Following the thread here, I started following some of the 'less dubious' links, and came across the Wikipedia ME163 entry.
Took one look at it and.. "Hey, that's the Bell X1 that Chuck Yeager flew!".
As a jr. nerd in the late '40s and early '50s, I kept track of all the world's aircraft.
But had never heard of the ME163.
And then I grew up. And lost interest in this shit.
Hey- A mortgage and kids of yr own are pretty powerful distractions!
But now, I'm...uhh, in my dotage. Time to re-acquaint myself with some of these childish things.
But Roswell? UFOs? Sorry- that's all BS...
(well, perhaps a few more years and the UFO crowd might yet rope me in... but by then, my kids will have a power-of-attorney over me);-)
You don't have kids. And never will. I can sense that.
Enjoy your selfish life now, while you're still alive, and to hell with the next generation. nfact. you probably don't give a damn about THIS generation either you selfish clot. The sooner you go, the better
Why have to move your arm or hand? There are mice (mouses) now that track your eye movements. Problem is how do you watch your 500 channels of TV AND direct the mouse around the PC screen?
Perhaps someday we'll learn to direct our eyeballs independently as the chameleons have done. Maybe even flick an annoying fly off the monitor's face as a tasty morsel...
Well, back to my disgusting Friday night consumption of pinoqachole. and other disgusting alcoholic hallucinogenics...
Thanks! It's Microsoft and the evil empire once again that are the true criminals. And in league with Satan, no doubt!
But why do you suggest FF and Linux as salvation?
Don't tell me you've already given up on your Macintosh! But then I suppose the sexy teach would probably be bored with those nerdy pony-tailed geeks. (in spite of those cool Apple TV commercials)
That antichrist Bill Gates must be chuckling in his underworld Redmond lair (no doubt full of porn!) Curses!
I have had a couple of friends die from schizophrenia.
OK, so they committed suicide.
Many schizophrenics do. They cannot stand the pain.
Do you know what schizophrenia is? What its symptoms are?
Ever met someone whose child was schizophrenic?
Ho Ho! It's fun! Better than Down's Syndrome!
Why not just say "Cancer is one word for it" instead?
I just drop a few pellets of sodium into my car's gas tank (it is half-filled with distilled water of course) and the reaction generates HYDROGEN to run my fuel-cell engine!
It's simple!
Bonus! At the end of the day, I siphon out the NAOH (it's Drano® ) and use it it to clean my kitchen and bathroom drains.
Just a small caveat: Make sure your hands are DRY before you drop in those sodium chunks.
And don't let that that Drano burn your lips when you siphon it out!
Note: Pinoqachole is not supplied with the sodium. But we are currently working on using Potassium, and perhaps even Cesium.
The ponies will cost extra, however.
...Would be to refuse. I just quit my job because my employer's practices were illegal, and even though I don't believe I would've been doing anything illegal in participating I chose not to because I didn't want to disrespect the law, because I didn't want to help him break the law, and because I didn't want to be a hypocrite for telling him not to do something while I was glad for the opportunity since it gave me a job.
I suggest reading some Plato, Upanishads, or even Kurt Vonnegut. It talks about the necessity of obeying the governing authorities.
"Pure and undefiled altruism in the sight of our fellow man is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." (James 1:27) If you're an agnostic then cleave to that. Tide detergent washes away those stains, but do what's good in the first place.
The moment your boss found this out, you'd be gone. And so would your credibility/honesty.
Install OO. Call it OO. And if the comptroller says to install illegal software instead, blow the whistle. And send HIM to jail.
Whistle blowing like this happens all the time. I wouldn't worry- unless of course you work in Saudi Arabia, China, Phuckedupistan or... ummm, a multinational based in the USA?
But what do you think if the situation were reversed?
OF COURSE! They would never turn you in, huh?
Your comptroller is a fool.
Get real. BLOW THE WHISTLE!
I warned my company (Cleyn & Tinker - they went bankrupt anyhow) of the legal implications soon after I got there, and they quickly bit the bullet.
And that was several years ago.
Hmmnn,, actually more than a decade ago!, and it involved the disgustingly overpriced Loutus 1-2-3 and Wordperfect...
An ex-salaryman.
a non-anonymous non-coward. (even if I AM plonqued on Pinoqachole tonight!)
A recent technical journal reported with some astonishment, that in all of China, there were seemingly only 244 machine's capable of burning mas's quantitie's of DVD's...!
The New Apostrophical Societie's (NA'S) rule is:

Just a small point-
What is this "Iceland's Whaling Industry"?
I thought that, except for Japan's "Scientific Research" (yum yum), Whaling was illegal.
Who is paying you?

Am I just dreaming of electric sheep, or was there some Steam-powered car set to run at Indianapolis several years ago?
It was designed by Bill Lear of Learjet fame, I think.
Whatever became of that? If it ran, it certainly must have broken that 1906 record...
God, YES!
I KNEW IT!
Thanks!

Alas, yes-
Someone has INDEED thought of that before.

Put this in your hydrogen pipe and smoke it:
There is more hydrogen in a gallon of gasoline than there is in a gallon of hydrogen (at STP of course)
No,No! It's TRUE!
I run my car on sodium and water! See my Hydrogen Ponies comments elsewhere in this thread.

From the MS website:
MS Firefox Plugin
MS notes that:

Save "insall.msi" to disk. Once the downloads completes click 'Open'.Installation will start.

Winston told me that it was Eastasia this year!
Perhaps you should check with the Ministry of Truth. Check with the guy in room 101, but look out for the rats!
