Yup, seems like karma to me. I'm perfectly willing to let them ditch their crappy language and switch to the English language and English keyboards, but they don't seem to like that either.
The summary suggests that POE is a "ubiquitous power source", but the suggests that we have to go to the bay of thieves to take a chance on getting one. Which is it?
A level of surveillance that is deemed acceptable in the US, for instance, may be considered completely objectionable in another.
I think what they mean to say is that in some European countries and the EU itself, people still have rights guaranteed by a constitution and and the countries are not ruled by a bunch of thugs who consider it a minor inconvenience that can and should be ignored. The text should have read ".... deem acceptable by the thugs who rule us.... ".
They got what they deserved. Clearly God was on the side of the winners, and if history is any indication he likely ordered his people to kill the others.
It is a bad idea. Oh, taxis might be a decent idea in large filthy urban areas, but if they were the taxi companies could figure that out, but so far they realize that the inflated price of electric vehicles (and eventual replacement of very expensive battery packs) makes the choice of non-electric vehicles much better economically. And that will remain true with the foreseeable future of the oil market. But most of the country is far less concentrated than the cancer of our urban areas. In more spread out areas expecting people to use taxis is not economically feasible.
Absolutely. Because a man who is not even an astronomer said so and changed some signage at the Hayden planetarium, we should all give him the attention he craves and go along with him. He has set his completely arbitrary cut-off point for planets in that very narrow range above Pluto but below Mercury, and it must not be disputed.
No, after the solar system was ravaged by Neil deGrasse Galactus there were only 8 planets. But after this discovery is confirmed there will still be only 8 planets. Reports are that "they" haven't actually seen the planet but have seen things orbiting around it. So the likely conclusion is that this massive body with 10 times Earth's mass is a black planet. Since it's not a wandering light in the sky we can apply the "black planet" label to it and claim that it is different and thus not a real planet. So, still 8 planets. I'm hoping that we will name this unworthy black planet "Neil".
There seems to be an implication here that twins have identical IQs. I don't think that is valid and it strike me as more likely that the twin with the lower IQ is the one who elects to abstain from wacky weed and the twin with the higher IQ is burning out brain cells until they get down to their sibling's level.
I can freely hint at revealing another national secret, as long as it is in my personal interest. There are never any negative repercussions for anything I say or do. Let me leave it at that.
I'm no Blackberry fan. I would never trust the company and I sure don't use one. But I'm surprised that everyone just seems to accept the claim. I expect that if there were any secure device out there that several gub'mints would be actively telling people "oh, we can crack that", a message which comes across as "Don't use that if you want to keep your communications private" and ends up steering people to devices that the snoops really can crack. Maybe they can crack it, but if so why tell us about it? I don't have enough trust in any government to believe this blindly.
Bullshit. Do you have receipts for all of the bulbs that you have bought? And have you tried to get a replacement? You can't get the store to honor the manufacturer's guarantee, you are told to send it back to the manufacturer at your own expense. The only one making money with that scam would be the post office.
Incandescent lights were not banned, but the laws that were passed effectively forced the closure of all U.S. manufacturing plants, and the equipment has already been exported to other countries. So if this technology ever does make it to market, it will be of no use to citizens of the USA. Oh, we could buy cheaply made foreign bulbs that are imported at extra cost and priced sky high, but it is a tough call between that and the many disadvantages of crappy CFB's that brighten slowly (bad for use in closets or stairways) , or die much faster than the packages claim. I have yet to have one last over a year in my kitchen overhead light, which uses three at a time and seems to constantly need changing. I don't even bother to change the bulbs any more until two of the three go out, and I'm still replacing bulbs every year, as fast as I was with 25 cent incandescent lamps. Oh well, at least these bulbs let me throw away mercury into the landfills. (Don't tell the hazmat people about the one that broke in the baby's room!)

Yes, but by design.

Yea Edward, you don't need to tell me. It gets so old having all those women chasing after you. We have such a heavy burden.

Yup, and what is he going to do with all that pornography?
Yup, I sure like to take my advice about how to deal with UFOs from the CIA.
That doesn't mean the patch will hit users' phones ever, though.
There, I fixed it for you.

opps, did we let the logo go public?
Lets name this planet Pluto and really piss off Neil deGrasse Glactus.
Yea, Dwarf planets are not planets any more than dwarf people are people.

Construct an experiment to prove your theory.

Sounds great, as long as the terrorists all set their "I am a terrorist" bits. Otherwise it is useless.

Good. Now maybe the Federal Trade Commission will go after anyone building back doors in their software or hardware for the criminals at the N.S.A.
You think it is hype when they talk about "stationary protons"? What gave it away?
These new rules make me feel intimidated, harassed and I'll now be silent on Twitter out of fear.
