Many have two jobs, but can't really makes end meets. They work hard, but they will never strike it rich
Heh. I work one job in a factory. I make below the average national hourly wage. I am very much "working class". When I retire, my 401k (among other diverse investments) will be worth nearly 2 million USD. "striking" it rich isn't what it's all about. With a life of hard work and dedication to saving money aside I will retire a millionare. This is the "American Dream" and I've never been happier to live in a country where wages like this are possible for ANYONE that is willing to come to work 40 hours a week.

Hardly big news.
Hrm. Perhaps you don't understand.
"and I'm sure ours is nowhere close to that." refering to US literacy rates, to which I replied, "Literacy rate over the age 15 is 100%" with a link pointed rather obviously at world_economy/usa refering to the US literacy rate.
You claimed that the US literacy rate was less than that of russia. I called you a retard. Troll perhaps, but at least my facts are straight.
The land on the moon was unclaimed. He claimed it. I applaud his brilliant thinking. International law allows people to lay claim to any unclaimed, unocupied land. Congrats to his quick thinking.

From what I understand, which isn't much...
While attempting to emulate the universe using small scale quantum theory, M-Theory, or any string theory would be next to impossible due to the fact these equations just don't work on such a large scale.
However, using special relativity I believe, and all the equations we have regarding larger scale spacial stuff, the law of large numbers causes everything to average into a realistic model.
While you can't guarantee 100% accuracy I'm pretty certain that it'd come damn close.

Seriously though, I doubt something like this is little more than a fad. The only way for it to make it would be through massive amounts of advertising.

Any water vehicle which can cross an ocean is a ship and not a boat. Last I knew, subs could cross the ocean.

Would you really want to watch porn created by people who aren't paid for it? Personally, naked bodies of overweight geeks do nothing for me sexually.
