Well, they last many many years, but some of my t-shirts literally began to disintegrate into thin air. It took perhaps seven years, but still. I had to re-learn how to buy new clothes all over again.;) And now my jacket is falling into pieces. Ugh. I wonder if I can buy another one, identical, but considering it's been more than a decade, I doubt it.
Neither do I. The believers claim to have seen money in 'bankaccounts' and 'wallets', alas, I can find no money there. As Carl Sagan said, 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence'.
Yeah. Often these people are young, in my age range, and I know how hard it is to find a job these days. I feel bad for saying no, no, no to them, but really, I'm not interested. And I wouldn't buy from them just so they can keep their job, either.
Why are the telemarketing companies worried? This list of people who do not wish to be called, are probably people who wouldn't buy anything from them in the first place. This list should be welcomed as it prevent them from making 30 million calls on which they will not make any money on.
Feet, miles... means nothing to me. I want to know what it is in *real* units, such as furlongs.:-D (seriously... get with the goddamn metric program already.)
Actually yes we do have our own space programs, at least many of us. Most of them are modest though, and it is together as ESA that we can do greater things (if only they get enough funding...)
Which only mean they would turn back the clock to a time when people watched movies not knowing they sucked, rather than actually making movies that do not suck.
I see no reason why people from all over the world couldn't join in on great space projects together. Of course, the bureaucracy and administration and lawyers will suck up a lot of cash, but I still think it could work. After all, people who are visionaries enough to plan such projects can hardly be narrowminded and bigoted people. At least that's what I like to think...
I think that if we realize that it's barbaric and stupid to constantly kill massive amounts of people, in order to only become leaders over a small part of this grain of sand we call Earth, then we could spend money on improving everyone's lives and there would be massive amounts of cash left for great space projects. But instead, we spend our money on other things... It's stupid and sad.
Consider the size of our galaxy, the number of stars and planets where there may be intelligent civilizations. Think about how many of those would know of our existence, and then actually contact us. Are we looking in the right direction? At the right frequencies? Do we have sensitive instruments enough? Even if we do, can we know what is a signal and what is not? I'm not optimistic.:(
I suffer from the exact same thing, but I actually suspect that I do have ADD or something. I can't focus. My mind wanders. I get lost in my own train of thought. Sometimes I'm worried I've done things or will do things I can't remember ever doing. My student room look like an accident in a warehouse or something.
All websites physically in Sweden, or all websites that's in swedish, no matter the physical whereabouts? Either way, stupid law. As such, nothing new to see.

I think it would be good for geeks worldwide to have our ubergeek to be an actionhero...
Natalie "Hot Grits" Portman as his love interest who is also a Porshe racer...
Hm, I would like to add in Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner and Katie Holmes. If that's not possible, I would just keep them for myself then :)
Steve Ballmer, who screams "On your mark, get set, go" over and over like the crazed monkey he is...
Have to tell you, those filmclips that he appeared on were just pure gold. I'm wondering if his coca cola was spiked with ecstacy or something.

Good heavens, I wish I had modpoints today!
One of my favourites was Io.
You have the right to speak your mind, but no one can be forced to listen.
One theory to rule them all!

I would say it encourage invention, since others have to come up with an idea on their own.

But in Civ II you can't cross the poles, right?
Draw a UFO on the T-shirt and with the text "Close encounter of the nerd kind"
But I live in the wrong country, so...
It doesn't matter! Or in other words: antimatter.

Not if you try to imagine the french people speaking french.
No one can accuse Slashdot of being US-centric today, with news from Australia, France and Germany all on the front page!
