You used to hear about people running shopping carts full of tubes through those old computers to replace the blown components and keep the machine running. Are they going to need to run shopping carts full of sharks to keep this thing running?
Just killing of the useless programs; like science, research, knowledge; and making available more money for useful things; like welfare, prisons for people chosing the wrong insurance programs, and registering people 50 or more times to vote.
Who needs those nasty science things anyway? All they get you is giant killer robots, and expensive serches for unobtanium.
Sounds a lot like that crappy wasteland that the horrible Columbus dude stuck us with. Only reason to go there was to get slaves and gold, which would obviously cost more than any possible return. No forseeable technology would make it economical to ever send missions there. The only intresting property there is this "tobacco" plant, which should be easy enough to grow in European fields.
Is this like those people who have an old car sitting on concrete blocks in their front yard?
What are the aliens going to think of us when we have these vehicles abandoned all over the place. Won't it cause property values to drop, having these rusting carcases leaking noxious fluids all over the yard?
Diversity may be fine, but I'd prefer it if they limited it to just a few variants for the netbooks.
Id like to be able to learn how one netbook works, and then be able to use any of the others. If there are to many versions, this isn't likely to be the case. It would be like trying to find a specific configuration screen in the different versions of Windows. you know where it is under XP, but they've moved it in Vista, and moved it again in 7, and it may or may not exist in 98. I'd prefer niot to follow that path in the Linux world. All the Linux versions should try to do as much as possible in the same way no matter which netbook you buy.
We need to ban SUV's (only type of car that causes global warming), and buy carbon credits from Algore. That will fix this problem, just like here onm Earth!
I am the son of the Eternal Living God of Mars, who was recently assinated by opposition forces. I cincerely need you help to transfer 5,000,000 Gomlets (Five million gromlets) from my planet to yours...
Isn't this just the specs for one of those greasy breakfast burretos, and a bic lighter? I know you're taking a chance eating them, but being able to take out a bunch of other people nearby just makes them that much more impressive. I thought the smell was what made you lose friends, not actually blowing them to bits.
You had a zero? In my time, zero hadn't been invented yet. We had to program with "one" and "not one". And we had to invent "not" just so we could have the opposite of a one!
They have been developing machinery to calculate the ballistic trajectory of airborne lounge furnishings. It's called Eniac (Explosive Nature of Inanimate Airborne Chairs), or something like that.
this rock sat around in a museum for over 100 years, and probably outside on ther ground for longer than that. If it really is proof of life, how sure are they that it isn't just contamination from something terrestial? It may have come from Mars, but how long has it been exposed to Earth life?
For example, how did we determine that Allan Hills 84001 came from Mars and not anywhere else? Not even a Mars-like planet in a nearby solar system? How?
On the bottom of the rock, it was stamped "Made on Mars".

Maybe someone needs to read that old childrens story "The Emperors New Clothes".

Those geeky scientists really only want one thing: Cat Girls!
Girls with cat ears, and a tail. Just like in the manga!

It's that global warming stuff again.

Still no aliens. Please send more people with large heads. Definately no brain eating aliens here.

The total volume of the device is just 0.5 cubic micrometres.
I know I parked my car around here somewhere. Anyone see it?
That's the same password I have on my luggage!
Who cares about battery life? It's PORN after all!

Does it happen to look like a Big Boy statue? Maybe it's Dr. Evil coming back.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of falling apples....
Oh, this isnt about the Mac, is it?

More likely, he would have been made the video security czar
Yes, but, did they catch any criminals on them? Who cares if they're faked, as long as they catch the bad guys...
Oh well, back to my global warming awareness seminar...
What prize do you get for collecting borg tails?
Go back to the great old Science Fiction movies, instead of just remaking lousy old TV shows
