After all Star Wars came out a few years later and proves all the faking techniques were in good form.
Wow. I love Star Wars. It came out 8 years later. ILM had to invent a lot of stuff to pull off the special effects in Star Wars. They did amazing things. But if you watch Star Wars and are fooled into thinking they really filmed it in space then you truly are a peculiar person. Nothing in Star Wars would make me believe anything about space. Just wow.
Nope. If the astronauts were on the moon, NASA's communications would go to the moon, then the astronauts would reply from the moon. If they did what the GP was saying, then NASA's communications would have gone to some room down the hall, and the astronauts replies would go to the moon and back. In both scenarios there is a time delay from Earth to the Moon and back. So no double time delay.
All of New Jersey is full service. You are not allowed to pump your own gas by law. Everywhere else I've been doesn't even have the option for full service anymore.
First the bunny, then the bunny feet, and now this. I wish we could mod sigs. That is hilarious!

I was sitting in a Dr's office once when a strange guy came up to me and handed me a piece of paper that had all the bad chemicals found in cigarettes. I looked at it and noticed potassium. I don't smoke and agreed with the guy that it's bad, but I couldn't help but think, "Potassium?! No more bananas for me I guess."
However, concerning the question "When are we ever gonna need this?" I know I've asked that a lot. But my question wasn't necessarily about me in specific. A lot of times in math especially I just couldn't see a reason why something was important. Sometimes I had teachers who would explain that such and such theory could be used by an engineer/statistician/accountant/whatever in such and such a way. That was all I needed. Then I could sit back and say to myself, "Oh , that's one way to use this." I could then get a feel for the direction it was going and then use that same thing to come up with my own uses of that knowledge.
I know a lot of times that's not the case when people ask that question, but I would recommend asnwering it anyway. If they come back with "But I'm not gonna be a $proffesion", just tell them that they might as well quit school and start welfare now.
One of the reasons LAN parties last a whole day is because it takes forever to get everyone's machines connected and working... no reason to do this for consoles.
Then they're doing it wrong. I've been to two good-sized LAN parties (>15 people) in the last two months and we just sat down and started playing. We start at 5:00 pm and some of us go home around midnight. Most stay until 3-4 in the morning and then complain the next day at work that we didn't have enough sleep, but if we got in front of a game we'd play again. I would say one of the reasons LAN parties last all day is because they are fun. (Yes, I do own a console, I see no reason why the two are mutually exclusive).
A more likely reason we have 2 eyes is we were origionally predators. We notice movement and distance well. It helps us hunt. As sight is effectivly passive (we don't have to shine light out of our eyes) it allows us to be more stealthy.
While bats use sonar, it's an active sensor. you have to keep making sound to use it. If more predatory animals used sonar to hunt, then more hunted animals would be able to detect it.
Bats are also predators. Sonar seems to work for them.
Why must it happen at all. Let's look at the last 30,000 years. Essentially the kings/caesars/leaders-of-some-sort and aristocracy have been rich while everyone else was poor. There was hardly a "middle-class" until fairly recently (relative to 30,000 years that is). But now wealth is starting to spread to many more people. Or were you thinking that people living at the poverty line in most industrial nations are worse off than their ancestors several hundred years previous? The poor have access to to education, good food, and healthcare. Some will say that they don't and cite six-figure medical bills that the poor can't afford. I'd suggest that a lot of wealthy people couldn't afford a six-figure medical bill. Most healthcare costs are just regular check-ups or of the take-two-aspirin-and-call-me-in-the-morning variety. But that is not the point. The point is that society as a whole is better off now than they were over the last 30,000 years.
Let's face it. There will always be poor. Even if we got rid of the corruption in Africa that causes most of the poor conditions over there, if wars were no longer to exist, etc. there would still be the bottom 5%. There will always be poor. Let's make sure people have sufficient. I'd much more like to see people teaching good farming techniques, than for us to give out food. That makes them dependent.
The existance of wealth disparity today (and especially the fact that the disparity has only grown over time) disproves your hypothesis
Surely you jest. Let's paint a scenario. I make $5. Let's say it is enough for me. You make $50 and that is enough and to spare. Then one day you start making $55. Not only is there still wealth disparity, it has also grown. But I'm still fine. So if I have enough, who cares that you have more? Yes there are people who have less than enough, and yes there are people who voluntarily give some of what they have to those who have less. Don't shut your eyes to all of that just to push your socialist propaganda.
Ignoring the absolute destitute who don't even have food for just a moment, why does anyone have to have as much as me? Why must things be equal? Why must anyone give to someone else? You may say it's the ethical thing to do. I say you're lazy. The opportunities are there. Not everyone can be a Dave Thomas and go from rags to riches. But everyone can work hard and have sufficient. And if someone has sufficient what is the problem? I am serious. What need is a TV, car, nice home, new furniture, etc.? If you have food and clothing and maybe a little in savings for a rainy day, what is the problem? In my experience, both in talking with people and looking at history and governments, is that socialists either want more for less work, or want to be part of the corrupted government, and those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
And by the way, it looks like that pig game was pretty popular as it is the first link in a normal search and a screenshot of a game is the first link in a image search.

For the record, if FDNY ran into the Twin Towers and rescued the GP, I don't think the money was wisely spent. But I digress.

And the point he was making, I think, is that some people do the same with reading and exercising.
So are you saying you're going to pay for everyone to mail letters!? You are a nice guy.
I've always called this super mario syndrome.

As much as I don't like lisp, that made me laugh. Good show.

You must be riot to take to a night at the Improv.
In my opinion, anything done with Java will give a shot in the arm. And the person who does it in Java, should be given a shot in the head.

Actually, Virgin Galactic couldn't hire the real engineers as Evil Google had already hired them.
You could also use one eye and a tape measure.
No, but I hear they will be mounting refrigerator sized lasers on them.

But then, of the stories that are about politics, crimes or disasters, more than half probably come from a PR firm as well.
