Actually, I've seen this plate on the web before, and the pedophilia connotation never even occurred to me. But then,. the necrophilia connotation of the St. Pauli Girl "Enjoy a nice cold girl" t-shirt my dad gave me never occurred to me either. In the same way that Jerry "Tinky-Winky is gay!" Falwell obviously spends entirely too much time and energy thinking about gay sex, whoever claimed this plate advocated oral sex with minors must be spending entirely too much time and energy thinking about sex with children!
If Intel was already using nVidia's patents, then why did their graphics chips suck so badly? You'd think if they were stealing nVidia ideas, they could come up with better graphics, wouldn't you?
People are still building 486 chips for embedded use, but it's a low-margin commodity market. You're correct, the big margins are only on the cutting edge chips, currently the multi-core CPUs.
Both ATI and nVidia suck. But it is far better to have the two of them competing with each other to at least pretend to be meeting their customers needs than to have one of them fail leaving us with only a single source for graphics chipsets. Would you really like to see AMD/ATI become the single video card vendor, complete with an AT&T "fuck you, we don't have to care, where else are you going to go?" attitude?
How then do you explain the fact then that my wife is my polar opposite in virtually every way (the only thing we have in common is we like to give each other a hard time.) I'm a bearded redneck in cowboy boots, and she is an African princess. Also, I tend to be much more attracted to people without penises or other features generally associated with males, such as facial hair! My wife has another trait I didn't even know existed until long after we were married -- she doesn't shave her legs because she has no body hair; the only places she can grow hair is on top of her head or on her pubes. Coming from a family that generally resembles Hobbits, this was a shock to me.
No, I'm suggesting that slaves were the same species as slaveholders. Dolphins are not. If it is human enough for you to fuck (and plenty of slave owners were doing exactly that), it is human enough to be granted the same rights as every other human.
Would that be more sex or less sex than Bonobo chimps? I don't hear any demands from scientists that we give those randy little Bonobos human-like legal status!
It's well known that dealers make most of their profits on the options, which are priced at at least 100% mark up. By the base model and install aftermarket options yourself; you'll get exactly what you want and save money. DO NOT fall victim to the salesman insistence that you drive out of their today with the car they have on the showroom floor; it's overpriced.
That suffers from the same drawback as phones that use GPS to prevent you from texting while moving at driving speeds -- the person on the phone may be the passenger, not the driver of the car.
The problem involves training yourself to rely on something that won't always be there. Most people can't even call someone using someone else's phone anymore; they have become so accustomed to just selecting a name from the contacts list that they can't remember the number. Likewise, if you become used to doing stupid things in your car and having your car bail you out, the first time it fails to bail you out (either due to electrical failure or to driving a vehicle you're not used to) you are screwed. Of course, I still demand manual transmissions in my cars, despite the fact that the new CVT automatics appear to get better gas mileage than a manual.
...the current relationship between humans and dolphins is, in effect, equivalent to the relationship between whites and black slaves two centuries ago.
Right, because everybody knows that humans and dolphins can interbreed.
I don't think we really disagree at all. Science is good at studying phenomena that occur frequently, but not good at studying things that happen infrequently, e.g. once every 100 or 1000 years, due to the difficulty of collecting reliable data. Yes, Occam's razor dictates that if a phenomena is observed which no known laws of physics can explain, then the phenomena is most likely occurring withing the mind of the observer, and not in the physical world. I was merely suggesting that studying silly things may have unexpected side benefits, even something like ghosts for which the traditional explanations are almost certainly incorrect. Of course, given limited resources, there are certainly areas to explore that would give a much better return on investment than haunted houses. It would be more interesting to ask for volunteers to study a "haunted house" when what you were really studying is how different people's perception of the same phenomena are effected by context -- e.g. tell ghost stories to half while giving scientific explanations to the other half before hand.
An engineer, and physicist, and a mathmatician are traveling on a train in Scotland. They see a black cow out the window.
The Engineer says, "Oh look, a black cow in that field yonder! All cows in Scotland are black."
The Physicist says, "Some cows in Scotland are black."
The Mathematician says, "In Scotland there exists at least one field, containing at least one cow, at least one side of which is black."
Issac Newton studied the occult. Highly intelligent people tend to be more open minded and admit the possibility of unexplainable phenomena. "Ghosts" can be studied using the scientific method. Although I don't believe the superstitions/theories about "haunting", like studying the Pons/Fleishman experiment it may lead to new science, although most likely in the field of human psychology.
Except the part about getting coal in your stocking if you have been bad may be a myth. My daughter conducted a survey of the kids at her school and could not find a single reported incident of any child receiving coal, no matter how poorly behaved they were. Of course, it's hard to prove a negative.
Obvious flaw: the rails would melt while on the day side. I suspect you'd have some serious expansion and contraction issues in the geography to deal with as well. Be much better to simply colonize asteroids -- there's a LOT more room in a ring circling the sun at close to the Earth's orbit than there is on the surface of Mercury.
Oh, give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when she is grown,
My very own clone,
We'll be of the opposite sex.
Chorus:
Clone, clone of my own,
With the Y chromosome changed to X.
And when we're alone,
Since her mind is my own,
She'll be thinking of nothing but sex.

Syd died in 2006, far too late for them to learn anything from his death. They were scared into avoiding drugs by Syd's descent into psychosis triggered by his heavy LSD use, not by his death. Gilmore was Syd's replacement.

No, it's usually just an indication that they need to go pee.

Get back to me when they develop opposable thumbs or become smart enough to stay out of tuna nets.

Next question?
For the record, I do not have a Facebook account.
You must really be popular at parties when you over-analyze every joke told...
And you may be a redneck if you look forward to the upcoming family reunion because it's a great place to meet girls.

You can always buy better headphones for your iPod; even the $30 Sony earbuds provide better sound.
