Who said you would need to get on your way immediately? Make sure there is no space debris around a planet and accelerate around it. When you hit 57%, free yourself from the gravity well. It's like a continuous slingshot maneuver. Though it takes a lot of energy to accelerate to that speed AND battle the gravity well for a prolonged period of time.
True that. Though I wouldn't do that with an automatic transmission. Auto-clutches are very expensive to replace. About two to three times as expensive as manual-clutches.
And the telcos are already complaining that Google is making all the money
You know what's funny? When I complain that companies make too much money I am being called a communist/terrorist/insert-up-to-date-boogeyman, but when a company comes along, sells a resource, and says that someone using that ressource is making more money of it than they should be allowed to make, they call it an anti-competitive situation.
Please enlighten me why, for example, a paper mill should get kickbacks from a book publisher? Why should a fabric producer get kickbacks from a fashion designer? And why, for FUCK'S SAKE, should a Internet service provider get kickbacks from a Web application provider?
Don't you see? It has a tag embedded into an image. He probably paid a grand or two for that web site design. That makes it a respectful business. Now go and buy his stuff*.

Lesser known fact: the purple gorilla used to be a green parrot.
Yes, a big belly certainly is worth a scare... ;)
Yeah. We'll get the dupe in another ten years... this time around with a Google TextAd image. :P
Think of the chicks. They'll take over the world anyways. Might as well enjoy your stay. :P
I guess that's the same way German beer is turned into Guinness; only that we a bit more "shit" to mix to give it that thick "taste"... :P
In God's Debris, Scott Adams discusses how and why the Human brain is an illusion generator. A good read, nonetheless.
You need to read Altered Carbon now.
You mean 'a Java programmer with a collection of instances of class ModPoint'. ;)
Yes, but it's nutritious and thus a breeding ground for bacteria.
What is this bullshit about Slashdotter having too much money? I'm barely scrapping by...

Broken cars drop off the road when ripe. I guess that's where the expression "It's a lemon." comes from.
