I thought King Roland of Planet Druidia had the monopoly on air so he could sell us all bottled Perri-Air? It's not like he did much to protect it, though,... I mean, with a password of 1... 2... 3... 4... 5,... what do you expect? Seriously, I have the same combination on my luggage!
I use Gmail and barely see any spam myself. The spam filter is top notch (although occasionally it catches a few legitimate messages, too). I wish spammers would realize that 99.999997% of the messages they send aren't even seen by anyone,... but sadly, based on the law of averages, it's that 0.000003% of messages that are seen and responded to that make it worthwhile for them to send their crap.
Or better yet, a thought control cell phone! So instead of texting your friends while driving, you could just connect directly to their thoughts! Although that could get a little scary!
I'd want a mind control link for driving one of their cars! That way, we could keep our hands free for doing other tasks while driving, like talking on the cell phone, eating, or shaving!
Where did you hear that? The Flight Sim website doesn't seem to say anything about it being discontinued. On the other hand, I wish somebody would kill Vista,...;-)
If you're talking about wasting bandwidth, then I'd say most of these sites are wasting bandwidth over pointless discussions by tween girls over who's f*cking who, or by sophomoric guys debating who's penis is bigger. The length of the URL in these discussions seems rather minor, IMHO,...
I'd like to propose a new term for all these "crackpot" science projects going on that don't make any sense at all. We need to collectively refer to them all as Sy Fy. After all, in a realistic definition of the word, some people are calling it "science", but it's really "fiction", just not very good fiction, so we have to really call it, "scyence fyction",...;-)
Along with cold fusion, we can throw intelligent design in there as well,...;-)
Plus, look at the bright side: If enough Slashdotters catch on to this, it'll dilute the term "Sy Fy" enough and ruin the trademark that the network is seeking,...;-)
Suddenly, compared to a MS degree in Creationism, renaming the Sci-Fi channel to Sy Fy sounds like a good idea! Both of these announcements were just a few days too early, though,...
Last fall, I attended a Faraday Lecture. This is a lecture consisting of really cool science demonstrations and things that teachers can use in their classrooms to really blow students away -- think of things that blow up and other nifty demos. This was done in Pittsburgh, but a quick google search on the topic indicates that perhaps Rutgers does this as well.
Get off my... uh green thing, with the, um little plants? What's it called?
Sorry, you don't have a lawn. Contrary to popular opinion, plants don't crave the electrolytes that Brawndo has. Start watering your damn lawn with water like all the other old farts.
What they didn't announce is their plans for a brand new series that's sure to be a hit with the Slashdot crowd . . . OMG! PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!1 Starring CowboyNeal in his television debut!
Maybe the best thing is to just ditch this whole television model entirely. Have a couple of rich geeks create a new website similar to Hulu except dedicated to original, real, science fiction. No ECW. No campy shiat. Really good, well-produced shows like Stargate SG-1, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, etc. Isn't Paul Allen kind of a geek like us? Maybe we can convince him to invest in something like this?
If you read this NY Times article, they make a reference to the BSG prequel, calling it "Capricia". I really, really hope that's a mere typo by some uninformed editor who got the correct name wrong -- "Caprica" -- rather than a name change. Did Sci-Fi hire the Fab 5 for a makeover, or what?
A new series set on a new planet with Janeway and 7of9 in Orion Slave Girl costumes. Throw in Deanna Troi, as well as Kirk and Picard with their shirts off to catch the women viewers. I'd pay to watch that! =)

But thanks to the magic of Adobe Photoshop, which was pirated from the Iranians, North Korea is claiming success!
EXCEPT EUROPA.
Attempt no landings there.
Use them together.
Use them in peace.
There, fixed it for ya!
Well, I did say "occasionally". I'm not entirely sure what definition of "occasionally" you're using?

It does make a certain amount of sense, actually. After all, space toilets have been known to kill people.

Umm, that could be a little bit difficult,... you do know that there's no gravity up there, so the picture will just float off the wall,...
And the Republicans want to eliminate money for volcano monitoring?!?! Great idea!

The real question is, how many people can identify what plants crave? And how many people know what electrolytes are?
Here's an exclusive photo of the test facility!

I'll believe this one when chairs fly out of my butt!
