That reminds me of the Far Side cartoon where the pilot (looking out the wind shield) says to the copilot: "Say, what's a mountain goat doing way up here in a cloud bank?"
If it's anything like my broadband connection here in the USA, it probably goes to the curb where it is converted into 1200bps bisync running on a Zilog 8530 (not the new fangled fancy 85230 with data FIFOs).
There is the widely reported unemployment number (5-6%) which does not include all of the unemployed. Then there is the real (but rarely unreported) unemployment number which is now in the double digits. This is from the BLS, not some made up partisan blog.
I've got something in my front pocket for you.
Why don't you reach down in my pocket and see what it is?
Then grab onto it, it's just for you.
Give a little squeeze and say: "How do you do?"
They knew this was a hazard going in (temp rising), they talked about the possibility before the first trials and they successfully designed systems to shutdown before causing damage. This is just part of the sea trials of the particle pirate's new ship.

Hmmm... in 7th grade all I got was a psychotic coach telling me to do laps.
I'm sure the kid is smart, but clearly he had substantial input and steering from some top adults in the field. Not exactly a 'super genius 12 year old changes world' story.
...merely being Christian is enough to get you kicked out of the Royal Society.
Well, no. That is not true at all.
It sucks that his quotes were misinterpreted and he chose to step down to avoid the resulting controversy. But this was a reaction to the misperception that he was pushing creationism into science education, not just the fact that he was Christian. While I am embarrassed that such an ill informed fuss was made, I can understand it as there are plenty of people repeatedly trying to do just that: push creationism into science education. After defending against this again and again, I can see why supporters of science are a little trigger happy.
A closer analogy would be seizing all businesses in an office building because one of the businesses was engaged in alleged illegal activity. Your guilty because you rent facilities from the same provider as the target of the government action.
I don't want the USA to have any of my little pink bunnies
I suspect we would just pay a defense contractor hundreds of billions of dollars to develop our own bunnies with huge, powered exoskeletons and razor sharp teeth.
Then our enemies would be all like: "Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny..."

Maybe we should fall back to the lead variety.
So says anonymous internet tough guy Sponge Bath.

...a war here or a housing bust there
Too high to go to war, and excess housing converted to hookerterias?
I nominate Ethanol-fueled as the Happy Fun Time party presidential candidate.
A vote for HFT is a vote for fiscal responsibility.

Yes, China is not really communist any more.
Wish I had mod points for this.

Of course, that's the arm I use to reach for the Cheetos.
They call their space travelers "Yuhangyuan".
Yooha... yoohangee... uh... Taikonaut it is then!
Canadian Beavernaut?
Isn't that some greasy North of the border porn?
Well, no. That is not true at all.

It comes at you so fast, the BSOD is blue shifted to purple.
Assuming he means Emacs, then this is the way God intended it to be.
Obama Answer: Increased funding for bandwidth and servers.
McCain Answer: Pray to Jebus

And since when is total isolation natural?
So typed the AC in his parents basement before clicking submit.

Penthouse . . .and a deck of cards.
I think you will find that tissues are more absorbent than cards.
