What i find annoying is that words like fuck have some sort of magical value attached to them. I mean, when you watch TV and someone says "You *beep*ing mother *beep*er", or when someone writes "f**k", you know exactly what it means, so it's not the meaning the censors find offensive but the arrangement of letters or sounds.
I think the US just has irrational taboos created by religion for no particular reason other than maybe control. Would you really be scarred for life if you see some breats at age 6, or turn into a dangerous criminal if you hear someone say 'shit' once in a while?
They could have made the hair look more like in the show. I mean that's a major part of the character's look, it can't be that hard to get the hair look right after all the millions they put into this movie.
Right, Evil Evil Amazon for collecting information that will help me buy other products in the future. I go to the Amazon website willingly, i know that they are collecting this information, i even help them by marking how much i liked the items i've ordered. There is no conspiracy here. There is a context for this information gathering. Are you going to withold your medical history from the doctor that's treating you?
- Sonar-vision, i think seeing in 3D would help us understand the world better. - Telepathy, if you get the input/output working and hook up and antenna, watch out for spam though. - Computer aided augmentation, help the brain with functions it's not very good at like calculating large numbers. - Image streaming from your eyes, photography, movies like in one of William Gibson's books, i think it was Monal Lisa Overdrive, you wouldn't need to be an artist to recreate an image you have in your mind.
Probably not likely to have any of that any time soon though. =\
Heh, it seems that "it takes too much effort to do otherwise" is Microsoft's main business plan right now.
And judging by the increasing popularity of Firefox, people are starting to discover that's it really not that much of an effort.
Why not just abolish the whole idea of a planet? If it's so vague you can't find a definition for it, why have one at all?
Why not just classify objects by their mass, radius, orbit, maybe temperature and other significant information too? -For example, you have an object of a certain mass classified as M# where # is its location on an exponential mass scale. -Then you add R# for its size. -Then have O# for degree of orbit, where # = 1 + (O# of the object it orbits), having something like the galactic center as the O# = 0.
Then you could use any of the characteristics as needed. Or maybe my brain is just in parsing mode right now.

The the question of where god came from has a quick and easy answer, and it is "He's a heretic, burn him!".
Safer cars? You want your car to be easier to destroy for it to be safer.
Come on, are you typing this while driving?
How hard can it be to add an extra couple of characters?

Not only is he failing to use the eraser, he's also claiming the store that sold the chalk is responsible.
Remember kids, you can call him 'Dick', but you can't call him 'A Dick'.

Let's stab him in some of the lesser-known organs.
Since he doesn't know what they do, he shouldn't really care about it, right?
A few other possibilities:
- Sonar-vision, i think seeing in 3D would help us understand the world better.
- Telepathy, if you get the input/output working and hook up and antenna, watch out for spam though.
- Computer aided augmentation, help the brain with functions it's not very good at like calculating large numbers.

Heh, i wonder when we'll be results like this:
Your search - Microsoft - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.

I hear they have an army of genetically-improved chair-throwing chimps.
Might be just a rumor though.
Or, after marketing is done with it:
Modular dynamic chairs with a new ergonomic ass-to-chair interface for better posterior synergy.
No, i believe that's an open standard.
Well, you know what they say...
Obscenity is the crutch of inarticulate motherfuckers.
What have I got in my pockets?
How about a surplus nuclear generator from a russian submarine?
You know what they say... In soviet russia battery drains YOU...
Should be the other way around.
That way he can call himself the keymaster and his wife the gatekeeper
The diamond-studded friggin'-lazers are still within the budget though, right?

It's a reality show.
With the power of today's computers twice just isn't enough.
You'll need to use atleast rot13 x 1024k to be really secure.
Yes, but does it hatch pinguins?
