If you look hard (i don't recommend it since the picture is so big) you can find lines where the clouds moved during the picture. If they had more than one camera, maybe it would have worked better. I think the camera probably moved top to bottom first.
We must ban advertising so it stops fueling the rampant illegal downloading.
Actually, come to think of it, that wouldn't be such a bad idea;)
You can't get rid of advertising.
It's like a virus.
A virus that goes from time slot to time slot, sucking up our patience for companies that sell feminine products, forever searching for the correct demographic.
So one day your African start-up is merrily going along infringing one or two of Megacorp's patents, and then suddenly Megacorp's "security force" shows up and kills all the workers, burns down the factory, and confiscates the "pirated" material.
The result is a bomb which only goes off when a sufficiently large density of American citizens is present.
Or a specific American government or corporate official.

A driver comfortably rides in his moderately priced Microsoft Windows Enhanced automobile.
Suddenly, a homeless man stumbles out into the street, only a hundred yards ahead of the vehicle.
The driver knows that his Microsoft Windows Enhanced automobile comes with the best anti-collision program pre-installed. Instead of freaking out, the driver calmly applies the break button when suddenly...
A giant Paper Clip Hologram appears directly in front of the driver.

It's a commonly known fact that people are more alert/productive in cooler temperatures.
What this means is simply that when they were in cold areas, it was cold outside, but warm indoors because they had to use the heater. Usually when people use the heater in the winter they go overboard, especially in offices where it's hard to please everybody. When they moved to warmer climate, they had to use air conditioning more often, and usually people have the air conditioning on very cold.
Personally, I find that moving between air conditioned buildings and the hot outdoors gives me headaches, while moving between the cold outdoors and heated inside has no effect. Anybody else get this way? Might it have to do with the fact that I am from Connecticut? Perhaps the field of climatology is not so boring after all.

While a large office was being constructed, a steel beam fell on a laptop that contained the plans for the building.

Yeah, Rupert can make anything work. But that doesn't mean it was meant to work.

Just don't let the Beowulf cluster get near your sheepmass, or there'll be hell to pay with Farmer Brown.
I'd rather have reporters than journalists myself.
Don't you mean PR departments? Because that's reporters rely on to get their news.
In whose backyard does the nuclear waste go?
Whoever ends up with the nuclear waste is going to be the new breed of terrorists...and this time their mutants!

Actually, your legacy is directly proportional to how many furbies you own at the time of your death. Just thought you should know.

Who illegaly DQ'ed 50,000 ex felons in 2000 and attempted to do the same for 2004? That's 10x more chocolate ice cream than they got in prison.
