oh yeah, the bots and us could create an eternal yin yang of bad food.
I'd really like to see a remake of that game. All the new 3D technology could make it a lot of fun.
