Yes, how dare those spammers try to calculate the correct power of a number. I'm surprised that so many spammers use the same kind of mathematical equation in their e-mail....
I'm going to plan a killing spree under the name "Pajama Sam". That way, it can be said that it isn't only violent video games that make people kill. And my cousin is really annoying when he plays that game.
I'm getting a little sick of hearing about this. Yes, I know it is tragic that several astronauts died. Yes, I also know that the world (myself included) wants to know what happened to that shuttle, and how it can be prevented. However, in bringing us every excrutiatingly minute detail about this accident, the media has officially not only killed the story, but done irreparable damage to our space program by throwing accusing fingers at anyone or anything that gives the slightest impression at having been even a remote cause of the accident. Cnn.com has been running stories saying that the foam was the cause for over a month now, the current hot topic is some itra-NASA e-mail that pointed out the potential danger. How long until the "shock" of that is out?
Reviews from professional movie critics on 28 Days Later have been mixed, but Ebert and another NY Times reviewer were into it.
Ebert likes it? Holy crap! Stop the presses! No, seriously, getting Ebert to like a film is as simple as sitting him in front of the screen and hitting the "Play" button. At least it became less pronounced after the departure of Siskel. I mean come on, who hasn't seen their share of previews for horrible movies boasting about their "Two Thumbs Up!" rating from Siskel and Ebert (or Ebert and Roper) like it's a red badge for courage? Movie critics are morons with laughable "opinions" that contribute little to society, other than helping others to make money off a bad product.
I hate to delve into the realm of science fiction, but many hard SF authors have thought to counteract this by setting up a wide-beam laser at the point from which you wish to depart, and use that to counteract the acceleration from the sun (which by this point the photons of the sun would be much more diffuse than those brought to bear by the laser).
Most of this is pure conjecture (I've been reading too much Larry Niven), and I just barely passed physics, so I wouldn't worry too much about disproving this, it's probably as easy as selling oregano in baggies to teens.
Isn't this pretty much what everyone wants? If someone stabs someone else to death with a knife, you don't go after the knife maker (P2P software) you go after the murderer (copyright violator).
Similar to if you spill coffee on your lap you don't admit that you are a moron - you sue the restaurant, the cup maker, the coffe maker, etc...

The game was called Zero Wing, for Genesis. The intro went something like
"they have set up us the bomb!"
"Captain! We hace communication!"
"Main screen turn on!"
"Hello captain!"
"All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive, make your time."

You'd think he'd be used to the illicit sex and extraneous violence, seeing as he works in congress...
Oooh, let's put it in space this time, and add ships instead of characters! or lets base it off of star wars, to rape fanboys for their money!
