More importantly, what are those tracks in the dirt? Is this proof that there are tanks on Mars, or proof that the pictures aren't really coming from Mars? THE WHOLE THING IS A HOAX!!!
Excuse me, I have to get back to.. wait, I'm not telling you where I'm going!

Quick! Gather up your children and amble away as though your life depends on it.
Or just stand there screaming for a while like the steamroller scene in Austin Powers.
Seriously though, the energy of the impact is going to be enormous, not because of the velocity, but because of the mass. Given the choice, I'd rather have a pebble thrown at me at 100mph than a large safe leisurely tossed at me.
I'll bite: because the glacier is sitting on land?
I'm fairly certain the article said the glacier was floating. Antarctica IS a landmass, yes, but ice extends beyond the land proper along most of the coastline, as seen in this map.
Of course robots are going to win.. who's going to slide tackle something with a solid exoskeleton which will presumably weigh significantly more than the average person? Can you say "compound fracture?"
Let me get this straight.. You paid $300 to find $1000 worth of deductions. So you saved yourself from paying taxes on ~$1000, which would have come out to roughly $300. Unless that $300 included the other financial advice/services she provided, that seems like 6 of one, half dozen of the other to me. Not that I have any illusions that our tax dollars are used in the best possible way, but they're more likely to benefit you than your accountant's new Mercedes that you're helping to pay off.
It's no longer politically correct to associate a "Southern Accent," with stupidity. Please choose from one of the following:
1) The, ah, New England lobstaman. 2) Pleased to not be using an Indian accent. Thank you, come again. 3) It's alwizzy okizzy to make fun of da blizzacks. 4) I am le monkey de surrendier! Cigarette? 5) What's this aboot, eh? 6) Like, it's totally ok to assoshi.. assoc.. OMG!! I totally can't spell. 7) Arrrrrr, matey! 8) Wat you be sayin to Miz Cleo darlin? You iz da fadda!
Any departure from the above selections must be pre-approved before belittling may commence. Thank you for your cooperation.
From what my pilot friends tell me, modern planes basically land themselves. This isn't common knowledge because people aren't comfortable with the idea yet. Of course, these are Air Force pilots.. the same branch that has a/c tents in the desert with satellite TV. They're might just be more coddled than other pilots.
Messenger Plus is unrelated to Microsoft. It's a 3rd party add-on, and, if you read the author's website, it is not spyware. Simply select "I do not agree," to the question of whether to install the additional adware.. Nothing is forced on you, or snuck past you, unless not paying attention to what you're installing counts as sneaking in.
Here's a possible legal use. You could use it to.. get this.. change the color of your car temporarily. Always wanted to paint your car yellow, but don't want to lose resale value from sanding off the original paint (not to mention replacing it with a faddish color)? Voila. I, for one, welcome our new removable overcoat overlords.
I know it's dark humor, but what can I say..the tide was predictable, nothing or very little was done. Ok not everybody could have been saved , but even one life was worth it, in my humble opinion.
What about the life of one person whose home and loved ones are torn from them, and has no desire to continue living? What about the life of a murderer?
Philosophical questions aside, it's easy to say something should have been done in hindsight, but more importantly, it's fruitless. The establishment of a warning system for the Indian Ocean is underway, so perhaps loss of life in the future won't be quite so catastrophic. That's the best we as people can do really -- learn from our mistakes, or the mistakes of others if we're lucky, and carry on.
The United States of Amerika has the largest prison population in the world.
While your points may be valid, although some border on paranoid, the fact that the US has the largest prison population, if true, is not in and of itself an indication of a faulty system. It could even be argued that we have the largest prison population because we have the most effective and thorough law enforcement. I think that's part of it, but it's not the whole story. Other societies repress their citizens to the point where they wouldn't consider chewing gum in public, let alone committing real crime. If you have an overbearing government that you feel is watching your every move, you're certainly less likely to step out of line, or you make damn sure you don't get caught. It's not really surprising that when you give people freedom, a good number of them will screw it up. Whether or not America really has more freedoms than country B isn't relevant, since most citizens have the perception of freedom and act accordingly.
I agree that a 15 year penalty is ridiculous -- anyone who's spent even one night behind bars could tell you that 30 days is more than enough. Combined with the social stigma, loss of income, court costs, sense of isolation, probable loss of job (if any) plus having to answer Yes to the question of whether you've ever been convicted of a crime.. all of this adds up to a big pain in the ass, and is more than sufficient punishment for any first offense for all but the most serious of crimes.
Assuming that's true, it still doesn't make sense. If you put a wiper on and it malfunctions, the most you've lost is an opportunity. I realize weight is key, but you're talking about a simple device with the ability to extend the life of the rover indefinately.

Help me [tech4free.com] get an iPod for my 18th birthday!
OKAY!! I can't think of anything I'd rather do. Here's how I'll help...
I'll give you three words: GET A JOB.
Then go out and buy one, and you too can be unique, just like everybody else.
Why does this sound like the setup to a Far Side cartoon?

O'Brady's plan backfired when it turned out that practical jokers were willing to spend more money than legitimate advertisers.

Where's a +1 Funny moderator point when you need one?
Their system would uses repeaters placed every one kilometer
How the hell do they plan to power repeaters every 1km? They'll have to build a whole set of power lines just to.. oh wait.
How do you know we're not Sims, who've finally created our own Sims? Oh God, when will the cycle ever end?
That does explain the popularity of the Sims though. Our Player makes people play it until the urge to poop is overwhelming.
A virus gets a life, and life gets a virus.
You forgot to say, "In Soviet Simville..."
Think about all the web pages and applications that were displaying the odd five digit year. 11000 I think it was.
That would be an even 5 digit year.

Fact is now that you need _several_ programs to remove spyware from a computer
Or just one: HiJackThis
The NASA project was NOT named after the movie of the same name.
It was named after Armageddon.

And, yes, my computer is almost 10 years old, too. It's amazing what you can get out of old hardware if you have the right distro.
Almost as amazing as what you can get out of current hardware.
I've heard of cheap, but you can easily build a box that's 7-8 years more up-to-date for well under the price of a 27" TV.
