Exactly. Why use two clicks/keys when one should be enough for something you (or at least I) do so often? I use "new tab" more often than home, or forward, or refresh, or stop.
That is a trick question, since both weigh the same.
Yes it's a trick question, and you'd be amazed how many people immediately say "lead". Or some clever ones think it's too easy and therefore must be a trick question, and after a bit of thought answer "feathers".
And hey, maybe the bacteria tunneled it's way through there a couple years ago.
Also, the exact wording seems to imply that the species has survived below the ice for 120,000 years, not that any single bacterium is that old. And that makes sense. I mean seriously, it's not like they cut one of them open and counted the rings. It seems more likely that they meant that a bunch of them got trapped there 120,000 years ago and were able to procreate through all this time.
"A team of Penn State scientists has discovered a new ultra-small species of bacteria that has survived for more than 120,000 years within the ice of a Greenland glacier."
Troll? So I take it the moderators don't believe McCain sold out when he went from "torture is bad" to "torture is bad but Bush gets to define what torture is", and from "people like Pat Robertson are agents of hate and intolerance" to "hey, Pat, my buddy!"
A single-particle wide beam of anti-protons or something would be unlikely to hit any protons, wouldn't it? Then again, it might also just go straight through the target without hitting those protons either....
How is haphazardly hacked together code any harder to reverse engineer than intentionally obfuscated code? We know the latter isn't a problem for a determined hacker....
Seriously, I wanna know how long until the day that telepathic controllers will be banned from online FPS's due to unfair adventage. When all it takes is a single thought to get a headshot on the enemy you just noticed....
I believe it started with MMORPG, which kind of makes sense (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Then persistent online RTS, FPS, etc games started coming out, so MMO became a term for all of the above, though they really should've used MMOG.
Of course if you truly want your servers to be safe, and who wouldn't, we are introducing a revolutionary new service. As long as you make regular payments, we will be able to verify your site as copyright violation-free, and you will be protected from further DOS attacks.
As long as the fee is not hidden in any way, what's the problem? The customer signed a contract, and the fee is the penalty for getting out of the contract. I don't see anything evil here. There are plenty of monthly contracts and pay as you go plans out there, so no one is forcing you to commit to an annual contract. Oh wait, you wanted that latest shitty phone for free, didn't you..... Seems like it's your problem and no one else's in that case.
Exactly, they see a man walking on water and don't immediately think "oh, that man has nice chakra control, must be a ninja!" It's all Gods this, witches that....
Hasn't work for CS:S in the last few updates. I've had to ALT-TAB out of the game to "pause-update" to keep TF2 from updating, because simply pausing the update before launching CS:S was not enough for some reason.
On the other hand, the updates were always auto-paused when I've started a single-player game like HL2. I wonder if some boolean is reversed or something.
And there is no way to pause steam client updates.

My favorite one is "What is heavier: a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?"

I bet anti-matter will appear to fall down, but only because it's in reality falling up and moving backwards through time.

I think he is as honorable a politician as you can find today.
So, an honorable politician is one who only sells out for votes, right?

Nah, our universe's Milky Way has a black hole for a core. I gather that black holes don't exist in the Known Space universe.
Isn't there some way to block a magnetic field (with a material that won't itself become magnetized)?
So how large must the magnetic field be to rip the iron out of a person's red blood cells?
The prosecutor will compare that with
"I don't need any 'approval' from anyone.
It was an experimental explosive and I blew up my house
and now I can't put it back together."

With "Big Bang Theory" on NBC, can anyone doubt its the year of the geek?
NBC? It's CBS over here.
Still, it's the only current show with a laugh tract that I actually enjoy. Of course it would be tons better without the laugh tract....
So you've never been looking at some data in one window while typing the description of the data in another?

From what I recall of the movie, the hero's memories were tinkered with so that he'd think she was he wife.

So where does Prince of Persia 3D fit in?
It still seems a bad idea to turn someone's religion into a video game
Yup, as we learned from such gems as Requiem: Avenging Angel, Messiah, and Left Behind.

Still looks like Diablo 2 to me.
