Consider a balloon with polka dots on it. When it inflates, each dot expands away from the others. We are a polkadot on the three-dimensional surface of space-time, and every point in the universe is expanding away from us as space-time expands. If we were in M31, we would still see ourselves at the "center" of the expansion. If we were in that galaxy 14 Billion light years away, we'd still see ourselves at the "center".
If you have 250,000 people who believe in your side enough to even show up, you have an army. Imagine those people walking into the US Capitol Building (and other assorted buildings [congressional office buildings]).
Right now I'm imagining it, except they get greeted with riot police telling them to go home because they are demonstrating without a permit.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Are you really that dense? I'm talking about a road trip. You ever hear of one of those?
Example: Every spring, I drive to Phoenix with a friend to watch some Spring training games. This is roughly 400 miles. Currently, that's anywhere from 6-8 hours, depending on traffic.
That's also well outside the range of electric cars, as we know them.
I currently stop at the CA/AZ border to get gas. 15 minutes (it's a busy truck stop), and I'm on my way. If charge time is too long, such a weekend trip becomes infeasible.
A few years back, my mom got DSL. I told her to drop her paid AOL subscription and just use their free service. She asked me to call AOL and do it for her.
I was prepared to spend an hour saying "please cancel the paid service" over and over and over.
I was shocked. It took me 5 minutes on the phone. Then, when I wanted to call back to confirm something, an automated voice told me that the account was on the free service, and customer service would cost me -- did I want to continue?

Isn't this a Serious Screenplay?
Rich, disconnected asshole makes bad joke about Egyptian uprising, realizes he made a mistake, and backtracks (poorly).
Move along, nothing to see here.
No way in hell is that libel. That's an ordinary restaurant review.
We *ARE* at the "epicenter".

To quote Arkady Darrel: "A circle has no end".
And yet, people felt the need to mark this comment flamebait.
I'm just waiting for the one named "Anubis", or even "Ori".
Of course, if you want a vaguely threatening "ordinary" name, try "Todd".
Saving games in the "cloud" also makes it easier to insert rootkits. That'll show those Evil Content Pirates(tm).

in which case I would ask how you can justify buying a new gasoline car
My car is paid for. I owe nothing on it. Next?
What confused me:
But if you're not using it, how is there any of your Internet activity for someone to watch?

So a "cluster" is rather like a "bar"?
Where is the Snickers Galaxy?
No, it's a phone built by Samsung.
So, I can't drive myself on a trip of > 400 miles?
I see charge time as a major problem.
With gasoline, when I'm low on fuel, I can stop, fill up, and be on my way again in 5 minutes.
Can I do that in an electric vehicle?
I was at work, and someone told me that the shuttle had blown.
My reaction to him was literally that. "You're shitting me, right?"
We put a radio on in the lab (in violation of all our security regulations) and pretty much no work got done that day.
He's going to work for Intel between dinners at "Claw".

That's what I've always seen it called.
I knew that. I meant the Hu/Yasser version. It was originally about Hu Yaobang, as opposed to Hu Jintao.
Actually, it was originally on SNL. Though the bit with Bush/Condi/Kofi is new.
Boo fucking hoo.
So, in Canada, you get Rogered?
