"You could always move to a country where everyone have 5 weeks of vacation..."
Give up the freedom of the most free country on earth for 5 weeks of free time? Ha! Ya right nice try buddy, ain't fallin for that one. You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading such dangerous ideas. They are counter productive to society, not too mention how detrimental they are to the security of this nation.
1. no im not serious
2. where's this
3. how do i say "hey baby" and "ever had a real american hot dog" in whatever language I gotta speak.
"The day we learn how to couple electricity and gravity to get precisely those amenities (which really need gravity to make them happen - pools, normal meals, etc.) will be the day space travel and in fact the world at large will be changed forever."
And that day was in 1687. We call it Centrifugal force, one effect of Newtons laws.
At first I envisioned like an anti-matter bomb and that seemed pretty far out; but could almost see the military being capable of producting an antiproton beam or something that would act like an ultra powerful laser by ejecting particles as they are made. It could save money to, if you just disintegrate the enemy then you don't have all that messy and expensive clean up, kill 2 birds with one anti-stone.
"wait till you see the military budget if this gets taken seriously"
Don't wait too long to see that budget. They don't exactly post the "black budget" on the goarmy.com homepage. If they actually think they can contain that much anti-matter long enough to be stored in a weapon without accidentally blowing up nevada then thats damn interesting. Wonder what kinda superconductors they're working with. So how long till my flying car?
There's an Arthur C. Clarke book that said this would happen. Talked about some huge round accelerator that was never built due to funding and how pissed all the physicists were. Then linear accelerators were invented that were alot more powerfull and alot cheaper. "It would have been a mistake, but it would have been thier mistake."
So any chance one of these things being used in some sort of propultion system. Sounds kinda like the the ion drives used on deep space one. (or tie fighters?)
Hey look! whats that cable attached to the computer?
Is that DSL...no..a T3.............no its SUPER-INTERNET!!!!!!!!!! less lag than the sweetest LAN party!, faster than Internet2, and less holes than BSD! And I for one welcome our new super-internet overlord.
If you set it up right it might actually not be that bad of an idea. You could use something like GmailFS but able to mount your Gmail acount(s) and also simultaniously make identical backups at MSN and another random host. Then you'd have 3 up to date backups in 3 different places with 3 different companies, and once its set up it all runs behind the scenes.
Could be alot easyier/better protected/cheaper than keeping it on CD's, tapes, or your hard disk, as long as it's not anything that you wouldn't wouldn't mind someone being able to see at least.

True, unless of course your smart enough not to care about the money.
Or if your not smart enough to actually invent anything become a pattent attourney.
Thanks, I think I pretty much get what this bill says now. Well I guess now windows is illegal then; or did I misread that.
No you just didn't get the joke.
Wow that's a good one, heehee bwhaha ha, lol! lol!
And a sad sad day for cartoonists, writers, and anyone else with an in-tact sense of humor.
8 panels is fine, but only if they make it into one of those movie clips that are like slide shows with speach. You know, like anime.
Nope, still better than Ziggy.

So how long till we hear about a gigantic gamma-ray explosion on some small island in the south pacific that gets blamed on a meteor.
Screw all this e-bike moped non-sense. Get a motorcycle and pickup chicks on the way

Surley this has got to be a flaw inthe matrix.

If you encrypted everything before you sent it out you could keep it private too, the keys would never have to leave your box.
Don't worry Carnivore see's it all anyway.
