Well you surely get to occupy them some (which is what the US did in Germany and Japan, actually the US still arguably occupy Germany) and tell them what they can do or can't do (i.e. rebuild an army or not). I guess there's no way you would actually want to make Germany or Japan become part of the USA? I mean, that's not like German-owned Alsace or Mexican-owned California, American-owned Japan is quite a stretch, you can't turn the Japanese into Americans.
Combine now pleasure to utility by inserting food in your mouth, and use this new innovation to transport yourself for miles on end! Never will you curse at the traffic for being so slow again! Never will you have to empty your wallet at the gas station! The future is at your feet, or rather, the future is IN your feet!!
I've said it before and this seems to confirm it - entrepreneurs aren't good at rocket science. They look at government funded space programs, and see the redundancy as waste and the precision as bureaucracy.
Fortunately the invisible hand of physics won't let them get away with it! Today won't be the last time these guys get an invisible punch in the face if they don't learn their lesson.
Indeed, I'm amazed by how so many Slashdotters' sense of humour consists in repeating the same fucking joke they heard before over and over again. "Tell Bush there's oil on Mars/Titan", "Bush is gonna want to "spread democracy" there har har har", "But, the Earth is only 6,000 years old!" and so on..
Memes are only funny when you use them in a way that makes your meme-based joke somewhat novel. Brainlessly repeating the same fucking thing without bringing any new twist to it is about as funny as an Adam Sandler movie.
Seems like another place to either export democracy to, or to fight potential terrorism. Either way, sounds like a place with oil, so its a potential new customer for Halliburton. Fast track to Mars!
You mean like the computer simulations that say the earth is warming? Hahahaha...
Indeed. Between your intuition and computer simulations running on super-computers based on decades of research on predictive models designed by the most competent and dedicated researchers in the domain, always trust your intuition.
This is why I never watch the weather channel, I just look at how leaves move in the wind, how menacing clouds look, then I wet my pointer finger, put it in the air and I can tell you how the weather will be tomorrow. Well I can tell what it will be, doesn't mean I turn out to be right, but hey, the Weather Channel is wrong sometimes too!
Heed my word, my brothers, for I have RTFA! It says that there's no way it has confirmed the presence of life right now or in the past on Mars. So what can be the big story they want to tell the President first?
Or if it's no bigger than "we found something that may or may not indicate the possibility that Mars may or may not have probably potentially hosted a form a life, maybe eventually?" then why the secrecy?
Stabbed himself repeatedly. Again and again. About the head, neck, and shoulders. In the back, in the front, in the sides. It was an ugly scene.
*BOOM* The novelty of your joke just blew my mind. (Btw you forgot the part where he cuts himself into pieces and places his bits into several different closed trash bags)
1. Mammalian hearts all tend to have a lifespan of x number of beats. The slower the heart beats, the longer-lived the critter is. This explains why small, jumpy rodents tend to have short lives and something like a whale is long-lived. This x number seems to be fairly consistent across species.
Wow, way to miss the proverbial elephant in the room that is that rule doesn't apply at all to humans.
The point you seem to be missed is that it takes *several* mass transports and what not to make your food before the final transports to the grocery store.
But what about all the trucks that brought food to the cow you're eating? The tractors and machines used in the making of that food for cows? The phreatic surfaces the pig you eat ribs from polluted with his poo?
Human power has this in common with the broken window fallacy, people just ignore what they don't immediately see, whereas the ramifications of what you don't see run deep.
Bwahahaha. A rag-tag mix of all the world's outcast creeds and populations, with a "history" of barely four centuries is going to dominate Earth's most ancient civilization - on cultural grounds, no less. Do tell.
1895 just called, they want their scepticism back.
Wow, is it some sort of elaborate joke that consists in calling people morons while yourself coming off as a retard?
If you can't nail something with a hammer, try a screwdriver, it may be a screw. Translation : try addressing the points I make instead of repeating the same clueless bullshit.

Both ours and Israelis. :-)
Exactly ;-) although from a national point of view that could be seen as a geographical penectomy.
That would never have worked because the residents of Florida are one of the best armed populations on Earth.
But they're all Jews already ;)
We should have just officially given them Florida instead... Problem solved.
And now ladies and gentlemen... our newest innovation... the wheel-less man-powered transportation! The means of transportation of the future! Putting gasoline in the trunk? So passé!

That's no U-turn. At best, it's a hard left.
So that's more like a L-turn then?
Martians should expect freedom and democracy very soon ;)
Please grab a VHS of Zoolander, pull the tape out and hang yourself with it, cause none of you both are funny or original.

Sounds pretty epic! Do they allow people to take pop-corn into the court?
True, but is it really a bad thing (not that you said it was)? I'd guess if you're healthy and use Viagra you'll be more sore once you're done.
Right on. That's why I said what I said, anyone healthy without a problem can get to the same thing naturally, so what's the point?
Welcome, Comrades! In Soviet Russia, ??? suicides you!
In Soviet Slashdot, your jokes don't finish you.

Liposuction? Won't anyone think of diseases involving degenerating muscles? Myopathy anyone?
This is the same as people might have thought of Viagra...
Why would someone healthy without any problem want any such help?
