You are a tourist, visiting a desert island just off the coast of South America. There's only one reason that you would be visiting this one-acre island, and that is that there is a tiny plateau reaching up a mile into the air, with the ruins of an Aztec temple on it.
As you walk along a path, you come to a fork. In the fork are two men, of which you know little, except that they must have come from one of the villages on the other islands nearby.
There are three villages--the Marqetteres always lie, the panguons always tell the truth, and the Shie'ep always do what everybody else is doing.
You may ask one question to one of the men. What do you do?

Different species cannot interbreed, but different varieties can.
If this is a new species, then this is much more than a publicity stunt. Toyota may have done what few others have, and in doing so, has shown that macroevolution does indeed occur, protestations from worshippers of His Noodly Appendage notwithstanding.
RADAR TECH. Sir. The radar, sir. It appears to be.... Jam starts dripping down the screen.
RADAR TECH.....jammed.
HELMET Jammed? (takes a taste of the jam) Raspberry. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry. (pulls down mask) Lone Starr! CAMERA hits HELMET. HELMET falls backwards.
I had to use my slide rule a couple of times when I forgot my calculator. Bit difficult for addition, but easy enough for trig functions and multiplication (I prefer my circular slide rule). Each time, after the exam, the proctor told me that he had spare calculators--and one time, I walked home with an eight foot slide rule!
It's the same blogger who, a few months ago, launched a campaign of personal destruction against a reporter he didn't like, linking that reporter to not merely homosexuality but to homosexual prostitution in order to humiliate him and drive him out of the press corps.
As I understand it, it has nothing to do with relationships, just with sexual orientation.
A white man comes to tour an apartment. Realtor quotes him $500/mo. Half an hour later, a black man tours the same apartment. Realtor quotes him $600/mo.
That's illegal.
Now, a man comes to tour an apartment, and mentions that he heard about the apartment from a friend at Romeo&Julie's. Realtor quotes him $500/mo. Half an hour later, a man tours the same apartment, and mentions that he heard about it from a friend at Romeo&Romeo. Realtor quotes him $600.
That's legal, according to current Washington law.
I suppose this is analogous to Henry Ford's philosophy for why he paid his workers well, in some respects, but Henry Ford didn't throw his weight behind legislation and bills for workers, did he?
More like how Henry Ford started a newspaper to publish anti-semitic crap, like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Does anyone know when the critical moment of readout will come for Gravity Probe B? It was sent up in April, but how long before it completes its mission?
(And is the readout going to be what do you get when you multiply six by nine?)
Personally, I'm a fan of The Poor Man, Sadly, No!, and uggabugga. I hate Atrios, but at least he keeps you abreast of what's going on.
For election coverage, there's Andrew S. Tannenbaum's electoral-vote.com and the polling report
I have a whole list of `em. I'm not gonna give you all the links, that's what Google's for:
World O'Crap, Matthew Yglesias, the All Spin Zone, Hullabaloo, Daily Kos, This Modern World, War Liberal. Democratic Veteran, The Al Franken web site, The Majority Report, Media Matters for America, TBOGG, democratic underground, hoffmania, and a few others...
This would go great with the old-school Sun Type(3/4/5) optical mouse pads. Remember those? My brother was a lab monitor in some of the Sun computer labs at his university, and he mentioned that that was the #1 thing stolen from those labs. The rigid metal surface with the clear covering was just the pinnacle of vacuumpunk technology.
All right. Just one other observation. Doesn't that make it difficult to press both mouse buttons at once? Truthfully, I've never had to do that except when using a 2-button mouse in 3-button emulation, but still, it's a design concern.
Just got back from looking up this mouse--is it just me or does it not have any buttons? There are two tiny buttons under the thumb, and some buttons above and below the intelliwheel (or whatever the kids are calling it these days), but where'n the heck are the right and left mouse buttons?

First post! Yeah! Uh, what's up with the comments?
Well, since you didn't put in the irony tag, I'll reply - Where would it be more appropriate to post it? terrorism.slashdot.org doesn't exist...
No, you're right. Politics may be the best place to put it, but it bears repeating that this has nothing to do with politics. This is not politics.

You are aware that you do actually pay for tap water, aren't you? It's not all that expensive, but try leaving your faucet on for a month.
Is it less worthy 'cause you didn't see it in the New York Times?
Funny you should mention the Times.(White House Press Pass Required)
1. Gannon/Guckert is a former male prostitute
2. Talon News was an online-only propaganda organ of GOPUSA.
3. You're full of shit.
Now, now. You don't know for a fact that he's full of shit.
It's the same blogger who, a few months ago, launched a campaign of personal destruction against a reporter he didn't like, linking that reporter to not merely homosexuality but to homosexual prostitution in order to humiliate him and drive him out of the press corps.
Jeff Gannon was not a reporter.

I see the soundtrack on Amazon, and a bit from a CD about space films, but are there any other albums out there?

True, but OTPs aren't reusable
OH MY GOD, THEY'RE NOT???
OdinHuntr, sit down. I've got something I need to tell you. Remember that magical night we spent trading ciphertexts?
Yeah, I mentioned this below. Sun had this type of optical mouse, and the mouse pads kicked ass!
