Good Lord, since when can all of the US government organizations be pooled into a simple category called "Bush". This man has nothing to do with this. It's the FAA. Bush does not work for the FAA.
"At this point, I'm reminded of that Imus guy, or whatever his name is. That white trash old conservative radio host that made all those comments about some black girls basketball team. The thing was, yes, IMHO, he was a racist old coot. Essentially, he was what happens when you give that ranting old "GET OFF MY LAWN!" type his own radio show."
All what comments? He called them "nappy headed hoes" in a joke. Don't make it seem like he had spent an entire segment on it destroying their image. Uneducated opinions single highhandedly started this mess...
The problem isnt that any of these guys were fired, that's expected when your listeners don't like you, or if you piss off the station your on. But that never happened. Advertisers were threatened and forced by special interest groups to pull their ads from CBS (Imus's show) to get CBS to fire them. It's troubling that people who don't even listen to the show have so much control over what the listeners and the fans get to hear.
After just crapping on everyone wanting Linux they are now offering exactly what? I could have sworn not more than about a day ago someone getting the short stick on their warranty because they installed Ubuntu.
Where can I get a widescreen monitor that supports 1000px wide websites from 1996?
I almost wanted to take bets that there was a Spinning Siren.gif somewhere on that site along with the little JAVA character doing cartwheels. What an ass.
I'm sure some of those 8,000 are in development, marketing, administration... Then you have to worry about in-house techs, people to manage their servers, handle the media, ect. Granted, most of the stuff listed in the labs are all side projects started by one or two employees, but it does take a lot of people to manage all those projects...
8,000 sounds like a bit much, but I don't run a billion dollar company so maybe it's the right amount...
"So, you don't walk across the street every day? Your bias is showing. "
I'll save you the trouble, I am biased
"And, you will be navigating the streets to get there. Still biased."
Actually, I don't need to leave my house today to get food seeing how I live with my mom. Also, crossing the street wasn't one of the examples I used, I omitted that because it was in the second set of examples and I was focusing on the first. Yes, I'm still biased.
"Bullshit. Unless you're talking about puffer fish or the like, bullshit. Name a few. Bias still in effect."
Mad cow. Sick chickens, pigs, turkeys, and other assorted animals also are a danger if consumed. And I'm still biased.
Your creative use of ellipsis to make me look like I'm contradicting myself was cute, but I was "not debating weather or not this sickness is rare", I was disagreeing with the likeliness of catching it in comparison to other dangers out there. A shark attack, and Lightning strikes are pretty effing rare normally. You have to actually go looking for those. It's not like a shark is gonna walk up to you in a bar and club you.
You have a better chance of dying in a swimming pool, driving a car, riding a bike, or being struck by lightening. Seriously, you are far more likely to be eaten by a shark then killed by mad cow disease. Yes, but for all of those to take place you need to get in a pool/car, ride a bike, stand outside during a storm, or swim near sharks. To get mad cow, you simply need to EAT MEAT. This, I believe, is something most people do on almost a daily basis. If you a) can afford it, b) are not a vegetarian, c) like it.
I'm not debating weather or not this sickness is rare, but I do happen to know as a fact that within the next 4 months I will not be at risk of drowning in a pool or being eaten by a shark. However, I think my mom is planning to make hamburgers for dinner tomorrow night.
To your other point about "As far as cloning goes" you said "you are not going to die eating a cloned animal". You say this, but people die eating NORMAL ANIMALS. We rarely build something better than the original, and when we do, it's after years of hit and miss testing. As far as I know no one has died from eating a cloned sheep yet, so unless this is the first time in history we did this perfect (and I will happily admit I am wrong while eating a fake cow), I think this is only the start and nothing can be said with such assurance yet.
My first car was a mini van, I had it in HS while the rest of the kids drove new sports cars, and hot rods...
Best fucking thing ever to happen to me. Went to prom in it (with several others), drove all my friends around, made some cash being a taxi/utility vehicle, it was great for camping, and I beat the thing up so much but it kept going. Awesome gas mileage too 3
That's more of a webmaster's problem than anything else. Even with standard english we come across difficulty like this.
Anyone remember pen island?

One sided? It's supposed to be.
It's a documentary about Global Warming, not 'Our Earth: Greenhouse or God's Judgment?'.
This is science, it's not been proven or dis proven yet. But there is a scientific explanation for it, much like most of the other theories out there. (Evoloution, black holes...)

It's like answering 'True' in a multiple choice test!
No one gives a flying fuck about your background, so next time just leave the post-script on the cutting room floor.

That would have been redundant. :p

Hmm...
DOS was an Operating System, Windows was a Operating Environment.
With a long enough lag and some planning, it could make it look like the bot did it all on it's own >_>... hmm
If I hit you with the server my blog is hosted on, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get up~
