It's a frozen dustball now. Many years ago, who knows? And Earth was supposed to have had a poisonous atmosphere a long time ago (similar to the one we're trying to create nowadays:-)
I suppose it hasn't occurred to them that the rover might be in a Martian equivalent of the Dead Sea? There are plenty of inhospitable places on Earth, too.
Page 10 of a 54 page document? Sears must be Douglas Adams fans!
This reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where it was pointed out that the public plans for the hyperspace bypass were to be found in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet, stuck upside-down, in a disused toilet with a sign on the door saying 'BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD!'
This is another example of how Vista has better security than previous Windows releases. It won't let you connect to the internet, by design. Another problem solved!
I'm sad to see this go. I didn't use it very much but it was kind of reassuring that it was there. Okay, I'm crazy!
I once answered the phone at work, and found that the call was the speaking clock. Weird... folks told me it was probably returning all the past calls I'd placed to it.
Why can't a phone just be a phone any more? I don't want a phone that's a PDA, camera, voice recorder, makes the dinner, advises me on my psychoses, and so on. I just want it to be a phone, darn it!
The most significant problem with modern Western health care is not the technology per se, it's the inappropriate use of it. It's all too tempting for doctors to order more and more sophisticated tests whereas, in reality, "take an aspirin and see me in the morning" would do. It's great to have access to the latest, expensive, whiz-bang technology; but it the majority of cases it isn't appropriate, nor needed. There's a similar story for antibiotics - use these prophylactically and you eliminate the odd 0.1% infection rate (until the bugs become resistant). Either our doctors need to cool it with the technology a little, or the population as a whole has to realize that it some want to stay alive for a little longer, it's going to cost everyone very dearly.
The other problem with our health care system is that there are too many costly administrators. But that's another story.
This is BS. How does this affect gmail.com, registered in the US? As far as I can see, anyone anywhere in the world can sign up a gmail.com account without prejudice. The company is based in the US; they're not marketing gmail.de, it's gmail.com. It's not even g-mail.com. How can the EU prevent its citizens using gmail.com, and require that they use g-mail.de (or whatever) instead?
I really can't believe a figure of 18% of the US population. That's something like 60 million people. Considering scads of folks are still on dial-up, they must have been downloading the darned things for DAYS (only to find the crc is bad at the end of the download anyway...)

...Hand me mine, please.
I much prefer having other people google me. So much more satisfying.
My computers don't have floppy drives :-)
Okay, hands up those who read that as WD-40.
I can make *anything*? I've been waiting for years for a transwarp drive.
I bow to your superior knowledge!

Let me rephrase: Maybe the screenplay is masturbatory
So the villain is called Nero, eh?
I suppose violins will be well represented on the soundtrack.
This smells of corruption. The RIAA probably threatened to give each jury member 100 copies of the latest Britney CD.
All you need is the right software to access it. Fortunately, there are several websites out there that allow you to do this - e.g. amazingcamera.com

It doesn't even have a translation for "cheezburger", let alone "bukkit"...

Well, it certainly looks like Rhino wants him to pay through the nose :-)

Oops, didn't RTFH properly. Make that 25 million people. I still don't believe it though.
