You can pitch a perfect game with no pitches thrown, for there are ways that the batter can be called out without a pitch being thrown: if he steps from one batter's box to the other when the pitcher is in position to pitch or if he attempts to use an illegal bat. 27 of those, and the pitcher is credited with a perfect game.
I'm pretty tired of the whole "we are at war" stuff. We are certainly not at war. Check the Constitution. We are only at war when Congress declares that we are. We have not been at war since 1945.
If it is proven to be so, it is a theory. If it is a guess or working model on which data needs to be gathered to see if it is true, it is a hypothesis.
A computer hacker who allowed himself to be publicly identified only as ''Mudhen'' once boasted at a Las Vegas conference that he could disable a Chinese satellite with nothing but his laptop computer and a cellphone
He boasted that he could sneak up on the satellite, whack it to death with his 8 pound IBM G40, then call for a pizza to celebrate.
When I think of electronic paper, I think of a 8.5 x 11 sheet or a newspaper. Something I can roll up, bend, fold, whatever. This thing is just electronic paper in a frame. What's the big advantage over black and white LED screens? This is not the revolution.
"I remember back in Kindergarten when all of my classmates and I wanted to be astronauts when we grew up. All of our dreams were dashed to bits the next year when the Challenger exploded. We all went back to wanting to be fire fighters or whatever."
110 firefighters died in the US in 2003 alone. 17 astronauts have died since 1967.
Sometimes, when I see stories like this, I think that Bill Gates has careened down the slick claustrophobic portal into his own head so that everybody he sees has his face and every word they say is Microsoft. Microsoft? Microsoft! MICROSOFT!!!
Oh, by the way, did I tell you that THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A FUNNY CHEMISTRY JOKE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD?
"Clever" bumper stickers, T-shirts, and unfunny things like dihydrogen monoxide piss me off. The goatse guy is ten times as witty as these fucking lame "jokes".
Ha ha ha. See the stupid laypersons who don't know science like we do. Ha ha ha.
Polystyrene for everybody! Here, Mister Sea Turtle! Have a foam cup! Mmmm good. I'm lovin' it!
Really, the next person who tells me about unobtanium or administratium or a ferrous wheel or the ether bunny or water by some unfuckingclever non-IUPAC name or any one of the other ten thousand painfully humorless chemistry "jokes" is going to get my steel-toed sneaker up his or her ass, ACS or no ACS.
And that's another thing. The ACS can kiss my ass.
"It Takes Alkynes to Make a World" HAHAHAHAHA oh I just shit myself laughing!!!! Wait, no - it was just some ACS anal leakage.
Based on the article and PieSpy site, it seems that PieSpy only finds the existence of a connection between members -- a symmetric relationship in which "A connects to B" implies "B connects to A". Yet human relationships tend to be asymmetric: "A likes B" does not imply that "B likes A" and "A controls B" certainly does not imply "B controls A".
Spot on. The plots are driven by asymmetric interpersonal relationships. It is the very basis of all the humor and all the tragedy.

First, it is a war .

Of course, a whole lot of this is just theory.

Why is this so hard?
AC or not, he is right on.
Gates? C'mon. He's the equivalent of the 1919 Chicago White Sox.
most people won't take the time to email the host and complain
why not a button that automatically sends an angry email to the ad sponsor's site?
on a related note, why not an automatic email to the webmaster of sites that are not mozilla compliant?
Big Black Nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
Am I the only one that was impressed when a rock band worked the word parthenogenesis into a song?
Bloody great mondegreen bait.

How about the lack of Soviet tanks rumbling down your street?
Is it "terrain" on Mars? Terra is Latin for Earth. What do you call land on Mars?

Why bother wasting time with science stuff? The decision will be made by this administration based on whether it is supported by Scripture.
some old geezer in a blue vest said howdy and gave me a sticker
Yes, I meant LCD screens. Anyway, will this particular technology lead to rollup readable paper?

Darl pulls out a legal document. Mick purses his lips in scorn.
"Tha's nah a loy-since," he says. He whips out a copy of the GPL. "Tha's a loy-since!"
Darl flees in terror.
What tribe was that guy?

Who's to flame here? Chemists? What are you, some ACS undercover shill?

A freshman at Harvard is looking for the library, so he goes up to an upperclassman and asks, "Excuse me, but where's the library at?"
The upperclassman superciliously looks down his nose at the freshman and answers, "At Harvard, we never end a sentence with a preposition."
To which the freshman gamely responds, "Oh, I'm sorry, man, let me rephrase that. Where's the library at, asshole?"
Hey, remember surfing over to Slash.... what was that place.... oh, yeah, Slashdot, that's it.

But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
