To say nothing about Americans living on the verge of "crapping in the streets" because our jobs are being exported to India at an exponential rate! But, by golly, we've got three space shuttles and a useless ISS that will be destroyed in a glorious, flaming ball when it re-enters the atmosphere in a few years!
I know a site that charges $5/month for premium access to all of its 2,000+ feeds that it has each day. $5/week for access to the stories on one site seems to be a rip-off by comparison.
"Milt, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you down into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?"
Why not buy a rocket, round up Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh, put them in it, blast it off towards Mars, and have it crash land, scattering their corpses' body parts across the Martian plains, and take a picture of that. I bet I could find quite a few people that would pay good money to see that,...
These days, I get all my news from either FARK, Slashdot, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, or The Colbert Report. So, with the New York Times going to a pay site, it just means that none of the aforementioned sites that I keep an eye on will link to them anymore, so they'll eventually die off. The same thing happened with the Wall Street Journal, too -- they're not even on my radar anymore (Thanks, Rupert!)
Why not use this technology to bring back Michael Jackson? I mean, he was mostly plastic anyway, so it should be easier than for others, right? Maybe, we can reprogram him as a real black man this time, and without all the kiddie loving weirdness, too!
Peter? I've been trying to find you all week! Did you get that memo we sent out about the TPS reports? I just wanted to let you know that we're now putting the new cover sheets on all the TPS Reports before they go out, so if you could just try to remember, that would be great! Thanks, Peter!
Oh, oh, and I almost forgot! I'm going to need you to come in tomorrow, alright? Yeah, we, uh, lost a few people this week so we need to play a little bit of "catch up". So, if you could come in at about 9 am, that would be great! I'm also going to need you to come in on Sunday, as well!
I heard that the "octo-mom" wants to do a reality show. How about we sign her up, call it "octo-mum"? Once she's mummified, we wouldn't have to listen to her anymore! Plus, she's already given us a head start with all that plastic surgery to make herself look like Angelina Jolie!
It's not really important... ethanol is a dead end.
Ethanol would be a much more viable option if it wasn't for the fact that the government has us humans addicted to high-fructose corn syrup. If we could somehow redirect these ridiculous corn subsidies away from making us fatter and instead put them into giving us more fuel, it might help,... Though, there still is the fact that it's much more efficient to obtain ethanol from cane sugar instead of corn, which is why it works so well for the Brazilians,...
While car dealers and automakers might be on a "three year cycle", I'm not so sure that the average consumer/driver is on that same cycle. I think most people want to be able to purchase a car and use it for about ten years or so before thinking about buying a new one, especially in an economy like we're in now. Though, I suppose maybe the upper classes might be able to afford the "three year cycle" (think top 5-10% of automobile purchasers).
I believe Doc Brown used a toy train to test his hypothesis and timing of sending the car into the crosswire from the lightning bolt, thereby providing the 1.21 gigawatts necessary to run the flux capacitor and sending Marty McFly back to the future,...;-)
The 3D glasses that I used to watch the film were cheap plastic, nothing too fancy, but still better than the cheap cardboard 3D glasses that anyone over 30 years old remembers seeing in the 80s (or before) 3D movies. I doubt that the production of the plastic 3D glasses was over $2/pair, probably not even that much. The theatre that I watched it in (Harkins in Arizona) collected them after the movie and washed/sanitized them; though I'm sure some people probably kept there's anyway,...

I wonder how many of those 35 people are also subscribers to Optimum Online and have access for free but just don't know about it?

So, would option "d" be: "do whatever CowboyNeal wants us to do"?

Sadly, I'm still more informed than someone who gets all their news from Fox News,. . .

What's his Slashdot UID?
They couldn't use a competing product, of course, because chairs fly a lot farther in zero-G!

I was going to saw billg@microsoft.com, but then, I remembered that this was Slashdot,...

I would probably think twice about moving into any neighborhood where its residents have the movie "Gigli" in the top ten,...
So, to de-friend someone on Facebook or Twitter, all you'll have to do is to flip the bird to your cell phone or computer? Sounds like a WIN to me! ;-)

All these worlds are yours
Except Europa.
Attempt no landing there.
Use them together.
Use them in peace.
When's the supernova? =)
Which is why you're, "a big 'pussy'. Which is also probably why you're still working at Initech to begin with." ;-)
That sounds sort of like the plot of a Dilbert cartoon,. . .

Can we keep ICANN's grubby little hands off of this "new internet", too?
