Many anti-vehicular mines have foot-long poles sticking out the top of them. It would have to be a powerful hovercraft.
I'll take a wild guess here and say you've never been to jail. Now, given that YOU know what jail is like, and given the fact that most people who go to jail already knows someone who has gone, it's a reasonable assumption that that person knows what will happen if they go to jail. It cannot be said that they do not know what they are choosing.
In spite of knowing what will happen, they still do things like rob liquor stores and murder. Since they know the consequences of their actions, they do want that life, even if indirectly.
Even if they were somehow thrown into a place where those kinds of things were allowed, they would have to deal with worse situations then.
Hey, I'm not saying it wouldn't suck to get raped, but what are you going to do about stuff like that? If you put a bunch of psychopathic people together, bad shit is going to happen. The real problem that you're describing is that they're putting idiots in jail with violent offenders, and sometimes they even have to convict you of a different crime just so they can give out the sentence they want.
The fact is, it DOES happen, and it will continue to happen for a long time. I wasn't saying it was right or anything, it's just the way it is. Maybe we should stop putting people in jail altogether so that at least everyone overall has a smaller percentage chance of being ass-raped instead of just the criminals having to bear the whole load?
I'm really proud of the way you put that kid down for speaking his mind and encouraging group ridicule. Way to go, I bet you're an excellent teacher.
There in there with their peers. If you're not the type of person that would rape someone just because you haven't gotten laid in a month, you're probably not the kind of person that would end up in that type of jail.
It's the society they want, we're just giving it to them.
I'll second that. Awesome movie. Somehow they managed to make the movie easy to understand even though it was told backwards, and afterward I felt like I had no short term memory too.
Green things stay green because it makes for the most efficient photosynthesis.
If they turned red or blue, they would have to work harder, and within a blink of an eye (as far as evolution is concerned anyway) there would be animals that were able to see and eat those colors, thus leaving the plants with no additional benefit and a fair disadvantage when it comes to competitors for sunlight. Soon those plants that were blue or red would die off.
We're not blind to blue light because it's our night vision. Fairly low resolution, but spread all over the eyes to give us good peripheral vision that's very sensitive to motion. Humans hunt during the day, but during the night we're on the defensive. Also, I doubt losing the good contrast we have between the ground and sky would be much of a help to us.
Red and yellow makes people hungry. Blue makes people feel smart. Green I believe make us relaxed, or maybe energized, I can't remember which. Most of the vegetbles that we eat aren't green, we mostly crave carbohydrates and protien (red for meat, yellow for grains / other vegetables). Green just means fiber. Maybe on some level it makes us think of a nice relaxing poop. As a species, we don't really have any ingrained fears except for heights (mostly when we're young) and nighttime. It's been a long long time since we've had a natural enemy to really put fear into us.
Simple, use a large heatsink. You wouldn't want to make the heatsink radiate heat well without the coolant flowing through it, so the temp should go up to room temperature nice and slow when it's turned off. As for turning it on, I doubt it would be very hard to regulate the rate at which it cools down.
Start your own programming business. When companies want to outsource, they can outsource to you. A programming business run by a programmer has got to be better than what exists now, and I should know, I've worked at one.
A lot of programmers have no real interest in or ability to run a business though. We are also fairly interchangeable, unless you're very good. You can't do without us, though. Any large business needs programmers. Sounds like the perfect reason to unionize. The very way we're being treated now is the reason unions started in the first place.
A third option, my personal favorite, is a government certification much like doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians, and many other professions I can't think of now. It certainly wouldn't guarantee employment, but it would allow employers to know that when they hire someone, they're up to a certain standard, and it would also add a needed level of accountability.
A mix of the three would probably be the best thing, but any one of them would help if they were widely done.
Hmm, you might be right. But let's follow that to its logical conclusion...
Modern medicine allows people who can't live on their own to survive. Let's get rid of modern medicine. We don't need Steven Hawking anyway.
All those safety mechanisms they came up with for steam power let people who shouldn't have been using it in the first place have easy access to it. We didn't need the Industrial Revolution anyway.
Pasturization lets people who shouldn't have access to milk have strong bones and teeth. Everyone who wants milk should have to take care of a couple cows. I'm fine taking a few measly hours of every single day of my life to care for a cow so I can walk at 50.
Or maybe our modern languages and compilers allow people who normally couldn't program write bad programs, and people who would have been able to get along without them write great programs. What do you think?

Your goatse link needs to be hidden better.
You know what, call it whatever you want, but I think America rocks.
In fact, here's a traditional response from New York, made right here in the USA:
Fuck you, buddy!
psst... we're allowed to swear here, ya fuckin wanker.
Well gee, what can I say to that, other than, no, you are!

So the sane were safe then?
What a strange disease.
This is why people find it difficult to hang out with you.
You forgot to add:
Not that I know anything about that. *ahem*

Or an AS/400, you'll see those at most hospitals.

I'm to lazy to see if it's plagarized, but regardless it's funny as hell.
Not funny. No.
