"But radiation that can kill a human also can kill a robot's electronics. Bennett estimated M2 could withstand intense radiation for only 50 minutes." That's alot of elaboration. I know how cells are affected by radiation, and have and idea of how electronics would be, but I haven't heard alot about this problem and don't know for sure. How exactly are electronics affected by this radiation? Cool robot, though. It'll make a great new overlord.
The colonies were before the Revolution, which occured because we were upset about our inability to change how the government treated us with taxes, housing of soldiers, punishing people for criticizing the King, etc.
It is a self-fufilling prophecy. If the size and power of the government is increased to take care of us, and our rights and liberties are decreased, if it doesn't work then the obvious answer is that it didn't work last time and we need to do more of it this time. This is how our government has balooned in size and power, neither of which it was supposed to have in the first place. Would you say the last presidential election was big? What percent of the American populace actually voted? Are people in general happy with the results of said election according to presidential popularity polls? Are our rights being taken one by one and our incomes increasingly taxed away to support an oversized power-abusing government composed of many people who exist only to leech off of tax money? Well, if the US today is declining as a world power, economically and politically, and we are increasingly becoming a nanny state (deviating from founding American ideas), even though correlation doesn't always imply causation, there could be a pattern here.
Not just that. A nanny state doesn't believe that you can think and reason well enough to live on your own, and that the government must care for you with welfare, forced minimum payments on debt, state healthcare, education, parenting your children, filtered information, limited commercial choices and the like because YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO LIVE WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT. The kicker is that this theory destroys the foundation of democracy. Maybe they should vote for you too? I CAN manage my credit cards without you, CAN decide what food is safe without you, CAN dedcide what my kids should not watch without your help and CAN run my life without your help. Thank you anyway.
I for one welcome our new Azn h4>0r overlords. No, seriously, I think that it's great that many people in China are improving their lives (just wish it wasn't in IT), but it sucks that our government (USA) doesn't have the balls to prevent corruption and power abuses and then worry about other nations human rights abuses (though even the worst prisoner abuses here are nothing compared to what has been done in China, and the frequency is much greater there also).
No one I know watches it for music (even if they could). But I only know cool people, and have no idea what the hell the sheeple do. I torrent all my music, delete the loads of crappy music-factory songs, then buy what's left (which isn't much, there's alot of suckage out there). I've actually bought more CDs then ever doing this. I buy about one CD a month now, up from not buying any when I lived overseas and had no idea what to listen to. But I won't be buying $ony any more...
People are stuoid. Chimps are probably also smarter than adults. I for one welcome our new simian overlords - they couldn't possibly do a worse job than any government.
I, for one, welcome our new overlord Torvalds... wait... doh!
He just gave his opinion, probably more for people wanting to try Linux than people already using it. He's just saying, "I find this one easier, make sure to try it and not think that Gnome is Linux." I, personally agree with him (though I like Fluxbox even more) but I've been handing out Ubuntu discs left and right and recently permanently switched one of my friends. He's perfectly content with Ubuntu and Gnome.
He's using IPv6. Not only is he well-equipped, he can communicate using the galactic standard. They're just a little ahead of us, those space aliens and tibetan monks.
It was pretty cool for about two weeks, but once the appeal of the the cutesy gamey widgets wear out (or take up too much screen space), there are few that offer any real utility that isn't matched elsewhere more easily. A well-equipped Firefox can easily replace most of the widgets (ex. Forcastfox, Foxytunes, etc.). And really, who needs half a dozen portal widgets? Leave Firefox open and in two clicks you can select a different search function, then search away wherever (though certainly not torrentspy.com cough cough cough).
Just phase out IPv4. Have all new equipment/software include IPv6 by default. Time for "Best of Bash.org":
Some cool info: Tibeten monks, after twenty years or so of practise in the Himalaya, control their brain stem - they can control their heart beat, blood pressure etc. After thirty years they can connect to the internet purely by meditation, setting TCP stacks in their neurons and stuff. Right now I am chatting with a monk who is sitting naked in an ice storm on his towel, his only possesion. He's using ipv6.
Wikipedia is at least as reliable cable news. Seriously, if you only have ONE resource for information, at some point it will fail you. A diverse array of perspectives is good, esp. for cross-checking facts. "Beware the man of one book." said Saint Thomas Aquinas. I, for one, can't see any other overlords worth welcoming. Wiki ownz.
Sue them in several years? Dude, RTF newspaper. This is America. You can sue ANYBODY for ANYTHING. And too many people get away with it. In fact, I'm gonna sue you for being so ignorint about Amurickuh. Mah lawya be contactin ya' soon.

There already is a program with the same name. I use it, and it is the default in many Linuxes http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

Yes I can tell. The Iranian one has the botulism. Silly you. If the meat is British or Canadian, it has mad cow. Don't you read the news? Kidding.
I for one welcome our new robotic spider overlords. Really, that is cool.

To reproduce the most authentic personalities for virtual women, they should all run like Windows - do I really need to elaborate?
