But nature has a lot longer than us to retaliate. It's like that creepy guy in the office you pissed off a few years ago - he's just waiting for the right time to get you back.
Maybe but nature doesn't like to be anthropomorphised...
Console makers wouldn't mind it if only 1/3rd of the population had access to their online games, if said 1/3rd has to pay and pay to play. They don't care about providing service to the other 2/3rd, they only care about their bottom line.
Uh ? Telling two thirds of your customers to screw themselves doesn't look like a reasonable business decision...
Bullshit. Mankind hes appeared as a "natural occurance of the solar system" too... It would only be normal to kick any ass that could threaten our survival.
Consider, for example, that 500 years ago famine was a fairly regular occurrence. Now people only die of hunger in politically-diseased countries, and there really aren't that many of them.
You know what that means? We've exhausted almost all our resources of famine !
Those nuclear bombs stationed outside US borders (and the US nuclear stockpile in general) were probably the only thing keeping the Soviets from rolling their tanks all the way to Paris.
Most of the energy of a rocket is used to gain speed, not altitude. Even if you can reach 50km, that would only save about 1% of energy for a lunar rocket.

There's #10: alien invasion, close enough...
Also, its pretty ridiculous to say that anything with a transistor is "evolutionary" or that anything that can do math is "evolutionary".
Of course it's evolutionnary, I mean a Core i7 is not that different from the Antikythera mechanism...
It's necessary in all half decent multitasking operating systems ie. all of them except for Windows 3.1...

If you'll excuse my French: caca de taureau!
Fixed that for you...

And maybe that's why Europe and Asia has a long history of despotic strongmen. Order over freedom tends to get that for you.
Or maybe it's because Europe and Asia have a quite longer history than America...
Germany serves as a reminder of what will happen to a country if you vote far-left too long.
Let me guess... it becomes the richest country of its continent?

We have our own nukes thank you very much...
We haven't even discovered all of the prime numbers
There is an infinity of primes...
Because thats irrelevant in a server environment.
Ubuntu's main target is the desktop, not the server...
VASIMR is a new high-power plasma-based space propulsion technology
Yeah, if by new, you mean 30 years old...
No.
Right, because everything that could be used for terrorism should be banned...
The second mission, which should be launched two or three months, not years, later
Launching outside a launch window might be (barely) possible, but it's a terrible waste of fuel...
perhaps if you time traveled back to the 1950's in a time machine with 3 other scientists
Good idea ! I'm starting this right away, who wants to join me?
Alcohol is actually one of the few drugs whose withdrawal symptoms can kill you.
And the other one is DHMO...
In the past three years, I have purchased PAYG phones and SIMs from Vodafone, Orange, O2 and T-Mobile. None have worked without registration.
Last year, I purchased SIMs from Orange and T-Mobile. Both worked without registration.

Pentium 1 user, aren't you?
Don't know anything about exp and log, do you?
It's on wiktionary, can't put it here thanks to slashdot's handling of unicode...
You never watch The Experts or NCIS ?
For those in the rest of the world who wonder what Les Experts are, it's the french translation of CSI.
Next thing you know they will be letting the gays adopt Linux!
Too late... I'm already using Linux.
