Right, now come up with an example for intelligent design. You can't, no matter what you observe you can explain it by saying God designed it that way.
Easy. The God would come forward and admit he didn't create Earth and/or humankind.
Analogously, if you wanted to reverse the course of the pop bottle, you'd have to launch it from the Earth's surface at a similar speed.
There is a difference between a rocket and a cannon ball. While the latter has to be launched with speed 10 km/sec (or even more considering air drag) to avoid falling back, the former just have to maintain speed of 1 m/s (or even less) for sufficient period of time to escape Earth.
Archiving is the best way to deal with any unnecessary and unneeded information, spam included. So many times I archived my workfiles with the thought that if I don't open that archive in 12 months, it is all junk and I can just toss it away. I believe my brain is working the same way only faster. What are we talking about again?
On other hand, it seems that losing the presidential election could have been the best thing ever happened to Al Gore. Oscar and then Nobel peace prize versus the Iraq/Enron/Halliburton/AMD crap?
I feel that the fact that most people waste 1/5 of their time on the internet may be a good indication that work weeks are 1/5th too long. In fact, if I could find a job where I would only work 4 days a week, I would probably be as if not more productive than now that I work 5 days a week. This is a case where corporations should revisit their policies instead of the other way around. But the 4 day work week would mean that one would waste 1/4 of his work time. Oh wait, I was never good at fractions.
Say what you like about Apple, there should be some rewards for innovation.
Then it is pretty simple. Suckers, who like Apple and think it deserves credit for innovation, should buy the iPhone. Weasels, who think that they deserve, some credit for using Apple's innovation can buy the Chinese spinoffs.
For observing their effects on the galaxy, perhaps the ETIs make changes which are too small to detect on the scales we can currently resolve. Or maybe they don't need to make such changes to advance their society.
Or may be the effects are too large... Hey look, the galaxies are running away from each other, aren't they supposed to slow down by the mutual gravitational effects?

That is Catch-22

And is it made from crude oil?
Not intentionally. That was just a by-product.

Otherwise there would already be a proposal to go out there and drill it.
Did you mean "go in there"?
Can't you put 10GB of RAM into server and use that? New Mac Pro can get 32GB of RAM. Near 0 latency there.
Is it a joke? I don't see it.
My way to archive my email is of course version controlled. Every month I just archive my inbox, date it, and send it to myself via email.
We're archiving spam?

640 cores ought to be enough for anyone.
And Vladimir Lenin too...

First time I played online I had my ass handed to me by a precocious 12 year old.
You better watch your ass when playing online with FBI agents.
That is why I have a clean reinstall for all Winboxes every Tuesday.
this Star Simpson person was pretty stupid to try that.
D'oh!
What's up with praising other posts? This is like 5th time someone praised someone else's comment here.
There are plenty of places with fine economies (Switzerland for one) that maintain a policy of neutrality.
Neutral countries make money on wars too.

not remove the time limit imposed by Netflix on viewing the content.
Oh damn, it looks like we are back to changing the computer clock to fool software.
I would prefer a discount for healthy people.

In the worst case scenario, the bridge closes itself.
No monkeys are left behind.
