If we know we're tracking 90% of NEOs, why not the other 10%? Isn't it more likely that number was just made up to give a false sense of security? I remember back in the 90s after the Shoemaker-Levy collision there was a brief increase in funding to NEO tracking; IIRC it didn't last past the end of the decade. And considering the state of this page, I don't have a lot of confidence in their efforts.
So now they're still bad teachers, but they're more efficient at it. Unfortunately I've never seen a PP in a class that was worth a shit, whether the teacher was good or not. Sure, the lazy teachers use it to avoid teaching, but the rest are picking up the same bad habits.
First, no, that's why I said what I said. Second, wtf? I go trolling intentionally and get modded insightful. I state an honest, if cynical, opinion and get trolled? I'm starting to hate this site, it's dominated by fucking morons. Yes, THAT was a troll. Do your worst, assholes.
Which is the technology, the arrangement of hardware that made it possible (based on a hundred years of prior art) or the computation done by the software that drives it.... just sayin.
Software which is based upon centuries worth of mathematics? Just sayin.
Powerpoint is the worst thing to ever happen to higher education. It lets these professors, whose teaching abilities are minimal to begin with, just coast through their responsibilities to the students. They think they don't have to do any real teaching anymore.
Alright, you're right, I assumed too much. I should have explicitly mentioned the oil company he drove into the ground and the baseball team that was almost disbanded.
To answer your question, I thought the people who thought he was some evil genius were completely insane. He'd have to be diabolical on the level of Dr. Doom to pull that off, he's not even as diabolical as Dr. Demento.
Your opinion is an idiot. I brought up Bush for his record as a failed businessman, not for his failed presidency, you politicized it. And anyone who's not a halfwit himself can look into W's eyes and see there's nothing in there.
Right, just ask George W Bush. I'd think it was hard too if I was an incompetent moron who never had to actually work for a fucking thing in his entire spoon-fed existence. Fuck you and fuck this corporate douche.
See, if I respond, I'm pushing an agenda. I don't want to convince you of anything (not today anyway), I was just making a statement. So I will reply with a noncommittal "meh."
Yeah, music sales were still on the upswing at that point. After video games and dvds starting making a dent in their bottom line, the RIAA turned on the internet as a scapegoat to blame for their loss of sales, willfully ignoring the fact that the overall quality of their product has been dropping for years and their obstinate refusal to adapt and adopt new technologies and methods. The writing is on the fucking wall, RIAA isn't just fighting progress, it's fighting evolution.

yeah that's kinda what I was getting at, but better articulated

Depends. Is there a modifier for a sneak attack?
yeah, +3 HOLY SHIT A FUCKING METEOR!
Objects, large and small, can only be detected by looking for them. We haven't been doing much of that.

to which I will reply, nothing this country has done in the last decade "Promotes the progress of Science and useful Arts"

I agree with you, but this fucking guy's whining makes it sound like he doesn't even know his kid's name.

this is Amerka, dude, commie bullshit like that don't fly here
Diversions from the responsibility of being a decent parent? Do you know how much of a twat you sound like?

I used to use vmware player, config is shit. Switch to virtualbox and build your own image, much more fun.
I mean seriously, how hard is it to do a little digging. According to the mirrors, it's been up for at least a day. Jeeze, don't try or anything.
parodies can be amusing, but this looks fucking stupid.
If and when we actually do achieve Type II Civilization status, it won't matter.
Who's calling whom an idiot, idiot?

yeah, and naturally you get the flamebait mod, just take that as striking uncomfortably close to the truth
What's wrong is the anti-religious are just as annoying and retarded as their undoubting brethren. They're all just pushing agendas.
