I want to see something like 4.10. Gimme more subwoof. The scripts are all so crappy who cares about the dialog. Just let us FEEL the action. When Samuel L blows somebody up I want my head to explode, too.
And how many ricks of wood did grandpa use to run the still? Now add the amount of fuel that was used to run the tractor when he tilled, planted, and harvested the corn. Just for fun try running a still off of the ethanol it produces. Oops.
>>having to carry fuel to perform all the deceleration by thrust makes the probe heavier, which increases the amount of fuel required (lather, rinse, and repeat).
The Deep Space 1 probe did a fine job of landing on a small asteroid. It used an ion thruster and carried almost no fuel compared to most spacecraft.
They just keep throwing millions of dollars into all of this computer research. That money could have been used to feed hungry people, or find a cure for AIDS.
Wait, this is a discussion about computers, not space exploration. Never mind.
Dvorak has determined that red apples are a conspiracy against green apples. "There's no other explanation for the fact that no red apples are green", said Dvorak in a recent interview.
No one ever seems to notice that in Brave New World it was the independent thinkers who caused/experienced all the problems. The Deltas and Gammas had a great life - at least from their perspective.
No news here. Disney's animation success has long been based on repackaging old stories. It's been a widely-known strategy since Snow White,and is discussed in their own documentaries.
...There's five Ss about Tsukuba that everyone should know:
1. Science
2. Study
3. Sports
4. Sex
5. Suicide...As for myself, I've been doing 3 and 4,...
Don't lie. You're posting on slashdot. Everyone knows you haven't been doing either #3 or #4.
Heck, I can throw a rock faster than the Earth travels through space - as long as I'm at the equator, the local time is near midnight, and I'm throwing the same direction as the Earth is traveling. And don't go trying to get relativistic on me.
Actually, our moon doesn't technically seem to be named anything. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), which many people consider to be the authority on such matters, doesn't seem to have any documents that specify what our moon's name is. Some of their documents use the name Moon with a capital M (eg. "Report of the IAU/IAG Working Group on Cartographic Cordinates and Rotational Elements of the Planets and Satellites: 2000" http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Projects/ISPRS/PREPRI NTS/index_preprints.html), and I've read that they recommend the use of the name Moon.

Well, yes, those ideas sound pretty good, but HAVE YOU MET ANY PEOPLE LATELY?
Sadly, I think the big-ring-in-the-sky idea is probably a lot easier to accomplish.
You forgot images.google.com.

>>...exactly how we are different from the machines in the Matrix?
They were imaginary characters in a Hollywood movie. We're real people. Or maybe not, depending on your existentialist leanings.
I remember that article. It's probably the best writing I've ever seen on the internet.

When I'm not working on computers I'm usually playing video games. Does that count?
BTW: Any fabric store has darning needles and silk thread, but super glue is a lot quicker and easier.
Wow! That's awesome. If I weren't already married I'd be asking if your wife has a sister.
My wife and her family are big DIYers, as is mine, but these people sound like DIY gods.

Oh. I thought it said METH to Crack... And the headline still made sense.

...would be pretty offended about being compared to Dvorak, as would the psychics who publish in the Equirer

You're right "Santa Clause" isn't real. It's just a movie.
Santa Claus, although no longer extant, is quite real and well documented at your local library. Do the research.
Glad I'm not the only one. Thought maybe there was something in my meatloaf when I tried to read it.
I do believe our own moon is named Luna...

There aren't any kilometres in a litre you doofus.
There is effective treatment available for your reading disorder.

Or they could just go ahead and kick mine now. Sight would be an unneeded advantage.
