Maybe you should have read the user agreement more carefully.
"We retain the right to alter the agreement for any damn reason we see fit at any time. Pray that we don't alter the agreement further. Any claims to be resolved by the laws of the state of Delaware by a mediator of our choosing, who you will pay for. You have no rights. Those are reserved for corporations, not people. Just hand over the money and nobody needs to get hurt. Click-through agreements aren't enforceable. But we can use them to bully you into not exercising your non-existent rights."
Screw this "gas station in space" concept, I want a refinery in space. SPSS + particle accelerator = antimatter. hell, a electrodynamic tether generator might be worth trying, too. And it's probably going to be easier to store that antimatter up there in space to boot. Then we can start going places fast(er).
What idiot designed a computerized system that didn't require human interaction to unlock the doors ?! I mean, people could just go in and walk out with anything if nobody was working there. Oh wait, they did...
Guess what, America? If someone else is willing to do your job for a quarter of what you are, well, they are going to get the job and you aren't going to. That's what you get for pricing yourselves out of the market. There's nothing wrong with that - it's simple economics. Either you compete with the world's best, or you suffer the loss of those industries and all that they bring to your economy.
Strangely, for some reason, this doesn't seem to apply to finance or management...
This is exactly what happened in the US. We can still afford to build cars here, Honda, BMW, Subaru, Kia & others do so. It's just the American-owned companies that chronically can't seem to cut it. Some people would point out that Detroit manufacturers had a union workforce, while the foreign companies steered clear of that situation. The people building the cars stays the same, it's just where the profits go that changes.
I just like how the submitter slipped by a story with a title that shows up as Bizarre Porn on my tabs in FireFox. I certainly hope a cow-orker doesn't catch their eye on that!
Unfortunately, you have to drive to work in a Mad Max post-apocalyptic mobile while fending off the gangs that are trying to kill you and steal your gasoline.
And eight months of the year, you have to do all that in the snow, to boot!
Cheesus Xist! Backup generators taken out again?!! After Chernobyl and Fukashima, I'm starting to thing these "nuclear engineers" aren't rocket surgeons.
Plants could be one color when one sun was up, then turn a lighter color as both suns were illuminating the area they're in. Then they wouldn't need to evolve, they could just maintain a dynamic equilibrium. So these planets would just be overrun with these weird plants, they'd never evolve televangelists to tell them that they didn't evolve from apes.

I bet that Russian dude that invented the lap giraffe[*] has two copies of that book.
[*] Funny story, apparently some people think what they see on teevee is real.

I blame Arduino.
I found a better price.
sucker.
You know, if we kill all humans we wouldn't have these kind of problems.
you're welcome.

that doesn't say much for the level of helpfulness of the employees when they are there...

Did the brownshirts electrically shock him for being uncooperative with their unfounded home invasion ?
I'm a traditionalist, I prefer my alien wimmins to be green-skinned just as predicted by Rodenberry.
better than if your cat eats it!
The real kicker on the ticket was that each offense must be reviewed by a real cop with a badge number.
Yeah, and those mortgages the banks are trying to foreclose on are supposed be reviewed by a bank loan officer.

Possibly unemployedman?
As God as my witness, I though turkeys could fly!
yup.
They elected Rick Scott.
It'll open up a job for someone in marketing who isn't a jackass .
That umpossible.
Edna Mode does not approve of this hair-brained government idea.
The Kanamits are not amused.

If there's more light energy to be collected, maybe they have enough energy to be mobile. But then they wouldn't be plants, they'd be ents.
Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
