Hey, you aren't supposed to look behind the curtain! The mighty Wizard of Algore sees all, and knows all! You aren't supposed to criticize his most wonderous pronouncements! And everyone who listens to the news knows, whales and dolphins are much smarter than humans. Just look at how much more advanced their technology is compared to ours!
How long before someone decides that we need to do a DNA makeover so that we humans will produce whale shit?
Your children will sit down, and drop a half-ton of half digested krill. Combine this with those low-flush toilets mandated by law, and you just know that a disaster is just waiting to happen.
Creative computing was a fun, and interesting magazine until it decided to become a joystick comparison magazine. They lost interest in programming, and became a hardware review magazine. Same thing that happened to Byte later.
I gave up on DDJ when they were filling the magazine with articles on "how to wrap xxx in mfc classes". You'd get several of these, and article on getting around Microsoft bugs, how to use some Microsoft functions, a couple of articles on interfacing with Windows through Java, and letters to the editor. Since I wasn't interested in Windows, very little of the magazine was useful to me. Did they ever get beyond their MicroSoft slant?
Make started out intresting. Had articles about creating demonstration moters using a battery,paperclips, and wire. When they started putting in articles about randomally adding wires/components to music devices create strange sounds, I began to lose interest. When the articles never got any better, I gave up on it.
Simpler option. Just make a trough of this stuff. Pump oil/water mix in one end, and let it flow to the other, with the water leaking out of the trough. On the other end, you will have relatively pure oil remains, which you can pump into a tanker.
How about the news become something other than just spitting out government propaganda? It's obvious that there is only one source for most of the news, when all the media comes up with the same stupid quotes, verbatum. Remember when all the media became concerned about "gravitas"? It's amazing that they all came up with the exact same weird word on the same day covering the same person.
You see the same thing, over and over. It's obvious that they are all being fed these comments. They all show the same news articles, and go on to ignore other important information. They might as well all change their name to "Pravda", and get it over with.
Back in the day, we had 30+ users on a PDP-11/70, with good response. Now you have a machine 3000X faster, and have problems supporting a single user. Aren't advances in technology amazing?
If you, like me, are planning on taking over the world, and converting the entire population into mindless zombie slaves, the more monitors you have the better. Controlling all those zombies takes a lot of real estate.
We used to joke about things like RSTS watches, when the PDP-11/70 was the latest and greatest machine for that. I could probably make one now if I wanted.
Wait... what did they think was going to happen? The horses were going to freak out upon seeing a carriage with no horse in front of it?
I believe that the actual idea was to make it impossible to use one of these vehicles. If you constantly have to disassemble your car during a trip then reassemble it, you'll probably choose to take your horsey-carriage instead of the horseless one.
You can see similar laws being passed today, in order to support unions and illegal aliens.

I know where you can get a lot of oil, but it might be a bit salty...

Trust, but verify
It would be nice to get something like this in the US.

That's great, if you have a GameCube or a Wii.
Skies of Arcadia?
I'm sorry, I just can't see a can of tuna eating my brains. I guess tuna in the can sorta looks like brains.

Looks like he had an advance copy of this stuff.

On which page does the Holey Hand Gernade first make it's appearance?
This just proves how far CGI has gotten. They've been able to shut down the California sound stage.
Obviously photoshopped
Top kill didn't work in the gulf, why do you think it would work here?

I don't think so. My unicycle doesn't get stolen 30 seconds after I get on it.
OMG Ponies!
This new estimate just makes the job easier.
