When you're a tobacco farmer, you don't much care what else you can grow. And you don't much care who you hurt with your lobbying. Or your product. See?
No, it isn't, if you don't get charged with trespassing by a private landowner whose property you cross. And many "illegal immigrants" came here with valid visas and simply never went home. There's a reason all the lawyers say "undocumented immigrants" instead of "illegal immigrants," and it's because they know that the actual law against it is a low-level civil issue and dealing with it is not only far more expensive than what it could be worth, but these immigrants are productive.
Just ask Georgia's farmers if they like being 11,000 hands short because Georgia adopted a deport-the-wogs law like Arizona's. Good luck finding a peach or a blueberry on the East Coast for a reasonable price this summer.
But if you wan to electrocute yourself by flying a kite with a wet, silk string and a key dangling from it, you will have to pay him a royalty first. If this was 1789...
But they had help. And the empire, while evil, was also stupid. Who brings two-footed walkers into a forest without they're the ones that can walk on logs?
Okay. Tide locking. Now "night" is weeks long, and so is "day". No chance of forming a persistently temperate zone. The proper conditions for biochemistry would exist for a couple of hours every few weeks.
1. Insane tidal forces. The whole atmosphere getting thicker and thinner throughout each day. Oceans sloshing up and down by hundreds of meters in depth - not length, depth - twice a day along coastlines.
2. Insane temperature variances as the "moon" is eclipsed by the planet for a good portion of every "month". Whole oceans freezing over and thawing out every few thousand hours.
So, really, being at an earth-like distance from a sol-like star is bollocks for deciding whether there's life on such a rock.
The app list is also a screen. It should do something useful there, too, if only to open a popup saying "place this on an ABC screen to get it to work right".
You don't really want to know what onelook.com has to say about it either.
I did kind of misuse it to mean "on the contrary" rather than "in spite of", which is its more accurate sense.
And you'll never get rid of analogies the way you'll never get rid of people who want to drive their cars despite the noise, cost, danger, waste, and pollution.

Uh, dudes.
THE INTERNET IS NOT SECURE
If you hooked your database up to the Internet, then you are the fail.
About 5 miles of New Jersey riverbank is due north of Manhattan. Very little of it even developed, much less into a toxic wellspring.
And behind that is some of the best parts of Joizey, if Zillow is to be believed.
Possibly the best example of how programming computers actually works, once you realize BASIC was crippleware.

Illegal immigration is a civil violation, not a crime.
That's what they say, but then, they know the immigration quotas keep the numbers of brown people low.
In America, the Citizens are the Government.
I bet he imagines a Beowulf cluster of bananas at least once a day.

Cigarettes are legal for the same reason Marijuana is illegal.
Tobacco farmers and cigarette-company executives aren't Mexican.
I have a Google Nexus One phone, made by HTC. It takes a "standard" micro-USB plug, which is used by many digital cameras and other devices.
In fact, a couple of days ago I charged it using the wall-wart that came with my Logitech Harmony 700 remote control.
It's operating just fine; except that every time I get a tweet my TiVo tunes to ESPN 8, The Ocho.
My Prius can outrun your Hummer, and if we're going over 200 miles you got no shot whatsoever. You'll spend more time pumping gas than on the road.
So that's Mister Hippie to you, bub.
If everyone's driving these, that's no longer a problem. It's the car of the future, and therefore a car.
"Life flourishes in our Arctic "
You're confusing "flourishes" for "developed".
The part about the planet acting as a heatlamp makes more sense though. It would be a huge moderator.

The bollocks are in your court.

Waiting for help.
Took me a second.
They don't mean a billion clicks.
They mean a billion different people. One seventh of the world's population followed any of Google's URI's at some point during the month.
Fuck.
Someone has to roust the iPhone drunks.

Isn't that what we're all doing by posting to /. from work?
Yer gonna haveter show me a link fer that one. Can't see it anywhere.
