I hear salmon pollute rivers when the defecate as they swim up rivers in order to mate. This is probably how most rivers became polluted before and maybe during the Industrial Revolution (Lake Erie, anyone?). Factory runoff does have an effect, but it is not the only way to pollute.
Most "children" killed by guns in the U.S. are actually teenaged gang members. Gun control lobbyists just take the meaning of the word "child" to include as many people as possibly (up to age 20 I believe). Relatively few actual children are killed in gun accidents.
Of course, the inner-city gang problem is not easy to solve. It's basically existed for over 150 years, back when Irish immigrants first came to the U.S. Gun control cannot fix it.
Those "Worlds Worst..." shows are all crap anyway. Everyone knows it here in the U.S. It's just that they make enough money to be profitable. Television companies actually make more money off these crap shows than higher quality stuff.
I thought some LucasArts CD-ROM games did have those copy protection quizzes. I believe Sam and Max had it. However, in their "Game Collection" packaging (several games in one big box) copy protection was removed. It may have been because they didn't give manuals in those collections (thus no way to answer the quiz).
Maybe you could have just taken one bite out of all your food. It might have deterred them from eating those items. Although, biting an apple won't work so well because it will turn brown. And it won't work on soups either.
I thought that I heard that there are actually very few home computers in Japan. Their connection to the internet is most likely to occur via cellular phones. It does somewhat change the methods of interaction.
I'm not sure why Sega would be angry over the Genesis/SNES feud. After all, it was the time when Sega was most successful. They went from almost no marketshare to a close 2nd. The only ones who could have lost something in that feud was Nintendo (as it was the established leader). Their later problems were largely internal.
The Phantom is actually a virus. When it is released, it will take over *all* game consoles and thus all people will then own a Phantom console. Duke Nukem Forever will than be spontaneously written using the SkyNet protocol and all people will be compelled to play it.
If it's profitable, it's a success. And, of course, more profit means you're a bigger success. Sega lost far too much money far too often and that's why it had to pull out of the console business. Nintendo should be okay as long as they don't lose money on the next generation. If they lost money like the Xbox did, they'd probably already be out of business.
Of course, they always have their portable market to fall back on. They could always come up with some cool advancements in that.
The PS4 is in your mind. In order to load a game, you will have to read proprietary books that Sony has branded "Universal ASCII Stream Storage" (UASS).
They've ruined so many internet searches for me. Their "articles" rarely provide any in-depth knowledge and just take up space. The major search engines should combine their forces to wipe about.com from the face of the net.
Why, oh why, is slashdot taking them as a primary source of information?
Everything bad that happened to the Irish was justly deserved! In pre-Roman times, the Irish would launch raids against the Britons and take slaves. And they generally did it while completely naked. Damn those racist Irish slavers.
Given the French Riots last fall, I believe there still are plenty of ethnic divisions among the old citizens and the new immigrants in Europe.
And I think "buy American" has less to do with nationalism than overpaid union members. They were complaining about Japanese auto manufacturers until Honda and Toyota started opening factories in the U.S.
An episode of MythBusters displayed a.32 ACP gun that a prisoner made in some California state prison. It was crude, but it certainly is possible. If organized criminals got their hands on CNC machines or something similar, they could make cheap and simple guns (derringers or submachine guns -- semi-auto pistols are actually quite difficult to make in comparison to sub guns). The rifling would be the biggest problem, but they could skip that in favor of expediency. Or they could just build shotguns.
In the Civil Rights era, although most protestors/activists did not publicly display guns, some or many did in fact keep them around. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself never was publicly seen with a gun (I believe), but his hangers-on did have rifles, shotguns, and pistols in order to protect MLK from the Klan and other groups that might try to kill him.
Some civil rights workers also carried guns when working in the South to fend off KKK attacks.
There was an incident in South (or North?) Carolina where black WWII veterans were attacked by the Klan. They used their guns to fight them off. That same Klan group later tried to stage an even against the Lumbee Indians, but the Lumbees used their guns to drive the Klan away.
The Black Panthers carried weapons openly, bringing them into public buildings. This is what actually led to the passing of many laws that forbid the carrying of weapons. Before this, you could carry whatever you wanted and no one cared. In NYC and D.C. during the 1960s, kids could carry their.22 rifles to their local ranges without a care in the world. Today, the cops would kill you on sight.
So, I was just trying to illustrate that people during the Civil Rights era did have guns, some good (like MLK) and some not so good (the Black Panthers) and their effects on society were different.
Given that guns don't "just go off", if someone shoots someone else, it's murder (or attempted murder). Removing the weapon won't remove the motive. They'll still find a way to murder their enemy, either with knives, bombs, bats, poison, or smuggled/homemade guns. Making guns illegal will just disarm the weak and good and enable the criminals to overpower them.
I thought the Aloha incident was more of a maintenance issue. The plane was old and performed many take off and landing cycles (about 89,000 instead of the 75,000 the plane was designed to handle), leading to metal fatigue. Additionally, the salt water environment in which it primarily operated caused additional corrosion to cracks and whatnot. There were/are maintenance packages available to check for this problems.
I can safely say that High School destroyed my love of reading. I don't even want to read ubiquitous Star Wars books anymore. In particular, I blame Maya Angelou.
Christ, one of the most entertaining books I remember reading was about the Longitude Prize and the Harrison clocks. But I'm sure the Literature Establishment will never agree with me.

His mother sold his identity?! Man, that sounds like the shittiest mother in the world.
Sensors don't stop immigrant flooding, scorpians, rattlesnakes, and the National Guard do.
I thought I heard somewhere that the U.S. has as many (or maybe a little fewer/more) policeman as France, but has several times the population.

'Course they are, they just made large donations to the church! The waiters are probably heathens who were working instead of going to church.

It's actually "tinactin" not "vinactin". It doesn't really matter, though, because neither are proper words.
