There you have it, folks. Of the thousands of cars that GM has sold over the years, only these half-dozen, that have responded with their personal triumphes over entropy, are still driving the road today. Thus, GM cars are crappier than the hundreds of thousands of Hondas, Toyotas, and VWs from 15 years ago still rolling down the highway.
Obviously, this sweeping statement is absurd. It is as absurd as claiming that the three people posting in response to my claims of GM inferiority somehow negate the fact that: as a whole, GM cars are far less reliable than Hondas, Toyotas, VWs, BMWs, etc.
The guys who designed the RoadRunner C Library modified the protocol. They called it Minimal Extensible Exchange Protocol. They then implemented the protocol twice to speed up the system calls.
This way RoadRunner goes really fast with MEEPMEEP!(thp-thp-thp-thpppp)
this was all just a funny lie
This is a listserv message on things medieval that noticed this behavior from some of its Yahoo-using submitters for almost 2 years now.
It's sorta comical that not enough people talk about eval, mocha, and expression through Yahoo mail to have made this an issue before now.
Interestingly, I run a web board using Ikonboard and it contains a very simple filter'n'replace function just like Yahoo's. I set it up to filter out offensive words in case someone on the board went a little crazy. You know, "b*tch" equals "meanie" and "f*ck" equals "fornicate".
Imagine my surprise, when one day, I was reading a post that kept talking about how fun it would be for the poster to meet "all of his new clbuttmates on the first day of clbutt".
At first, I figured that this guy was just being an idiot or I missed some sort of recent joke on South Park. Nope, my filter was taking the ass outta clASS and making it clBUTT.
Makers of "fine" Pontiacs, SAABs, Olds, and Chevys...all cars who can't live longer than 9 years without their interiors falling apart. All cars that choke and wheeze at the 100,000 mile mark. All cars that have no life whatsoever.
I'd rather have an electric BMW, Volkswagon, Honda or Toyota...hell, even an electric Dodge would be better than an electric Pontiac.
Brian Walker / Rocket Guy: I am using 90% H2o2 because using it as a monopropellant is the safest method of propulsion for my particular rocket. There is no chance of a catastrophic explosion or fire. This alone eliminates about one half of all standard problems that are encountered for any rocket flight.
a) Oh shoot, I probably shouldn't have made the fuel tank out of silver.
b)...and my wife always wanted to be a blonde.
c) I'm building a rocket in my backyard. Where in the hell am I supposed to get buckyballs and multi-atomic nitrogen, smart guy?
d) The other half of the standard problems are eliminated by leaving the rocket science to the brain surgeons.
Actually, it's probably Diabolus (the submitter) who's webpage the story is about anyways. My guess is he didn't have anything better to do than report about himself.
Who's afraid of a Nuclear Genie besides the media?

Scientists could not keep the nuclear genie in the bottle
So what? Name one other country besides the US that has used a nuclear weapon on its enemy.
Bzzt, time's up.
The science to design a biological virus from scratch has been out there for over two years. Of course, nobody's gone about doing it other than these guys. There are enough loose ends in your typical high-level biohazard lab to give any wacko with a postage stamp the ability to mail you hepatitis, anthrax, or influenza. They don't need to mail order the parts and put it together at home.
Other than that, beyond the new glass cockpits and the Canadarms what you see is what's always been there
Not true. While the new cockpits are the biggest and most noted upgrades, there are a ton of upgrades to everything from the main engines to the steerability of the nosewheel.
It's time to slap a logo on the ISS and turn a buck. It could be Hershey's K-ISS or Sw-ISS M-ISS. Anything to put some money into the system in the name of science. It's not like anyone should be affronted by the idea of corporate sponsorship and science intermingling. It happens all the time. Check any biology lab or methods section of the scientific papers that come out these days and you're bound to find someone shilling for some company's enzyme or centrifuge. As long as the sponsor is just happy having their picture on NasaTV and isn't making decisions on food supplements or spacesuit fashion, I say go for it.

See my reply to pipboy...I'm no Elmer FUDd. I back my claims up with more than personal recounts of a single Astro van experience.
