Not only that, but her writing became extremely cliched and predictable very quickly. The formula is basically the same for all the books. By the middle of the last book I could feel that she was writing for the movie. In my estimation she was sort of a mediocre writer who had a good first idea, got a lucky hit and got rich, then regurgitated that same idea 6 more times, never really improving in style or exploring anything outside of her formula.
Momentum scales linearly with both mass and velocity, fields fall off with inverse square relations, and so on.
Can you prove this? How do we truly know that momentum scales linearly with mass and velocity ranging from 0->infinity? I don't think we can ever discover how the universe truly works, but instead we merely invent a mathematics that, as far as we can tell, accurately models what we perceive, which is just a tiny fraction of the ranges of things in the universe. I think it's safe to say that we have discovered that there are relationships between things, but I don't believe we can ever validate that our models of those relationships are 100% correct.
When it first started, eBay was awesome. Now it's just this shitty quagmire of greed, crappy products, fraud, and bidnappers. I will never use them again. Ever.
As others have pointed out, if the government were truly interested in safety and not revenue, they would put up signs well ahead of the intersections.
If the government (read, populace) was truly interested in safety the speed limit would be 10mph and all cars would be made out of Nerf. Nobody gives a fuck about safety, in the sense that "we'll do anything to save people's lives". People are way more interested in convenience and fun than safety. People would rather get to the store in 5 minutes to buy junk food and beer than guarantee safety on the roads. The whole safety thing is just a charade, so people can feel good about themselves, when in reality people don't really give two shits about it, when it comes down to it. Why not mandate that all cars have to achieve a 5 star safety rating, or they have to be safe enough to not have casualties up to 70mph or some such? Because cars would then be very expensive, and heavy, and inefficient. And people are not interested in paying the extra $$ for safe cars. So the whole red light camera thing is total bullshit because if people were really interested in safety, you wouldnt need them to begin with!
Who is to say that the new resistant strains won't be of some benefit to us? Maybe they will contain a protein that can kill some other even super-er superbug.
You'll notice a sign that reads "Golden Brook Ln" but nothing that says private. If you're going to name your driveway "Golden Brook Lane" and not put up obvious signage that it's a private drive, you deserve to have the occasional accidental visitor.
Did Google know they weren't wanted? Just because a road is private doesn't necessarily mean the owners have specifically forbidden you access. Someone could easily just end up on your street by accident from a wrong turn or whatnot. I would say if you're that concerned about your privacy on a private road, you would put in a gate. Or instead of just a "private road" sign, maybe something like "Private Road - Residents only!". It's like someone using my driveway to make a U-turn. Unless I have a sign that specifically says "No trespassing" I don't think it's illegal for someone to drive into my driveway. I certainly couldn't sue them for invasion of privacy or mental anguish.

I'm not sure training monkeys to use pliers is the most responsible thing to do. When those monkeys take over I don't think I want them knowing how to use the Testicle-Crushing and Fingernail-Pulling device...

But if you had a CD labeled "Poison" you should definitely be punished.
Things work a little differently in Lawyerland, which is nestled snugly between Sharkopia and Snakesia.
All these new "unstoppable supervirus: we're all gonna die!" articles are idiotic and wrong.
That's exactly what the unstoppable supervirus wants you to think!

Pinball has no cooperative component; it's a "single-player" game
One person per flipper. Two player co-op! Or maybe PVP if you're drunk enough.

The results of this experiment suggest that we would only have to bring bacteria, air, and water.
And tacos, of course.
Hmmmmm, what am I going to do with this file therapist.avi?
Just rename it to "analbumcover.avi"
You can get a full-sized laptop with twice the ram, more than 10x the storage, a bigger screen, etc., for under $500.00
I dare say you have completely missed the point of this device. The whole point is that it's not "full-sized".

No, not visible.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of chairs cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Microsoft has a ton of cash it is sitting on and it's burning a hole in their pocket.
God forbid they pay it out in dividends to their shareholders. They are obviously incompetent to get their stock price up.
Google wasn't wanted

Is there anything they CAN'T do?
Yeah, by their logic if I hibernate my computer with WoW running I would be violating their copyright.
They're going to be pissed when they realize we sent them a shoddy bomb casing filled with used pinball machine parts.
It's just a really cold room
And got burnt when they dumped their life savings into HXMP, the hottest most promising stock of the decade!

to be alone with their thoughts
What thoughts?
I take my women like I take my music. Vinyl. Er, wait...
