there is stronger evidence that runaway methane clathrate breakdown may have caused drastic alteration of the ocean environment and the atmosphere of earth on a number of occasions in the past... most notably in connection with the Permian extinction event
I just love it when I find myself at a new (to me) website, and open up the noscript dialogue box to whitelist that domain, and I can't even find the thing because it's grabbing crap from fifteen different places. Usually that's my clue to leave, but it seems to be happening more and more often now. That, and websites that just love having a completely separate domain for images, video, and regional content, and then they smash it all into one page. That pisses me off too. I weep for the death of subdomains.
Or you could just drop the prefix entirely. I never understood why the "liberal" bit needed to be tacked on. It's a B.A., not a B.LA (or a B.LA.H if you were an honors student).
This rover probably wouldn't survive Titan very well. In the first TFA they state that Curiosity's potential landing zones are up to 45 degrees from the equator. Meaning it's not designed to withstand a martian arctic. And the warmest beach on Titan is going to be at least twice as cold as the most frigid dump on Mars.
Too bad the "license" only applies when it suits the record company. Try snapping your favorite CD in half and asking the publisher for a replacement copy (plus S&H), since you've "purchased a license and not a physical object."
The rest of the world SHOULD be worried. If SOPA (etc) passes it will effectively make a good chunk of the internet subject to US law. The remainder of the internet will either be willingly subject to US law, or risk exile outside of the "Great American Firewall"
If this gets rammed through your government, it WILL change the internet.
One thing my girlfriend does that annoys the absolute piss out of me is ask me questions when i'm deep in thought writing an essay or coding. I swear this is my brain at those moments:

Get your most closely kept personal thought: put it in the Word.doc with a password lock. Stock it deep in the.rar with extraction precluded by the ludicrous length and the strength of a reputedly dictionary-attack-proof string of characters (this, imperative to thwart all the disparagers of privacy: the NSA and Homeland S). You better PGP the.rar because so far they ain’t impressed. You better take the.pgp and print the hex of it out, scan that into a TIFF. Then, if you seek redoubt for your data, scramble up the order of the pixels with a one-time pad that describes the fun time had by the thick-soled- boot-wearing stomper who danced to produce random claptrap, all the intervals in between which, set in tandem with the stomps themselves, begat a seed of math unguessable. Ain’t no complaint about this cipher that’s redressable! Best of all, your secret: nothing extant could extract it. By 2025 a children’s Speak & Spell could crack it.
You can’t hide secrets from the future with math. You can try, but I bet that in the future they laugh at the half-assed schemes and algorithms amassed to enforce cryptographs in the past.
And future people do not give a damn about your shopping, your Visa number SSL’d to Cherry-Popping Hot Grampa Action websites that you visit, nor password-protected partitions, no matter how illicit. And this, it would seem, is your saving grace: the amazing haste of people to forget your name, your face, your litanous* list of indefensible indiscretions. In fact, the only way that you could pray to make impression on the era ahead is if, instead of being notable, you make the data describing you undecodable for script kiddies sifting in that relic called the internet (seeking latches on treasure chests that they could wreck in seconds but didn’t yet get a chance to cue up for disassembly) to discover and crack the cover like a crème brûlée. They’ll glance you over, I guess, and then for a bare moment you’ll persist to exist; almost seems like you’re there, don’t it? But you’re not. You’re here. Your name will fade as Front’s will, ‘less in the future they don’t know our cryptovariables still.
Now it’s an Enigma machine, a code yelled out at top volume through a tin can with a thin string, and that ain’t all you do to broadcast cleartext of your intentions. Send an email to the government pledging your abstention from vote fraud this time (next time: can’t promise). See you don’t get a visit from the department of piranhas. Be honest; you ain’t hacking those. It’d be too easy, setting up the next president, pretending that you were through freezing when you’re nothing but warming up: ‘to do’ list in your diary (better keep for a long time — and the long time better be tiring to the distribution of electrical brains that are guessing every unsalted hash that ever came). They got alien technology to make the rainbow tables with, then in an afternoon of glancing at ‘em, secrets don’t resist the loving coax of the mathematical calculation, heart of your mystery sent free-fall into palpitations. Computron will rise up in the dawn, a free agent. Nobody knows the future now; gonna find out — be patient.
Try it anyways. I just upgraded and all of my plugins are working just fine.
Firefox's biggest problem isn't anything technical - it's that once they DO fix an outstanding issue, no one seems to recognize it. And IMO it would be a crying shame to kill a competent browser because of bad PR.
Of course, with a roll-your-own PC you can always consider reusing parts from one build to the next. A good quality case can last a long (long) time, as can peripherals, drives, etc. Heck, you can even take old mobo/cpu/ram bundles, underclock them, and stuff it into a home server of some sort.
You've made the tragically common mistake of believing that a scientific "theory" means that it has no support. Rather, it is the opposite - a scientific theory is something which has overwhelming support.
And while science may not yet (or ever) know the exact details of man's origins, we at least have something concrete and observable, unlike theologies wild-ass-guesses. And something is greater than nothing.
Border disputes aren't anything new. Canada has several border disputes with the US. Admittedly, it's nothing on the relative scale of Israel vs Palestine (although the Northwest Passage isn't exactly a minor disagreement) -- but the point is that if UNESCO membership required 100% agreement on national boundaries, there would be almost no eligible nations. With my apologies for being slightly pedantic.

Oh... well, fuck.

Don't forget optionally radiation hardened...
Because it's easier to PVR something than it is to sneak in a high quality video camera with a wide angle lens?
I played ketchup once. Ruined my clothes and stained the walls red. I don't advise it.
Tampon is on the list as well as period.
I'm guessing Pakistani women just fart some fairy dust every month then, no?

And Canada.
ARIN still handles the IP addresses for Canada and the Caribbean. It is located in the US and there is no alternative.

1. Make laws
2. Ignore those laws, do whatever you want
3. Make new laws to cover your lies
4. ???

It won't work unless we can somehow upload a Macintosh virus to their mothership first, to disable their shields.
