I can't believe that you were modded down for that... obviously the mod hasn't seen the show, or he'd (this is Slashdot, the odds of it being she are pretty low) remember that one
1. Larger secure facility (new house) 2. Method of transportation to said facility (new car) 3. Consultants, due to the nature of the work, are generally higher paid. Lets just call it £1500/day each.
I'm sure I've missed a couple of things here as well...
and the seas will rise faster than the planning permission beuracracy can work its magic?
It isn't called a bureaucracy for nothing.
Just wait until we form a committee to look into the possibility of considering a tendering process for the production of the guidelines for selecting a committee to look into the possibility of constructing a sea port.
That is not what I meant by "only a theory" my friend. But thanks for jumping to the wrong conclusion. What I was trying to point out is that everything involved in science is a theory and therefore can be disproven or altered as our understanding progresses.
Also, I would like to point out, that the entire purpose is to question the validity of all theories. Theories are there to be challenged, because without them being questioned the Earth would still be flat, the Sun would still revolve around the Earth and all materials would still be made up of the four elements of earth, fire, air and water.
Progress is made, not by sticking to the status quo, but by questioning our assumptions and arriving at different conclusions via experimentation.
you used an example regarding the speed of light changing with time. I recall reading an article about a year ago, where Spanish scientists have proposed a theory that time is in fact slowing down. This theory is supposed to help explain why the universe appears to be continually expanding at an increased rate.
Naturally this is only a theory, as is all science, but it does at least explain why we would see the expansion of the universe accelerating. Also, if proven, it would cause a lot of other theories, such as the age of the universe, to be reworked.
Personally I have no problem with them doing that - on the proviso that they first install the CCTV into the homes of the politicians and their families for a 2 year trial. Wonder how many politicians would support it then?
Sure, and McDonalds is the most well known and available restaurant in the world. Does that say anything about the quality of it?
Well it depends on what you mean by quality. Do you mean quality as in "it tastes absolutely brilliant, is the best food in the world!" or do you mean the engineering definition of quality which is "no matter where you go, it is exactly the same"
Bonus 2: Can easily carry multiple micro-SD cards on you - normal SD cards are too bulky.
What the hell do you mean, SD cards are too bulky? I mean, FUCK! I know that the micro-SD cards are smaller, but even the normal SD cards aren't exactly massive.
What else don't you carry because they are too bulky? Wallet? Car keys?
I forgot the password to my RSA key, I need to restore it... how to do this with my hammer?
you can either: a) beat yourself over the head with said hammer until such time as your brainwaves have ceased (thus negating the need for your RSA key) or b) attack the encrypted drive with the hammer until such time that it has turned to dust, therefore reducing the problem to that of irrecoverable data loss.
While it is true that your RSA key cannot be recovered with a hammer, these two examples show that the problem can still be simplified with the use of a hammer
I disagree - the only tool you need is a hammer. EVERY problem can be solved with a hammer, or if it cannot actually be solved, it can be reduced to a simpler form
Australia does not have a bill of rights. Our courts have interpreted our constitution to read that we have "implied rights" but there is nothing set down in black and white, unfortunately
I voted for labour above the libs, something I'm somewhat regretting now (and not just for the internet censorship) I must say.
So all of this is YOUR fault! BASTARD!
But seriously, most of Australia was fooled by this tourist. Personally I saw the crap that our (Labour) state governments were doing and thought, FUCK THAT! So I stuck with the Libs.
Actually, I want an alteration to be made to our voting slips. All voting slips should have a question on the bottom of it which says:
Do you watch any of the following TV shows or formats: a) Australian Idol b) Big Brother c) Biggest Loser d) Dancing with the stars e) So you think you can dance
If they answer 'yes' to any of those, then their vote is burned and never to be counted as they have just failed a very simple intelligence test.
(NOTE: it is surprising how many of those shit shows are broadcast by channel 10)
I have to agree with you on this. Another similar circumstance is currently occurring in Victoria, Australia but with the water utility companies.
You see, we are currently suffering from a slight water shortage, mainly because of a lack of forsight from our political leaders, and we are now being told to use no more than 155L per person per day (in general, the average usage in a developed country is often around 300L per person per day) Since we are now using about half the volume of water that was previously used, the water utility companies are raising the prices per unit of water, to maintain their profits.
Having said that, if we did continue to use 300L each per day, our reservoirs would already have been depleted. But it still remains that the reason why they are increasing the cost per unit, is because we are all using less.

Also you'd get more K out of a stick of broccoli than an entire cow.
But the cow tastes better!
The entire cow?
On average - YES

He was studying whore-to-culture... isn't that close enough?

Come on mate, you forgot a few things.

2. Method of transportation to said facility (new car)
3. Consultants, due to the nature of the work, are generally higher paid. Lets just call it £1500/day each.

Someone should create a chronicle of all these Riddick threats. Who knows... it might someday make a great movie too.
Yeah, and why don't we call it "The Chronicles of Riddick" and lets get Vin Diesel to play the lead role...

That there is nothing you cannot solve with some judicious use of duct tape.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together
The general rule seems to be that acronyms are capitalized if the individual words they are made up of would be capitalized
Well, Ianal, but that seems like a pretty weird rule to me...

Of course it's AD. You don't have to say it's AD. It's 2009. It's not like anything happened in 2009BC. Well, not in Geneva

no you dolt, you feed the homeless to the starving - fixes 2 problems
I say bring on the hybrids, and don't stop with animals, lets get to cyborgging as well (are there 2 g's in that?)
yeah, I want cyborgs! forget the animal hybrids. Lets make the world of "Ghost in the Shell" a reality

If anyone ever needs proof that video games don't cause people to become violent and kill people here is the proof: Jack Thompson is still alive.
If video games taught violence, I am sure that one of us would have killed him by now, right?
