I'm a big weather fan (storms and tornadoes and such), but I gave up on looking for interesting footage on YouTube because NO ONE IN THIS WORLD CAN HOLD A FRACKING CAMERA STILL FOR MORE THAN 1/10 OF A SECOND!
There was one with a gorgeous storm on the horizon in the evening, and it was filled with almost constant lightning discharges, but the total hick tool manning the camera kept wobbling it and zooming in and out and in and out over and over again... The auto focus couldn't keep up with the constant zooming. A chance to record a really beautiful example of nature, and the cretin has to keep panning to shots of his lawn and garage for some reason.
I get the point of it, but still... why even bother with a system to give, say, Element 118 the temporary name of "Ununoctium"? What's wrong with just "Element 118" or just "118"?
"You're going to have to pay us, or this won't go away," The legal profession is basically organized crime. If you don't see that you're not paying attention.
The sooner some lawyers get dragged from their offices for a public round of punches to the balls, the better.
Wouldn't there need to be space sports *now* before we start talking about the future of space sports? No? Never mind.
QD's requirements for entertaining space sports:
[1] Rotating playfield (for Coriolis effects) [2] Weapons [3] Sexy female players in tight cat suits [4] Sexy female referees in BDSM gear (with whips and paddles for meting out penalties) [5] Full contact rules [6] The ball? A human head!
The neo-conservatives have always--like their twins, the radical Islamists I think we need a new version of Godwin's law covering comparisons to radical Islamists. How about Mohammad's Law?
As much as I dislike PETA and their methods, this is finally a proactive step. Identify the problem (in their minds, at least), and offer payment for a constructive solution.
Strikes me as a bit pointless. Guess I'm getting old. Paintball? Yeah, I'm going to go jump on the paintball course with the compressed air tank cannon roaming around. Uh huh.
Now if he had built it out of Lego, THEN it would have been awesome. Still pointless, but awesome, especially if it drove itself using a Mindstorm module.
Ah, but the LHC has the hard to find Higgs Bosons. You can't get those anywhere else at *any* price, although I think Fermilab sells a decent knockoff.
The CEO of CoreBrand said: 'When you see something decline with increasing velocity, it's a concern.' Wow. Thanks for that flash of nuclear-bright insight, Mr. Hawking.
Hell, I *don't* touch type, and still want tactile feedback. And with touch screens I tend to not want to stricke it with and force, so I'd be all careful with it and getting about 1 WPM.

That's way too close to my theory that the Earth has a tasty nougat center! That's intellectual property, that is!
Did Alfred E. Neuman give the press conference?
Oh, wait...
The mouse and GUI were invented at the Standford Research Institute. Google the name "Doug Englebart".
At first I thought you wrote "Whatever he's smoking, he needs to SHAVE."
Then I was going to say something about how he's smoking all the hairs he shaved.
And hilarity would have ensued.

Hmmm... it says "Face in opposite direction and run away as fast as you can."
Huh. I seem to run across that one a lot these days.
Wasn't Iridium at some point going to launch 12 or 16 at a time before that whole mess fell through?
What ever happened to all those plans for "Internet in the sky" with constellations of hundreds of satellites? Pie in the sky? Guess so.
Unbibium? Bleah. The systematic element naming system is just totally soulless.

The average IQ is *defined* as 100.

Maybe he meant "sanctimonious."
I read the summary twice and still had no idea what he was talking about.
*shrug* There's plenty of sad relics in this world. So what?
It's a code for marijuana used by people who think it's still cool or relevant.
The other main use is in Craigslist prostitute ads to let potential Johns know that they are "420 friendly".

I read the summary twice and still have no idea what the fuck the submitter is talking about. Clouds? What?
Shouldn't they be hiring Professor X?
