No, no, you've got it all wrong--it's a flying car. A flying fuck is an entirely different thing and, as anyone who's ever banged a flight attendant can attest, probably almost as much fun. Easier to find and no hangar fees to pay, either.
What makes you think we haven't had them here? Maybe not as often as the hell-hole of a place that you apparently live in but we do get thunderstorms and all the related weather phenomena up to and including tornadoes. And then there are the Santa Ana winds, which can reach 100 mph as well. I was in a building when it's roof was torn off by them, in fact, so I'd suggest you reconsider who you're calling "bitches."
And, by the way, even if we didn't get strong winds here that doesn't change the fact that you folks are still wimps when it comes to earthquakes.
It's been awhile since I got my Canadian Ham license, but I seem to remember learning that it was illegal to rebroadcast, (or talk about, publish, whatever) anything that you heard on the airwaves. I.e. cop, fire, air control, taxi, etc chatter.
Same in the U.S., but it's not specific to having a ham license, it applies to anyone with a scanner or other equipment capable of receiving public service transmissions.
The key to driving in the rain in SoCal is to drive as fast possible through it; therefore you spend less time on the road and minimize your exposure to the dangers of rain.
So, I mean, you can call us a bunch of wimps when we get Earthquakes maybe once every 20 years, when we have to deal with crap you don't every damn year.
Hey, I just said you were wimpy about earthquakes. I'd be the first to admit that west coast types are wimpy about weather. Having lived all over the U.S., I laugh when Californians complain about "bad weather," which usually means "below 60 F" or "not sunny."
Snow day? Ha, here in SoCal just a rainy day is a major upset in our routines. Odd how you get used to some things.
Earthquakes = No problem.
Drizzle = OMG WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!!!
LOL, yeah, that's true! Major mayhem on the highway whenever it rains down here but that's not due to panic, it's due to it being way too easy to get a drivers license in this state.
We had a 6 something earthquake a couple of months ago here in LA.
Yeah, the one centered south of Mexicali on Easter Sunday. That was a 7-something, really shook us good down here in San Diego. Now that one made the front page.
What would happen in California if several feet of snow ended up on the streets overnight?
Traffic would be a mess, people wouldn't go to work and everybody would have a good time. It would also melt in a matter of hours since the average January temp here is in the 50s.
Do you see any tectonic plates meeting in the middle of North America?
Nope, but that has nothing to do with you easterners being a bunch of wimps when it comes to earthquakes. You were even too wimpy to post with your nick--QED. For that matter, it doesn't even have all that much to do with earthquakes. The most powerful earthquake in US history happened on the New Madrid fault, which is a thousand miles or more from the nearest tectonic plate boundary.
On the 5th floor of the Key Bank building. EVERYBODY PANIC!!!
What a bunch of wimps.
Here in southern California, a mere 5.5 would hardly even arouse anyone's interest. Probably make page 1 of the local section unless the Padres made a big trade; then it would be relegated to page 2.
I've had a smart phone for years, work in IT and have never ever needed to use copy and paste! I don't know why people worry about it so much
Pretty much the same thing here; in the entire time since Apple added copy/paste to the iPhone OS, I think I've used it maybe a dozen times tops. It's nice, but not essential.
I don't understand why such a simple, useful feature could be missed by both companies..
Microsoft didn't "miss" anything. Being unable to innovate in any respect on it's own, it is trying to copy the the iPhone model as closely as it can--including leaving out copy-and-paste on it's first generation OS.
No! You got it wrong Dummy! SATAN put them there to turn peopel away from God and the Bibble.
I actually had someone say that to me in all seriousness. Totally unexpected and coming as it did from an otherwise pretty smart guy, it left me speechless.
And he threw a fit when he discovered the need to right-click.
Not that one again. At the risk of being repetitious: Macs have supported a three-button mouse for at least the last ten years and have shipped with them for at least five. Even before that, there was generally an alternative involving pressing one of the meta keys when making a mouse click.
Am I the only one whose skepticism level is instantly raised when a politically lobbying organization includes the word "Mom" or "Mothers" in it's name?
I think it's more likely that Slashdot posters want Zuckerburg executed too, only for different reasons. My personal feeling it death is too good for the guy who founded Facebook and caused me to waste so much of my time.
Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot headline would have been:
"Evil Apple Hides Secret Rootkit Installer on All iPhones"
Any moment now, people will start saying that Google is the New Apple, which is the New Microsoft, which is the New...what? Commodore?
...a flying fuck.

"What is the sound of one bit flipping?"
Or
"If a disk crashes in a server farm and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?"

That joke is so old it's even been on Futurama
I honestly wasn't aware of that but in retrospect, it does seem pretty obvious.
Diametrically opposite to the face on mars.
Perhaps we will be seeing National Enquirer headlines about "The Giant Martian Anus" soon?

Okay, thanks, important safety tip. ;-)

Find new markets to penetrate?
Come up with a innovative product? Nah, couldn't happen...
Yahoo's Newsroom is reporting that the judge who overturned the drilling moratorium holds stock in drilling companies.
No conflict of interest here, no sir...
I can't believe no one has asked this yet.
Or "imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things" either.

All other things aside, can you imagine how bad hundreds to thousands of rotting dinosaur corpses must have smelled?

How about this?"
BTW, I just did a Google search for "mothers against -madd". The amount of hit was surprising.
