because then you would get a very large geyser that shoots WHITE HOT LAVA into the stratosphere. Which is probably better than having the whole thing blow and destroy North America, but still not nice.
Long gone are the days of "mathnet", reading rainbow, bill nye the science guy, mr. wizard, and the like.
"Mathnet" was actually a sub-show within a show called "Square One", which was all about math. I know this because that show and the ones you've listed were the only TV I watched up until I was eight or so. PBS f**king rocked fifteen years ago, and it's really sad that the Republicans are trying to kill it off. You want to help America's children? F**K No Child Left Behind, bring back the glory days of PBS!
Wouldn't all that junk eventually form a ring around the equator? IIRC from high school physics, planets do something like that. Then it wouldn't be a... oh, wait, equatorial launches are easier but would then go through the ring. Gr. Stupid gravity. Always making things difficult for us.
Dude, no! Here's what you do. I say we bring back fucking GLADIATOR COMBAT:
1. Arrest spammers under CAN-SPAM 2. Ship them off to remote area of the desert Southwest, or perhaps a bulletproof arena somewhere 3. Bring in TV crew 4. Profit!
The income from the commercials alone would be worth billions. I mean, shit, wouldn't you watch it?
I was thinking the exact same thing. We're starting to hit the limits of mine-able metals on Earth. Parking a big NEA in orbit would solve a lot of those problems.
So how big of a stretch would that be from what NASA is talking about now? Could we slap a couple of low-G thrusters on an asteroid and have them gently push it into a stable orbit?
(This is, of course, assuming that NASA doesn't have one of their metric-system SNAFUs, resulting in said large rock plummeting into the atmosphere and creating dinosaur-like problems.)
Watertown is in Central New York. But you'd be right with Plattsburgh.
"Upstate" is a roughly-drawn rectangle about 50-60 miles wide with Poughkeepsie at the center of the southern end and Plattsburgh at the northern end. It includes Albany and Saratoga, which is where I happen to hail from, so I should know.
Technically, if she doesn't sell it, then no, it's fair use. A precedent was set for that regarding making tape recordings of CDs. Also, I think she's also covered under your right to make backup copies, since you could just claim you made a backup copy and then gave it to her and didn't ask anything in return. (One presumes that the sex isn't contingent upon her copying your music;-) )
The RIAA wants you to think it's piracy, though!
Well, they could just rearrange their platform so that the GPL, Creative Commons, and other copyleft licenses are legal, whilst abolishing all the "bad" forms of copyright, i.e. the ones that the **AA use to sue the bejesus out of innocent people...
That way, Linux stays free and the **AAs are declawed. Best of both worlds.
Quoth the replyee: Pandering to their "base" is their job.
No, representing their constituents is a politician's job. Their party base (which I assume is the "base" you refer to) represents only a tiny portion of said constituents.
So by pandering to their "base", they are NOT doing their jobs, they are serving the interests of a very small minority. Ergo, in this case, judicial review serves to protect the interests of the MAJORITY. The special interest groups don't like that, because then they don't get what they want. So they whine and moan about the "activist judges".
I could go on, but this s*** irritates me, and I don't like being irritated.

At what point in all of that do we get the plagues of locusts and the rivers turning to blood?

Obviously Italian women are extremely hotTER, but I will admit that Irish women are a very, very close second.
*kneels* Please, God, send me one of each...
Now if only we can GM the algae... we'll be all set!
:D
Oh, wait, then we'll have gigantic mats of hyper-intelligent green goo.
I... for one... welcome... ah, forget it
Am I the only one who wishes that MS named their product the Phishing Philter?
Does it have a frappé mode? :D

He sounds like he was a good guy. May delicious pasta angels whisk his soul into the embrace of the FSM.
I guess "fat pipes" is a misnomer, then.

Do they still have public canings in Singapore? If so, does it really make sense to punish a 21st century crime with a 17th-century punishment?

Yeah, it almost seems like an EXCUSE not to fly the shuttle. Are they getting paranoid about things going wrong?

I was thinking the same thing, and it made me happy! But then I read TFA, and it made me angry. Then I smoked some superweed, and now I'm happy again!
