So aside from all the typos and joking, does anyone else have an opinion on the fact that the US is now THE power in space? Although the article mentions India spending $500 mil on space, it doesn't come close to our spending or our expertise. Personally I think it's a good thing. Space is the next military battleground, or so it is said. So what are your thoughts?
Running that material through a drier and then through Polifka's machine could produce a powder form of those poultry byproducts that could be sold as a flavoring or nutritious additive to pet foods or fertilizers, Winsness thought.
"The single most important quality of the tornado in a can is whatever goes into it comes out with its nutritional value," he said. "You can get four times the price of nonedible waste." With the population growth being what it is and the cost of burial plots skyrocketing, how long before Soylent Green is a reality???
I can see wanting to make a swiss army knife set top box because it's fun, but other than that, why would you do such a thing? I can't see a need for all of that in one unit. Period. Why not make a sleek and specialized (and cheap) box instead?
The argument could be made that we (i.e. those of us lucky enough to live in the U.S.) retain the right to bear arms and that would mean that someone being restricted from producing said arms would be a way of restricting the population's freedom. Holding the manufacturers responsible for providing weapons in a murder would eventually put them out of business. Or the argument could be made against your analogy that the gun poseses many uses besides killing, like sport or hunting and, er... fishing, yeah and stuff like that. Software such as the code in this case has only one purpose, wether for research purposes or not.
It would seem that this is a convergence of policies for the former US President and VP. Clinton wanted to make healthcare more affordable and/or free, and Gore wanted to route the internet to everyone's home, business, or public meeting place. With this system you can get the internet and a free colonoscopy at the same time! Any of you who've been subjected to a sigmoid colonoscopy would know that you can't tell the difference between a robot shoving a fiber optic bundle from a physician shoving the fiber optic endoscope up there.
Where's the line drawn between addiction and fandom? I've been hooked on Command and Conquer games since they first appeared. I've tried others in the genre like Starcraft, but they just haven't done it for me. I'm going through withdrawl waiting for Generals to finally make it to the shelves, annoying the piss out of the local software shop guys everytime I'm in the mall by asking them to give me the up to date release date. When I do get a new C&C game, I normally spend the next 3 weeks playing that in my free time. I find myself staying up until 3 or 4 am, and my girlfriend gets hooked too, so that doesn't help things (is she an "enabler?"). After about 3 weeks, it doesn't give me as much of a "high" as it used to, so I don't play it as much. But then comes the expansion pack and another 3 weeks of my life. So I ask you, when does this become an addiction and when is it just being a fan?
I've done some reading on this subject, and the fundamental theory stems from an assumption that the electron assumes a non-classical (particle) and non-quantum (no probability wave) form of a two-dimensional shell (called an "orbitsphere"). This is where everything comes from, and nobody has been able to disprove the theory yet. The work presently being persued is seemingly discombobulated because it's being influenced by commercial applications. It is pushing to empirically prove the existence of hydrinos (i.e. lookie what I made, therefore they exist!) instead of forming a rock-solid experiment (in the eyes of the scientific community) to prove the existence of hydrinos (i.e. I did X and Y and got A, not Z or B, and here's my test setup and data which clearly shows that I took into account all the variables that you'd otherwise say I neglected, therefore they must exist. Now how can I make money off of this?).

Dude, I work with plasmas everyday. They're not as mystical as you make them out to be. Not all plasmas are "VERY hot and cannot be contained by normal means." Have a look at semiconductor processing equipment, primarily reactive ion etchers or plasma enhanced chemical vapor depostion machines. Plasmas are everywhere. Glad to see that someone with your obvious lack of knowledge in plasmas takes the time to evaluate Dr. Mills to be not enough of a scientist. BTW, a venture capitalist gives money. It's the scientist who uses that money do do the research.
It's highly plausible that the metal was liquid mercury. Using liquid mercury as the piston in a rotary type stirling (or other reversible cycle cooling method) engine his highly plausible. Try Googling for some web pages. There are some good ones out there. It'd contribute too much to my CTS to explain it all here.
I went 100% cellular to (among other things like convenience) avoid the telemarketers. Haven't had one call since, and it's been a year. I think I could live without email as well if the spam gets to be too much. Web access is a must, but I don't really need an email account. That's one sure way to avoid the spam.
I think that ISPs might decide to fight back. They're providing all the bandwidth to send this junk, and if they have to raise rates to their customers to do it, people will leave, causing their revenues to drop. It makes sense for them to nip this thing before that happens. Legislation, software filters, whatever...
"a huge LAN party, is taking place this weekend in Sweden." "The goal is to create a cool Flash Demo highlighting ASUS component products and "jazz up" company image. The demo is to be use on ASUS company website. The theme of the demo will be "ASUS, at the heart of your technology.""
I guess the Swedes have a lot of time on their hands... to be able to host a 4 day slumberparty/advertisement for ASUS...
Excuse me, but does the molding of a piece of plastic and the addition of four buds of legos count against authenticity?
Look at the X-wing lego kits or the "Quidditch Practice" kits on the Lego website... I think we've gone beyond the days of yore and the rules of lego. When shapes become difficult and are molded out of convenience, that's when the rules went out the window (MS claims to the name aside).
I was pretty happy the day long ago when I got something other than a rectangular white, blue, red, or yellow piece. Now there's quidditch rings... I think that paint and glue are more than acceptable here. At least he didn't just mold an enterprise out of plastic with lego buds on it...
As any avid/.er knows already, we can from here on out refer to any incarnation of Windows (software, automotive, or building portal) as a "security hole."

Actually, they hit the self-destruct. That's why it blew up. RTFM
In Captitalist America I'd charge you per post for all the "In Soviet Russia" messages I just had to wade through...

Does this mean that we can no longer count on them to space the boy bands? That's really disappointing... :-(

Can the fridge play my .OGG files???
I've got news for them... you CAN'T sell ice to eskimos.
Ah, but maybe I can sell them penis enlargement!
Hmm... honestly I don't know. Maybe one of our esteemed collegues could enlighten us?
In any event, each message takes up server space...

How soon before: 1. This is /.'ed
or
2. MS "requests" that the info be pulled?
Someone better mirror pretty fast...
