The only reason we don't see more of it is because nuclear weapons made total war too horrible to contemplate.
Isn't that what they said about the machine gun? About chemical weapons? Hate to tell you, but NOTHING is "too horrible to contemplate" for one group or another.
War will never be eliminated, but you should want "your" side to be the one that wins, especially when the other side wants you dead.
Dawkins supports the idea of creationism, so long as lifeforms myseriously grew on the back of a fucking crystal, or an intergalactic bukkake fertilized the planet.
Um... no.
Quick answer: we're farm animals. An alien race created us for their dinner tables. Their book "how to serve man" is a cookbook.
According to the Global Warming scientits, all of the ice at the north pole melted last year! This was proof that global warming exists, and is caused by man. Unless it didn't melt, which then proves that Global Warming is a major threat, which is caused by man.
There are people who think collecting this type of stuff is a good idea? Even up to having contests about how much they have collected. And I thought I was weird just for being a geek.
Ahh, the wrath of the holy believers. Beware, ye unbelievers, least ye be thrust in the fires and be consumed. Thy souls shalt be devoured in the cleansing flames of true belief.
How soon until we see the return of the inquisition. Torture them until the heretics confess their unbelief, then roast them in bonfires.
Anything that supports you beliefs are herolded with fireworks, but when anyone finds serious problems with your beliefs, it's time to pull out the rack.
Real science depends on determinig the truth, not on just supporting the beliefs of the faithful. Right now Global Warming has the same level of scientific basis as Intelligent Design.
If the warming trend continues, all of the ice will melt eventually, this is dictated by physics.
According to these researchers, all of the ice in the artic was supposed to melt last year. Why are we worrying about more ice melting, when there isn't any left to melt? Unless they completely screwed up and it didn't completely melt?
But if they were wrong about that, and their measurements have been screwed up for some time (as per this article), and they are ignoring more accurate measurements, why are they still being believed?
It shows that Global Warming is being treated just a religion. Bring out anyting that supports your position, ignore anything that shows the flaws. Slap names on those who oppose you (deniers, non-believers, heretics). Idolize your leaders (Algore, etc.).
Until actual science is used to study this, instead of blind faith, nothing useful is being done.
Do you really believe that someone spraying huge amounts of water underneath them will be invisible to pirates? Not only is there a large mist, but I'd imagine there will be a lot of noise from the pumps on the boat and the nozzles in the jet-pack.
Compare that to a UAV of some type. In a small airplane or helicopter form. I understand that they can be extremely hard to spot, and if a pirate shoots it, you don't end up dead because you aren't there in person.

another example of an exotic hadron containing charm quarks.
Is Obama one of the other examples?

Don't worry, the current conversion to socialism should get them spinning quite nicely.
After you did the Add/Remove Programs, how did you get rid of Norton Antivirus programs?
If you believe that this actually removed them, then you are very, very wrong.
frickin' laser beams
These won't work very well in space at the moment. Space suits for sharks aren't practicle, and without them, the sharks tend to explode.
You can actually see the sun in the NIGHT sky? You must have pretty good eyes.
there are more stars than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the world.
That's what "they" want you to think. Those "stars" were all manufactured in a Hollywood studio, next to the faked moon landings.
Actually, in order to combat global warming, they intend to turn off the sun.

So that gives you what, about 30 minutes up uptime per hour between the mandatory reboots for updates and the blue screens?
Um... no.

It has been decided
I wonder who decided that? Does their name start with 'Micro' and end with 'Soft'?

Why on Earth anyone would want to join them is beyond me.
Don't blaim me, I voted for Kodos.
That's so you can pull up an old issue to use in the bottom of your birdcage, right?

Don't blaim me! I thought she was on the pill!
Are we about to be invaded by people wearing hockey masks? Chain saws optional?
This boat is described in the book "Skink Works". The navy didn't want it because it didn't have a paint locker.
Does anyone know what happened to the server? It just quit responding, and when I went to check it, all I found was a cell-phone charger.
And what if IE has great performance, too, how will Firefox ever be able to keep up with that?
Anyone believe that this will ever happen?

Why break a preomise only once, when you can get more mileage out of it by breaking it over and over again.
