Kari is not all that sexually attractive...pretty in an overly girly way, yes. Hot, no. Scotty, despite the body modifications, was hot. THAT's a real babe (plus she actually has breasts).
America seems to need a hero right now, and Chuck Norris is it. Why? Stallone is too drooly, Arnold is too governmenty, and, well, who else is there?
Chuck Norris has been a B-movie star for decades and he's actually a nice guy that can roundhouse kick you in the face (not movie SFX) if he wants to. He's a real person, and people like him for that. Chuck for president!
Anyone planning an attack on an industrial facility would be better off bribing/blackmailing an insider into providing descriptive plot plans, equipment layouts and process flow diagrams. This restriction is just silly, ridiculous security theatre.
Together, us two cannot kill laugh tracks alone but might start a pan America distaste for them.
Laugh tracks are evil incarnate in the sense that they indicate where to laugh. If you have to be told what's funny (via manufactured laughter), you can be sure that it's not.
Did Fawlty Towers or Flying Circus ship with built-in laughter?
NTP chose to sit on their ideas. Do *nothing* with them. Should they be allowed to protect ideas they have no intention of ever using? Does that "encourage progress" as is the original intent of the patent system?
In an ideal world, this is what the court would ponder.
I see no room for the concept of vultures within the concept of granting patents.
In the early 80's my ex-wife and I had sex a lot, all the time, in the kitchen and in the hall closet but on Saturday mornings it was special because we knew that the Chuck Norris cartoon was coming on.
After watching Chuck Norris, we went on yet another boinking escapade lasting up until 7 AM Monday when we had to go back to work.
At first I was concerned that my babe might be thinking about Chuck Norris instead of me while she was at work, but then I also started to think about Chuck Norris and got a boner. This is why I have a 14 year-old kid now that looks like Chuck Norris.
America's "greatest generation" now in retirement is making out like bandits because they paid very little in and are getting huge social security and medicare benefits out they didn't pay for
The "greatest generation" is the guys (from all allied countries) that went to war in 1939 and after. Are you maybe thinking of the baby boomers who "inherited" success?
Finally, don't forget that an Oil Shock will make all other sources of energy economically viable. Wind, Solar, Sea Tides, Geothermal, etc. will all become competitive once the price of Oil goes through the roof.
How will this energy be stored/distributed; batteries or hydrogen?

How about automatically "promoting" abbreviated stories to full stories if a certain number of comments are posted on it.
I agree. I've made my preference changes as a "power user", but I'd still like to see some game-related stuff on the main page if it generates a decent amount of discussion. For the past while Zonk has been flinging WAY too many game stories.
So, the IT revolution will result in everyone kicking back and thinking for a living? Maybe in 200 years?
I must take issue with the statement that thinking jobs are being replaced with software.
I guess that depends on which jobs. In engineering (not software "engineering"), a lot of people are relying on sophisticated programs rather than knowledge. These programs only output correct answers if they are asked the correct questions.
But sophisticated programs run by relatively cheap and inexperienced engineers is often preferable to management than experienced, expensive engineers.
Automation of repetitious manual tasks (factory work) resulted in people working more with their brains (office work). Now that "thinking work" is being displaced by software, what's left for humans to productively do?
I've got one point left and I've decided to reply instead.
The concept is interesting and I didn't even notice any sort of profit-linking. I was too caught up in the idea, and I don't buy books online. Monkey, you get a -1 in my book for this one (grandstanding? first-posting?).
It will take a much smarter person than me to work out why they do it (maybe they actually want a job in internet security!)
I'm not smarter than you but I know that those who fuck things up for the rest of us tend to be young (chronologically or mentally) interested in "making a mark". Like peeing to claim territory.
I'm not immune to the occasional harmless troll myself, but this is just pure abuse.
Did any brave soul try to put a match to it? Those are actually regulators like you see on tanks for diving. Actual "control valves" take signals (P,T,F) from elsewhere and respond accordingly.
Natural gas is heavier than air, IIRC, so if this happens again walk around flapping as if everyone in the county just farted.

It will also keep you up if you have to go pee.
"Go! Go! Go! We're number one! Give me a P! P!"
Not the ones I've seen.
It's pretty pathetic when producers/rebroadcasters have to TELL people when to laugh. Is this a uniquely American invention?

Ahem. IV plus catheter.
Personally, I think that use of the word, "frigging" needs more exposure.
Yup.

As long as Doctorow is confident in his claims, his only thought should be "bring it on."
Personally, I think that Cory and his gang is a bit too lefty for my personal tastes (but I still read BoingBoing).
On the other hand, I agree: "bring it on".

Lame corporate executives everywhere generally share some common traits and thoughts. Among the lesser ones, these are the worst:
- I want a better parking spot
- Maybe I can afford that Ferrari
- That new guy is coveting my office
- Great idea, can you work more boobies in?
-
Are the actors supposed to just sit around/modify their schedules for this?
Go Chuck Norris!!!

but it's easy for a country covered in trees with a population of 27 people to eliminate it's dependency on fossil fuels
Look, I just talked to Jean-Guy and Doug and we're pretty sure that the other 24 are pissed off at you for dissing Canada again.

Alberta oil.
