As I understand it, the earth and sun line up with the center of the galaxy every year, and 2012 will be the first time in 25,800 years that this will happen on the winter solstice.
This happens to coincide with the end of a 144,000 day cycle in the Mayan calendar.
There will always be people who will push the limits. When the US speed limit was 55mph, people drove 65. Speed limits have been raised to 60 in some places, people drive 70 there. Where the limit is 65, people drive 75.
If you make the yellow longer, people will get used to it and run yellow lights that they would have stopped for before.

I'm sure that a lot of Apple fans have gone to AppleADay.com hoping to subscribe to a service that would sell them a new iThing every day just so they could be sure to always have the latest and greatest.
In the post-9/11 world you should assume it's a terrorist plot of some kind. Call Homeland Security immediately. They will cordon off the park, blow up the wallet, set up check points, and do body scans on everybody going in or out of the park.
I don't think so.
If I sign up for the database class, the professor will expect me to learn about databases (even if I'd rather learn about something else).
Every phone I've seen lately has a calculator mode (which is fine for basic stuff).
For anything complex (trigonometric functions, statistical functions, etc.) I'll use a spreadsheet on a real computer.

Minivan, Subaru Legacy, or SUV (Since daycare was mentioned)
HP leadership is now using a Magic 8 Ball to make all their decisions.
Maybe the 30 years weren't consecutive. For example, they could gone missing in 1970, been found in 1985, and lost again in 1995.

as long as they're still allowed to play hockey.
It sounds like you got the Lady Gaga song
it's like the game in the ST:TNG episode (the one where Wesley Crusher saved the Enterprise)

"protected archives?"

He's encouraging employees to waste office supplies. Very unprofessional.
"This why we not have nice things"
I've heard "Can't Keep Johnny Down" isn't about either of you. Is there any chance it's about your current opening act Jonathan Coulton ?
Maybe Murray can figure out the neutrino thing.
