the penalties are commensurate with the impact they want to make in the media.
If you publish a story about a guy who got caught shoplifting, nobody's going to care.
However, make a big splash about a 12 year old girl or a 80+ year old grand-mother and their dog being sued into oblivion, and the story gets everybody going "WTF".
They're obviously going for the shock-therapy/re-education treatment of the masses.
isn't there some kind of law, a la Godwin, that states that whenever there's a discussion involving the Kennedys, any mention of Ted Kennedy's car accident signals the end of the discussion?
This kind of point of view supposes that mankind is somehow an entity outside of nature.
If nature didn't intend for us to move on from this world, then we'd be screwed already.
I say let's go for it. Start terraforming Mars. If that don't work, we still have a couple of other places, like Venus and Titan, where there's already an atmosphere to work with.
Speaking of which, would it be easier to thin out and transform an existing thick atmosphere, or enhance a thin one?
No shit. He could've said "maybe there's a giant swiss cheese fondue at the south pole generating the heat" and it would have hardly been more ludicrous.
I think it could be from exothermic chemical reactions between the gases that tend to accumulate at that particular pole. Wouldn't that be easy to verify by spectral analysis of that particular region of the planet?
In fact, sometimes I think there should be a LICENSE required to go online. There are just too many id10ts out there.
Taking your rationale a little further, one could argue that people should be required to have a license to procreate, and soon, you're putting the "id10ts" on a train and sending them to camps somewhere./Godwinned
I can't wait until the neighbourhood drugstore starts selling HDDs instead of MiniDV cassettes.

The discrepancy is due to people in average traveling much shorter distances on bikes than in cars per year. So which would you ban first, cars or trains?
There's also fewer motorcycles on the road than there are cars. Also, in trains, there is a higher passenger density, which increases the number of victims per accident.
What would be interesting is if Rockstar decided, for their next GTA title, to give everyone a little surprise...
If, under the base-layer of GTA-style missions, there was something else lurking, like an evil cult bent on summoning Dagon or Cthulhu, except that Rockstar would have to not tell anyone about it.
It could even be a series of ultra-secret missions that aren't even covered by the commercially released completist guides.

My copyrights budget just imploded.
This is how I found out about slashdong.org
I hope that when Pfizer and Microsoft win, we can see footage of their CEOs dancing in the streets to the tune of Queen's "We Are The Champions".

I read somewhere that sodium azide is/has been used on roses. I also heard about surflan and colchicine.
Some of that stuff will kill most of your seeds too.
As with all carcinogens, always use lab safety, protective & handling measures.
Still can't do it in my kitche^H^H home lab.
It's still easier to soak seeds in a mutagenic formula, plant them and look for interesting traits later, then clone and reproduce.

I thought I didn't need to specify this, but here ya go:
People aren't always well-informed. Which is why I answered the AC great-grand-parent the way I did.
Also, Google has the power of employment over their employees.
Jump to your own conclusions
I have the mat spread out on the floor and all ready to go
Man criticises employer in public.
... why, exactly?
Employer fires man.
This is fascinating
Because the masses expect freedom of speech and opinion, but the people in power don't like to grant it.
To a lot of people, this is like an alarm going off. But to a lot of cynics, this is just run-of-the-mill stuff that's expected to happen regularly.
What would Brian Boitano do
If he was here right now,
He'd make a plan
And he'd follow through,
That's what Brian Boitano'd do.
When Brian Boitano was out at sea,
Caught in a war without GPS,
He used his blackmarket GPS mil specs,
And saved his cargo fair and square.

sheesh.

If it's a bit violent (like Duke Nukem or Doom or whatever the kids play nowadays)
Duke Nukem Forever has been rated so highly mature, that not even legal adults can play it right now.
on my employer's weblog anymore than I would post my opinion on my employer's bulletin boards.
I think that if you want to avoid being quoted as saying stuff, or avoid having someone steal your ideas, then maybe you should choose another medium.

Some Graphic Representation of a Survey
Just head over to your nearest Chinese herbalist and ask for his best "dit da jow" herb mix.
Let it soak in alcohol, then rub regularly on your affected soft tissues.
I tore my plantar faciae once, and it healed in just abour 3 weeks, compared to the usual 6 months.
I assume that it must work just as well with other tendons and connective tissues.
a "doodie".
I thought, pity the lab technician who had to do this for media purposes.
Well, also consider that, on top of torturing animals, Mario also committed arson, ate magic mushrooms, raided gold coin caches, etc.
He sounds more like a criminal to me...
All Mario games should be offlimits to children everywhere.
Dooku is evil, and he is more than likely the current apprentice to sidious
In Episode 2, Dooku was called "Lord Trannus" by Sidious, and fired lightning at Yoda.
Have you seen it?
