My favorite part was when he asked that guy to give a message to deaf children about safe sex. Without words. That was really funny. Also Borat's guide to America, that was fuckin great too. Funny shit.
For all we know he meant a trillion trillion. People just aren't so familiar with numbers orders of magnitude greater than a trillion, and people often say "trillions" referring to quantities such as 10^20. Either way, I don't think Cmdr. Riker was quoting Data's specs. He was just making a joke.
What makes you say that though? What's worse about the effect of crack compared to the effects of powdered cocaine? Yes, I suppose the form that you use it in makes a difference, but how is smoking crack any worse than snorting coke?

An article is not a research paper. I think the fact that the article mentions none of this prior work suggests this is crap journalism.
I'm against destroying our environment, needlessly, because it supports us and an entire planet full of life. But I see no harm changing mars to allow it to better support life, especially if we determine that there is no native life to begin with.
Yes, I agree there is a certain level of hubris in changing the atmosphere of a planet, and yes, we would have to tread carefully. But if the end result is a lush vibrant (albeit cold) planet, capable of supporting human and other terrestrial life, I don't see the harm.
Mars is a beautiful place, and will always be beautful. Terraforming will make the planet habitable, but it will never be just a clone of Earth. It will always be an exotic, exciting and interesting place.
Destroying an environment and a planet in the name of greed is a terrible thing, and I don't condone it on Earth, or anywhere. But terraforming Mars can be a wonderful thing.
Your advice is very nice, but you're still succumbing to the problem the parent poster accuses you of. You assume that since you were successful everyone else should be just as successful. Tell me, how exactly does one who suffers from social anxiety exude the confidence that you're referring to. Just like the parent poster says, you don't really know. You give answers that aren't really answers at all.
All you do is tell us how successful you were without really knowing why. Sorry, that doesn't help anyone.
You might not realize it, but just because you were successful by being confident, whatever that means, that does not mean that anyone can magically become confident just by hearing that the answer is "to be confident".
Wait, so are USians citizens of the United States of America, or the United States of Mexico? You don't have a problem calling Mexicans Mexicans, so call Americans Americans.
I'm all in favor of free downloads (not only do I believe in it, I practice it!). But to be fair, her sales probably don't reflect the average struggling not-so-famous musician since she's in the spotlight because of the whole mp3 controversy. I bet if she hadn't come out about mp3s her sales wouldn't be doing any better.
Of course, I just realized, her sales probably went up before she even made any public statements about it. Hmm, interesting.
I had a girlfriend who was acutely sensitive to MSG; she got an instant headache over her left eye after just one or two bites of something. (My grandomother is the same way, and they both suffer from the thyroid condition known as Graves Disease. Coincidence?)
It's no coincidence! Your girlfriend is your sister!
I don't know exactly how Krazy Glue was developed, but I know what you're talking about. However, Krazy Glue doesn't "stop bleeding". It's a way of bringing the wound together the same way sutures do, for a bad gash. But if you're bleeding from your gut or something, and you're losing enough to die from blood loss, Krazy Glue won't help.

Pilots on fox (and any other network) rarely work out. Hence, Firefly's cancellation.
If you wanted to name a game with good AI, you should've said Halo. That game has some great AI.
Actually, 10 bucks on lunch is likely to be more healthy than a 5 dollar lunch.
Ali G got to ya, I see. Hilarious.

Best. Troll. Ever.
330 trillion calculations per second? Impressive, but can it run Doom 3?
Yeah, like she actually wrote that.
Of note, however, was that both smoked the same brand of cigarettes, and used the same obscure, imported toothpaste.
Which confirms what the article says: taste is genetic. Your study shows behavior is not.
If the DMCA truly allows reverse-engineering for purposes of interoperability, then whats the problem with DeCSS, and Linux DVD players that use it?

By the way, Mars has no ozone layer.

fair enough.
Are you referring to the fact that under the law it's illegal to use encryption in the course of planning or executing a felony?
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, I'm glad the law is getting such a cold reception.
Actually the Department of Justice has talked about cracking down on totally open WAPs. And who does Attorney General John Ashcroft work for? The DOJ.
My cat loves that too. He can't get enough.
Yeah, it definitely reminded me of the whole "AI Game" thing.

What does the name "Columbia" have to do with good coffee? The country I think you're referring to is "Colombia".
