Yet another example of government waste! Hasn't anyone told them that submarines already have propellers and therefore don't need a cable system? Just think of the expense of building one of these from the US to North Korea or any other place we'd like to have our subs. One cable cut and the entire fleet would be out of action! I say we should stick with the current "self-propulsion" paradigm until they perfect the underwater slingshot.
These people are apparently unaware of the law of unintended consequences. With fewer stupid people able to post on the Internet, their stupidity will have no outlet. This will leave significantly more stupid for face-to-face interactions! I prefer avoidable/ignorable virtual stupidity to real, possibly harmful stupidity in close physical proximity to me or my loved ones. The creators of this software should have thought this through before unleashing their terrible creation upon the unsuspecting populace!
If it works, it's probably due to massive amounts of cash being thrown at it. Maybe that's why the Iraq war is so expensive. It's a larger version of the Pentagon's $400 hammer.
The Max Planck Society has an article on this very subject, written all the way back in 2004. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research found that the variations in solar activity matched similar variations in Earth's mean temperature for about 120 of the last 150 years. However, the last 20-30 years have seen no appreciable increase in solar activity while Earth's mean temperature has risen "dramatically". http://www.mpg.de/english/illustrationsDocumentati on/documentation/pressReleases/2004/pressRelease20 040802/
You could take some these seemingly sensible steps mentioned in other posts, but if you just wear this next time you stop by you can cut out that uncomfortable social interaction. Once you walk in, I'm sure the unequivocal statement printed upon your apparel will make your intentions perfectly clear and you can leave without a word!
Just think of the countless other unpleasant conversations you could completely avoid with this method! There's the "I'm cheating on you with your best friend." shirt, or how about "Your mother and I are getting a divorce."? The possibilities are endless!
Will they have a voice that says "You've got voice mail"?
This is a perfect excuse to add more boot-time background processes to provide users with an even slower, more popup-and-reminder-filled computing experience!
Couldn't they use this money to restart projects that got shelved when NASA's bugdet got cut? Take Hubble, for example. The thing is constantly churning out useful scientific data. Redirect these funds to someplace they can be used to further our understanding of the cosmos rather than a relatively useless project hosting space tourists and caretaker astronauts. It's like we have a financial black hole in orbit around Earth.
I'm ashamed that the coutnry I live in could put a man like George Bush in power, could support a congress that would ratify such onerous legislation as the Patriot Act, and, what's worse, even consider re-electing this man.
I don't see the sentence where he blames only the Republicans in Congress.
Women's rights groups are holding joint meetings to develop a strategy to combat new technologies that could threaten to bring down the multinational female financial managment empire. In her call-to-arms against independent financial decision-making by males, one speaker reminded the audience that alternatives still exist. "We will fight this subversive, technology-driven initiative by male-owned corporations to side-step our control with every resource we can muster! Remember, even if this coup is successful, we can still withold sex!"

I used to be a part of SETI@Home, but I've since decided to donate my cycles to something more pressing like AIDS and climate prediction.

I'm wondering what their EULA has to say about this?
Because artificial stupidity doesn't breed, thus making it the preferred choice.
I don't know what IT certfications you have, but I want in!
When can I send my name to Rupert?
Yeah, because too much TV makes you igneous!
Hmmm... Including "Fox News" and "factual" in the same paragraph is pushing it, don't you think?

I know I'm not the only one saying "wishful thinking".

His girlfriend must read /.

They don't, but Hennessey (sp.?) modifies stock Vipers to make 800hp. (0-60 in 2.3 seconds!) Enough car stuff....
