    Do Muslims have to wait for the SuperKoran version?

    It's only a movie. It isn't real. It didn't really happen. Get over it.

    So, I can create a galaxy in less than 600 million years. If I do this, then nobody better complain when I become its Galatic Overloard!

    You should be able to tell by looking at the sample cover. It's about growing flowers.

    What they should have done, is just bury the nose of the airplane in the side of the hill with the rest of the plane intact. This would cause multiple reports to 911 by people scanning Google maps.

  7. Re:Man, that's racist on Black Silicon Used For Surveillance? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    To be Politically Correct, you must call it African American Silicon.

    You should never call prople like Desmond Tutu a Black. He must be called an African American.

  8. Re:Reality's well-known biases on Scientists Fight Back In Canada · · Score: 1

    They get a salary from their university.

    Who get their money from the polititions. I'm sure that if the government said "you must always be pro global warming or lose all your funding", that the universities would tell them to stuff it, right?

    Grants can only cover lab equipment, grad students (lab equipment), and experiments. You are not allowed to spend grant money on anything else.

    Those hookers and that cocaine were covered. It was all for an "experiment", Ok. We were just experimenting with drugs and sex. We've done nothing suspicious with our physics grant.

    Please provide some evidence to back up your insinuation that "Scientists" are... what? Bought by someone? Have some sort of political agenda? Please also cite evidence for the "growing philosophy of post-normal science", because, being a scientist, I have not encountered it in any of the fields that I work in.

    You mean, like if all the scientists were gotten together, and those that votes "yes" on the "global warming" ballot were given extra speial consideration during grant consideration time. But wait, everyone knows that "GW" has been accepted by all the scientists, at least those receiving grant money.

  9. Safety first on Ontario School Bans Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows that we are running out of IPV4 addresses, and as this address space fills up, the killer rays built into the WiFi routers becomes ever more dangerous. Sooner they will be even more dangerous than cell phones. We need to kill off as many IPV4 addresses as possible, in order to save the children!

  10. Lets do this right on UN May Ban Blotting Out the Sun · · Score: 1

    Instead of messing around with a simple shield, let's convert the solar system into a ringworld. With a little work, I'm sure scrith wouldn't be much of a problem. Especially if the Pac were willing to help. Simple adjustments to the shields would handle any GW problems.

  11. Re:Not thinking it through on UN May Ban Blotting Out the Sun · · Score: 1

    If they can get these into geostationary orbit, then Nazca will become a has-been. Or maybe they were caused by a Space Aliens shield.

    So, they think banning this is going to stop my nefaruius plans! Hah! My evil empire sneers at your pitiful laws!

    According to most of the movies I've seen, any diversions will cause it to hit either Tokyo or Los Angeles. I don't live at either location, so it's all fine with me.

    Remember that atreroid we deflected a couple years ago, well there was apparently a slight miscalculation, and it WOULD HAVE missed if we hadn't "deflected" it.

    How else do you think these super-criminals get their start? They obviously got hit with some radioactive DNA at some point. Not all of them start out as aliens.

    Actually, that's normal and healthy. You see, when a Mommy and a Daddy love each other very much . . .

    Don't bother with mechinacal devices. Just follow the "Princess Bride" and poisen them all, using one that you have built up an immunity for. Just watch out for vengeful swordsmen.

  24. Re:This is second place on Proving 0.999... Is Equal To 1 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I remember being told this in highschool. There was much objection, but the teacher shut us up by simply saying "give me a number in between them."

    How about inf - 0.1/10^inf

    When you are talking about infinities, most peoples brains instantly shut down, and they will believe stupid things.

    If we do the origional problem without going infinite,

    x = 9.99
    print x - x/10

    it will print out 8.991. A similiar thing should happen when you deal with an infinite number of 9's. There will always be (infinity+1) nines in the x/10, and only an infinity for x. With the carry, 9.999... - 0.9999... won't be 9, it wil be 8.9999....9991.

    When you have an infinity of something, you can still have an (infinity+1) of them. It makes your common sense explode, but it's still true, and until you understand it, you will always fail when dealing with infinity.

  25. I found one on Careful What You Post, the FBI Has More of These · · Score: 3, Funny

    I found one of those electronic thingeys in my car, with lots of wires plugged into it, so I ripped the sucker out. Then, according to my mechanic, someone stole my ECU, which cost me $300 to replace. And those damn FBI agents also snuck another one of those devices into my car. Talk about your bad luck. I'm off to get rid of this new one, so wish me luck.
