Who said anything in a few million years? Simply saying that if the sun detonates today (it won't) or if we had had the misfortune of evolving millions of years later, we'd be completely screwed.
Or perhaps a passing black hole throws our system out of orbit?
Who said anything about anthropomorphizing? If you're going to criticize the statement criticize it on the grounds that it implicitly claims that the enviroment is an infinitely exploitable resource. Which, duh, it isn't. (Now whether the finiteness is important is a seperate issue.)
By the end of the decade, Virgin Galactic - the most exciting development in the story of modern space history - is planning to make it possible for almost anyone to visit the final frontier at an affordable price.
Kick ass! I'm going to have 200,000 dollars in disposable income by 2008! Awesome!

Or does this mean hyperinflation?
Flamebait? An unpopular opinion, perhaps, but the parent poster has made an argument, and has not verbally attacked any other user, unlike the child AC who has been modded up.
Leia: They're tracking us! That's the only explanation for the ease of our escape.
I believe it can be well argued that Leia most certainly was aware that they were being tracked.

Funny you should cite a dictionary reference when it's the legal definition that we care about.
I always find it amazing that people cite dictionary defintions when a dispute over a word meaning occurs. It's so gay.
Depends if it kills them or not, and if they knew if it could or not.
You can't say nucleaaaaar! That really scares me....
Great idea. The politicians could refer to the movement as:

MMmmmh... Ramen Laser... beef flavored...

Just because it agrees with your idea of a sport, doesn't make it a sport.
Indeed, studies have shown that drinking hemlock twice a day greatly decreases risk of beheading.

Sun supernovas. I'm betting on nature.

Maybe I need an editor

You and the rest of slashdot.
Well I'll be. Skatole really is a name given to a chemical compound.

For that informative bit of Organic Chemistry knowledge, I dub thee Propane Muthafucka.
Oh, go and spoil the ending for us. Thanx.
BUT what about pressure WAVES?! I hear they're _everywhere_, and they directly affect BIOLOGICAL ORGANS, near the BRAIN!
Um, do we put you on that same island?
That was very nice.
Can we have the stories of the 140,000 people who died at hiroshima now?

Net positive result? Why? Why not just a less negative result?

Typical. Someone writes a rant about how stupid and liberal people are on slashdot and immediately get modded as +5 insightful.
Evil dead I was supposed to be a legitimate horror film.

Sir, you do your screen name justice.
