This is a good thing for pupils all over the world. No need to recite a list of planets as they've a definition they can give.
Recital is dead knowledge, anyway.
I'm not going to rant (this time) about how every RPG (PnP or C) always has the same classes and variants of the same races (seriously, why do priests always heal? I've never met a priest who heals better than a doctor). That aside, why do they always call them rogues? Now, english isn't my first language, but I am fluent in it. Rarely do I encounter the word "rogue" outside of the RPG-sphere. You never hear that a rogue has been terrorising London, picpocketing and backstabbing...
I did a quick synonym.com search, and came up with a definition and some alternative names...
rogue -- (a deceitful and unreliable scoundrel)
knave
rascal
rapscallion
scalawag
scallywag
varlet
I want to be a svallywag, deceiting and acting generally unreliably towards my fellow players. Let the assasins (or some such) put poisoned blades into their enemies's backsides, and I'll make off with the loot.
Seems to me it'd have to be an awfully rare and usefull metal to export it from Mars back here. Which metals did you mean? The price of gold wouldn't even begin to cover the freight-costs, but some sort of insanely usefull but frustratingly rare compound could perhaps be a candidate? Please explain.
Truthfully I do think that they will lose members. They can either:
Create a new account on the new site (active involvement)
Link new account to old account (involves remembering things)
Download Boinc (go out and get something new)
Insert project ID code (new stuff, not previously needed)
or they can
Do nothing, everything is configured already and working by itself giving warm fozzy feeling
I know I'm not going to bother. It's not important enough to me, although I thought it was kind of cool when I started my Seti@home account. I have since lost interest (having about a 30-minute attention-span), and been happily churning data since.
All we need now is some super-strong string, maybe something made out of carbon or some such material, and we'll be good on our way to a space elevator.
Stating the obvious and well-known isn't "News for Nerds" even though it's about "Stuff that matters."
Getting tired of seeing non-news and reports about non-events or non-findings
Why is is that almost every feature posted on (the admittedly good) Gamasutra makes a slashdot post about 12hrs later? Someone is really milking that site;)
Is it just me, or has the guy in the middle picture down on the third page got some impossibly long arms? Are Japanese programmers extremely well-armed?
And when a marketroid starts talking as if their solution is the be-all-end-all without examining your details specifically, you know they're BSing you and you have no reason to think that you're safe.
IIRC the oxygen generator on ISS is the same type as was used on MIR? Seem to remember a slashdot -story about lack of engineers who knew how to work it a few months back.
That would make parent-post's point moot in this particular case, methinks...
Rakørret is. Just another disgusting variety on the mostly-decayed-fish theme here in Scandinavia. You take salt in a big jar or bowl (must be thoroughly cleaned), add trout in layers (dorsal down, side-by-side, salt in between layers) and let it ferment (dig it down into the ground) for a month or three (6-10 weeks).
Every year some people die here in Norway from eating this "delicacy" prepared traditionally. When it's not done just right the meat is a perfect little place for bacteria, and general nasties. Incidentally, just now is the time we eat it (well, I don't), so if you read Norwegian you could keep an eye on our newspapers for the yearly deaths. Should be coming up any time now.

Mine made it, just wish I was rich enough to afford something more...

Ah but why then is the closed-source Opera better than Firefox?

I for one welcome our new slightly haggard M*rva overlord.

[/Grumpy]Linux gives the sysadmins indemnity? That's nice.
I for one didn't understand a single word of that...

bah!
Memo to self: read post once, twice, three times before spurning so as not to make fool of self again, and again.
Forgetting about mercury, are we?
At least a transition-metal, and liquid at room temperature...

BSing, that refers to Business Speak, does it? :-P
Dude, it was old.
Oh, and it crashed into the Pacific.
Let it go, man. It's dead.

No, lutefisk isn't buried.

Maybe the interceptor was intercepted by something? An outside factor would be an anomaly of this sort, wouldn't it?
Let the conspiracy-theorists commence...
It's probably a malfunction of some sort. My bet is it's software or hardware -related. :D
