He can go without moving or needed sustenance for months at a time. But when they pull him out, he can eat almost an entire herd of baby seals to restore his winter coat.
And this is why I love coming here. Do you realize how tiny a percentage of the world's population would get that joke? If/. were a country, I would be packing my bags and filling out my immigration papers to get there right now.
You ever tried to water your plants with a several parts dirt to every part granular ice? Now add in no carbon dioxide, weak sunlight, sterile rusty-sandy soil, and 1/150 the atmospheric pressure of earth.
You're gonna need some serious green thumb mojo for that one.
Antarctica is WAY more hospitable to human life than Mars. At least there you have normal pressure, oxygen, water, decent shielding from cosmic radiation, etc. Mars thin little atmosphere and higher gravity is about the only thing that separates it from the moon. And, without oxygen, that atmosphere is likely to be at least as big as hassle as a help.
My university's new "Cannabis Horticulture" degree has quadrupled university enrollment. Who would have thought that offering a degree in something that every teenager enjoys would drastically increase enrollment?
Not to worry though, George Mason. Within about a year they'll come to the harsh realization that *designing* videogames is a helluva lot different than *playing* videogames. Shortly after your first C++ midterm, your numbers should stabilize a bit.
On a related note, am I the only one who went into a programming degree realizing that C++ and Java programming are nothing like playing Halo 3? I mean come on, not even on Legendary.
No, I like money too. But I would also quietly sit back and laugh at all the fools who actually bought into (and even defended) my bullshit. That's the same reason I would get a sadistic kick out of being a politician, if I only had the psychological make-up for to be a politician or CEO (i.e., if I were a sociopath). I get a campaign donation from some big oil company; I pass a law making it okay for said company to drill in the middle of Central Park by saying it will help economic development in NYC, state's rights, blah, blah, blah; then I watch a bunch of lemmings who actually believed that shit run around defending me; finishing up the day by previewing my new speech about Family Values to my favorite hooker. Must feel great to be able to do that without feeling guilt.
Because if Flash were enabled and I wanted to develop an app for the iPhone; I could just do it in Flash and not have to join their developer's club, buy a Mac, or kiss their ass for approval.
Did you believe George W. Bush when he told you that invading Iraq was about weapons of mass destruction too? I'm just asking that because I'm curious as to whether you only buy bullshit from liberals or whether you just fall for politicians' bullshit in general.
In the 60's, the best minds used to actually *want* to work at NASA. But since the end of Apollo, it's basically become known more and more as a great place to go if you want low pay and a dead-end job. The great minds no longer want to work there. So all they get is mediocre bureaucrats looking for job security.
Many (if not almost all) of those class action suits are secretly supported by the company being sued itself. For a payout to some lawyers and a bunch of worthless coupons, they get blanket legal immunity from any further individual lawsuits.
Of course you're going to get a bunch of corporate doublespeak out of Jobs, attempting to disguise base corporate greed under some sort of philosophical cover. But we all know that Flash apps would cut into Apple's bottom line, and it all comes down to that.
Steve doesn't like competition. Steve does like money. And Steve calls the shots.
The modern BSA has nothing to do with the old Boy Scouts from back in the day. The modern BSA is basically a front for the Mormons and their values/beliefs (I'm not joking here, or a nutball conspiracy theorist, it's true) and has been for some time now (since at least the 80's I believe). That's why they're so adamant about all the anti-gay and religious stuff (yet still happy to take government money if they can get it).
Little known fact, the Boy Scouts of American (BSA) today is pretty much controlled completely by the Mormons. That's not some tin-foil hat conspiracy nonsense, it's well-known in BSA circles. So you are surprised that they would adopt the conservative values of the LDS on videogames too?

Funny, I count 0 to F.
No, not after 2005.

I caught Cortana cheating on me with the Master Control Program and kicked the bitch to the curve.
You must reside on Anonymous Coward island off the coast. You're close enough for us to hear you, but not close enough for us to accept you fully.

Yeah, but they're the biggest assholes in the mammal class.

I had a friend who used to work at EA who said he would rather walk the Bataan Death March than to go back. I'm pretty sure he wasn't joking.

HTML 5 is a joke, javascript is very limited. Saying you can develop an app in those comparable to what you can do in flash is laughable.
...not to mention the cost of a Mac.

Actually, it looked to me like the miscalculation involved the strength of the crane cable.
That's not American, that's Tweet.
