And then there's the software. My god, the crapware that gets shoveled onto computers. On the rare occasion I bow down to necessity and buy a laptop, the first thing I do is buy a new license to Windows, wipe the thing, and start fresh. It's damn near unusuable otherwise, thanks to the likes of McAfee, Norton, SomeDamnKidsGamesCompany, Yahoo, Earthlink, Google, AskJeeves, and every other piece of stupid bloaty crashy adware that I have to pull out root and branch.
So this is like Walt Disney being dismayed at the tacky squalor that sprung up around Disneyland and planning to have full control when he built Disneyworld. And then you had Epcot that fell so very far from his ambitious plans.
This is like a supercavitating hydrofoil. This is not like a WiG (Wing in Ground) craft. Similar to a cement mixer full of bowling balls falling off a cliff, it is loud and fast (and I assume can be dangerous, too). It is not like a ham sandwich. It's not a big truck. It's not something you just dump something on.
I know college costs have gotten out of hand with republican legislatures cutting support for education and loose lending rules, but I doubt this guy has a million dollars.
Actually, this is a good time for this young feller to be seriously contemplating the philosophical underpinnings of that movie.
Not to mention that most parts of the US are dealing with a large volume of foreclosures. Where I live, there are a lot of houses cheaper than $86,000, and while some of them are dumps, many of them are of good quality.
Not after the bank is done neglecting them. Shameful waste of resources.
I'd figure in a prestige building like that, when you flush the toilet, the sewage was routed directly out to shower on the little people below. Why do you think they have the helipad?
Iran is going to go up there and knock over the American flag.
Heck, that could be done by a robotic mission. It wouldn't even be that hard (relatively speaking) to burn a American flag on the moon. What are you going to do about that, mr toughguy Great Satan ? !
Obviously we need a crash moonbase program to base space rangers on the moon to oversee and preserve such great Human historical sites.
This is a bit optimistic... Nokia still has NO WINDOWS PHONE to compete with. The current models have an OS that Microsoft is publicly stating is not quite there yet, and current phones will NOT be upgradeable to the "good", new version that is coming real soon now. So if you buy a Nokia phone, you are getting something with no future in 6 months, or a year, or ???
Wait, this is the company running ads claiming all smartphones up to this point have been beta tests? oh wow.
I just saw a investigative report about this just last night on the Colbert Report. What's to stop Al Kaida from hacking in, taking over our drones and dispensing some Hellfire lovin' to the red-white-and-blue?!!!! Norton?! We need to base these fuckers in theater so there's not threat to the homeland from Anonymous.

Kin Phone 9

Gee, what happened there around early 2000 ?
More importantly, which way do your toilets flow if you live in Rand McNally ?
I don't see what hair styles have to do with anything...
oh really?
explains a lot, actually.
Lego is a corporation.
In America, that makes him a REAL boy!
Careful, that's totally different than a Real Doll.

Of course, the Burj Khalifa doesn't even have this. http://boingboing.net/2011/11/08/what-happens-when-you-flush-a-toilet-in-the-worlds-tallest-building.html

"Who's in your wallet" always struck me as a bit of an ominous warning.
The community needs to, err, unify Unity and Unity if we're ever going to advance the cause.
Except for UNITY. splitters !
FJ really is stupid to try taking on WWF. WWF sued WWF for using the WWF trademark. They don't give a shit.
Well, she's no Lisa Nowak...
So we're arbitrarily drawing the line at liquid rockets?!
I presume the STS only partially existed in your universe?
Iran is going to go up there and knock over the American flag.
Heck, that could be done by a robotic mission. It wouldn't even be that hard (relatively speaking) to burn a American flag on the moon.
What are you going to do about that , mr toughguy Great Satan ? !
Obviously we need a crash moonbase program to base space rangers on the moon to oversee and preserve such great Human historical sites.
> And they stole all our rocket secrets in the 90's.
Says an American - from a country whose most used rocket is running on a Russian RD-180 engine.
Ho Lee Crap, how off Earth did you miss the nearly automatic Goodwin play on that hand?!!!!
Here, it's not hard :
Says an American - from a country whose moon program was built by all the best repatriated NAZI rocket scientists.
Here in Springfield, what we got was mostly old circus animals -- some filler.
Oh good, now we can save monkeys from ebola. We were starting to run low on monkeys. /pro-robot
"Elon Musk" is a much better Bond villain name than "Richard Branson". The rest of your argument is superfluous.
I told you a dingo did eat my baby!
I'll have you know I look quite dashing wearing my monocle while giving some dirty privateer a through spreadsheet-lashing.

If the Mars Polar Lander crash-lands on Mars, does it make a sound?
