A) You've been to the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, and the moon.
B) You've never heard of any of the above.
C) You can recognize locations you don't visit.
One of these options is aligned with reality. See if you can figure out which.
That'd be A), I'm fuckin' Buzz Aldrin, beeotches!!!!
We lost free coffee a very long time ago, along with 401k contributions, bonuses, etc. On the cutting block this year besides staff and salary? HEAT. Originally each department was able to manage their own temperature within a 4-5 degree range. That's been taken away and the entire temperature for the company has dropped to the point where virtually everyone is wearing a jacket or thick sweaters in each of the departments. There's a good number of people across the hall wearing fingerless gloves. It's one thing to not be able to work efficiently by not having that caffeine kick, but shivering and not feeling your fingers is a real productivity stopper, let a lone the looming paycut.
I didn't think Scrooge & Marley llp was that big an operation.
It's a direct rip off from Asimov's Foundation series. The Gaia concept presented in the latter part of that series shares an enormous similarities with this movie.
John Varley should sue him for ripping off "Titan"
Harry Harrison should sue him for ripping off "Deathworld"
Most real Engineers deal daily with evaluating many possible solutions and picking the "best" one. Often weighing different and conflicting criteria in doing so. (Cost, performance, lifetime, social acceptability etc, etc, etc.)
And anyone who works in the sort of field where there's a right answer and all others are incorrect runs into problems when their starting assumptions are wrong. GIGO.
- the amount of energy required to move 2.36 Libraries of Congress through a electric field potential of 1 volt.
or to move 1 Library of Congress through a electric field potential of 2.36 volts. (I never realized LCs were charged particles before...)

obviously your reality is corrupt. probably leakage from a nearby universe.

Wouldn't a proper PKD-phone only receive calls from dead people who think they're still alive?
I wouldn't mind having his collected works for the e-reader on my phone.
lessee, apps...
gee, I didn't catch the "Android" / "Replicant" theme...
If it ends up that Google can't use "Nexus", maybe they can call it the Dickphone, since cell phones are a common e-penis.

it's going to take a lot of work to get IPoAC to work between here and Jupiter...
usually in more ways than one!

Sony's kind of schizophrenic.
They still can build some pretty nice hardware.
And their media division keeps paranoidly figuring out ways to make it useless so you won't use it to steal their shit.
You know they've run out of ideas and swirling around the drain when they think it's a good idea to change the name they've been using for 50 years.
Now they want to be called "The Shack".
TLYO,M
I don't know if I agree with this assessment.

no, no, no, no, no!
try this :
"This just in, Pyrenean Ibex still extinct." </Chevy Chase>
an Australian government
and one from the US Constitution: ... Try again, Congress.
Does this not point out a flaw in your logic?
He's obviously suggesting that U.S. Congress failed because it didn't order an invasion of Australia to promote the progress of science.
seconded!
for Science!

The Iron Mountain facility in PA is recycling a old limestone mine, so it didn't cost them anything (extra) to dig out the space.
there's gold on that thar Mars?!!! </2049'er>
Is Google competition for iTunes?
I've honestly not ever heard that before.
Google is competition for everything, it's just a matter of how soon.
It's a dessert topping and a floor polish.
As the little old lady tought Betrand Russel, it's turtles all the way down !!!
I think the intent is that you buy them as penance for bad code you've already written.
Which makes them pretty much unlike carbon offsets. .
Regardless of prior or future offense, it's an old idea: simony.
but that's only a venial sin, right?
So I only have to worry about being cursed with ridiculous hair?
I'm not sure I follow, can you rephrase in the form of a car analogy?
or is it smeat?
she'll never tell...
of skeevy Russian mobsters, obliterated supercars of questionable pedigree, handguns and paradigm-changing gaming handhelds...
