I can't wait to see them evict a few thousand people because they're living right on top of an old landfill. Probably more than a few thousand actually, as dumps are usually just outside a town, and move out as the town expands. so you get a tree ring effect of old landfills.
I think this has become a meme. Don't worry we can mine it from our own landfills ! Preferably said in a Professor Farnsworth voice. One point though, when you mine these landfills, it will be strip mining, not deep mining, so I hope y'all enjoy that. the ground will be too soft to tunnel, full of voids and pockets of gas. Medical waste, human bodies you name it. So I would rather we found a way around all that.
Probably. I thought the idea of the industrial revolution was to free us from the daily grind, and let us lead lives of relaxation and plenty. Yet every day, millions of computer owning people get in a car, by themselves, drive for an hour or 2, then sit in front of a different computer for 8 hours before going back home. Er hello ? WTF is the internet for ? But you dare to remove peoples *right* to be fucking stupid about something (cars) and see what happens to you. Food, raw materials and finished products have to travel by road to get anywhere and without those, it makes all what YOU do, pretty pointless. Yet the childish obsession with cars is getting in the way of running an efficient economy. And the amount of new sections of crash barrier I get to see in a week is ridiculous. Which is all payed for by everybody else, overtime, night shifts, 30 or 40 men and 5 vehicles, all for a 6 foot piece of steel that was surely big enough to see. </rant>
Sure, pay the writers. When they add something new to the texts then they can get paid. Changing page numbers and problem references is just extortion.

Bah, you know that bears actually dig the seal pups out of the ice burrows ? It would have to be a really unhealthy seal not to be able to get in the water when it sees a bear. This is why the bears go to the edge of the ice in the summer, to catch seals where they are breeding. If there is less ice, then the bears won't have to go so far, as the seals will have to come to land somewhere. The bears don't swim for the sake of it, just to get across patches between floes. But don't let me detract from the general green credential pumping debate going on.
I'll bet there was some elder when you were young telling you that you had so seize the day. But like many you didn't really believe it until it starts to get too late. Now you want to live forever... Think of your life now, what are the highs, what were the lows. Imagine a future where all there is, is medium. There are only so many rollercoaster rides you can take before it becomes passe, and the same basically goes for everything else in life. What happens to history ? Do we abandon the notion of recording events for posterity, because they're redundant (sending message to ourselves). All the calenders will get burned as cruel reminders, and I think the suicide rate would grow exponentially. Not for me thanks. Life for me is a journey, and as a good band once said, the point of a journey is not to arrive. Kind of hard to arrive if you're dead.
In the future, humans won't be born, they'll be farmed. Should Monsanto hold the patents on human existence ? If not, why give them control over our food ?
Not bullshit, not of your stuff addressed the point. Some people will get addicted to elastoplast. I've done many many types of illegal chemical, both manmade and botanical, and I'm not addicted to any of them. I've never tried crack, but I made a decision not to a long time ago. If I was already an addict I wouldn't have cared. Whereas the media and politicians like to trot out the slippery slope all the time. That's because they know that a lot of people don't know any better. Christ, if you have to remind people that the coffee they just bought is hot, then something's wrong with the people. Treat people like idiots and after a while they rely on you to do everything. Self fulfilling if you're a politician, see a picture emerging ?
Can we all agree now to block anything new that comes out. That way the spammers won't have an audience, and everybody else will keep what they have anyway. Plus it will piss off ICANN if nobody uses them.

So an IP cam sending at 300Kb/s is indistinguishable from a torrent ?

fucking grockles !
Personally, I blame the politicians for squandering the lead we had in space, starting in the 1970's.
Why ? how much lead did they send up ? Is it still in orbit ?

Or maybe he missed that we are "portrayed as" middle class eccentric. No where does it say that we really are.
So why don't they measure something small, and extrapolate a kilogram from that ? Why actually have a physical kilogram as a standard ?
And when did you last exterminate ?
Yo mommas ass !
That's how I always do it.
Even worse, they both had beards !

But lack of humans due to global warming is good for just about everything else on the planet. screw those humans and their radical human agenda.
Back to you, fuckers !
He's only one letter away from having a ghey name too !
Or maybe thats a typo.

How is "the right to own a gun" on the same team as "ban abortions and gay marriage"?
duh !
You do what we say - we've got guns.
Hmmm, free software and a Walther PPK. Makes you think.
