Better than the smell burritos make AFTER they have been eaten.... I would hate to be aboard the first ship that stows away something from burrito king....
Religion is also a large part of the reason for suppression of knowledge, increases in fear and the idea that "ideas are dangerous."
But once you subtract 'religion' and 'morals' from the minds of many, you'll find they actually don't know how to think.
So you somehow think that telling other people how to think is the solution to other people telling them how to think? Don't you think that is...oh I don't know.... incredibly hypocritical!
Think for yourself by thinking the way I think!
Thats pretty much what you are decrying and professing at the same time.
You are taking a VERY individualist view of evolution. Humans are a social animal, we can all gain from contributions from even the weakest(physically) members of society. How many artists, inventors, scientists, mathematicians etc. have had physical abnormalities(maybe even sometimes genetic) but have nonetheless contributed to the advancement of our species?
Killing anyone who has a disability(or just leaving them to fend for themselves) probably does not bode well for the longevity of your culture. There have been groups in history that killed any young that had abnormalities, one of the most famous being the Spartans. You don't see their culture dominating the globe, do you?
Yeah, but part of it is the principal of the thing. The real reason behind DRM isn't an attempt to stop piracy, it's a way to get you to purchase the same content over and over again. I am more than willing to pay a fair price for music/movies, but I am only willing to pay it ONCE. After scratching up a couple of DVDs(and losing a whole season of the Simpsons) I finally decided to rip all my dvds with handbrake and store them on an external drive(backed up and streamed over my airport express). First and foremost its more convenient as I can just pick up my Apple remote and watch any movie/tv show I feel like(of course Apple gimped front row but that is another rant) Secondly unless there is a fire(in which case insurance will cover the cost of the dvds anyway) I won't have to repurchase any dvd because it got scratched or lost when I moved etc.
I abjectly refuse to buy any media more than once, its the game they have played since there was more than 1 media choice out there, and that cash cow has got to stop.
Actually, now that it is dead its probably the perfect time to pick up some movies if you already have the hardware since there are going to be some serious fire sales....
Because everyone loves Krusty the clown and getting him in trouble with the IRS over his secret, illegal account in the Cayman Islands is going to make everyone mad!
and see if you can find something about them(hopefully without paying) that they haven't shared with you. Something like, "Oh, so your (mother/brother/sister) was born in xxxx" or "Your middle name is Tiffany"? Or you could just show them that site. Scariest site on the internet if you ask me(well, aside from vomit porn)
Someone needs to work on their reading comprehension skills:
In the mode in which the brace is only activated while the knee is braking, the subjects required less than one watt of extra metabolic power for each watt of electricity they generated.(emphasis mine)
That means that the system captures some of the energy that would normally be "wasted" and converts it into electricity instead....
Almost certainly, lost contact with this individual so I cannot confirm it, but he didn't seem to order very much of amazon at all. However, now that I think about it, that may have been the reason, or it could have been how he found it. He found it through some sort of deals website, so when he clicked the link and ordered it, it probably contained a referral URL. However, when he emailed me the link, he just sent the direct link to the amazon.com product page, so there was no referral....
but a few years back a friend sent me a link, amazon was selling $200 laptop memory for $20 or so. They cancelled my order after I ordered a few sticks, but they were nice enough to give me a $25 gift certificate(which I blew on anime), but my friend who also ordered got nothing.
"Troll" and "Flamebait" are at times used to shout down people with unpopular stances.
Not nearly to the extent that "overrated" is used though. Overrated is used to shout down people with unpopular stances by moderators who don't want negative meta-mods(since over/under rated is not meta-modded)

everyone knows they are just going to use the telescope to watch the Amazon women change clothes.
the article didn't even mention the Olsen twins!

Ride a bike instead of driving.
feature "Awesome chair-throwing action"! And have a voice button that features 3 different phrases, 'Developers", "Developers", and "Developers"?
noone can hear you now!
Are there any questions on your penchant for pineapples?
1 trillion dollar bill THAT fast? I knew the value of the dollar was tanking, but I thought that trillion could have kept him going a little longer.

Didn't you listen to Reagan, "Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do"
Not listening to Reagan? Friggin' pinkos....
is to come into work in the morning to find all the ink and paper has been wasted printing the goatse man over and over again....
also, don't make the word "company" possessive by pluralizing it, thats just plain wrong. Instead, use "company's" :P
while using your companies machines to play Halo, don't hump him or her....it will only cause inter-office strife.

NASA already invented that last year, but just forgot about it.
