Sounds like you are in the same boat as the newspapers. Those darned NASA scientists downgrading the impact risk and causing you lost sales. What nerve!!!
#10 is an impressive engineering, technical, and economic feat, but not one that really impacts science. It's not about the coolest applications of science, but rather about the coolest discoveries in science. (apologies to arkanes;)
But Tatooine is an arid planet so the climate fits in well with the Middle East. The District is the power center, so I thought it would take the place of Coruscant.
Let's see, then there's Obi-Wan's quote: "Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...we must be cautious." Baghdad or Fallujah? And Sadam is Jabba?
Cheese racing, eh? I'm sure there is a Spam (SPAM not spam) joke in here somewhere, I just can't find it. And to think we got from nuclear power to processed cheese food in short order.
And a sad fact of this is that the most imaginative the powers that be can think of as an improvement are the diebold pseudo random number generators. Today we voted by filling ovals on thick paper stock, then sticking it into a slot into the scanning recepticle. I held my paper face down and fed it into the slot that way. Only the peepers with the spycams on their shoes would be able to see how I voted.
On flavors, does this make tofu anti-Spam? Or is Spam anti-tofu? If you put them in the same room and let them fight it out..?
wouldn't it make sense for Hormel to just drop that product line altogether?
It seems that people actualy DO BUY Spam. We see it on the grocery shelves. If consumers didn't buy it, The supermarkets would not stock it, as shelfspace is valuable. So if people didnt buy it, I'd wager that the stores would stop buying it too. In that case, Hormel would have to go through direct marketing channels to sell Spam.
But if its for real and it releases, then it will probably be on video while the spilled soda is still sticky on the theater floor. In that case, I might watch it at a friends house, if he feels up for downloading it.
If you want to drink water that doesn't have at least some quantity that has gone through somebody (or something) else's kidneys, drink melted deep Greenlandic (or Antarctic) glacier ice...
People have his image of glaciers being clean and pure, but thats just not the case. Glaciers aren't all that clean. They're full of dirt and debris and every once in a while, an eons old corpse comes to the surface.
Not just radiation, but also testing costs. New gizmos, even changes that may appear to be trivial, may have a profound negative effect if not seriously regression tested. As I understand it, there are three rules to sending probes out: Reliability, reliability, reliability. It's pointing out the obvious, but it doesn't do anyone any good to send out the latest tech and have it puke on arrival.
While we're OT on this T, if you've not heard of Suze Orman, a financial/investment "guru", I recommend reading her contributions to yahoo finance. Plain advice on credit, debt and priorities.
Who said they are supposed to do a source code diff? Did I imply that, Ummmm...no. But to maintain credibility it is the media's job to do a reality check before posting stories, including press releases.
Too bad the mass media did not think of that when given the press release. No, instead, they just blindly passed it on to news consumers. This is a real problem with our media sources. Journalists do not do their jobs. Do you think any of them will learn from this? Nah, me neither.

NO! You make a primitive gun to hunt the gorn who is on the island. Then the mertrons will let you go home.
in the US you're protected by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act
This case is about Canadian employees of a Canadian company. What do their laws say about it?
I heard the same things about the Stanleys Steamers from my grandfather. Looks like what was old is new again.

Is that with or without the beer goggle?
circa 1960:
Geek1: We need to fit more data on these cards, lets trim out the first two digits of the year.
Geek2: What about when it turns 2000?
Geek1: What? No one will ever be using this system 40 years from now.
nevermore.

I predict that this will happen again, just 8 days later...
Is that when CmdrTaco will post the dupe?
If that's all it takes to obsolete a sex, then following that logic and given the "gadgets" out there, men have been obsolete for years.

Maybe they're hooked up to car batteries?
