That's funny, because while everyone was bitching about nVidia chips failing in laptops, I saw just as many HP DV laptops with ATI chips that had the same problem. I'm not so sure nVidia was at fault.
The problem isn't people denying global warming. Most people have a poor enough understanding of weather patters to grumble something about global warming after a single hotter than average day.
The problem is proving we're the cause. No one is buying it, and since they don't have any actual proof of anthropogenic global warning, they use scary pictures of polar bears on tiny ice patches to convince the public of something they already believe in (non-anthropogenic global warming).
So, are we still on track for the oceans to rise 10 feet by 2050, like they told us kids back in the 80's? SCIENCE!
What you think of as the American lifestyle is mostly a myth. American TV doesn't represent American life any more than anime represents Japanese life.
Google "china syndrome". A meltdown, in an absolute worst case, can produce enough heat to burn through the containment vessel, the building's foundation, solid rock, etc., all the way down to the water table. As soon as it hits water, heat boils water into steam very rapidly, gigantic steam explosion launches whats left of the reactor building a few miles into the air, and then we all die.
Maybe other sites are interested in tech news these days too.
Or maybe, if you're paranoid enough (like I am), you'll believe that the proverbial "they" don't want you going to SlashDot, because "they" want ALL of your news sources to be censored, filtered, and controlled.
Why? Because police the world over are fucking lazy.

Someone somewhere did a whois lookup for http://randomletters.cc/ thought about it for a few seconds, then said "Fuck this, I have a quota to make, and I'm not going to make it chasing imaginary people with names I can't pronounce through countries with no extradition treaty."
Its just a political tool. Islam isn't that different from Judaism or Christianity. Plenty of things in those religions are punishable by death, but not many people are getting stoned for sodomy in America.
The Kingdom of Saud is a place where there is no justice. Its like Mexico-- all billionaires and peasants. Life is inherently unjust, so those in power have to make a big show of dispensing 'true' justice.
No one knows what it means when they take that oath. I, incorrectly, took the oath to defend and support the constitution of the United States to be an oblique way of swearing loyalty to 'America'.
I have never seen a family in a library, and of the hundreds (possibly thousands) of times I have visited a library, I was never there with family members.
Furthermore, the Library is an important place for sex ed. I read "Everything you ever wanted to know about sex (but were afraid to ask)" from cover to cover in the library, as I was afraid to try checking it out and taking it home. That book was in the children's section, by the way, and GOD BLESS the librarian who put it there.
yet those venues aren't broadcast live around the world like the superbowl. Terrorists would love to have that kind of an audience.
No. Terrorists know that the media is controlled by the enemy. Gone are the days when Ahmed blows himself up to get his cause on TV, because his cause will not get on TV. The explosion will, but not the message.
Think about it-- do you even know what motivates someone to blow themselves up? No, you don't, because they don't put that on TV. All you get is racism and "they hate us cuz our FREEDOMS."
The idea that terrorists are still fighting some sort of bomb-fueled propaganda war is silly. They just want blood... and they're getting their fill in Afghanistan and Iraq(still).
What you're saying is that low concentrations make it harmless in seawater.
What I'm saying is "do you ever eat fish?". If you eat fish, you're eating whatever the fish ate, and whatever that ate, etc etc all the way down the food chain. At the bottom of the food chain is where the millions of gallons of sea water are drank.
The good part about Google buying YouTube was supposed to be that Google has enough money and clout to not roll over when the MAFIAA makes unreasonable demands....
People also (ab)use the calendar function... specifically (ab)using shared calendars as a scheduling platform. They load up one calendar with 5 years of catering crap, then want to complain "why is this so slow?" and "why aren't we syncing?"

Wow, I guess they the airlines and airports don't need to spend billions on insurance anymore, right?

Jersey Shore is a fucking cartoon.

Biometrics to the rescue!!!

Pi? What's Pi?
And I know for a FACT that that's a BS argument on his part, because any military base or embassy anywhere in the world is considered US soil.
Like defending the constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC...?
No doubt the result of aural sex.
Most black dye is actually a very very very dark purple. He may be seeing more accurately than we are.

The only good thing about the war on terror is that it has de-emphasized the importance of the war on drugs.
No. Terrorists know that the media is controlled by the enemy. Gone are the days when Ahmed blows himself up to get his cause on TV, because his cause will not get on TV. The explosion will, but not the message.

Perfectly cromulant.
It is (very) commonly used to mean legitimate. If the dictionary doesn't have this definition, the dictionary is wrong.
The English dictionary is a product of the English language, not the other way around.
They'd have a hard time building a Japanese nuclear power plant somewhere other than Japan.
Then the retards of America will have no one to vote for except whoever is on their browser's homepage... which will probably be msn.com.
