No, actually they're bras that the actual fans bought themselves so they could throw them about their room to give the appearance that a girl had actually been there and disrobed once.
Quick question: If you don't like Enterprise or Trek, why do you care about the last episode? I don't particularly care for either (I liked Next Generation when I was little, that's about it), but I couldn't care less if the final episode of Enterprise is good or not, I won't be watching it anyway.
Various companies are always coming out with new hardware designs that they claim will revolutionize how we interface with computers, like those split keyboards, and that keyboard that looked like a video game controller, etc but none of them ever pan out. This will be no different.
I live in a small town in Kansas, where I only have one option for broadband. Sure, I could switch to a dial-up provider, but then I wouldn't be using VoIP anyway. How many other people are in this situation?
Um, while I agree with your point about the admin fees and transferable tickets, comparing the software situation to a 747 is not a good analogy. The Boeing 747 was designed in the 1960's.
If you would RTFA you would see that he did submit to the more invasive search, was let through, and then was later pulled out of the line by a security guard who told him he wouldn't be allowed to fly because he didn't show ID.
But you could set up a system where academics could register with the site as volunteers. No one who desires to get paid would have to sign up, and those who did sign up are under no obligation to validate it continuously if they feel it's cutting into their time too much.
1. Make spyware
2. Get removed by Microsoft
3. Sue!
4. Profit
I think it would go more like this:
1. Make spyware
2. Get removed by Microsoft
3. Sue!
4. Get stomped to the ground by Microsoft's evil business practices and billions of dollars of disposable cash.
Somewhat offtopic, but how do people get spyware on their computers in the first place? Reading this article reminded me I hadn't checked for a while, so I did. Upon launch Adaware informed me I hadn't run it in 163 days, so I updated, scanned, and had problems, all of which were just cookies. Nothing but cookies and I hadn't scanned for five months. Sure I use Firefox, but beyond that I don't really take any proactive measures to protect my computer, so how do people get theirs so trashed?
I would think that a civilization advanced enough to build a sphere around every star in their galaxy might also be advanced enough to somehow turn the heat energy into useable power as well (afterall, energy is energy).
I've seen several posts about the evils of Roland in this thread. Did no one read the URL's of those links? Only the last one was to his blog/journal/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, the other two were to legitimate sources (eWeek and the company developing these things). I personally don't like the setup Roland seems to have going, but I see no reason to not discuss something just because he posted it, just don't click the last link.
Um, you realise that that has absolutely nothing to do with either the article or the blurb submitted, right? The article talks about things like alcohol tests for cops that pull over somebody, or for nurses to do tests much more quickly and easily. Maybe next time you should read more than just the headline before freaking out about "biometrics."
Yeah, I agree with the population density, but to put it into perspective it's Winfield, KS. The closest other town is about 10 miles away, also has about 12,000 people (a little less) and then there are a couple (three or four) other towns smaller than that between there and Wichita, about 45 miles away, which is about 3-4 hundred thousand people. That's the biggest in the state (while Kansas City is bigger, most of it is in Missouri, so doesn't count as being in Kansas).
Wow, your definition of "rural" and mine are way different. I live in a town of about 12,000, which I don't consider to be rural, where paying $100k for a 3 br 2 bath would be considered highway robbery.
Why aren't people like you demanding they share THEIR wealth and improve the condition of THEIR people?
Because as an American citizen I don't get a say in what they do with their money. I of course think that they *should* share it with their people, to improve their conditions. I do, however, get a say in what the American Gov should do (theoretically anyway) and as such I can voice my opinion that just because the rich people in their country aren't helping doesn't me we shouldn't.

I'm confused, are we supposed to like moofdaddy for helping VoIP or dislike him because he's a lobbyist?
(I take no responsibility for your inability to detect a joke)

Oh, thanks for pointing out my misunderstanding. And why are you modded troll? That doesn't make a lick of sense.

Holy crap, that rocks, I've never heard anyone else but my friends and I use the word "nerdgasm."
slows to a halt as four thousand nerds all simultaneously click "Submit" on their joke about nerdy girls in a band.
A girl band singing about physics?! It's a nerd's dream come true.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that the grandparent's point?

Hey, at least he linked to the actual site and not his blog-thing.

Am I the only one who has absolutely no idea what a Gil seller is?
Apparently nothing, as if you try to connect to it it times out (so at least nothing public anyway).
Kudos for the amazingly esoteric Simpsons reference (and shame on me for instantly recognizing it).
