I don't see how you can claim that is 'shallow'. Anyway, so where are you from? I hope not Europe or Asia.. With the exception of a few strange things, I don't have words for the garbage shows and few movies that I've seen come out of there;) I'm just shutting up though and hoping you all have better. Really though, there are a lot of movies, television shows, plays, and such coming out of hollywood that have plenty of depth.. Your loss if you only watch the garbage. In any case, it's only two hour entertainment.. Don't like it? Go outside or read a nice book or something. Give me a break.. Troll.
In some cases, yes it is. Overall though, I don't think so, but even if you could say that.. What does a fixation with seeking identity have to do with science?
It just seems to me that this is just like what the catholic church used to do.. You don't believe in our beliefs? Well screw you;) This is just basically.. You believe in something we don't? Screw you.
What does that have to do with his contributions to society? Just because he believes something you don't, I don't understand why that makes him ineligable..
It amuses me when people become more ignorant than the people they believe are ignorant, if that makes sense.
I think a lot of people want a hard copy when they buy something like this.. Something they can share in person, read when the power's out, take around wherever they go.. It's not always feasible to take an ebook reader or a laptop everywhere you go.. Plus, after spending money on a good book it's nice to actually have something to show for it.
Why on earth not? If your wife thinks she looks good in a bright pink dress, but you know she doesn't.. Does that mean you shouldn't be married?;) One thing has nothing to do with another.. The Nobel Prize doesn't seem to have anything to do with your overall views. Just look at who else they've given other prizes to (especially look at the peace prizes)..
Anyone who thinks anything is put on earth as just a 'mystery' is a bit silly.. Even the Church goers I'm friends with believe everything has a place and a reason, but anyway... If you're taught something is true from birth.. and you actually feel bound to it for the rest of your life, how is that different? I mean, most Christians I know don't go oh.. I have no idea if God is real, but I'm going to believe in him anyway. Being religious or not is not as simple as deciding whether you'd rather have a car or a truck. This is something embedded in their mind their entire life. They feel it is true with all their heart, and it has absolutely nothing to do with their achievements..
As long as you aren't pretending to be a lawyer you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If IANAL was saving you.. You'd also have to put I Am Not A Judge, I Am Not A Government Official, I Am Not An Expert On This Law, etc,.
If you're a programmer that just does this as a hobby and want some pizza money, this is cool.. but.. Has anyone ever thought of the fact that the time spent on most of these games would get you a whole lot more money if you spent that time on a real job?;P I'm all for these contests, but it'd be nice if big companies would sponser these things..
This doesn't make sense to me.. Bush in that case was trying to keep money taken away from people for [oftenly] frivolous claims.. Thereby making medical costs go down overall.. So how on earth does that translate to vetoing a ban on internet tax?
N02?... Well, last I checked it was N2O, and I have no idea where you're getting the 0 from.. In any case.. 1000hp cars are extremely rare.. I have yet to see a true 1000hp Supra in real life. I've heard of on a few from credible sources, and they were running massive nitrous and such when they pulled those numbers (in fact, they were probably more theoretical numbers than tested).. It is NOT as simple as a little porting and slapping on a big turbo. If it were that simple, there would be more 1000hp supras running around the strip and streets.. It's hard enough to get 500hp out of those little things, let alone 1000+.. I challenge the guy to show me some time slips and list of modifications.. If a car is actually making 1000hp and is streetable.. that had to be a shitload of money and time spent.
Did he actually ever do it? Could it be driven for more than a few minutes? Could you even handle driving it on the road? Like another guy said, that's more than a race car. For one thing you would have to modify the heck out of a Supra's bottom end, transmission, and rear end for it to last past your first burn out.. Second, nitrous and running boost to the physical limits of the car's engine really wouldn't be drivable.. Lastly, it's near impossible to safely drive a car with that much horsepower in say.. city traffic.. My electives were all automotive mechanics oriented, and while it is quite possible to get a small engine making those numbers.. We're talking top of the line technology, expert knowledge, tens of thousands of dollars, and 'assistance' that you can't really can't apply to daily driving.. I mean a lot of cars these days are tough enough to handle a 200hp shot of nitrous, but that doesn't mean we take that into account when we're talking gas mileages..
Typo? A '98 supra isn't making 1000hp unless you dropped in a new engine and run nitromethane or something.. In any case, my 1984 Corvette puts out 321hp on the engine dyno and gets 39mpg on 89 octane going a steady 75mph on the interstate.
And worst of all...... Some people find it necessary to post and rip on people just because they enjoy a tv show;) The Simpsons is a comedy (mostly) show, of course people are going to find funny quotes from it and start quoting it. It's a little silly sometimes, but geeze loosen up and have a quick free laugh.
Hmm.. Well considering that puts Carter in the company of people like Yasser Arafat and Le Duc Tho.. And we won't even count nominees such as Adolph Hitler and Saddam Hussein;) Perhaps it isn't so bad?
If they said, I did see/hear it.. However, I just assumed it was because making water proof doors was proving to be a bitch, making a coupe possibly really unsafe.. Even with doors it wouldn't be really safe in my mind.. I saw it on tv and it doesn't look extremely stable to me, I'd feel bad for the guy that spends a ton of money on this and then flips it his first time out.. (Then again.. Maybe I won't feel sorry for the rich bastard..;P)
Again you show your lack of intelligence. Since when does going to college mean you're a kid? Maybe you were lucky and got to go to college right out of school, but some of us had to get jobs and be providers. Pretty sad though, that all you can come up with as a response is to say I'm a kid and an ass. You probably didn't even pay attention to my post, since it's so obvious you're unable to control your own emotions.

Complete ignorance on everyone's part.

But without his genes.. All the motivation and steroids in the world would only get him so far ;P
Let me try.. Good response! You're definitely a moron.

but what about the parts I want that Mozilla doesn't give me options for? What about if I don't want it to render text, only images? ;p
Bowling class?...

Maybe they realized how much The Sims Online sucks ;P
He's not a bodybuilder because of his genes.. He *WAS* a *GOOD* bodybuilder because of his genes ;)

Since when are you a kid or elderly?
306 cubic inches is ~5,012cc I believe.. Since when do americans measure car engines in CCs anyway ;p
