if these hip-hop artists are really "gangstas" and are as hard as they claim, they will be gunning down RIAA executives in the street.
I thought they were DJs, which means they'd have to first sample some real hip-hop "gangstas" gunning down RIAA executives, then perform a mix of those samples.

Once the dictionary concept was created the need to rely on latin for describing things of importance dropped greatly. It was sometime in the late 1600s and at oxford university I think. The traditions in science and medicin to go back to the latin roots words still remains. This is probably because of the heavy reliance on it from the early days of the feilds and alot of modern science and medicle inovation is related to earlier concepts that used the latin style wording.
Evidently, this "dictionary" concept needs further refinement.
I would just take billions of pill sized coctails of bacteria from all extreme regions of the earth and fire them off semi randomly throughout the galaxy, wait a billion years for them to evolve and contact us back.
Yes, but how can you guarantee that any of them will evolve into telephone sanitisers?

Or imagine trying to talk to someone from the 1300s...
Well, I know two centuries ago, lots of people spoke Latin (not to mention throughout the reign of the Catholic church).
America needs to worry more about the problems we have at home and less on other countries internal politics when they are not a threat to the U.S.'s safety.
Actually, this goal would be more easily achieved by ignoring the U.S.
Standing up to the U.S. requests would only create conflict, and make the issue more attractive for politicians/the news media to focus on.
What business is it of yours to tell that person what they should consider a priority?
You say that you have had a different experience than the parent poster. This should inherently disqualify you from calling them "short-sighted".
Instead, you are saying 'you should value WP because of its contributions to society, and even if you don't value that, you should still consider it to be a priority, because I value it".
I, for one, dread the thought of a world where everyone's values, thoughts, and actions were identical to mine.
If they actually use this, schools will start saying no thanks to their "free" computers - which will, in the long term, be a serious blow to Microsoft.
Hm. You raise a good point, and have managed to change my mind: I'm now in favour of it!
I'm a physics teacher currently teaching about the Big Bang and possible ends of the Universe. I'm just wondering if there are any research physicists in the room who could tell me which theory of the end of the Universe has the most physical evidence to support it at the current time.
Ah, the subtle differences between a Physics teacher and a Physics professor...
It is in the top 10 for CO2 fixation! It has over 25,000 uses of which smoking it is just 1!
We can make cloths, shoes, rope, cardboard, paper, and other goods from the fibers. We can make bread, cooking oil, ethanol, bio diesel, and bird food from the seeds. We can smoke the buds to relax.
Yes, but if everybody smoked them to relax, there would be nobody left to worry about global warming!
If we went to fission with waste reprocessing, we could be in good shape...It'll provide more power and vastly reduce the amount of waste produced.
It would consume some of the waste we produce, but it would not prevent that waste from being produced in the first place. (In fact, if successful, it would require more waste to be produced!)
How does the amount of energy derived from $PROCESSing waste compare to the amount that went into producing it?

Canada's economy is simply too dependent on the U.S. for this option to be viable, as Trudeau learned in the '70s with his "Third Option".
It turns out that when you only border on one other country (Greenland and Russia not included), it's tough to not focus your trade with them.
