84.5% of Nevada and 69.1% of Alaska are "owned" by the Federal Government. They damn well better be getting more money from the Feds than they are paying out.
Alaska? Nevada? Montana? Generally, as population density increases, more laws are deemed necessary. New York and California have been trying to support a nanny state through taxation, and are now discovering that it is not sustainable -- tax base moves out, while those that profit from government largess remain.
As if anybody really understands this stuff. Get back to me when you have a Grand Unified Theory that isn't as full of holes as a brick of Swiss cheese.
As far as I can tell, the Opera Browser on the Nintendo DS doesn't support Flash. Of course, it doesn't have enough memory to actually run a decent Flash app it if did support Flash anyway.
The government should enforce truth in labeling, not regulate contents. As long as the food carries a warning label reading "Warning: May contain lead, which has been shown to be hazardous to your health" then I don't have a problem with food companies using it in food... although I strongly suspect economic considerations would stop them from doing so.
Instead of asking for donations of money, how 'bout asking for donations of games? Real avid gamers buy the game the day it comes out, and are bored with it in 2 to 4 weeks.
How hard can it be to program a computerized timekeeping and payroll system. In their defense, they had to completely recode everything when they moved the start/stop date for daylight saving time...
I guarantee you'll get laid. You do realize you are speaking to slashdot readers, don't you?
I'm skeptical of the bubbles for the same reason many others have cited -- by cutting of sunlight to the ocean, you are depriving sea life of the base of it's foodchain, the plankton. Much better to simply paint all man made horizontal surfaces with silver paint (and keep them clean). Sure, it's bad on your eyes when you are driving, but it reverses the warming effect seen in urban areas.
You've got to admit that whoever decided to have a Climate Change Conference in Denmark in the middle of December obviously wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed! How did they expect to accomplish anything in respect to curbing global warming when everyone was too busy complaining that it's too fucking cold outside!
Different analogy: In the US, kids today are not allowed to even taste alcohol until they move out of their parents homes and into college dorms, upon which time most immediately start engaging in binge drinking because they have never learned what their limits are with respect to alcohol. Societies wherein children regularly imbibe wine with their parents during meals have far fewer problems with alcoholism. Want to really education your child? Take him/her out and get them totally puking drunk just once, then videotape them (and don't go easy on them). Show them the video as soon as they sober up. They'll learn how stupid they look after drinking, and they'll probably never touch whatever they got puking drunk on again (our instincts are to stay away from anything that makes us throw up).
With regards to the internet, they will inevitably see inappropriate content at some point; they need to learn how to deal with it without making a big deal out of it. While I could happily have lived my life without ever having seen Goatse guy or tubgirl, at some point students will be turned loose onto the internet with only their self-discipline for control. Better they learn how to control themselves then try to keep them locked in a tower; eventually, they are going to get out.
Sea levels can't just rise in one place.Yes they can. It's the tidal effect caused by 1 billion Indians putting on a lot of weight lately...
Venice is also submerging, due mainly to subsidence, but aggravated by rising sea level and more powerful storms. I suspect it is a combination of factors in the Bay of Bengal as well.
So in your opinion, if a chimpanzee has nice tits, wears makeup, can talk, and tells you it likes all the same bands you do, you don't have any problem with fucking it? IT'S STILL A FUCKING MONKEY! On the other hand, if it is really just an actor in a furry costume, yeah, go ahead, knock yourself out.
That's analogous to suggesting that getting rid of all the drug-sniffing dogs will cut down on drug smuggling.
What kind of world do you live in where the argument "If I don't know about it, then it must not exist!" is considered logical?
Even if you do accept the premise that all the planets were originally seeded by the same progenitors, over millions of years they would have evolved into separate species. Genetically, humans would be much more closely related to Bonobo Chimps than they could possibly be to any alien species. And yet, few people would have found it appropriate for Kirk to be fucking monkeys. It's not a question of sentience. As Howard the Duck said, "Sorry kid, but I don't date outside my species!"

visits from a girlfriend won't be allowed during the project I take it, then, that all the volunteers are gay?

Does your life insurance list your gf as beneficiary? Perhaps she's not being as nice as you think she is...

Hey, if you were smart enough to make decisions for yourself, you wouldn't be living in New York!

If you look closely, you can see that 2 of the rovers have been put up on blocks and had their tires stripped...
I far prefer Brother Iz to Don Ho.

Hey, I'm doing MY part... I'm sitting in the hot tub and passing gas as we speak!
"I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
In the sea (in the sea)
Make me happy (make me happy)
Make me feel free (make me feel free)
Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
Make me warm all over
With a feeling that I'm gonna
Love you till the end of time
So here's to the golden moon
And here's to the silver sea
And mostly here's a toast
To you and me
So here's to the ginger lei
I give to you today
And here's a kiss
That will not fade away
Poor guy, Don Ho... I haven't the heart to tell him, but all the women in his family are Hos!

This IS news for nerds... at my workplace, we're strongly considering using this technology on nerds that "forget" to shower!
I know what you mean... I tried to go to whitehouse.com to do research on the president's family, but for some reason it was blocked! ;-)

You're obviously surfing the net instead of working right now! Pot, kettle, stop calling each other "black"!

There, I fixed the headline for you.
