This museum was built by godless atheists who want to profit from true believers!
As a godless atheist, I have been interested in doing just that. A business with a lot of profit and laugh potential. I could literally be laughing all the way to the bank. If only I had the time...
aside from the 8 minutes it takes light to get to the earth from the sun for solar power.
Eight minutes? You actually buy into that whole "speed of light" thing? Bah! All those stars that scientists tell us are millions of light years away? How did the light get from there to here in in the few thousand years of the true age of the Earth? God Did It®, of course. If God wants to produce coal in a few weeks, He will do it...and I am going to sit here and hold my breath until he does...
those ALL came to be after Newt Gingrich became speaker.
WRONG. The first year Clinton was in office he did something that 12 years of Republican administration before him failed to do: submit a budget smaller than the year before. Don't think Clinton had anything to do with a balanced budget? Take a look at what happened to the budget with a Republican Congress and a Republican president following Clinton.
I distinctly remember some place called Mogadishu
I remember a president named Bush who left that mess for someone else to clean up. Sound familiar?
As for peace, Balkans war comes to mind.
A war to stop actual genocide? A war where the U.S. suffered not a single combat fatality? Yeah, I remember that one, too.
And our own government was doing the terrorist's job for them at Waco and Ruby Ridge.
Ruby Ridge? Are you kidding? That happened before Clinton was even elected. As for Waco, sorry but I'm not going to debate that one with someone from the black helicopter crowd.
Democrats, making life easier for America's enemies (Castro, Assad) for decades.
Democrats and Republicans, banging their heads against the wall of Castro for decades. Hey, it hasn't worked yet, let's do more of it! It's worth it because Cuba is so much more of a threat than China, whose ass we can't seem to stop kissing.
Considering Clinton is still treated like the popular Jock of presidents rather than the buffoon who's illegal and immoral activities left a tarnish on the Oval Office.
Yeah, all those balanced budgets, that surplus, the prosperity, the international respect, the peace. I don't know how the country survived.
Right because firing cruise missiles into a nation without putting your own people at risk is morally so much more superior to actually trying to change anything in that nation.
Yes. The idea was to contain Saddam, not overthrow him, which even Bush 1 knew was a bad idea. As far as trying to change Iraq, Dubya campaigned against nation-building. He should have listened to his own advice. Containing Saddam worked. He wasn't a threat and he wasn't building any nuclear weapons. So yes, Clinton lobbing some cruise missiles is morally superior to Bush's pointless slaughter of thousands of American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
Hypocrisy is, on the other hand, using Iraq's nuclear program as justification for a major bombing in 1998 and the balking when someone else does is several years later.
Nice try but Clinton's air strikes in Iraq are not in the same ballpark as Bush's full-scale invasion. Not even close. Thanks for playing, though.
E*Trade offers the RSA number generator as an option for their accounts. I held off for a while but then I found myself needing to login to E*Trade while I was travelling. That convinced me I needed to get it. How many other financial institutions offer these?
Because if he didn't, the alternative is that the son of god just died. That's not going to fly if you're trying to start The Cult of Jesus so you dress it up as "Because he died for our sins." Makes the new believers feel better.
The CEO in a corporation like IBM is never a dictator, never has sole authority on executive decisions, and is held accountable to a Board of Directors, all of whom also have a vested interest in the corporation (and contrary to popular belief, do generally consider performance beyond the next quarterly report.)
A company with as diverse stakeholders and as much volume as IBM has, will have quite strict controls on governance and management.
You clearly were not an Eisner-era Disney shareholder...
But that pales in comparison, because we're into the era where you can now advertise on one of the popular tech blogs or Craigs List for your own people to come in, ramp up, do your project (you make the mistakes), ramp down and go into maintenance mode.
Our CEO did this with our ecommerce site--outsourced it to some team ultimately based in Poland. We'll be fully cut over to it in July. It slipped a little. It was originally scheduled to be released in June...2006.
A better alternative to outright blocking would be to pass all Wikipedia hits through a proxy which, when articles are retrieved, modifies the returned HTML code to insert under the article heading the following words in large boldface: "This article may contain severe bias and/or inaccuracies".
What, unlike the rest of the internet (and Fox News)???
Note that the naïve prediction (the "prediction" is that they win the same number of games this year as they did last year) is much more accurate that the professor.
No. The Beatles made great pop songs that they knew were commercial ("A Hard Day's Night" comes to mind). That doesn't stop them from being great pop songs. Heck, if a song isn't commercial it probably can't be considered a pop song. Sorry, hardcore dude, but I can't listen to my Motorhead collection all the time.

Sorry about that last little bit. I'm trying to be less of an ass these days. I am not always successful.

Because AT&T hates freedom.
My mother worked in HR there for a bit... did I mention she has no degree?
Isn't that a prerequisite for HR?

I think Gates is just socially awkward. Have you ever seen him look comfortable in public?
Why the heck did this guy die for us?
Because if he didn't, the alternative is that the son of god just died. That's not going to fly if you're trying to start The Cult of Jesus so you dress it up as "Because he died for our sins." Makes the new believers feel better.
I have one of Scosche's wireless FM transmitters for my 2nd gen Nano. Mmm, bluetooth remote on the steering wheel. Very nice.
As usual, the past is looked at with rose-colored glasses. Also on the list, which you overlooked:
Some more that aren't on that page:
Don't worry, in 30 years people will look back fondly at the 00's. They always look back fondly 30 years later.
What the king said.
I'll clarify: post-Wells Eisner-era.

So you want super strength but at the cost of your sanity?

Without all those perfectly valid lines of thought I might have suspected your were just trolling.
Pot, meet kettle...
I'd love to see China come out and say, on the record, "The US has no history of agreeing to WTO decisions, why should we?"
Exactly. China loves to respond to U.S. criticism by pointing out U.S. hypocrisy on the subject.

Also known as 'shit 12-year-old girls listen to'.
