You don't understand, when conservatives talk about personal responsibility, they are talking about other people. When it comes to themselves, well they are inherently responsible, therefore they are able to do things like drive responsibly at any speed, with any amount of alcohol in their systems. Any attempt by the government to stop them from such behavior is an unfair impingement upon their FREEDOM! Tyranny, I tells ya. You can't deny a man the right to make a living selling unsafe products just because some people might get killed. It's those foolish dead people who are personally responsible for not being smart enough to know the product was going to kill them.
The flat parts of Japan are crowded, the interior, where the mountains are, is empty. That's why playing golf there is insanely expensive, but skiing is practically free.
Sorry, but Canada is a ridiculous liberal myth. I'm from Buffalo and the idea that an entire country could exist north of here is laughable. Nobody would survive 24 hours in such conditions.
Dammit, freedom isn't free. And if the price of my freedom to be entertained by buckyballs is measured in the lives of toddlers, so be it. And now, I think I'll go outside for a nice game of Jarts. Who wants to be goalie?
Yes, why don't you get started on that. I'm sure you'll have no problem raising the required funds to compete with the like of the cock brothers, and other plutocrats who currently write the law.
I've read more than one. Route and rate of administration are the two biggest factors in addiction. Nobody ever got addicted to amphetamines from taking a 10mg pill to pull an all nighter. And if route of administration didn't matter, then nobody on methadone would ever go back to shooting smack. But they do.
Around here if you wear regular clothes while biking, people will throw things at you because they assume you're either too poor to buy a car or the judge told you you can't drive one anymore. If you wear cycling clothes, they will throw things at you because you are one of those douchebags who wears cycling clothes.

That's got to be the funniest thing I've ever read on/. Seriously, it sounds like something from an Onion story.
Oh, and to get that much energy out of it, you would have to put at least that much energy into it. So far as I know, the only means of releasing the energy equivalent of a decent size atomic bomb in such a brief period of time is, er, an atomic bomb.
In order for a 2 ton projectile to deliver that much energy on impact it would have to be travelling at Mach 1093 when it hit the target. Which means the muzzle velocity would have to be much higher. And so would its initial mass, as most of it would burn away on its way to the target, if it didn't just explode on its way out of the barrel.

It serves them right for going straight after the large hadrons. They should have practiced with small or medium hadrons first.
Farmers do not save seed for replanting. Unless of course there's a good reason to do so, such as getting monsanto's product for free.
Saving seed for replanting is not standard farming practice. These guys knew exactly what they were doing.
And the most annoying tendency amongst people outside of STEM disciplines is the conflation of the terms hypothesis and theory.

Well, if it has the same energy level as a duck...

Earth's cat-like reflexes never fail to impress.
And if you're reading it on Slashdot, chances are that Slashdot has also covered it before.
Well said! You, sir, are welcome to play goalie in my Jarts tournament any day!

and in case you're totally brain dead, strengthening the rights of individuals is EXACTLY what unions do.

I'm pretty sure the second post on /. was something like this.
Zoloft and cognitive behavioral therapy? There have been a lot of advances in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder over the years.

They're only addictive when injected/smoked in large doses. And "abuse" is a value judgement.
Yeah those drugs work great until suddenly everyone around you is a cop, and you can't get the ants out from under your skin.

Anything of value will most likely be stolen by the shippers. Be prepared with lists and receipts to file your insurance claim.

Yeah, what kind of sneaky company would ever write it's contracts in such a way that you have to pay for their product whether you use it or not?
