Now is a good time to establish a new set of rules. You feel that its time to stop playing games and to take life more seriously. You have a new desire for love and happiness and see others have done the same. Be certain about where your heading as the universe will respond to your vision.
Funny enough, it reasons that the ratio of valid wikis to invalid wikis would be about the same as the ratio of honest people to asshats. (ceterus parabus)

It's not so much that gas is pulled to the Sun easier, rather than it's harder to get hydrogen and helium to stay solid when large clumps of it collide. It sublimates and it's momentum is distributed. This makes it hard for the gases to build up to the velocities that planets have. With lower velocities they fall to lower orbits, most likely becoming part of the Sun.
As far as Mercury, it is so close to the Sun that the solar wind is strong enough to blow away any atmosphere it has. It also has a very low mass, and so it has trouble resisting this. Any dust wouldn't settle into rock formations due to a lack of pressure, and would be hardly held down by the low gravity. Look at the dust storms on Mars, which is significantly larger. So dust and light materia are blown away also. This leaves a very solid, very dense core of nickle, and whatever heavy material might survive the heat of the nearby star.
Eek! A little ancient italian for you: Urbanus: A City Dweller Rusticus: A Suburbanite Pagani: Ancient Roman Hicks
When Rome became Christian, it was easy to convert the urbanus and not to difficult to get the rusticus, but it was much harder to travel the countryside to get to all of the pagani. When we took the word in english, we mistook it for meaning 'non-christian'.
I doubt that the ads actually click straight to their advertised site, but more likely to a redirect through the ad company. Google is probably all set to ignore this kind of thing, or else every search would result in the first fifty hits all pointing to ads.doubleclick.net.
I saw that "24 times the rate of banners" nonsense. They also said they just roled it out today, so I would like to see what their response rate is after a week of joe user wising up.

Fnord.
Her name is Gwyndows?
How unusual! Is she Welsh or something?
But is that freer as in freer breer or freer as in freer spreech?
(as in beer)
Oh, I see. But isn't the firmware available at no charge, but with a restrictive click-through? Doesn't that make it a free as in speech problem?
I always just left a bowl with a shallow pool of beer in it. They would try to eat it, get stuck and then drown.

To allow particle accelerators you need to expand your parameters a bit to include natural objects accelerated by man.
No no no, you're looking at it all wrong...
The particle accelerator is a man-made object accelerated to 0.99c.
You just have to use the electron's frame reference!
Google has a near operator: *
Only useful in a quoted string.
Example:
Thomas * Edison
I suppose that means the Earth is a Sagittarius.

If they did, they would just get this.
Blue. And if you don't think so you are a Bush supporter.
Red!
Unless you're some kind of commie.

It's just further proof that news cannot be created nor destroyed, just posted again and again.

Really, if you just try not to be so nervous, it can really help prevent premature detonation.
My favorite euphemism is restroom, like I'm going to take a nap in there.
Water Closet -> W.C. -> Toilet -> Washroom/Bathroom

I wish somebody would have explained this to my (ex) girlfriend's cute friend.
We collect old/outdated computers, set them up to run Knoppix, and then send them to destitute schools in Peru. Everybody wins.
