Nope. I've faith in medical science and I trust they'll have a cure for bad heart conditions by the time I'll need it.
Then I too get one of those cool replacement hearts like Captain Picard!
Beside I'll die of some STD caught in a big orgie at age 125.
Almost right. It doesn't travel through space (mostly vacuum), but it does travel through space stations (various materials which conduct sound vibrations).
Or alternatively a chain gang inmates to pick up the trash in orbit...
An then they say crime doesn't pay. I mean, rob a bank, hide the money, turn yourself in and get a free trip in space! No need for years of hard study and training!
I can't believe the editors are allowing such dangerous advice to be posted on Slashdot, of all placed!
Dangerous advice is exactly what the population needs. Can't keep bettering our species without natural selection, can we?
Bad advice is natures way to select against stupidity. Anyone stupid enough to drink sea water, should receive (if still alive, that is) a free educational trip to where the sewer meets the sea.
According to one interpretation of Revelation, when these things occur, though, Christians will be persecuted in a way that will make the Holocaust seem like a fairy tale. Then, after the tribulation, the faithful will join Christ in his Kingdom.
So basicly God is planning a mass murder again? And you people want to spend eternity with him????
There are several stories in the bible in which God killed off entire cities and he's supposed to be the good guy? Guess I'll be taking my chances with the devil then.
What if jesus was a highly functioning schizophrenic?:)
Perhaps he, like e.g. Elvis, ended up with the death celeberty-effect. An ordinary, but very popular person, who died in (or near) the high point of his popularity, becoming a legend because of the immagination of his fans.
Not that that would have any real importance anyway. The figure of Jesus, as the Bible describes him, has had already a hugh influence on history. And even if someone would prove that the real Jesus wasn't the son of a God, there would still be the meaning behind the bible figure.
IMAO (In my Atheistic Oppinion) people focus way too much on the magical aspects (Gods, miracles,...) instead of the social lessons behind those. e.g. Jesus magicaly healing someone. Perhaps the real meaning would be that helping sick people is a good thing to do.
As I see it a religiouse book is a collection of moral guidelines and rules written in SF-stories.
IMO there should be a way to punish politicians who waste time with PC word changing. If they can't actually solve a problem they shouldn't have taken the job and they shouldn't try to cover their incompetence with this waste of time.
Weird isn't it? Noone complains when biologists create new races of animals by selecting and breading. Yet once you use some more effective means, you're suddenly an evil scientist.
Beside if those glowing mutant fish ever got free, they'll probably get extinct in a matter of a few generations. Glowing animals are easy to spot and easy to spot animals tend to get eaten.
That's it. That's it! These people have to be fucking stopped.
Gosh, I'd like to help in your insurection against those infidels. But I'm currently busy organising a revolution in my country. As soon as I've conquered the place and I'm crowned as the new emperor, I'll give you a hand.
why should independent music be exempt from that ideal?
Because independent music threads another ideal: profit. How many old buildings are already removed in the name of "progress"? Once a Company Weasel has smelled money...
I take it back. *You* need a woman. I need off the planet, it's giving me a headache.
That's easy.
(1)Place a sturdy rock on a hard floor.
(2)Place a strong wooden board over it, make sure the stone is at the exact centre of the board.
(3)Stand on one side of the board and wait until the hubble telescope drops from orbit. Use incredible amounts of luck to place the stone-and-board at the exact right spot so that the telescope lands on the opposite side of the board.
(4)Happy flight!
IMHO people transport's more of a social than a technological problem. A decent system of public transportation could do wonders for a city if sufficent people would (be encouraged to) use it. Too many people are addicted to their cars and aren't willing to use anything else even if they lose enormouse amounts of time in traffic jams and parking space hunting.
Build big guarded car parks at the edge of the city and provide a decent net of public transportation. Limit cars in the city to people who really need such transport.
No need for any technomagical solutions, just get people to use better alternatives and invest in those.
Nope. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. There'll be some deuterium (1 proton + 1 neutron) and tritium (1 proton + 2 neutrons) in the balloon but most of it is standard hydrogen (1 proton, 0 neutrons).
Unless you're thinking of a fusion balloon, there's no point in using the less common deuterium in the balloon. All 3 isotopes are chemicaly the same.

So in short it's "follow his rules or die" and in exactly what way does that have any difference with a dictator?
Besides if God plays such games here, why do you think he isn't going to play games on you in heaven?
So women can't play games? You sexist!

Terrible what lack of sex does to a person...
Clean those test tubes faster!

Buy several old (cheap) cars. Park them on your (neighbours) lawn. Put everything in those.
(one million rednecks can't be wrong)

There are plenty of uses for them: dig a canal through a desert, build homes for the poor, organ donors,
Not that you'll receive any, not too many prison cells have internet access.
Better start complaining to your and forward all your spam to him/her/it to document your complaint.
Not that it would have much effect, but harrassing politicians is just so much fun, and besides, we pay them enough. Let them be usefull for a change.
