That would be a good movie. Trump starts out friends with Hillary with the plan to drop out but learns he actually has a chance at winning and then turns on her. Would be a comedy for sure.
Would be a good idea for a plot of a movie. They wouldn't even have to use Trump/Hillary- although characters with their personalities could make it funnier.
Of course, I'm a little skeptical that Trump doesn't actually know the difference I'd expect him to be familiar with STDs since he considered STDs to be his personal Vietnam [people.com].
He raw-dogged a porn star. Whatever he may have once known about STDs, his dementia has caused him to forget.
He also had Russian hookers pee on him- he probably pops antibiotics like some people take fish oil capsules each morning. Disease never gets a chance to set in because he has a daily regimen of Amoxicillin.
Seriously.. an awful lot of people have the money to fill their swimming pool with chocolate pudding , it would cost them the price of a car. But they wouldn't do that because nobody can swim in pudding, it's too thick.
It might be fun to try once... I wouldn't want to clean it out though once it starts to go rancid.
Bill Gates has kind of a cult of personality among working class Americans who see him as somebody who came up from nothing to become the richest man on earth. For some reason He's not lumped into the "elites" category like Jobs or Bezos. Not sure why, since he grew up wealthy and used his mom's connections to get an in with IBM and his dad's advice to take advantage of it, but go figure.
Not only did he grow up wealthy... relatively speaking in today's money, the money he started out with way more wealth than he has now. (no one really knows how much he is worth- but most accounts put his debts at a very similar level to his assets. He claims billions of net worth based on claiming his Name is a brand worth billions- His name aside, he may have a net negative wealth)
Sorry... thought you were talking about Trump... My error 100%.

Gates himself has strenuously denied making the comment. In a newspaper column that he wrote in the mid-1990s, Gates responded to a student's question about the quote: "I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time." Later in the column, he added, "I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again."
3 possible scenarios.
1) He really did say it. 2) Someone else said it, and incorrectly attributed it to Gates. 3) Gates did say it, doesn't remember because it was a minor comment in another conversation and the quote is taken out of context.
It's possible that option 1 is real and Gates doesn't remember saying it. It seems ridiculous now, but maybe didn't when he said it.
There's still people out there that believe Trump is making himself look foolish as some sort of 4d chess instead of the much better explanation that he is genuinely ignorant? Sad!
I entertained the idea at one point that Trump might have been a Clinton plant to disrupt the Republican nominations... that's obviously not true. It didn't seem possible anyone could be such a buffoon and fit the mould of a pantomime villain so perfectly...
Nope, Trump is the real deal. There really are supervillains in the world... I wonder if I'll find out in 2020 that batman is real too.
You know they're sparring now. He bashed Trump. Holy shit. What an asshole Gates is. I can't wait to see them make fun of each other's hair.
To be fair, Gates has messy hair- but I don't think Trump can win a war of hair bashing with ANYONE... well, besides Carrottop. Trump's hair is much better than Carrottop's.
As far as I know, someEU countries don't even publish defendants' names in trials in order to protect them since they're presumed innocent. Not to mention that convictions for more minor crimes typically drop off a person's record after 5-10 years. They're actually concerned about rehabilitation, not pure vengeance.
... and that's why the US has a much higher re-offense rate. EU rehabilitates, the US punishes and tries to ruin the life of anyone who ever committed a crime; regardless of whether it hurts us all as a result. Our criminal system is designed to cut off the nose to spite the face.
These people are scum, and the charge of extortion is good and valid. If this doesn't stick, I hope a class action lawsuit against these people follows in the civil courts.
Anticipate the word you want to hear and you will hear it.
I was pretty sure I would hear "Laurel", and expected to hear "Laurel" because I heard the explanation about why people hear different things. I ended up hearing something I didn't expect to hear. Neither "Laurel" or "Yanni" but "Yenny". I do not hear the first vowel as an "a" at all but rather an "e".
It's not even a hairstyle really, as my girlfriend explained to me those messy buns just mean that the girl couldn't be bothered to shower today and if she didn't put it up it'd be obvious how dirty her hair currently is.
That would explain why so many men want in on the bun trend.
More like 5k for each sensor. Check out Sea-Bird - they make the gold standard for many types of oceanographic sensors. They are very expensive and very good.
With traditional oceanographic measurements, the most expensive part of acquiring data is physically going to the location from where you want to acquire the measurement. The cost of the sensors is nothing in comparison. As a result, you have expensive, high quality sensors being the norm. With these autonomous boats there might be a push to reduce sensor costs because the sensors will make up a greater percentage of the total cost. Time will tell...
So, it would be worthwhile me developing a fleet of pirate robots to plunder that booty.
Not really... I mean, it looks better on a girl, but even for women there are many much better hairstyles. Buns look "meh" on girls and "ridiculous" on men.
I'm pretty sure having your hair in a bun is known by the State of California to cause cancer.
The actual size of the phone is no larger than the Oneplus 5 or 5t; it just has a larger screen because bezels are being replaced by the notch.
I mean, I'm not buying from Oneplus 6 anyway, but that's because the company already got caught preloading spyware into phones, not because the phone's too big or some other nonsense.
It may have a dreaded Notch and spyware, but this is a huge advancement in technology. Having a headphone jack is unheard of in this day and age. I would like to credit OnePlus for their technical genius; I hope the research they developed in creating this phone will help guide other less sophisticated phone makers to be able to duplicate this magnificent feet.
The thing you are forgetting is that technology always progresses, so even though it can only "fly" for.25sec today, next week it will be.50sec, and by the end of the year 10sec, etc until it will fly for hours. This is similar to how the first computers had only a few bytes of memory, but now my wristwatch has a couple of gigabytes. Technological progress is inevitable.
In ten years time, we might be able to literally put a fly on the wall inside the Kremlin.
Yeah, it's way too early for us to assume we could detect life there- or engineer microbes to survive there, but I think a lot could be learned about early evolution, and perhaps some distant colonization of future worlds by observing.
Why even bother engineering? Just grab a couple different strains of extremophile bacteria from terrestrial locations with conditions that mirror what would be expected on Europa. One of those strains-or given how fast bacteria can replicate, one of it's offshoots-could have a decent shot at taking hold there.
I'm not sure if there are any, even extremophile bacteria that can survive Europa's chemistry; I'm not even sure (besides cold) what they would face, or from what they would "feed". If there are some that can find an energy source, and survive Europa, sure, use existing bacteria. I'm just not sure if any existing organisms could.
or some clown that tells them that he'll fight for them, when said clown has spent his entire career screwing over people like them, accumulating more than 1300 civil lawsuits against him.
RIP civilization. It was good while it lasted. Welcome back superstition, tribalism and savagery.
Are you ranting about Ronald McDonald or Donald Trump?
By the time we get a dedicated probe to investigate that moon, it is possible that bacteria and other small organisms riding Galileo could have an established population.
Futuristic goal: If we knew for sure there were no life on Europa, it would be interesting to send some select microbes (perhaps engineered to survive there) to Europa, and see how long it took for them to alter the chemistry of the moon enough that we could detect it from orbit.
A pristine wilderness with no predators, how long would it take a small sample of microbe to colonise most of the moon?

Are you suggesting a photo taken in the black of space is more accurate than a sensor that analyses the contents of what it passes through? I highly doubt a photo would add anything to this. You could perhaps question the accuracy of the sensors, but the fact that they detected water (something we've long suspected on Europa), not ammonia, or liquid nitrogen or some other unexpected substance; helps me believe that the sensor accurately identified what it passed though.
You thought pop-over ads and auto-play videos were bad before?!?? Hopefully this can be disabled...
Do. Not. Want.
I can think of a few legitimate uses for this outside advertising, but I know that advertising will be the main use of this. This WOULD make me switch browsers. I would not use a browser that allows such an egregious violation of my desktop. Implement this and be boycotted.

Truly a feet of engineering.

Yes, but can they make robotic insects that fly around, suck your blood, and give you diseases?
Until they do, we're at great risk of not being able to fill the Mosquito's ecological niche should it go extinct.
Many gas or diesel vehicles going down the highway can pull this plane.
Yes, but this was just one car pulling it by itself; not many gas and diesel vehicles. ;)
