The Sun does not move 0.2c wrt the local rest frame of the MWG, it moves 20 km/sec wrt to it, which is less than 7 millionths of c. Regardless, your argument is valid.
4. Partition your HD with a 10.5 boot partition and CS3, and a 10.6 boot partition and CS3.
If CS3 turns out to be problematic under 10.6, reversion to a working system is easy; the peace of mind alone is worth the cost of
a larger HD if needed (1 TB is still cheaper than an upgrade to CS4.)
Considering the volume of carbon dioxide emitted by the loud-mouthed opponents to the very concept of global warming, I'll take even a palliative corporate effort to ameliorate the problem. For now.
I know you're being funny and all, but you made me check. And indeed, 'fuck' shows up in the Dictionary app in Leopard. I guess they left it there in case developers needed to define that word between 'go' and 'yourself' on the iPhone app rejection letter.
If you want to hurt him, then just make sure that when you bittorrent his album that your computer is connected wirelessly, since he's allergic to...DOH!
Given that the Catholic Church accepts evolution, a concept religiously offensive to a powerful religious faction of a major political party which until recently held significant political power in America, and still holds sway within the corridors of power, I would suggest a good analog would be to watch how the United States fares in the next decade.
I know that there have been commercial and open-source attempts already to reboot M.U.L.E., but they sucked. This time, someone with talent should give it a go
— just make sure that there is an option to play the unfettered, unupdated, blocky-ass graphical original.
And, after all, the original developer rebooted his gender, so why not the game?
Using a sufficiently large diamond, the emotional pain caused by one's infidelity discovered by one's wife can be cured. And, given the volatility of said wife, it can simultaneously work to prevent the physical pain of being hit with a lamp.
No. His argument, correct but incompletely stated, is that any macroscopic object with a temperature emits a blackbody(-ish) spectrum which, since it spans the entire range of EM radiation, emits some light in the visible portion of the spectrum.
How can this counter-intuitive fact be communicated effectively to people unschooled in statistics?
It can't. People are stupid; Americans doubly so. We live in a country where half the people believe that a talking snake catered the wedding between a naked man and a naked woman made out of his rib, which enraged the upstairs landlord so much he evicted them. They also believe some guy sitting on a sky chair gives a shit how a high school football game ends. They believe that the Honolulu paper printed a fake birth announcement in 1961 so that 48 years later a socialist elected to take away their guns. And those that don't? They think that Kennedy was shot by aliens hired by the Illuminati and that a president blew up some office buildings in 2001 to steal the gold in the basement. Idiots all.
You want these idiots to understand how statistics works? Then you need to write a Java program that demonstrates it so simply that a retarded chihuahua could understand it. Oh, and it has to be colored red, white, and blue, cause this is 'Merica!. And it has to have tits in it somewhere.
To say that Senator Bono acted with only his constituents in mind is a joke.
Well, remember he was representing California's 44th (The Fighting 44th!), which includes Orange County. So he probably was serving *his* constituents, even though it was counter to the interests of the other 300 million Americans.
Under what bizarro universe does the public have more right to an author's work than the author (or their estate)?
The one where the rights of private property and public good are balanced. The one where the rights of personal works and public culture coexist.
Also, the one established in the FUCKING CONSTITUTION, where Congress is given the duty (emphasis mine) "[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries".
Notice also that it explicitly says authors and inventors, and not the estates thereof, but that is a side issue. What is important is that the time be Limited. Unless you want to get a shovel and go excavate Ugg the fucking Caveman and pay him back royalties for your use of fire and the wheel. Pelts only.
You start taking a significant chunk of that energy out of the atmosphere, couldn't you end up with climate changes that could be even more devestating than the global warming you're trying to avoid?
Yes you could. However, building the number of windmills required to satisfy all of our energy needs wouldn't make a noticeable dent in the climate AT ALL. Just to give a sense of scale, consider the following: wind power is primarily the result of solar input. At Earth distance sunlight delivers 1360 watts per (projected) square meter; that's about 10 megawatts per football field (or, if you prefer, soccer pitch.) Over the lit surface of the Earth, that's an energy input of 173,000 terawatts.
The current energy consumption of mankind? 16.
Note that this is just solar input (of which some percentage goes into wind power). This doesn't even touch on the potential of tapping into ocean tides, which is driven by gravitational forces. And of course the supernova remnant fuel storage device known as nuclear fission. Compared to the impact of releasing long-sequestered carbon from beneath the ground back into the atmosphere, stealing power from the wind is chicken feed.

If it's that easy to "make a woodgrain texture lots better than that one", then how come none of those lazy bastards did it instead of poaching his?
You missed one solution:

Wow, the native Americans must be SUPERPATRIOTS!
The battery in the iPhone and laptop are replaceable, just not by the owner. This was also the case for Steve's liver. JOKE FAIL.

Well there *will* be, once it gets through the App Store approval process. So, next year.
I guess China is afraid of the competition.

If the cock rolls off your tongue you're doing it wrong.

People are visible, but they aren't all that bright.
Don't give up hope — I hear they are working on a GNU vaccine.
It can't. People are stupid; Americans doubly so.

Well, we DO know that they are awfully good at writing numbers down. Sometimes even up the arm.
