Don't worry, if you've any decent amount of morphine in you, getting your arse wiped will be a rare concern. With a pint of the stuff in your bloodstream you won't be worrying about any of the rest of it for very long either.
No, I understand that 'per capita' refers to the average 'per head', I'm saying that this metric isn't necessarily relevant when you take into account that there are four times as many heads involved on one side of this comparison as there were on the other.
I think the opposition being suggested was more along the lines of "You have a gun, I don't, and you want to kill me, but if you shoot me EVERYONE will know. Your wife and friends will never talk to you again, the residents of your apartment building will get spat on in the street and know that it's because of you, and you'd better be able to grow your own food because there isn't a grocery store in 100 miles that'll still serve you. Now, have a long hard think about that and decide if it's still worth it..."
Straw-man, there are roughly quadruple the number of people on the planet today as there were in 1900. I'd say global communication tech in general is a more valid factor than just the internet, by GP may still be onto something.
In Kings Cross, Sydney, we've got a similar deal at a place called Govinda's. It's non-profit, run by a local Hare Krishna outfit. No kids allowed, fucking delicious all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet, followed by a movie in a small, comfortable theatre with tiers of mattresses with backrests instead of seats, and the whole experience costs a dollar or two more than what you'd pay at a normal cinema with a large drink and popcorn. The picture's average and the sound quality is a bit underwhelming, but no one cares because it's awesome.
I'll do the big cinema thing for the occasional blockbuster like Dark Knight or Watchmen, otherwise it's Govinda's or home viewing.
On a related note, The brown colour of human excrement is largely due to the iron in dead red blood cells. Vulcans' copper-based blood means that their poop is most likely cyan.
Not so much. You either did something originally, elegantly or at least competently, any of those would earn you some cred and any of those would do nicely in this case, although all of them together would be brilliant. This isn't about eyecandy, it's about functionality and compatibility, and in a more general sense its about having enough pride in one's work not to sit on a halfassed release, attempting to add cruft when the underlying base is still flawed and obviously so. Deckchairs on the Titanic is probably an overly dramatic metaphor -/. is far from doomed - but it's the first that springs to mind.
Forgot to add: each of those pairs came out in the same year, there wasn't even a pretense of them being anything other than multiple studios cashing in on the new hot idea.
Antz/A Bug's Life is far from the only example, there's also Armageddon/Deep Impact, Romeo and Juliet/Tromeo and Juliet, Dante's Peak/Volcano... I'd say your understanding is spot on.
This isn't a protest against advertising, it's a protest against Google's privacy policy. It's purely because Google need to get paid that hijacking their advertising revenue stream might get their attention. It's effectively blackmail for (depending on your opinion) a noble cause.
FFS, that poor shuttle needs to get retired while it's still in one piece or it's going to end up scattered across the North Atlantic, and we'll have to make do with a scale model for the Smithsonian.
Can someone please build us another spaceship before it's too late?

Jan and Marcia Brady are the same generation, just siblings.
Live action or animated? Normally I wouldn't pry but my genitals wanted me to ask.

They released an alpha of Flash 10 for 64-bit Linux systems in February. Unsure of progress but it's a start...

I hope someone invents superstring cheese. That bosonic mozzarella they using for the normal stuff tastes like ass.
For every Alien, there's an Outlander .

Only if the mosquito stays still.

Perhaps that should have been "sploosh!"

How about Secret Agent Laser Obstacle Chess?

Oil's pretty valuable too. That's why I've got a million-dollar face.
Well that sucks, I was always kind of proud that my birthday is on the same day as Bell.
I guess historical fame through massive fraud still counts as quite an achievement...

A better technical explanation would be that ActiveX can lick Windows' bellybutton from the inside.
If your Zeppelin makes a *whoosh* sound, it might be time to get the parachutes out.
