Human resource usage expands to consume all available resource...
That is the history of humanity in one sentence. In fact, it can be generalized to all life.
Agree with your first statement. The difference, however, between humanity and other forms of life is that humans increase available resources in order to be able to expand usage.
This book is compromise. It concedes that the existing oppressive legal structure is acceptable and should be worked within.
No, it concedes that alcohol prohibition exists, and is a reality that must be dealt with.
You can keep on living in an imaginary world where alcohol is legal (as in beer, as in speech, as in love), but the rest of us have to live in a world where alcohol prohibition exists and has the legal system behind it. Unlike yourself, an understandable guide to that system (like this book) is a useful tool.
I'm all for idealistic notions, but those of us who need to earn our bread in the real world have pressing concerns that makes such idealism impractical.
Clearly we should teach every fantasy that's ever popped into anyones head - only that way can we ensure that nobodies feelings are hurt, and that all ideas get a fair hearing!
No, clearly schools should teach what the parents want their children to be taught. Like-minded parents should be able to set up their own schools without being burdened by paying for the education of others. That way, there is more choice for everyone. Let the best education win.
Actually, the ideal while camping is to have no electronics at all apart from a cellphone for emergencies only. IMHO, that is.
You also need a blender.
For the margaritas, of course.
Then it doesn't matter if you did bring anything else, because after enough margaritas you won't remember about the other gadgets.
...in a unit "about the size of an office trash can". Assuming Uranium-235 and spherical configuration has a diameter of 17cm. That would be for uncontrolled fission. Now add neutron reflectors and damping mechanisms... That's one big office trash can.
1. Guy/girl becomes an alcoholic, dodges the draft, gets arrested for DOI, and otherwise acts like a complete no-hoper for the first 30 years of his life.
2. Gets covered by local news (at that time).
3. Google digitises that news.
4. Now President of the United States (then guy/girl) gets elected for a second term.

Are you the kind of person who says "I feel badly?" Go ahead. Admit it. You are.
Nyet, vsio otlichno.
"People would have been happier if everyone loved the ads, but this was not unexpected."
Yeah, that sentence pegged my portable Ekman Spin-o-Meter.
Palin's account got hacked into most likely because she had a weak, easily guessable password; these other guys don't necessarily.
Yes, I'm betting she used a palindrome. Probably "madamimadam".
Specifically for a Boeing 777-300ER:
Gallons/Mile: 6.077 Gallons/Passenger Mile: .01665
MPG per passenger: 60.06

Is there a 777 flight from East Bay to San Jose?
Embrace and extend my friend. First Cray now OLPC. Think about it.
And you can even transport data over the internet without being checked. Funny.
Cough... Room 641A... cough...

They should have paid Olympus for Supersonic Wave Filter (SWF) technology.
More like Bin Laden being the mascot and the PR director.
Osama=Tux, then.

From all that I read, it looks like al-quaeda is more of a stand-alone complex than a hierarchically organized group.
So, open source with Osama in charge of the kernel?

Actually, the proper alcoholic accoutrement for a tent is a still (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M*A*S*H).

I was saying that homeopathic medicine of the sort that doesn't actually have medicinal effects is a superstition.
Homeopathy may indeed be a superstition, but "mainstream" pharmacy (statins!) is just an outright con.
I thought tomorrow was when they turned it on. I thought the end of the world was to happen when the first collision is made right?

I can see no mention of this service on Amazon.co.uk. and the .com site blocks access outside of the 48 contiguous states.
Really? Why would Amazon.com block access to Alaska and Hawaii?
Secession risk.
The word is "gypped." It's a racist slur meant to evoke images of conniving gypsies tricking you out of your treasure.
In light of TFA, I'd rather be "japped" racial slur or not.
honey.bunny77@hotmail.se on the other hand...
hey, it's just one key over.
"Knob Gobbling" has a COMPLETELY different meaning in New Zealand, people!
Karl Pilkington: "Tell me about it."
They agree that you can't assess extraversion from the email address.
Unless it's George Lucas' e-mail.
Now do me. My email address is: useless.research.nominations _at_ elmuerte.com
"elmuerte"? You failed Spanish?
How about "irregularly ordered aperiodic crystals"?
Why is there no mention of Penrose tiling in TFA?
