If windows were easy to use it would be easy to use securely.
Well, that's relative. Windows is relatively easy to use securely as far as I'm concerned, but I'm a relatively advanced user. Now, this also depends on what you mean by "securely," as this is also relative and dependant on what a given machine will be used for and where it is located. When it comes to machines I use at home, I have a relatively low standard of what I consider to be secure. I think this is fine to do so long as one keeps in mind the various standards that different environments and uses require.
Or maybe we can just the [sic] the &%$#* international space station finished, ferchrissake...
Sure, let's just toss all our money down the toilet without doing anything constructive. Then, after we're done doing that, let's sit around and lament about how we haven't done anything constructive. Then, maybe we can all go out for coffee and forget about all that goofy outerspace stuff. Earth is, like, so much better anyway.
Seriously though, the ISS was planned according to diplomatic phenomenon, not according to scientific phenomenon. This will forever be its flaw, as well as the primary reason behind why so much money will continue to be dumped into it. Now, if there were an international endeavor to build a station at one of the Lagrange points, that has much more long-term potential in terms of usefulness in future exploration and discovery efforts.
No, that's how many people care about whether Brad & Jen will get back together. Compared to that, this is just a blip on the radar. Not that I in any way understand such phenomenon.
No, according to Slashdot reasoning, their server is polar soured (i.e. as fucked as you would be if you were up in the arctic with nothing but whiskey for food).
My relatives have a african grey parrot and they are in fact really smart. They even seem to answer your questions (and complete sentences or phrases). Only thing is that they bite real hard so you might want to keep a distance while talking/playing with them.
Sorry, but your doomsday scenario is full of shit.
To elaborate:
People want my money. I want to give people my money for their shit. People are willing to give me their shit for my money. I get the shit from the people and the people get my money. The government can go fuck itself. Everybody's happy.
I imagine smaller earth-like planets will be discovered before 2015. The chances are good that several have already been detected, but astronomers are waiting to confirm them by observing the gravitational wobble through more than one orbit.
Well, sadly you most likely won't be around when your grandkids are starving and cursing your stupidity and unwillingness to acknowledge the imminence of a global ecological catastrophe.
The good news is that you can wake up to reality right now and maybe do a little good in the world.
At a time when Russia is just becoming a functioning democracy
If by "functioning" you mean carrying out government-ordered assasinations on citizens and throwing people in jail because the president doesn't like them, then I'd say you're spot on.
Personally, I think that's a very bad idea. It would be much better if you were to give Jar Jar all of your money. This way, he can keep it safe.
After that, perhaps you could send some comely lady gungans his way to massage him.
I think this would be a very good idea.
Hah, I'm already into my fourth life, as a cool person. Because... I'm cool. And... yeah. And why do I need that second life thing anyway? I have plenty of friends right here, in my mind.

hundreds of thousands of people?

Hell on Earth. (Welcome to Texas)
I thought that was Missouri (Misery), or maybe I'm confusing it with Detroit?

Yeah, my relatives are the same way.
So, prove to everyone that your sentience is based on more than just a bunch of automated and learned responses to stimuli.
READY, SET, GO!

Is that clear?
California has huge problems
Well, at least we have Schwarzenegger for the president here unlike some other countries *cough* USA *cough* I could name!

One thing I've noticed -- and it's not just that I'm getting older -- is that young adults are a lot less mature than 20 years ago
Sorry to break it to you pal, but it's just that you're getting older.
