It would be interesting if the Global Warming priests would do something like this. Think of the knowledge that could be gained if they weren't so insistent about hiding everything, and making sure nobody can double check their results.
How about those informants that were outed by these documents. Once the Taliban get done "cleaning up" these leaks, there will be that much less information available to out troops. Information like this can save lives, but outing such informants whose families will be tortured and messily killed will cause others who might have been a source of information to keep quiet.
Maybe you enjoy seeing a pregnant wife whose head has been cut off and her baby hacked out of her belly to scare off other informants, but I wouldn't like to have that on my conscience. But, you're obviously a Democrat, so anything to eliminate our troops is a very good thing, right?
It's not like they look at it again once it gets voted on.
How can they read it "again", when they don't read them in the first place? I'll bet that the "problem" was not found by any member of congress. They don't care. It could be a law legalizing rape and murder, and they would vote for it, then stand in front of TV cameras blaiming the whole mess on George W Bush. The only thing they care about is keeping their jobs, and all the perks that go with it, but not in doing their jobs..
What's probably happened is that Ms. Obama found this pair of really darling shoes in whatever town she's currently vacationing in, and needs sufficient funds channeled to her so she can make the purchase.
It requires an emergency session of congress, because she needs the funds before some other vacationing monarch buys them out from under her. That would be a political disaster, to see a foreign princess walking around in her shoes! They might even be seen wearing them on TV! With a matching haddbag, even!
What about the Obama Volt? As long as you live less than 20 miles from work, and replace your batteries frequently enough so that your range doesn't diminish too much with age, and never forget to plug it in when you get home, and drive it every single day, you could get a maximum of 40 * 365 * 5 = 73,000 miles out of it over 5 years! I guess that's one way to make sure you don't put too many miles on it.
How does that stack up against a hybrid? Would most people require a second car for when they actually need to go somewhere? How much would the power cost per year?
Floating data centers are immune to flooding due to rising sea level.
Won't one of these be the cause of rising sea level, due to ocean heating? So, they get to cause the problem while remaining isolated from their devistating ignorance. Are they going to be driving SUV's back and forth on the ship too?
Start with a moat. When people come by to look at it, you hit them with your mind control rays. Send them off to empty their bank account into yours, then have them do sentry duty, and build more defenses, like pit traps. It's especally satisfying when you catch a would-be theif and turn them into one of your minions.
The only real problem occurs when they hit critical mass. Your minion staff is growing rapidly, and more traps are being built than you can keep track of. At this point, it's time to escape before you end up caught in one of your own traps. The mind blasted minions usually get confused without your leadership, and end up calling themselves scientologists.
the cost of dog food is probably comparable to most security system monitoring charges.
If you place something really sparkly in your window, your "dog food" will arrive on it's own. Or, you can just get people drunk and feed him their toes.
I've seen a lot of alien invasion movies, and all you need to remember is that if you spray an alien with salt water, they will melt. They are a lot like wicked witches in that regards.
It might be possible, but not worth the effort. The structural material and equipment necessary to maintain the vacuum would probably outweigh any advantage using helium (or hydrogen) would have.
You would have to maintain a structure with extremely large forces trying to crush you "balloon". With an actual gas, you just need a bag, and the gas provides the force required to keep the "balloon" from collapsing. Since a vacuum would only gain a small "lift" advantage, the simpler "gas" design would probably be safer (less likely to implode) and cheaper.
This is obviously nonviable airship. Just looking at it shows the problems. It should look like a wooden British Warship (cannons included) with numerous propellers sticking out the top. And the designers name must be Cid.
And they are still useless for most purposes. It makes a lousy spoon, because liquids spill through the tines. It's like eating soup with a fork. It makes a lousy fork, as the tines are too short.
So, they're saying this OS is built by combining the useful parts together to build one that doesn't fit any real purpose.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, it was 123. And if they also checked suitcases...
To honor it like we do 9/11, we should build a Windows Help Desk on the site.
So this explains why the Global Warming groups hide their data/programs.

I wonder what the author of this game thinks.
I it "Wow! Someone is actually playing my game!"
or is is "Oh no! My game is now going to be a question on Jeopardy."

I wonder if any of his insurance packages would cover it?
maybe he can hire some lawyers and sue?
Or he might be able to get a grant from one of the many Obama economic stimulus funds.

Just make sure you have a recipe for clam chowder on hand. They can't get upset over someone making dinner, can they?
What happens when they pull the plug on a site?

Can I drive it on the highways? Maybe this could be the Flying Car we've been promised!
How many eels does it take to fill a hovercraft?

I wonder what he tells babies when he holds them? "My dog is going to bite your toes, oh yes he is..."
Gossamer Orbit Lowering Device
With such evocative words in the name, like gossamer and gold, are you sure this isn't just a giant condom?
easily inflated in space
Doesn't change my mind yet...
it won't deflate or break the junk into smaller, less manageable bits.
Umm, still sounds gross...
You have a dog that is known to EAT YOU when you get drunk. Do you keep the dog and wait until you get drunk again, to see what else he eats?
