Actually the one thing that would really benefit wikipedia is a feature allowing multiple versions of the same page/subject. Allow total free editing, then have a "version responsable" that comprises his version of the page, accepting or denying edits as he sees fit.
A sort of cross between the current wikipedia and google's knol.
This is called Flagged Revisions, and it's currently in testing. Jimbo Wales is pushing for its adoption on the main Wikipedia namespace. Go to that link to try it out and see how it's working out!:)
You know what, fuck you... I'm sick and tired of people like you proclaiming things evil and demanding a ban. If you are out in public you assume the risk of being outside where your neat liittle world ends...if you don't like what's happening out in public, stay the fuck inside and leave the rest of us in peace...
Let's even ignore long-term exposure to second-hand smoke: Some people need help to stop hurting themselves, like users of hard drugs. If there wasn't a stigma of illegality surrounding them, there would be a lot more people who were brought up curious enough to try them.
So where do we draw the line regarding bans on self-harmful items? Beats me, but I personally draw the line somewhere after smoking -- let's get rid of cigarettes for good.
I'm all for HARSH penalties for public smoking, and eventually penalties for private smoking. I really take a dim view towards smoking. However, Apple is being dumb. Don't make up stupid shit, because it ends up hurting everyone else in the long run (except for some shareholders).
And that even with a 6 figure income you're looking at 6-12 months of "credit building" before you can qualify for a cheap car loan without being raped on interest rates.
Can I have a $30,000 loan? I have a six-figure income, I can even have you meet my employer to prove it. What's that? You don't like giving loans to people you just meet, even if they make $120k a year?
The thing I'd add to that is that there are no anti-photons -- photons are their own anti-particle.
That's correct, but something I've never wrapped my mind around. When the photon and photon-prime are created, then one falls into the black hole, how does the BH know that its photon should cancel mass, rather than increase it?
IANAHEPP, but the perturbations from the black hole's gravity cause an interaction equal to the energy of two particles (particle + antiparticle). If one of these particles becomes Hawking Radiation, then the blackhole just created two particles but lost one of them to outer space.
A lot of people have trouble understanding arguments like yours that start with an "extreme" circumstance to show that there are at least some bounds. I'm not great at explaining my arguments, but you have to break it down to a basic level for many people.
Good afternoon Sir, I represent Monster Cable® Future Investment Planning Committee. We are interested in providing the highest definition audio and video solutions to our customers, and as such we would like to project our interest in purchasing your stock of Plutonian gold.

(I'm assuming American military bases are heavily armed environments.)
No. The guards at the gates may be armed with real pistols and bean-bag shotguns, but inside the actual base you will see very few weapons unless you go to a shooting range. Units usually don't keep ammunition on-hand unless they are going to the shooting range withing the next 24 hours.
You are not allowed to bring firearms onto base unless you have a signed statement from your commander, in which case you are likely bringing it onto base to store back in the arms room. (You have the option of storing your personal firearm in the unit's arms room.) Police are the only ones on military bases ready to shoot a bad guy.
A little known fact by a majority of the western world is that South Korea was controlled by military dictators since 1987, plus a few more years, even! In 1979/1980, President Chun Doo-hwan was in the process of consolidating power across the semi-modern country of South Korea.
Calculus tells us that as we increase the speed of the counterclockwise moving arm the number of times the clock is right will increase. Therefore if we increase the speed of the clock to infinite it will be correct infinite times per day and will therefore be perfectly accurate. Albeit dangerous to stand near this clock could double as a plane's tubojet propeller.

Banzaiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Some UAVs really, really sound like lawnmowers flying above you. It's easy to tell when they're in the skies above you.

A lot of us NIMFomaniacs will miss this organization. It always worked to satisfy us in creative ways. :*(

I signed up for Second Life about a year ago. Back then, my life was so great that I literally wanted a second one.
...Expialadocious?
It embiggens even the poorest writers among us.
You'll never get rid of "link rot", only mitigate it. Even archiving services have a non-zero chance of going under.
URL shorteners are problematical, as everybody knows, but with the rise of Twitter and its ilk they seem to be a necessary part of the landscape.
Seriously?? I know editors frequently get grief for this sort of thing, but come on... the word is problematicalic, for crying out loud. ;)
Hey, I just read about ten of your blog posts for the first time! Keep up the good work... and try not to crash. :)
I think one is justified in also blaming marketing directors
Removed the redundancy from that for you...

should ALSO be worried that clicking your heels together three times and saying, "There's no place like home" will turn you into a bowl of cornflakes

Are you kidding? That thing can't even stand up to a bird with a bagel.
It was a baguette, you insensitive clod!
Please see: Did a Time-traveling Bird Sabotage the Large Hadron Collider?
I liked the first comment:
Doesn't this concern anyone here? People controlling a multi billion dollar machine think birds from the future are making there machine not work.

I wonder what the false positive rate is. ;)
