When two groups of retards attack each other, everyone wins...
Tell that to the dwellers in the forest:
And each new sign signified the same thing - that the Princes of the Plains and the Tribesmen of the Cold Hillsides were about to beat the hell out of each other again.
This in itself wouldn't be so bad, except that the Princes of the Plains and the Tribesmen of the Cold Hillsides always elected to beat the hell out of each other in the Forest, and it was always the Dwellers in the Forest who came off worst in these exchanges, though as far as they could see it never had anything to do with them. (Life, the Universe, and Everything, Chapter 34)
Everybody else understood perfectly that they are now estimated to be between 10% and 50% of the former estimate.
So 10x less massive = n - (1/10)n
2x less massive = n - (1/2)n
and by extension:
1/2x less massive = n - (1/(1/2))n = n - 2n
If the terminology is used consistently, then that last step doesn't make sense. It also doesn't make sense how "ten times" translates to "one tenth", its inverse.
The documentation could be clarified. I.e. Operation should start with:
1a. Before encoding/decoding a letter, shift the right rotor up one space. 1b. If the (up arrow) notch is in the window row (Row A), the next time you move that rotor, also move the rotor to its left.
When you decipher the sample message, "QMJIDO MZWZJFJR," you learn the German word for "Ovaltine".
I didn't read TFA, or even TFAS, but I assume that it talks about helping neurons fire, it's talking specifically about the neurons that make people say hyperbolic things about how cellphones and overhead power grids cause cancer.
If you wanted to get me out into the streets, cutting off the internet would be the way to do it. Not so much complaining about tyranny, but because I'm no longer wasting the day watching videos of other people's cats.
This makes sense. When you walk into the airport, you're given a flower pot with soil in it and a seed inside. By the time you get to the security gate, the seed will have grown to a flower. The TSA officers will then let you in based on the color of the flower.
This won't take any more time than usual, because waiting in line at the airport is already like watching plants grow.
There must be some way to fix this in user preferences, because I must have set some custom settings in V2.
When I logged in, the headers are no longer persistent, I had much less whitespace, the zillions of comment borders were gone, and the "X replies to this comment" are now visible again (though they still sometimes go to a new page instead of displaying them underneath).
A positive change was that when I logged in from the comments page, it kept me there instead of booting me back to the main page.
Although I was only watching the video [of a set of three red-light cameras that I pinpointed to an intersection in eastern Texas], the fact was that I had accessed a set of public security cameras that were left wide open for anyone to get in.
Because he accessed the feed through the back door, he probably didn't see the welcome mat on the front door. Many jurisdictions put traffic cameras (which are not the same as 'security cameras') online intentionally so people can plan their commute for the day.
Definitely not one of the biggest, but after I used photos of a Lego Technic model to demonstrate the functioning of the Falkirk Wheel's caissons, some wank at the BBC got the idea that Lego was used in the design of the Wheel. They reported this in a retrospective on Lego sometime after the original model/description was removed from the Falkirk Wheel page, and this BBC story was then cited to claim that Lego had been used in the design of the wheel!
Most of it is gone from the Wikipedia page, but I go over the various edits in a blog post.
This game could easily be hacked to connect the controller directly to the game. That would be unfair to all those who achieved a decent high score using the paramecium-webcam interface.

Sure, a prayer is like a prediction that something will happen. Pray more and you'll experience more coincidences that your predictions are right.
Still doesn't mean your prayer caused it.

Since the "whoosh" didn't explain it clearly enough: That's why GP called it a "pet peeve". Because it's a misuse of a common phrase.

What happens when you forget to feed it? Will it turn on its masters?
The coffee table won't, but the lazy susan probably will.

Tens and Tens of Stars = Who gives a shit...
I believe this would be classified as a "roast", especially if the stars aren't very bright.

I absolutely LOVE that going from 4 pairs of jeans to only 3 pairs of jeans is a long story for you.
He cut the fourth pair off at the knees, so now they're shorts.

Not to mention most game shows, where contestants don't get their winnings if the results are leaked before the show airs.

Ok, so how the fuck does the whole "randomly delete stuff that doesn't make it over an arbitrary notability hurdle" fit into that premise?
Well it does say a "summary". Not "every detail".

Heck, over here the municipality has a Google Maps Mashup of their webcams for your viewing pleasure.

Indeed. Now let's get back to important matters, like Kirk vs. Picard.
