He had the brilliant idea of mixing con artist with magic trick:
1. Tell the world you're going to build a contraption and do a stunt, get five minutes of fame.
2. Declare you can't launch said first contraption because reason X, get another five minutes of fame.
3. Then tell the world you're going to build a much bigger contraption and do a much more dangerous stunt, get another five minutes of fame.
4. A bit later, announce that you can't afford to build the much bigger contraption on your own and you need people to help you pay for it. Get another five minutes of fame and a shitload of money.
5. Only use 10% of the money to build the contraption, make it appear as if you die in the stunt and disappear with 90% of the money.
He's set for life if he can get enough money in step 4 and execute step 5 without any problems.
You are a fucking moron because GMO has been going on for literally millennia via forced selection breeding.
There's a difference between natural forced selection breeding between plants GMO and Monsanto doing it in the lab at the molecular level breeding plants with spiders GMO.
According to the Post's article, "Instead of 'science-based' or 'evidence-based,' the suggested phrase is 'CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes."
So if the community standards and wishes means they prefer to rely on religion, superstition and other make-beliefs mumbo-jumbo, science has to stand aside?
Maybe it's related to the fascination Americans have with guns and the military in general. Just look at their movies. There's a disproportionate percentage of war/violence movies compared to other countries.

Nobody can here conversations. You can, however, hear conversations.
Part of going to a funeral is to talk with the other people who knew the deceased person, give your support, etc.
I guess this service might be appropriate for the funerals of people like Rodney Dangerfield.
There are 2 types of people in the world. Those who know binary and those who don't.

I have to admit, that second one really made me literally LOL.
If everybody is non-PC, how come the Mac marketshare isn't growing?
First real good programmer joke starting from the bottom of the page so far.
I think you are confusing comedy with tragedy.
I hope your spellcheck software is guaranteed.

So Russia was first in space (Sputnik 1) and the first on the moon (Luna 9).
Still, something made in Québec, Canada touched the moon before Neil Armstrong so I guess that still counts for something.
We all know that people who use spaces instead of tabs are just a bunch of tnetennba's anyway.
Another vote for IT Crowd.
They covered a lot of things us nerds have to deal with, such as bad operating systems, people who don't know how to use technology or even people who have no idea what the Internet really is.
I wish they made all of this up, but you can be sure that each of these situation happened at least once, somewhere.
Oh, I'd love to get a big fat check. Where do I sign up?

Hands up countries who manufactured the first thing that landed on the moon.
Wow, only Canada, eh?

It's easy, really. We all learned that between 1993 and 2002.
Trust no one.
It's not KILLING anything.
Killing means terminating the life of a living organism.
The same way we can’t really trust Slashdot since they don’t seem to be able to fix simple character encoding problems.
