Yeah, it's very common for imported/foreign versions of the same product to cost more for various reasons. Certainly not an indigtment against Best Buy.
"Most of the people [working on] Zune would want to have an iPod to keep track of the competition,"
That's right, how can you copy your competitor if you don't have any of their products on hand? Oops, did I say "copy"? I meant "compete with".. my bad..
Maybe they have discovered an alloy of Adamantium and Unobtainium and are using it to build a secret army of shapeshifting mechatrons disguised as really good looking sports cars in an evil plot to take over the world, and get lots of really hot, easy chicks at the same time!
Anyone else here remember when it was social suicide to even admit you knew how to turn on a computer, let alone use one? Now they come in pink, with armstraps. Somewhere along the line I have slipped into a strange parallel universe. If anyone from my homeworld can read this, please send help.
Interesting. Also, from TFA: This, in turn, would result in "genetically disadvantaged offspring,"
I don't see how clones are necessarily genetically disadvantaged. If you have good genes to begin with then there is no harm in passing on those genes to your clone. Even over millions of years natural selection will still occur and random mutation will introduce genetic variety into clones. I doubt sharks have evolved much in the past million years, why would they be rapidly evolving in the next million years? They are pretty much at the top of their game already.
But a recent Environment Canada study found no statistical difference between the greenhouse gas emissions of regular unleaded fuel and 10 per cent ethanol-blended fuel. Environmental groups have argued that producing ethanol -- whether from corn, beets, wheat, or other crops -- requires more energy than can be derived from the product.
Who cares if it requires more energy or not? If the greenhouse emissions are equivalent, then it comes down to which is cheaper. If ethanol is less or the same cost as gasoline at the pump, then I want ethanol. I might even pay a little MORE because it gets OPEC's huge cock out of my ass. The US is one of the largest corn producers in the world. If we can make our own alcohol fuels domestically then we should pursue that.
Yeah. It just goes to show you how stupid humans can be sometimes. I think even chimpanzees have solved their spam problem by now, but humans will just keep squabbling and squabbling without fixing anything. Nobody wants to make any effort to fix spam, everyone just wants someone else to do it for them and make it all magically better..
When I was in college back in the triassic period, broadband had nothing to do with transmission rates, but with the fact that multiple channels were transmitted through a single wire (like TV) over a more broad frequency band than single-channel narrowband transmission, regardless of speed. Every time I hear someone say "broadband" in reference to the speed of some sort of internet connection I sort of cringe inside.

those are african kilograms, not european kilograms
I think you have won the daily Dork Of The Day award
1. Build computer out of diamonds.
2. ???
3. Girlfriend!
Short answer: "yes" with an "if"
Long answer: "no" with a "but"
See, this wouldn't be a problem if we just cut their heads off to begin with.
Well, that and plugging your food directly into 120v AC

We should wear red underpants on the outside of our clothes
Huh? Is there any other way to wear them?

I tell you, nothing chaps my hide more than a perfectly made margarita.

Is that larger or smaller than a googolyplexy?

And that came from a kid going to college in Canada and another kid going to high school in New Jersey
Haha. He says that as if being from Canada or New Jersey is akin to being in the special olympics or something.

Isn't Ping-Pong a tabletop version of Tennis?
I wonder what the first videogame would have been if humans had never invented tennis.
Get him a can of this for Christmas.
I guess they've never really mastered that third tenet of their design theory...
