we've wasted our money on useless wars (Vietnam, Iraq, Iraq II, etc.)
Most people don't make the argument that Desert Storm was a waste of money... unless you mean that we left the Iraqi government in place and dropped all of our support for a coup after Saddam was repulsed. We had support from nearly every Arab country to take out a man who had started two wars in ten years and poisoned tens of thousands of his own countrymen. Not to mention we had 1,000,000 troops on the ground compared to only 250,000 the second time around... Although we did destroy any ability he had to wage war against anyone with a stronger military than, say, the Vatican City.
As President, I can assure both you and your viewers that there's absolutely no air shortage whatsoever. Yes, of course. I've heard the same rumor myself. Yes, thanks for calling and not reversing the charges. Bye.
... and ships that never re-enter the atmosphere but are refueled and stocked in orbit
That's such a good idea! I am so stuck to the current way of doing things that I never even considered that... But I would never expect something that revolutionary to happen to NASA.
I though the ribbon was much more about differentiating the M$ version from it's competitors and to create the impression that is was a new version and you were actually paying for something of value rather than throwing money away on a pointless upgrade.
Have you even tried Office 2007? It's a pretty nice application, for all the flak it gets on./
Not many people get sick eating poison-sprayed foods. Think about how many millions of people in the US eat processed food. We're talking several hundred million people, yet the danger footprint is so small. That's almost better than a study.
Of course, designing and assembling the modules is nothing compared to the cost of getting thousands of kilograms more than 300km straight up against gravity and accelerated to 7700 meters per second...
Wow. Even LEO spaceflight is interesting when put like that.
I bought a tape adapter for my car's iPod. I was happy with it until I actually tried to use it, at which point I realized I didn't have a cassette desk in my car... *eye roll*
You are talking about the PLGR (pronounced "plugger"), which is a huge brick that only has a number read-out, no map display. They are using a new one called the DAGR (pronounced "DAGR") which is smaller and has a map display like typical consumer GPSes. That said, I have only seen and used the giant brick-type PLGRs. None of the units I've been to have had the much newer DAGR.
It wouldn't have to be just developing countries. In South Korea, it's pretty much impossible to use anything but a PC with Internet Explorer, since they have some kind of national identity system that only works as an ActiveX plugin in IE.
It's not just their national ID number system (which all websites require for registration) that's like that. Pretty much every Korean site with more than just text and pictures is so heavily ActiveXed that it's ridiculous. I have to run IETab on most popular Korean sites, such as CyWorld.

Nuclear Launch Detected. :(
1996 called. It wants its internet back.
Just give me Diablo 3 in the meantime.
Somebody has to be it. Wouldn't it be cool, albeit unlikely, if we were the first?
Wow, nice post. I was very wrong. Thanks for the great reply!

I got my smallpox vaccination a week ago. It's gross and I hate it.

It is destructive to biodiversity - defining itself in producing exclusive monocultures.
What's wrong with wanting to eat the best-tasting strawberries? "Biodiversity" isn't some universal ethical goal to strive for.

It may be a small percentage, but would you really want your child to be the lucky winner?
I hope you never leave your driveway. :(
It should not take a FOIA request to find out
Was there really a FOIA request? I thought that only covered documents that the US government has classified as secret.
such as in an aluminum pole
Another festivus miracle!!
If once every 63 times you drove your car to work it blew up, killing your whole family, that's not really that safe at all.
How about if it blew up once every 63 times you drove to SPACE ? Sounds a little more impressive.
It wouldn't have been so bad if Jack Ruby hadn't shot the assassin.
Goo! Goo goo! Goo Goo!
Dangerous Waters?
I was just playing ADoM on an online server for it.
