God, how fucking sad is it that a sarcastic half hour cartoon did scifi better than 99% of the expensive movies and tv shows that we've had these last 20 years?
I'm sure you mean backwards time travel. Forwards time travel doesn't change anything.
2 problems with that: One, traveling into the future is, from a narrative standpoint, fucking boring. Two, as an illustration of the first point, someone please point a major work, besides HG Wells' original, that featured nothing but forward time travel. After all, they always have to come back.
'Hope for the best, assume the worst' should be the mantra for everyone working in any kind of security. Glad to see the NSA living up to that.
I wonder, though, if the prominence of Wikileaks had anything to do with this, and I don't mean specifically, as in they anticipate a lot of NSA-related document drops in the near future, but more generally, as in the landscape has changed and Wikileaks is a signifier.
Some of the nicest people I've ever met were from "shitass countries,"
You're doing it again. One thing doesn't have anything to do with the other. I have friends, relatives and acquaintances all over the world, and it has exactly zero bearing on whether I think a country's being run like shit or not.
Plus, if we were talking about, say, Ireland or Mexico or Jamaica, I'd give you some leeway, but fucking China and India? Give me a break. If you're gonna argue, don't pull a Donny Rumsfeld and walk in naked.
This. The original isn't Citizen Kane, but it does hold up better than many of the films that came out during that time. Same goes for the SFX in my opinion (as long as you don't consider ROTJ).
Are you sure? It would look pretty bad for Amazon if their sites kept getting taken down. Like I told someone else in this thread, this is as much about perception as it is actual hard data. Welcome to the world of business.
Unless all these other websites decide to hitch up with Amazon's hosting services.
Also, you're looking at this from a technical point of view. This is as much about the media and their perception of events as it is about what machinery and software was being used.
Well done anonymous, you've just handed Amazon their marketing for their hosting services for the considerable future.
And even if you haven't, there's still a ton of suited fatcats chortling merrily about the concomitant stock price rise as they stuff their faces with expensive food and drink this holiday season.
Y'all better step it up, or this might be your Waterloo.

Good! Straight news not re-written by desk-bound "reporters", and opinions devoid of leftist drivel.
Unfortunately, no shortage of douchebaggery.
Asinine buffoon...And most are already predisposed to completely tune him out.
Funny, when people say that about Palin, they get called elitist. IOKIYAR.
Next you'll be asking us to bite the heads off chickens.

It is people like you that made BG a horror.

Wake me up when it's OVER 9000!?!?!!!?

As an admitted fan of the iOS line, that was comedy gold. Here's hoping the butthurt fanbois don't have mod points today.
But it doesn't matter: create a battery with the same energy density as avgas, and we're good to go.
It's utterances like this that led to the coining of the term 'glibertarian'.

Nice cherry picking.
Thanks for playing!
admittedly colorful and not entirely well explained
Thank you for noticing!
Good thing we've got the G8, the IMF and the World Bank to put them in their place when they start asking too much, eh?
Your outlook's more blinkered than you're claiming mine is.

LOL. I've actually been to those countries. Have you?
economic stories in Asia
What has that got to do with
shitass countries?
Nothing, that's what. Compared to many countries, not just the US, they are shitass.
Yeah, but the reason they're gasping is that they can't believe anyone but midgets and dwarfs* could fit in one.
*And Italians. Have you seen how small they are? You could pick them up and fit them in your handbag! Sooooo Cute!
Nice idea, but you're talking about the kind of political skills that come along very rarely.

Yeah, you're right. The second 'much' was too much too much.
they would first need to have some real accomplishments beforehand.
In this day and age, it's all about column inches, innit?
Yeah, a lot more harmonies and synthesizers, as well as a danceable beat.
