"the article basically has a bunch of people saying "it might be some shit" but they have no proof whatsoever. They claim to have ruled out several other possibilities which led them to the "conclusion" (how do you come to a conclusion with no evidence?) that it was the Tunguska impact crater."
You've just described the reasoning used in virtually every UFO show I've seen.
If you compare a book that takes many hours to read (and possibly even reread) vs a movie that has to be limited to approx 2 hrs then you'll never be satisfied. Obviously compromises have to be made. Some things, such as a narrator's voice in a book, don't translate well to the screen (i.e. Dune). Due to its nature a good movie requires a much more linear flow than a book.
For instance, I read the screenplay for 2001 after seeing the movie and it added a lot to my understanding of it. Did I never watch the movie again in disgust? Of course not. Making a clone of the book into a movie would've been a mistake. It would've been a meandering film with too many asides (not to mention a much bigger budget) that would've detracted from the flow of the story.
That explains all of those people I see living in a moderate apartment yet they "own" (aka lease) a Lexus SUV. Too many people trying to live beyond their means.
I would also add that if they make it an official disorder then people can turn around and say that they are addicted to gaming and therefore deserve disability status. A person playing WoW at work all day could claim discrimination if they try to fire him because he now has an officially recognized disorder. The definition of a disability has been getting stretched over time and I wouldn't be surprised if there was pressure involved here to resist that trend.
Agreed, too few people give positive feeback, they only like to complain.
I hope they also keep the cameras running to catch any criminals. They're the ones who terrorize neighborhoods and then scare possible witnesses into keeping silent.
"It wouldn't surprise me, as the act of teaching while learning tends to reinforce the learning. The oldest kid, whether consciously or not, ends up demonstrating any new knowledge and capabilities to the younger kids in the family or neighborhood."
So THAT'S what my brother was doing? I though it was called fighting. I didn't know he was teaching me!
"Why would you care if one day a man walks on Mars? Maybe I am just a selfish prick, but unless that man is me, I don't really care. Turning vast amounts of society's resources into a project to get a handful of humans onto Mars is a waste of my money. It might make your nationalistic pride feel warm and fuzzy, or maybe give you a feeling of greater human accomplishment, but warm fuzzy feelings is the extent of what is really accomplished."
Replace some of your text to reference the Olympics games and you have another huge waste of money to give glory to a few and fuzzy feelings to the rest.
I'm probably missing something here but from all I've read about black holes I've always read that it would appear to an observer that your clock would slow towards 0 (which is what they say in the article). So hasn't this been proposed in general already? Are they saying that you'd never appear to reach the event horizon?

Person #2: "A withdrawal is the sane answer..." Person #1: "No can do! Next!" Person #4: "Ummm, a billion dollars for mind control research?" Person #1: "Great! Add it to the budget, next!" Person #2: "For a fraction of that we could end this." Person #1: "Not acceptable! Gotta stay in! Next!" Person #5: "A fleet of robots? We could take money from customs inspectors to pay for DARPA funding." Person #1: "Excellent! Now these are the kinds of ideas this administration is looking for!"

Not if it was a comet

Gee thanks, I never noticed them...until now!

My lvl70 mage does all my eating for me.
I hope they have it ready by the time we have to live in spacesuits on this planet. After we trash Mars maybe we can go after Titan.
And if you cook it down and carmelize it it becomes "dulce de leachate". Yum!

Mom! Toilet!
For over a million dollars I'd not only give up my cell phone but I'd also learn Morse code.
They asked Americans the same question and they always got the same answer, "I'm fat already, why would I want a million more pounds?"

Duhhhh, I have to have my older brother read this article to me. Me not read good.

No, just the world's largest collection of GOATSE images.
Does anyone know if the Canon MP830 HAS to use the CLI carts instead of the less expensive BCI carts? Can I use BCI cartridges in it?
I noticed that it didn't say "Canadian citizens demand...".

The DHS converts your tax dollars into government jobs. So far it has had a 100% success record.
Remember when the Republicans used to be for smaller government? Maybe they'll create another "czar" for IT security. Can never have enough czars!

They should use the old Apollo sets they used when they faked the moon landings. ;)
Try BF1942. All too often when I try teamspeak I get this conversation:
"Hold on, I'm gonna light up a joint...ok, oh, gotta respawn..."
Oh yah? Well I knew a fetus who could bake an excellent soufflé.
