Am I happier now? Sometimes I'm good, other times I'm beat up. I got two dogs who love me; they take me for walks. I wouldn't trade places with anybody.
I was too; From 1999 through 2003, I was on disability (U.S.) and eating enough to maintain my weight at 450 pounds (sticky keyboard anyone?). I left the house only to foodshop. I don't think I could lived like that without substantial chemical assistance (booze, drugs, or ice cream).
Overeaters Anonymous saved my ass; I'm at normal weight, married, in a 9-5 job. I'm still one shy dude, and can get antisocial at the drop of a hat, but I'm much better than I was.
And all they've produces so far is a few grams of metal. They get so excited, they start a company, promise to lower costs by 85%, and put out a begging bowl.
Come the Singularity, we will all be uploaded into computers, and then the replicators will work just fine. Then everyone will move to southern California, drive Ferrari's and sleep with Pamela Anderson.
Did you miss the Star Trek episode which revealed the Enterprise was only 6 inches long?
I would not believe the animals are enjoying their radiation poisoning
Mr. Wolf: Why, yes, I am enjoying not having my pelt nailed to a fence by the radiation-phobic pest control guys. Better get out of here now before your balls start mutating on you. heh-heh
See wikipedia on black holes. Any spinning black hole has a ring-shaped singularity. Anything that sits on the line thru the center will never hit the singularity, but everything else will. *cue twilight zone theme*
Only if you speak both Russian and English. When a Russian says "YourAnus", he won't get the joke. Black hole on the other hand is russian slang for, well, your anus.
Two supermassive black holes are spiraling closer and closer, leading to an inevitable merger.
But is it really inevitable, I ask myself? What would it take to pry them apart? Welcome to einstein's tractor pull!
Imaging the black holes 1 and 2 falling straight towards each other. (Trying to do this with them spinning makes my head hurt). You take a third supermassive BH, call it 3, and give it a large velocity relative to the other two. Send it thru the system at a slight angle.
As it hurtles by the hole 1, it drags it along -- has to come real close, but not too, noam sayin?
As 1 and 3 zip by 2, 1 gets slowed down some, but still has excape velocity from 2. See? No sweat. Now if DARPA will give me a grant, I'd hire a math major to solve orbiting BH case.
OK, I agree that in Amsterdam you have the right to smoke pot. But I can't think of another country that recognises more freedoms than the U.S. does. Where else can you carry a.45 and marry a 12 year old? Well, not in the same state, but come on!
There have been stresses and disruptions in many countries due to globalization, but I believe the results have been positive. Never forget the 400 million chinese who no longer live in poverty. That's a lot of people. Now if we can only get this working in Africa and the Middle East.
There are half a billion muslims of uncertain stability just to their north, and on hop further, a largish empire thats churning out killer machines at ever increasing rates.
The Ausies should pony up for a few hunter-killer subs while they're at it.
Don't forget we in the U.S. pay for awesome military supremacy to protect you from the Japanese. Oh, yes. Don't kid yourself, they are studying your coastal defenses right now.

Our oil is more important than their women. If an older version of world trade was in still in force (and it in fact is), we might decide differently.

What a country. Is the MIT part even real?

Why keep Sebastian Thrun out? He won the DARPA contest, and even used Volkswagen to do it. Chauvinist ankle biters.

The change between two consecutive generations is subtle enough to be unnoticeable.
Tiger Woods' parents look nothing like him.
Go ahead, bring your Bible into this. :) Science Nerds, Philosophy Nerds, Religion Nerds, Social Sciences Nerds. We all have tape on our glasses.
It's the scientologists I can't stand. (F*ck you, Chef)

Son of a bitch! There's a latin wikipedia!
... latin teacher overlords ...
Think of all the enslaved students taking latin, forced to translate entries. Eventually la.wikipedia.org will take over the world!
I, for one
damn -- just type in www.microsoft.com and www.yahoo.com to compare
he-ah and almost me-ah
israeli Ofeq spy satellites are launced into retrograde orbits to avoid dropping into unfriendly countries.
Or you could do it like Bono does, by wearing big glasses and doing alot of drugs.
p.s. I'm not saying he's doing drugs, but he sure looks like he's experiencing an alternate reality.
Easy solution: Make paper from the skin of corpses. "People is ... people!!!"
These goodlife trolls give me the creeps.
I don't get it. What happened to the dog?
