Lady in street: You greedy asshole? How dare you ask me for money?! Music should be done for the love of it!!! Performing for my pleasure while I eat should BE your food!!!! Now sing and stop begging!!!! If you want money go and get a real job!
Looks like there's stuff up there from the USSR, USA, Japan, China, India and the European Space Agency (18 nations combined.)
My god, what a mess. Nearly 179 metric tonnes of garbage!
Okay, next one up there should agree to fly up with a front-end loader and open the First International Lunar Landfill, and then bury all that junk. Plus, put up a sign: "NO LITTERING - Fine: 1 Million Space Bucks!"
And curiously, a radio ad I hear a lot lately is starts off about the super-high-tech drains that can't clog.
Can't clog? You mean even if I'm throwing a bucket load of superglue down the drain?
Sure, just pour an equal volume of acetone down the drain. You can get acetone by the gallon at the hardware store. If you have plastic pipes, put your bucket under the sink first, in order to catch your acetone for future reuse.
However right now, the left is afraid of nuclear, and the right doesn't want to control it.
I'm "the left*," and I'm not afraid of nuclear; I support nuclear energy because I care about the environment and acknowledge society's need for a continually-increasing supply of (low-emission, base-load) energy. I know there are others on the left (here on Slashdot) that agree.
* The actual left, not Obama's conservative "left."
"Peer inside an antique radio and you'll find what look like small light bulbs. They're actually vacuum tubes — the predecessors of the silicon transistor.
Thanks for talking to us like we're a bunch of fucking Luddite ignoramuses. I guess we are, compared to you, since you have a "science habit," and we're just a pack of morons, amirite?
Vacuum tubes went the way of the dinosaurs in the 1960s [...]
Wrong. If you're going to be act like a goddamn know-it-all, at least get your facts straight.
What I find a shame are those welfare scum who take money away from projects such as these because they refuse to work.
You really think the blue "giver" states should kick the red state money-pits to the curb? Or, were you talking about corporate welfare, particularly for industries with broken/outdated business models?
Pot is not illegal because its a drug... Our nation is drowning in drugs. Its because the Pharmaceutical business can't monopolize it and make a hundred billion dollars. No chance cheap effective solutions like l-tryptophan for insomnia, or pot for nausea are going to be made available when they can sell you expensive drugs with terrible side effects that require more terrible drugs to cure the side effects with even more terrible side effects, etc., etc., etc.
I don't think Big Pharma is entirely to blame. I also blame the DEA's unilateral ability to issue (usually arbitrary and inconsistent) drug scheduling edicts, the lobbies for the prison-industrial complex, and those in government who act on their behalf.
Time Warner actually does own an ISP, I'm a little surprised they haven't been more proactive in filtering media they own.
It's possible that Time Warner prefers to collect Internet service fees from file-sharers, as opposed to devaluing their Internet service (and risk pushing customers to competing services (in applicable locales)) based on the dubious hypothesis that reducing access for file-sharers will result in increased sales of shared media.
So, while the USA and Russia might be able to ruin each other, and France and the UK can each pick out a country at random to nuke if they desire, the majority of the world will read about it in the paper the next day.
Or read it real time on Twitter....
A localized nuclear exchange of sufficient yield would most likely have a severe impact on the remaining global population.
Nuclear bombs dropped on cities and industrial areas in a fight between India and Pakistan would start firestorms that would put massive amounts of smoke into the upper atmosphere.
The particles would remain there for years, blocking the sun, making the earth’s surface cold, dark and dry. Agricultural collapse and mass starvation could follow. Hence, global cooling could result from a regional war, not just a conflict between the U.S. and Russia.
Cooling scenarios are based on computer models. But observations of volcanic eruptions, forest fire smoke and other phenomena provide confidence that the models are correct.
Three additional papers on these implications, examining the range from nuclear terrorism to global nuclear war are available here: http://www.envsci.rutgers.edu/~gera/
And the reverse is also true, so If you had a point, I totally missed it.
Other than neither of you citing sources, there's no reason to believe that the reverse isn't true; I think it's safe to assume that that was implied. I think ozduo's point was to suggest that correlated eye/hand-dominance may have had substantial evolutionary influence on handedness itself.
Back in my day, "employees" were a subset of "people;" not a distinct group of non-persons:
Apple's director of real estate facilities, Dan Wisenhunt, stated that: 'We like to provide a level of security so that people and employees can feel comfortable talking [...]"

"Nothing more," eh? I think anyone with a functioning axial-flow/centrifugally-pumped artificial heart might disagree.

As François Truffaut said, "there is no such thing as an anti-war movie because it will invariably look exciting up on screen."
Check out BBC's Threads (1984).

Much more likely he was going to point the proton stream at Sarkozy.
Interesting account of a human intercepting a proton-accelerator beam with his head.
Something like the Nokia 9210 Communicator?
But then there is such a thing as a tripleA battery ...
There are also AAAA batteries. Standard 9-volt (nominal) batteries contain six AAAA batteries in series.
Didn't take long before some jerk on this site started bashing America.
He's not "bashing America," you fucking idiot. He's pointing out an instance of the US government bashing America.
If Warner Brothers had an ISP as well
If? All major [ISPs] ( at least in the US ) are directly tied to content providers.
Verizon [operator of FiOS]?

A localized nuclear exchange of sufficient yield would most likely have a severe impact on the remaining global population.
Scientific American published a (currently pay-walled) article on 2009-12-30 entitled "South Asian Threat? Local Nuclear War = Global Suffering." Quoting the summary:
Nuclear bombs dropped on cities and industrial areas in a fight between India and Pakistan would start firestorms that would put massive amounts of smoke into the upper atmosphere.
The particles would remain there for years, blocking the sun, making the earth’s surface cold, dark and dry. Agricultural collapse and mass starvation could follow. Hence, global cooling could result from a regional war, not just a conflict between the U.S. and Russia.
Cooling scenarios are based on computer models. But observations of volcanic eruptions, forest fire smoke and other phenomena provide confidence that the models are correct.
The article is based on a 2007 Rutgers study by the same authors: "Nuclear Winter revisited with a modern climate model and current nuclear arsenals: Still catastrophic consequences."
Three additional papers on these implications, examining the range from nuclear terrorism to global nuclear war are available here: http://www.envsci.rutgers.edu/~gera/

I still cannot [...] beat an egg though.
Try rotating the eggbeater 180 degrees about its vertical axis.
Good thing you can unlike things as well, otherwise we'd all be screwed...
I doubleplus unlike this use of the word "unlike;" sounds like Newspeak to me.
PROTIP: Disc = optical; disk = magnetic.
Somebody needs to find that monkey paw. No doubt some shyster's put a pox on Delta for their dastardly short-sell scheme.
If you consider not being born as being dead, then yes.

Taking an objective viewpoint, I don't think....
This is probably the dumbest thing I've said all day. I sure hope so.
At least by recognizing it as such, I think you've compensated for most of the havoc you've caused with your reckless mistake.
