1) Build water plant on mars
2) Ship Martian water to Hollywood / Bollywood / New York idiot joint of your choice.
3) Get some Paris Hilton / Brad Pitt / Hollywood dingbat to say "it's REALLY REFRESHING! AND TASTY, TOO!"
4) ??? NO! Label it with a fancy "new-age" logo.
5) Profit!
Now all we need to do is find a way to create some dummies up there. We have billions here.
Nice to see the best elements of/. are here
There- corrected it for ya...
Hey, ladies- I've had friends and acquaintances die from schizophrenia. (the usual self-administered way)
And- I suffer from clinical depression.
And- I am a kid at heart, but chronologically 68 years old.
Agreed, many of the comments are in "bad" taste, but funny, nevertheless.
If you cannot laugh at this shit, then GTF off of slashdot. The rest of you guys? Thanx fer cheering me up.
Try laughing at death sometime. But ladies, you're probably too "mature".
Yes, it's been rotating at 7,200 orbits per minute, ever since I downloaded it from Project Gutenberg three years ago.
Assuming it's on a 3" platter (3-1/4"hard drive), I wonder how many miles it has traveled in three years?
(SLASHDOT CHALLENGE)
In any event, I still haven't gotten past chapter one. And some folk here actually suggest I move on to Finnegan's Wake! What cheekiness!
I don't think I have ever seen any of my kids' Legos having explicit sex. And I somehow doubt that anyone else has ever seen this done between Legos... but if so, let's hope it is done between consenting Legos.
If NASA doesn't pay attention to his advice, well... Well, maybe he should give 'em what he delivered to this annoying pantywaist! This should wake 'em up!
And in 20 years, that'll be the same excuse given for building Ares's replacement with imperial units.
Forget it. Don't you UNDERSTAND? There wil BE NO replacemnent in 20 years. The US will revert to being hewers of wood and drawers of water. Education is not their forté. Much like Canada is now becoming.
Why do do need this "preciseness"? If it's 73 instead of 74, is it really important? Don't you have more serious things to deal with? (sigh) OK- you will. Soon.
In Canada, we went to Celsius- cold turkey- 20 years ago. Some redneck TV channels still announce Fahrenheit equivalents, "for our (illiterate) American tourist friends", but the younger generation just snicker at it....
Much as they snicker at Americans.
I feel very sorry for you "Americans". Guess it's just time to give it up, huh? Stay in your own little sandbox. And let the rest of us (the rest of the world) get on with it. Someday we'll look at America- much as we look at objects in a museum.
Addendum-
Just look at the Vista Task-manager processes! You'll note that FF stays pretty constant, and ONE task, albeit large, yet-
Chrome (initially small- Heh! It has to LOAD fast!) opens a new process for every tab!
Is that too simple for you techies?
I recently noticed from my simple memory-usage indicator in the Vista taskbar, that FF 3.5 beta hardly ever increased in size when I opened a new tab. Yet Chrome started gobbling up memmory right 'n left when I opened new tabs.
I hadn't gotten around to measuring Safari or IE8 yet, but I do know that I am sticking with FF 3.5 at present, as I only have one gig of mem with my Vista system.
And I might add, it works quite WELL, you/. linux weenies! (unless I start using Chrome, which seems to slow down Googling, and even GMAIL!)
As I type this, I have a netbook on my desk, right now.
The menu/desktop is trashed. This week, I installed Ubuntu on it, and within a day it got corrupted, and now I am busy pouring over fora and blogs, trying to figure out why the GOD DAMNED menu system is fucked.
> sudo apt-get blah blahhh..
> rm -rf blahhh...
> sudu install blahh blahh. etc etc. GOD DAMN FUCKIN LINUX!
Maybe I'll give my netbook to my Aunt Tillie, who always complains about her "Stupd Windows" PC. OH! Sorry- make that her "M$ PC" (de rigeur spelling on/. fora)
Ohh yeah- This is currently being typed on my Win Vista laptop. Sorry to disappoint you weenies, but it hasn't crashed in 24 months...
I'd like to hang around/. fora more, but I have work to do: so if you'll excuse me, I really must get back to my Asus eee Netbook ubuntu remix debugging!

you reminded me how hungry I am.... mmm... meatballs...
mmm.. noodly TENTACLES!

You're too slow.
Here's how it really works:
1) Build water plant on mars
2) Ship Martian water to Hollywood / Bollywood / New York idiot joint of your choice.
3) Get some Paris Hilton / Brad Pitt / Hollywood dingbat to say "it's REALLY REFRESHING! AND TASTY, TOO!"
4) ??? NO! Label it with a fancy "new-age" logo.
5) Profit!

You're confused.

Manic-Depression is when-
-Your wife leaves you....

THEN COMES BACK!

And in particular, they will wave back.
OMG....! It's only Schrodinger's pony!

Unfortunately the supply of cats is running out.
The live ones we can re-use; the dead ones are problematic.

Will this finally be the stake that is driven through the heart of that ridiculous "Our future is in Hydrogen" talk?

If NASA doesn't pay attention to his advice, well...
Well, maybe he should give 'em what he delivered to this annoying pantywaist!
This should wake 'em up!
Don't be so cruel.
I heard that he also had a headache, and was feeling "sick".
Well, Pinoqachole can also buy you a new liver...
OMG! Hitler was an African?
That Hitler!
What a dude!
Man! He was really something!
It's not well known but he drank Pinoqachole, and THAT helped the futurist-thinking!
The ROMANS?
bULLSHIT! umm, Horseshit, if I may draw an analogy.
This old legend has been going around the internet as spam for 15 years.
Where ya been, dunderhead?
Go drink some more pinoqachole. Then sober up.
And in 20 years, that'll be the same excuse given for building Ares's replacement with imperial units.

Fahrenheit is a more precise unit.
Why do do need this "preciseness"?
If it's 73 instead of 74, is it really important?
Don't you have more serious things to deal with? (sigh)

Why don't they use an audio message instead? That's not only safer, but also sounds a lot more effective as a warning.
And they could deliver it via your cell-phone!

From what I've heard, horses run rather well on Ethanol.
And believe it or not, so do you!
Now, sober up.
Next on the FDA's agenda: control all homeopathics. I guarantee you.
I'm a witch (homeopathetic branch). Do they plan to control my dried toad-eggs and eye-of-newt?
And what about my broomstick? Or does that fall under the jurisdiction of the evil FAA?
The body has phenomenal healing capabilities.
Phenomenal compared to what?
(would there be "miracles" involved also?)
