4 people died in the fires in Canberra that burned down Stromlo you noxious ignorant cunt.
But I guess you just don't care about them.
Yes I do. Belive it or not. I was in a way relieved that no more people died in those fires, I hoped it wouldn't turn into another "Ash Wednesday". I'm neither Australian, nor American, so this wasn't nationalism from my side, although it may have been "wrong" of me in another way. I expected a lot of bad jokes to come up about the Shuttle, and a lot of "HAHAHA! You deserve it!". May have been wrong of me to single out Australians for this though, since the bad jokes came from all the world, even from the US. Sorry about that, Australia. I just remembered the debate about Stromolo/bush fires jokes, and all this "f#*@% Americans, you are so insensitive". I haven't heard all the jokes about the bush fires, and I haven't heard all the jokes about the shuttle, but I guess a lot of all those were pretty bad. I wanted to say that one should take a moment to think it over before making a "joke" about something that people care about. People who have had their feelings hurt by a bad joke, should perhaps think it over before "taking back" with another bad joke and starting a flame war. At least try to make it a bad joke against the joker; not a bad joke against the people who died, were hurt, or lost their property. In a bit of an ironic way, I was the one who should have taken my own "advice", and taken a moment to think it over before posting what I did. Next time I won't hurry just because my post might be the first one. From the response you gave me, I could just as well have said "I vomit on toddlers!", or something like that. I have to try to put myself in the situation of those people who have been affected by a disaster in some way, and try to understand how they feel. I know I can't accomplish this 100%, since the accidents that have affected people I know, haven't had enough magnitude to be on CNN. The entire population of the Canberra area were affected by the fires in different ways, and communities around NASA sites are affected also. They may have lost someone themselves, or they may know somebody who have. Would people like these Australians, Americans and Israelis think that this or that joke was funny? Many of the jokes I read, I think they wouldn't approve of. The strange thing is that sometimes, jokes which I find utterly appalling, the victims of the tragedy laugh at, for some strange reason. But if we didn't know who they were, we would scald them for laughing.
P.S. I just said sorry to Australia. This apology does not apply to Australians who made sick jokes about the bush fires or the shuttle.
Here, and here.Rest of collection Here. But an ASAT weapon such as this one (a missile, not a beam weapon), would have been picked up on radar/visual scanning, so this has to be an accident.
I personally have trouble believing that any terrorist cell is capable of that. My bet is on an accident. But if some rouge state or group aquired ABM weapons, or a jet fighter with an ASAT weapon, that can shoot down objects in orbit.
And they don't have all that sand that we can steal and use when the roads are slippery. Or all those poor people who require food aid that we can steal and use to act out the "Starvin' Marvin" episode of South Park. (That moralizing TV-show.) Or some people in the North, that refuse to be ruled by the rest...., oh, wait, they have those.
One solution could be to declare it a result of force majeure: "An act of God", an event that could never be anticipated. Somehow I don't believe that would hold up in court. The good thing about cracker insurance, is that the insurance companies will impose terms that the insured parties have to comply with. And they can give discounts on premiums if some measures are taken by the insured. How about a 10% discount for switching from Windows to a secure system;-)
In case you didn't know, font also means a receptacle for baptismal water, source, fountain, as well as a set of types of one style (the story was about type fonts, but I chose to "mis-understand" it to make some, apperantly lame, joke.)
Getting off topic here..... Well, with rockets they might go, like, 1000 scale miles per hour.
Divide speed by scale. Let's say a 1:8 scale radio controlled car can make 80 km/h (ca. 50 mi/h), quite possible if it has a combustion engine. Then it makes 640 scale km/h! (ca. 400 mi/h)
And sometimes the sky is red because it reflects the light from the tomatina festival.
Getting a bit off topic here, but the underside of clouds can actually give a sign about what is underneath them. If you are on pack ice or snow covered land, look for clouds with a very dark, almost black, underside. You might find open water, snow-free land or forests in that direction. Regarding tomatia, the tomatoes might contribute to a reddish hue in the clouds above the city, but I doubt that they would make a measurable difference:-)
I didn't know that the free software community had such a high number of baptisms? Are you guys super fertile or what? I mean, if these Bit Stream people are even teaming up with gnomes to donate fonts to baptise in, they must be trying to give you a hint! Perhaps they are tired of all those people flocking to their stream to be baptised. I mean, even if there is some saint performing them, you have to respect that these people are trying to live their lives in peace. I mean, come on! Perhaps Bit Stream can get rich exporting holy water to use in these fonts?
I thought this was a car? Without pedals in it? Then why do people talk about it being re-cyclable? I mean, I understand that you can cycle with a bicycle, but wouldn't using a car be classified as driving? And why is this concept of re-cycling such a big thing? I mean I have cycled many times on the same bicycle. What's the big deal? Can cars only be cycled once, and then only driven until it's time to scrap them? I guess that's why new cars are so much more expensive than used ones. "Almost new BMW. Cycled once, never driven. 20% off."

Was there not an Israeli astronaut on that Shuttle?

According to this article, slashdot story was correct:
Good to see that the website is up again, and that most of the computers on the observatory, holding important work, were found intact.
From the article:
labels' new legitimate online music services attracted fewer paying customers than the McDonald's in Times Square.
We can be sure to see the visits to that burger joint to drop as well. I mean, when this becomes commonplace.

So this is why the clouds are red sometimes: It's the red shift on the light from the clouds, resulting from the expanding sky!
