OPEC pracitally INVENTED price fixing, remember the oil crisis back in the 70's? I wasn't alive back then, but I've heard about it from people that were there.
WTF?! At least SCO is using a *real* offense in intellectual property theft, even if they're nothing but pompous windbags. These people are trying to bully a website into censoring their content because it makes their development department look like morons. Looks like their PR department just got screwed too.
Remember the Dark Ages? Capernicus waited until he was almost dead before publishing his findings about the earth's orbit around the sun. The Catholic church warned him against publishing his materials when he first discovered them, and so he waited until he was almost dead. Same goes for the theory of evolution. It wasn't until most of the masses decided evolution was a smart idea, that the catholic church decided to embrace it. They're just trying to maintain their hold on people, because they've been around for such a long time, they don't want to be left out because of advancement in science.
Religions were invented for two main reasons. First: Humans are a social species, we like to communicate with other members of our species, and even keep other non-human animals around. Deities were invented to give people hope that they weren't all alone. You can't have an indepth conversation with a dog, but you can pray to a deity, and just have faith that your prayers won't fall upon deaf ears.
Second: Control. Without consequences for crimes earlier civilizations would have fallen apart. A murderer could kill people left and right without fear of anything happening, but religion was soon introduced to give a post-humous consequence for killing people, or raping people, etc.
Human beings are uncomfortable with something that has no beginning or end. Infinity is a concept beyond our grasp, so we need to have a starting point.
Not a bad idea, and the terraforming would occur must faster than through other means, the only problem is that EVERYONE would most likely have to move to Mars because there's no telling what would happen to the Earth if the moon's gravitational pull suddenly disappeared.
That's if you're going to assume that the organisms on Mars are EXACTLY like the organisms on Earth. Even for the same Carbon based type of life to form there, all you'd need to start is Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon, warm, add electricty and stir.
That's true. Vice City was just the old engine, but it was tweaked to hell, and it was actully best that Rockstar decided to just remake the engine. They hammered out a lot of bugs, made the game run a lot smoother, and still have better graphics, and they added a little more realism (such as weapon groups, popable tires), and the protagonist actully spoke.
It looks to be about the safest method of travel ever concieved. If there were power failure, then you can simply float down, and gently touch the ground. For added safety there could always be an emergency parachute.
You forgot 4. "They're not paying because they lack the funds." Due in large part to tution hikes, and book publishers' artificial inflation of books, much like the RIAA inflation of CDs."
Well, hopefully it won't be called "Windows Millenium Edition XP" or "Windows Millenium Edition 2". If stability is inherited by title, it would be hell on earth.
Mod me troll if you want, but isn't it funny that their intention is "human interaction", yet the first model is Kuwait? I think it's funny.... and a big friggin lie.
I'm more concerned with upgrades. When you want to upgrade just one componant, do you just replace the CPU pen with the new one? How does it operate at the same frequency as the other componants? If all models operate at the same frequency then a LAN party, or computer lab of these things is a big impossibility.
I assume you're using "far" to discuss lengths of time, and not distance. Everyone who's anyone knows that the Restaurant at the End of the Universe is located on Magrathera, just 30 billion years in the future.

And in other news: The shit has hit the fan, and Hell has frozen over
Isn't it obvious? Grandparent poster only had 4 hsf available, and none of them fit the AMD sockets.

Darl scares me more... we should set him on fire.

Those air plants had to evolve from something that DOES require liquid water.
People like you are why I stopped following the Christian faiths when I was a kid. You guys need to learn to laugh more.

The Martians saw our probes coming, so they just did a quick rm -rf /dev/mars/null
I used to watch TV, and my atten...
Oooo look at the kittie.

Yup, except for that pesky mailing thing. Unless you know of a way to get a free temporary PO Box, or home address like spamhole?
1: Introduce holographic-type porn.
2: Create a virtual wife ala The Sixth Day.
3: ???
4: PROFIT!

Fine, I'll take the title "Pirate" if they take the title "Mobster"
I've been waiting for this day... and here's what Agent Smith has to say:
"Do you hear that Mister Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability."
