I grew up in a Newtonian gravity household. Einstein is the devil. Space-time is myth! Anyone can plainly see that space and time are two different things...
Newtonianism is sooo 17th century. Wait a minute - you can see space and time?
what security are you referring to? I'm pretty sure photons are not going to protect you.
Dude, it's a well know fact that the boogeyman and several other dangerous monsters are totally intolerant of bright lights. It's also been demonstrated that tiny metal plates painted black on one side will flee from photons when housed in a partial vacuum.
...Shuttle is decades old and significantly more expensive to launch than most expendable launch vehicles (whether the reuseability, excuse me, remanufacturability is worth it is debatable)
Well, it would be debatable if you could find anyone to take up the pro side. Good luck with that.
...Also, how do they move that yellow line so fast in football?
I think they do it with two guys. One has a can of yellow water-based spraypaint. The other has a bucket of water and a rag. They just cut away to the crowd or the cheerleaders while those guys are running across the field doing their thing.
It would be so cool to witness an asteroid strike, or really near miss. Unfortunately, 2036 is about 5 years past my statistical life expectancy so I'll have to beat the numbers a bit to see the show.
The DST seems pretty comparable to the Y2K thing. There are some very real risks, but they are all fixable. Some are just nuisances like reports showing the wrong time. Other are significant like messing up work schedules for crews or causing batch jobs to happen at the wrong time.
I work at a very large company, and we're seeing a level of effort almost as big as the Y2K remediation, only on a much shorter timeline.
This is a typical government screwup: 1) create a solution to a problem that doesn't exist 2) neglect to study the ramifications of the solution 3) create a real problem that will cost millions of dollars to avoid/fix
I can't believe they keep pouring so damn much money into research for curing mouse cancer. I mean, who cares if mice have cancer? They only live a couple of years anyway. Why don't they use some of this money to find cures for human diseases or world hunger, or something?
Professional Hitman Mr Smith is flogging a survey that claims 7 out 10 people he has checked have a lack of police protection posing a medium- to high-level risk of getting them murdered. The police's go-to security guy, Mr Doe, says that percentage is 'sensationalist nonsense' -- and he's willing to back that judgment with $1,000 of his own money. In fact Mr Doe will pay up if Mr Smith can whack 3 of 10 people chosen at random from his survey list."
"Assistant Attorney General John Grossman called the light boards "bomblike" devices and said that if they had been explosive they could have damaged infrastructure and transportation in the city."
And if they had been super-advanced extraterrestrial warlords they could have killed us all, or if they'd been candy they would have made a nice snack. If some guy named John Grossman had been a total moron he could have become an Assistant Attorney General - oh, looks like he actually is one.

I saw that movie! I thought the nephew was the biggest whiner I'd ever seen. Then I saw a movie about his dad - sheesh, he didn't even need cheese with his whine. Yeah, that moisture farming seems like a really sucky life.
...and the armor can only stop 'high powered' guns like an elephant gun, which as another poster already mentioned isnt very high powered compared to say, the common AK47 because it's a larger bullet traveling at a lower speed, something easier for armor to stop.
Remind me to not go elephant hunting with you, because whatever you're shooting is just gonna piss off the elephant then he'll trample you to death.

So, what, it's a religion now?
Are you a born-again believer, or did you grow up in a anthropogenic global warming household?
Were you expecting otherwise?

No, it's just that once they said "Canada" they knew everyone would lose interest so there was no point adding useless detail.
If that thing did DSL I wouldn't mind having one.
Ha ha. Good pun, especially with the way you separated mean and time so it says one thing but sounds like something else.

That sounds so peaceful and relaxing.
OK. You just know that a bunch of guys are out there trying to figure how to get a wet bike onto those lakes.

You have a roughly 1:1 chance of dying as a result of your mother giving birth to you. They really should pass some laws about that.

Now that's entertainment!
More to the point; is Disney going to be DRM-free? I understand he's on the other side of the fence at that company.
Isn't that the purpose of boxer shorts?

I LOVE that commercial!
Can I be your friend?
